A mini facelift is a less invasive version of the traditional facelift, designed for patients with early signs of aging. It targets the lower face and neck, lifting sagging skin and tightening underlying muscles. The procedure is quicker, involves smaller incisions, and typically requires less recovery time, making it an excellent option for those looking for subtle yet effective rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Minimally invasive surgical procedure targeting early signs of aging in the lower face. Small "S" shaped incisions made around the ear. Skin is lifted with minor adjustments to underlying tissues. Provides subtle rejuvenation with minimal scarring and downtime.
Surgical procedure targeting the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) layer beneath the skin. Incisions made around the ears, potentially extending into the hairline. The SMAS layer is lifted and tightened, along with the skin. Offers significant improvements in facial contours, reducing deep wrinkles and sagging.
Advanced surgical technique addressing deeper facial tissues, including muscles and fat. Incisions placed around the ears, extending into the hairline. Deeper layers of tissue, including muscles and fat, are lifted and repositioned to enhance facial contours. Provides comprehensive and longer-lasting results with a natural appearance.
Proper preparation is essential for a smooth procedure and recovery. Here’s how to prepare for your facelift surgery:
Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.
For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.
Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.
If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.
A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.
It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.
Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. If you prefer to pay via credit card, a processing fee will be applied to the final payment.

Your facelift surgery is carefully planned to ensure comfort and safety. Here's what to expect:
Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.
A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.
You will meet with your surgeon to confirm the details of your procedure. This is a great time to ask any final questions about the surgery, your aesthetic goals, and the recovery process. Your surgeon will also mark the areas to be treated.
You’ll be given anesthesia, which may be general or local with sedation, depending on the complexity of your surgery. This ensures you’ll be comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
Once sedated, the surgeon will begin the facelift procedure, which may involve lifting and tightening the skin, repositioning facial muscles, and removing excess skin. The procedure can last from 2-4 hours depending on the type of facelift (full, mini, deep plane, or neck lift).
Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.
You’ll meet with your dentist to confirm the details of your procedure. This is the time to ask any final questions about your aesthetic goals, the procedure, and the recovery process. Your dentist will also mark the areas to be treated.
For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.
Depending on the procedure (Smile Makeover, crowns, veneers, or implants), your dentist will take the necessary steps to prepare your teeth. This may involve removing damaged or decayed portions of the teeth, placing temporary crowns or veneers, or placing dental implants.
After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during this phase.
After the surgery, you’ll be moved to a recovery area where our medical team will monitor you as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during the initial recovery phase.
We’re committed to helping you recover smoothly and efficiently. Here’s what you can expect after your facelift surgery:
Most facelift procedures are outpatient surgeries, and you’ll return to your hotel or home the same day. If necessary, you may stay overnight for observation.
You’ll have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor the healing process. Your surgeon will check for swelling, bruising, and ensure that your recovery is on track.
You may need to wear compression garments for several days to help reduce swelling and support the healing tissues.
After your facelift, rest is important for proper healing. Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least 4-6 weeks to ensure your results are preserved.
The incisions for a facelift are carefully placed in discreet locations, typically around the ears and hairline, to minimize visibility. Over time, the scars will fade, but they may not disappear completely. Proper aftercare will help the scars heal as naturally as possible.
Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.

A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin and tissues on the face and neck to create a more youthful appearance. The procedure can address concerns such as loose skin, deep creases, and jowls. It involves making incisions around the ears and hairline, depending on the type of facelift being performed.
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with visible signs of aging, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowls, who want a more youthful appearance. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume light activities within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery can take 4-6 weeks, with swelling and bruising subsiding during that period. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.
The results of a facelift are long-lasting, though they may not be permanent. Aging continues after the procedure, but the rejuvenated look can last for many years. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve the results.
Facelifts are typically performed under anesthesia, so there’s no pain during the procedure. After surgery, mild to moderate discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common, but these can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
While the initial swelling will subside within a few weeks, the final results may take up to 6 months to fully settle as the skin adjusts to its new position.
A full facelift targets both the lower face and neck, lifting more tissue for a more dramatic result, while a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and is less invasive with shorter recovery time.

Most women are able to breastfeed after breast implant replacement, but it depends on the technique used and the amount of tissue altered. Be sure to discuss your concerns about breastfeeding with your surgeon before the procedure.
It is possible to breastfeed after breast reduction, but the ability to do so may depend on the technique used and how much tissue is removed. Discuss this with your surgeon prior to surgery to understand the potential impact on breastfeeding.
