Dr. Cem Berkay Sinacı Surgeon

Video Overview

This video follows a patient from San Diego who traveled to Turkey for facial rejuvenation surgery, presenting with concerns such as jawline asymmetry, early jowling, and loss of midface volume. During consultation with Dr. Jim, a surgical plan was discussed including a deep plane facelift, upper blepharoplasty, chin implant, and facial fat transfer. The procedure also involved fat harvesting from the inner thighs and detailed planning of incision placement along the hairline and around the ears. The video further covers early postoperative recovery, including swelling, dizziness, and gradual daily changes during healing.

Key Takeaways

  • A deep plane facelift works on deeper facial structures, not only skin tightening.
