Face Lift
What is Face Lift?
Face Lift surgery has been performed for nearly a century, making it a “classic” procedure. However, the past decade has seen revolutionary advancements in surgical techniques.
Facial skin typically begins to loosen around the age of 50, leading to excess skin and wrinkles. A facelift aims to remove this excess skin and tighten the remaining tissue to achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
The skin can be compared to fabric: if the fabric is too large for the pillow it covers, you trim the excess. However, facial anatomy is far more complex, and facelift surgery involves many intricate techniques. The procedure generally involves an incision along the line where the ear meets the cheek, allowing the removal of excess skin in the cheek area. This incision often extends behind the hairline at the temples and behind the ear, concealed within the hair.
Facelift surgery is often combined with other cosmetic procedures for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation. These may include a brow lift to raise sagging brows, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to remove excess skin and fat around the eyes, and a neck lift to tighten loose skin and eliminate sagging under the chin. This combined approach ensures a balanced and harmonious enhancement of facial features.
How is Face Lift Operation Process?
The process of a face lift in Turkey typically involves several steps. Firstly, the patient undergoes a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss their goals and expectations. Then, anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon makes incisions along the hairline and around the ears to access the underlying tissues. Excess skin is removed, and the muscles are tightened to achieve a smoother, more lifted appearance. Finally, the incisions are closed, and the patient is provided with post-operative care instructions.
How Noticeable Are the Scars?
In this surgery, incisions are made in front of and behind the ear, so some scarring is inevitable in these areas. However, if the incision in front of the ear is placed within the ear’s natural folds, much of the scar will remain hidden and barely noticeable.
Incisions made within the hairline are generally assumed to leave minimal visible scarring.
Ultimately, with a well-executed procedure, any remaining scars are typically faint and difficult to detect.
What is a Mini Facelift?
The procedure involves making incisions only in front of the ear, with a more limited lifting process. This approach offers the advantage of reduced scarring and a faster recovery due to the smaller scale of the surgery. However, because it is less extensive, the results are also more limited.
In my practice, I rarely prefer this surgery. While the term “mini” sounds appealing, considering that the primary visible scar is already in front of the ear and incisions within the hairline usually leave no noticeable marks, I find the advantages of this method to be limited.
Moreover, in mini facelifts, insufficient skin tension can result in more pronounced scarring and may cause the ear to be pulled slightly forward.
Nonetheless, if you only require a limited facelift, this “mini” version can be considered.
Facelift Costs in Turkey
Several factors can influence the cost of a face lift in Turkey. These include the extent of the procedure, the techniques used, the experience and expertise of the surgeon, the location of the clinic or hospital, and any additional services or amenities provided. Generally, the cost of a face lift in Turkey is competitive compared to many other countries, making it an attractive option for individuals seeking cosmetic surgery.
How is Face Lift Performed in Turkey?
In Turkey, face lift procedures are performed by highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeons in modern facilities equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The surgical techniques used may vary depending on the patient’s specific needs and goals. Common methods include traditional face lift surgery, mini face lift, and endoscopic face lift. These procedures are tailored to address the individual’s concerns while ensuring natural-looking results.
Can This Surgery Solve All Aging-Related Problems?
No, this surgery only tightens the sagging skin. It has minimal effect on the mid-face area. If you have sagging in your cheeks, combining this surgery with an endoscopic mid-facelift procedure will yield much better results.
What are The Advantages of Face Lift?
Lifts and tightens sagging skin, enhancing definition in the jawline and cheekbones.
Smooths wrinkles and fine lines, delivering a more youthful appearance.
Addresses loose skin, giving the face a firmer and more toned look.
The effects of the surgery can last several years, helping maintain a youthful appearance over time.

Important Considerations Before Treatment
Clearly define your aesthetic goals and discuss them with your surgeon.
Undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to confirm you are in good health.
Set realistic expectations regarding the results.
Your surgeon will help determine the most suitable approach based on your needs and anatomical assessment.
Plan for the recovery period and any potential downtime. Ensure you can allocate time for healing and follow-up appointments.
Be aware of the procedure’s costs, as cosmetic surgeries are typically not covered by insurance. Plan your budget accordingly.
Discuss your lifestyle and habits with your surgeon. Factors such as smoking or alcohol consumption can impact healing and the success of the surgery.
Schedule a detailed consultation with a qualified surgeon.
Medical Considerations for Face Lift Surgery
A comprehensive health assessment is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a facelift surgery.
Inform your surgeon about any previous surgeries, especially those involving anesthesia, as this information can impact your surgical plan and recovery process.
Your surgeon will provide detailed information on what to expect and how to minimize potential risks.
Provide a complete list of all medications and supplements you are currently taking, including both prescription and over-the-counter products.
Report any known allergies or past adverse reactions to medications or anesthesia.

Symptoms typically subside within 1-2 weeks.
Applying cold compresses and following your surgeon’s advice can help manage these effects.
Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks.
Full recovery, including the resolution of swelling and bruising, may take several weeks.
Keeping the surgical area clean and adhering to your surgeon’s wound care instructions is essential.
You may need to use prescribed ointments and avoid certain activities to support healing.
Avoid strenuous exercises and activities that require bending your head or lifting heavy objects for at least 2-4 weeks.
Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon are crucial for monitoring your recovery and addressing any concerns.
The final results of the facelift will become fully visible as swelling and bruising subside.

Customer Experience
Is a Face Lift Surgery Permanent?
It is difficult to say exactly how long the effects will last. The outcome depends on how detailed and extensive the surgery is, and you may not immediately notice the difference after the procedure. For example, the correction made by the surgeon may only be a few centimeters in front of the ear, or it can extend along the entire cheek to the lips. This difference determines both the quality of the result and how long the effects will last.
This surgery is largely dependent on the skill of the surgeon. A well-performed surgery can yield highly impressive results, while a poorly performed surgery might result in no changes or fail to achieve the expected improvements. For instance, breast augmentation surgery usually yields good results, but the situation is different with facial surgeries. It is crucial to trust the expertise of your surgeon.
In front of the mirror, gently pull your cheeks towards your ears with your hands, making sure not to alter your mouth shape. The effect of the surgery will be roughly similar to this.
This type of surgery is generally required after the age of 50. It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the US and Europe. Individuals in their later middle ages, particularly career-focused ones, often undergo this surgery to appear more youthful and energetic.
Undergoing an endoscopic mid-face lift simultaneously can significantly improve the quality of the results.
