Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that corrects sagging in the face and neck areas, reduces wrinkles, and provides a younger appearance. It is one of the most effective methods for correcting changes in the face created by the aging process. Facelift surgeries performed in our clinic are carried out using modern surgical techniques. With the SMAS lifting technique, not only the skin but also the underlying muscle and connective tissue are tightened to achieve natural and long-lasting results. Our expert team aims to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results by creating personalized plans for each patient.

Everyone is different. Surgery process and procedures may vary depending on your situation.

What is Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is a comprehensive surgical procedure performed to eliminate signs of aging in the face and neck area. Using the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) technique, deep tissues and skin are repositioned.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Facelift surgery is suitable for individuals over 40 years of age who have significant sagging and wrinkles in the face and neck area and are in good general health. Ideal candidates are those with realistic expectations and non-smokers.
