At Plastic Surgery Turkey Group, we believe that a traditional facelift is a highly effective rejuvenation procedure with proven results. While there are various rejuvenation techniques available, we find that a traditional facelift often delivers the best outcomes. This surgical intervention offers rapid recovery and minimal contraindications. Here is an overview of the procedure:

  1. The surgeon makes incisions along the hairline around the ears and under the chin.
  2. The skin is carefully separated from the underlying muscles.
  3. The muscles are then stitched together to create a smoother contour and a well-defined neckline.
  4. Excess fat is removed if necessary.
  5. Any surplus skin is meticulously removed.

A traditional facelift can yield impressive results, and most patients can typically return to work within 10 days. Stitches are usually removed after about a week. In addition to the facelift, we often combine other procedures to further enhance the outcomes, such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat transplantation, or rhinoplasty. These additional procedures are tailored to each patient's goals and contribute to overall facial rejuvenation.

We offer a range of innovative facelift methods that utilize existing technologies to achieve specific and personalized results. Our highly skilled and qualified surgeon will guide you in choosing the procedure based on the unique needs, they will recommend one the most suitable technique for you:

  • SMAS (Superficial Muscular-Aponeurotic Technique): This method focuses on the superficial muscular-aponeurotic system, a thin layer of connective tissue. It targets deep creases around the nose and mouth, such as nasolabial folds.
  • Subperistal Lift: This endoscopic procedure can cause increased swelling and bruising but provides effective results.
  • Deep Plane Facelift: A more invasive approach that reshapes the entire face, including the neck, eyebrows, and upper and lower eyelids. It is a comprehensive deep facelift.
  • Mid-Face Lift: Concentrating on the middle part of the face, this technique aims to address flabby skin, fat deposits, and tissues in the cheek area.
  • Threadlifting: This minimally invasive procedure utilizes self-locking polypropylene threads, which have a long history of safe surgical use. Threadlifting provides natural-looking results and requires less downtime.

The specific type of facelift recommended will depend on your individual requirements and the condition of your skin at the time of consultation with our specialist.

If you are concerned about the appearance of wrinkles and creases on your face, it is a clear indication to seek a consultation at a facelift clinic. Some common signs of skin aging and withering that may prompt you to consider a facelift include:

  • Sagging skin of the cheeks and jaws
  • Pronounced bags under the eyes
  • Creases in the eye area, such as crow's feet and smile lines
  • Permanent creases over the bridge of the nose and on the forehead

No matter the specific concern you have, our specialist will prioritize your needs by scheduling a consultation and conducting a thorough examination. This personalized approach ensures that the recommended treatment aligns with your goals and expectations.

Description of the Procedure

1

Preparation for a Facelift

Preparation for a facelift procedure may vary based on individual factors and the specific concerns of each patient. Here are some general guidelines to consider:

  • A week before the surgery, a course of massage and masks may be recommended to prepare the skin.
  • The night before the procedure, it is advised to have the last meal and take a bath or shower.
  • On the day of the facelift, it is important not to eat or drink anything, as this can lead to swelling and undesirable reactions during the surgery.
  • Taking a shower on the day of the procedure is allowed, but it is important to avoid using aggressive skincare products.
  • It is strictly prohibited to apply makeup on the day of the operation.
  • Avoid applying anti-aging, moisturizing, or any other creams to the face on the day of the surgery.

It is crucial to consult with your doctor for specific instructions and guidelines tailored to your individual case and desired outcomes. They will provide detailed information and ensure that you are well-prepared for the facelift procedure.

Performing a Facelift

A facelift procedure is performed by a facial plastic surgeon using modern techniques to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. The procedure follows a specific sequence:

  • Administration of general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the surgery.
  • The surgeon makes small incisions that extend from the patient's ear to the back of the hairline, providing access to the treated area.
  • Excess skin is carefully corrected through the incisions.
  • The skin is tightened and secured in the desired position.
  • Excess tissue is removed.
  • Neat cosmetic stitches are applied to all the incisions made.


Modern facelift techniques aim to minimize scarring while providing safe and effective results. However, it is important to choose a plastic surgeon with extensive practical experience to achieve the desired outcome. They will have the expertise to perform the procedure with precision and deliver the best possible results.

Frequently asked questions

  • HOW MANY DAYS DO I NEED TO STAY IN TURKEY?

    The optimal time is 8-14 days. On the first day you stay in Turkey and check into the hotel. The next day we will take you to the operation, which will last several hours. After 1-2 days you will be under the supervision of doctors in the clinic, and then you will leave the hospital. Then the doctor may prescribe repeated examinations to monitor the healing process. After a facelift, the patient will have stitches that will be removed for 7-10 days - the doctor will conduct an examination and make a decision beforehand.

  • WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE SUCH AN OPERATION?

    Before lifting, you need to know that the effect of the surgical procedure will last on average 10 years – this is the longest period that cosmetic procedures can provide. In addition, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor`s recommendations, which he will give after the examination. Be sure to tell the surgeon if you are undergoing treatment and taking any medications, as this may affect the course of the operation, recovery and the final result.

  • HOW MANY DAYS DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM A FACELIFT?

    Plastic surgeons perform a facelift using minimally invasive methods. However, rehabilitation is also required after them. Immediately after the operation, the patient remains in the clinic for a day under the supervision of specialists. Then the doctor gives recommendations. For a full recovery after a facelift, it may take from 1 to 6 months – everything depends on the individual characteristics of the body. The swelling will subside in 14 days after the operation. At about the same time, the surgeon will remove the stitches.

  • WHEN CAN I GET BACK TO WORK?

    Since a facelift is a surgery, it is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of a doctor to quickly recovery. This also applies to the work schedule. You can`t start working immediately after the procedure – you need to wait until the stitches are removed and the swelling subsides. The approximate time when the patient will be able to return to work is 7-10 days after the facelift. Even if you feel well, it is strictly not recommended to start working earlier.

  • WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS AFTER A FACELIFT?

    If a facelift operation is performed by a surgeon with extensive experience, then there are no complications after it. Edema may occur for about 1 month, but they will go away without additional medical intervention. It is not recommended to perform operations with the following contraindications:

    • Blood clotting disorders;
    • Diseases of the cardiovascular system;
    • Infectious and inflammatory diseases;
    • Any form of oncology;
    • Autoimmune diseases;
    • Pregnancy and breast-feeding.

    In such conditions, a facelift is accompanied by a high risk. In all other cases, the operation performed by experienced surgeons of our clinic is absolutely safe and will allow you to achieve the desired result.

  • WHERE WILL THE SCARS FROM THE FACELIFT BE?

    Experienced plastic surgeons always make the stitches from the facelift invisible. In most cases, the incision is made in the temple area next to the cartilaginous protrusion of the upper part of the auricle. After the procedure, the doctor makes a neat stitch, which he hides in the natural fold of the skin behind the ear. Thanks to this location of the incision and the suture technique, scars after a facelift remain invisible to others even with a detailed examination.
