Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

Turn back the clock with expert facial rejuvenation in Istanbul

Overview

A facelift (rhytidectomy) addresses the visible signs of ageing in the face and neck — sagging jowls, deepening nasolabial folds, loose neck skin, and loss of facial definition. Turkish plastic surgeons offer both full facelifts and mini facelifts, often combined with neck lifts, brow lifts, or eyelid surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation. Results can take 10–15 years off the face with a natural, non-operated appearance.

Key Benefits

  • Long-lasting results — 7–12 years
  • Addresses multiple signs of ageing simultaneously
  • Natural-looking outcomes when performed by experienced surgeons
  • Can be combined with neck lift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery
  • Turkish surgeons experienced with international patients
  • 60–70% cost saving vs UK

Procedure Options

Full Facelift (SMAS)

Deep-plane technique repositioning the SMAS muscle layer for comprehensive, long-lasting results.

Mini Facelift

Shorter scar technique targeting early-to-moderate laxity — shorter recovery, ideal for younger candidates.

Facelift + Neck Lift

Combined procedure addressing both lower face and neck — the most commonly requested combination.

Liquid Facelift

Non-surgical option using strategic filler and Botox placement to lift and restore volume without surgery.

What to Expect

Surgery takes 3–5 hours under general anaesthesia. Stay in Turkey for 10–14 days. Drains typically removed on day 1–2. Sutures out at days 7–10. Significant bruising and swelling for 2–3 weeks. Presentable in public at 3–4 weeks.
