Facelift in Turkey: Patient Experience, Recovery and Early Results
Publication: · Verified:
Video Overview
This video follows a patient from Ukraine living in Poland who traveled to Turkey for facial rejuvenation. Her concerns included a double chin, early jowls, and mild midface sagging. During consultation, the surgeon advised against repeat upper blepharoplasty and suggested a temporal lift to improve brow position and eye openness.
The plan included a deep plane facelift (rhytidectomy), neck work with platysmaplasty, and submental fat removal to refine the jawline and neck. The video outlines key decisions, early recovery, and first visible changes.
Key Takeaways
- A facelift can improve jowls, jawline definition, and neck laxity.
- A deep plane facelift works with deeper tissues, not just skin.
- A temporal lift can improve the upper face and eye area.
- Procedure choice depends on anatomy, skin laxity, and prior surgery.
- Early results appear within days; final outcomes develop over weeks to months.

Частые вопросы об этой процедуре
What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions deeper facial structures (SMAS layer) rather than only tightening the skin. It is one of several facelift approaches.
What Is a Temporal Lift?
A temporal lift focuses on the outer brow and upper face. It can help create a more open eye appearance when brow position is the main factor.
What Is Recovery Like?
Early recovery may include swelling, bruising, and tightness. Most patients see improvement within the first week, while full healing takes longer.
Do You Need Compression After Surgery?
Compression garments are commonly recommended after facelift and neck procedures. Duration varies by surgeon and technique.
How Do You Choose a Surgeon?
Look for a qualified plastic or facial plastic surgeon, review credentials, and discuss goals during consultation. Technique selection should be individualized.
