Dr. Cem Berkay SINACI PLASTIC SURGERY, Leading expert
Video Overview
This video follows a patient who came to Turkey from Italy for facial rejuvenation surgery. It starts with her consultation, where she discusses her jowls, double chin, malar bags and tired-looking face with her surgeon. Her treatment included a deep plane facelift and neck lift, as well as lower blepharoplasty, lip lift and fat injections. The video also shows her first days after surgery and her check-up less than a week later. The surgical details are explained by the surgeon, while the recovery part comes from the patient herself.
Key Takeaways
- A deep plane facelift works with the deeper tissues of the face and is one of the techniques used in facelift surgery.
- A facelift can be combined with a neck lift, lower blepharoplasty, lip lift or fat injections when these procedures are suitable for the patient.
- Swelling and bruising are common during the first days after facelift surgery, although recovery is different for each person.
- The face can still be quite swollen during the first week, so early postoperative photos do not show the final result.
Video Highlights
Частые вопросы об этой процедуре
What Can a Facelift Help With?
A facelift is used to treat signs of aging in the lower face and, when needed, the neck. It can improve jowls, loose facial tissues and changes along the jawline. Other concerns may need a different procedure or an additional treatment.
What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A deep plane facelift is a facelift technique that works with the deeper layers of facial tissue rather than simply pulling the skin. The surgeon decides which facelift technique is suitable after looking at the patient’s anatomy, skin and tissue laxity, and desired changes. In the video, the surgeon used a deep plane facelift as part of the patient’s treatment.
Can You Have a Neck Lift With a Facelift?
Yes. A facelift and neck lift can be performed together when both the lower face and neck need treatment. This combination can address jowls, the jawline and loose tissue in the neck. The need for a neck lift is decided during the consultation.
Can a Facelift Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes. Some patients have a facelift together with other facial procedures. These may include lower blepharoplasty, lip lift or fat injections. In this video, the patient had all of these procedures as part of her treatment. Another patient may need a different combination.
What Is Facelift Recovery Like?
The first days after a facelift usually involve some swelling and bruising. The face can also feel tight, and normal activities may be limited at first. In this case, the patient stayed at the clinic for the first two days and then continued her recovery at a hotel in Turkey. She noticed a lot of swelling around her eyes during the first 24 hours, which gradually went down over the next few days.
Is Facelift in Turkey Right for You?
A facelift treatment plan is different for each patient. During a consultation, the surgeon looks at the face and neck, skin and tissue changes, medical history and the patient’s expectations. If you are considering a facelift in Turkey, the consultation is the point where you can discuss your concerns and find out which procedures may be suitable for you.
Is the Result in the Video the Final Facelift Result?
No. The check-up in the video takes place less than a week after surgery. There is still visible swelling, and there are temporary marks from the external sutures used during the first days. These early changes are part of the recovery and do not represent the final healed result
