What are a facelift and neck lift?
A facelift corrects sagging of the lower and mid face by repositioning the deeper tissues. A neck lift addresses loose neck skin and muscle bands. The two are usually planned together so the jawline and neck are rejuvenated in harmony.
Who is a good candidate?
Healthy patients, usually over 40, with descending cheeks, a less defined jawline and neck laxity. Op. Dr. Ensari Yavuz performs a detailed facial analysis and plans only what each patient needs.
Surgery and recovery in Istanbul
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia with incisions hidden around the ear and hairline. Most patients return to social life within 10–14 days. International patients are advised to stay in Istanbul for about 7–10 days.
The key to a natural result
The goal is a rested face that still looks like you — never 'pulled'. Deep-plane techniques, correct lifting vectors and, when needed, fat transfer for volume make this possible.
