What is Face and Neck Lifting?
Face and neck lifting, medically referred to as rhytidectomy, is a transformative surgical procedure aimed at reducing signs of aging by tightening sagging skin, reshaping facial contours, and smoothing wrinkles. This procedure rejuvenates the face and neck, restoring a youthful, natural appearance.
Turkey is renowned for its exceptional healthcare standards, experienced surgeons, and competitive pricing, making it a top destination for face and neck lifting procedures.
Types of Face and Neck Lifting
Traditional Face and Neck Lift
Focuses on addressing deep wrinkles, sagging cheeks, and jowls by lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues.
Mini Face Lift
A minimally invasive option targeting the lower face and jawline for subtle yet noticeable improvements.
SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) Lift
A technique that tightens both the skin and deeper muscle layers for natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Deep Plane Face Lift
A cutting-edge approach that releases and repositions deep facial tissues, particularly in the mid-face, nasolabial folds, and jowls. This technique provides dramatic and longlasting rejuvenation while preserving a natural appearance.
Neck Lift
Specifically targets the neck area, addressing loose skin, vertical bands, and excess fat for a firmer, smoother profile.
Non-Surgical
Face and Neck Lifting
Options such as thread lifts, dermal fillers, or Ultherapy are available for patients seeking non-invasive enhancements.
Before the procedure
• Initial Consultation: A detailed discussion with your surgeon to understand your goals
and assess your facial and neck anatomy.
• Medical Evaluation: Comprehensive health assessments, including lab tests, to ensure you’re fit for surgery.
• Customised Plan: Your surgeon will create a plan tailored to your specific needs, often supported by imaging to visualise potential results.
• Pre-Operative Guidelines: Avoid smoking, alcohol, and certain medications before
surgery, as advised by your healthcare team.
The procedure
Face and neck lifting is performed under general anaesthesia and typically lasts 2–5 hours, depending on the complexity. For techniques like the Deep Plane Face Lift, incisions are placed discreetly along the hairline, ears, and sometimes under the chin. The surgeon repositions deep tissues, tightens muscles, and removes excess skin to achieve youthful contours.
After the procedure
• Immediate Recovery: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and usually
subside within a few weeks.
• Bandages and Drains: Applied to reduce swelling and prevent fluid build-up; these are removed within a few days.
• Post-Surgical Care: Follow your surgeon’s care plan, including medications, keeping
incisions clean, and avoiding strenuous activities.
• Results Timeline: Initial improvements are visible after a few weeks, with full results
appearing within 2–4 months as the skin settles.
Possible complications
(Minimised with expert care)
• Swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness.
• Minor scarring, typically well-concealed along natural lines.
• Rare risks, such as infection, delayed healing, or skin irregularities, are carefully managed with post-operative care.
• Slight asymmetry, which often resolves as healing progresses.
