Over time, your face may no longer reflect the energy and vitality you feel inside. Deep wrinkles, sagging skin, and a loss of firmness in the neck or facial contours are natural signs of aging, but they can sometimes affect your self-confidence.

More and more patients choose to have a facelift in Turkey, drawn by the quality of care, the expertise of aesthetic surgeons, and personalized support. Depending on how much sagging is involved, several techniques are available, from a mini-facelift for lighter sagging to a mid-facelift that targets the cheeks and facial oval more specifically. Turquie Santé helps you choose the technique and surgeon suited to your situation, so you can work toward a rested appearance that feels like you.

What is a facelift?

A facelift, also known as a cervico-facial lift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to give the face a younger, fresher and naturally rested appearance.

The aim is not to “change the face”, but to refresh features, redefine the oval, smooth wrinkles and reduce sagging in the cheeks, lower face and neck. The result is a natural healthy-glow effect, as if you'd just come back from vacation, without your friends and family suspecting a thing.

In Turkey, the cervico-facial lift is one of the most widely performed aesthetic procedures, with a very high satisfaction rate. Thanks to the expertise of our surgeons and modern, less invasive techniques, it is now possible to gain up to 10 years of appearance, while limiting post-operative effects and social exclusion.

Before taking the plunge, a consultation with a specialist is essential to assess your needs and define the treatment best suited to your face.

Are you wondering whether a facelift could help you regain a more youthful, dynamic appearance? Our experts in Turkey are at your disposal for a personalized assessment. Discover your options and get answers to all your questions.

With Turquie Santé, give your face the radiance it deserves, with complete confidence.

Preoperative phase of a facelift in Turkey

Before planning a cervico-facial facelift in Turkey, every patient deserves to be well-informed, reassured, and supported. That's why we offer you a free, no-obligation video consultation to answer all your questions and assess your eligibility.

Our aesthetic surgeons in Turkey always prioritize a personalized approach. If you are under 45-50 years old, they may guide you towards non-invasive and preventive techniques that can delay the need for surgery while visibly improving the signs of aging.

During the preoperative consultation, the surgeon will take the time to discuss realistic and achievable results, based on your morphology, skin quality, and expectations. They will provide clear answers to any questions you may have regarding the procedure, recovery, results, and potential risks.

A complete medical assessment, including a coagulation test, will be required to ensure there are no contraindications. If the facelift requires general anesthesia or sedation, a consultation with the anesthesiologist is mandatory and should take place at least 48 hours before the procedure.

To ensure everything goes smoothly, there are a few simple steps to follow. You will be asked to wash your hair and thoroughly remove your makeup the evening before and the morning of the procedure. On the day of surgery, remember to come fasting: do not eat anything for the 6 hours prior to the operation, and avoid drinking liquids for the 3 hours before your arrival. These precautions are essential to guarantee your safety during anesthesia.

Procedure for facelift surgery in Turkey

A facelift in Turkey is performed under general anesthesia, with an overnight stay in the hospital to allow you to recover peacefully, under medical supervision.

Surgical Process

During the procedure, discreet incisions are made behind the hairline and around the ears. Depending on the extent of sagging to be corrected, these incisions may be slightly extended. The surgeon then accesses the deep structures of the face to remove excess skin, reposition muscles and fat, and carefully reshape the facial contours.

The incision typically starts in front of the ear, passes through the inner part of the ear, and extends behind the earlobe. This approach minimizes scars, which become barely visible once healing is complete.

Why choose a cervico-facial facelift in Turkey?

In Turkey, our surgeons use modern and advanced techniques to provide you with a natural, less "pulled" facelift, with long-lasting results. You not only benefit from high-level expertise but also from a refined and harmonious outcome that respects your features while restoring youth and freshness.

Contact us today for a free video consultation with our specialists. We will guide you through the entire process to ensure you feel calm and confident at every step.

Is a facelift suitable for men?

Long seen as the preserve of women, cosmetic surgery on the face is now increasingly aimed at men. Although the first techniques were developed at a time when the majority of patients were women, reality has changed. Men, too, want to maintain a toned, assertive and natural-looking face as they age.

In Turkey, techniques have evolved to adapt to masculine features, with a more personalized approach.

Certain procedures, such as the cervico-facial lift, can be performed on men with specific adjustments. The expectations and structure of the male face are different. A man will often seek to redefine his jawline, firm up his neck or correct sagging without erasing the character traits of his face. For women, it's usually sagging cheeks or nasolabial folds that motivate surgery.

What counts is a tailor-made approach that respects male harmony and identity.

Our surgeons in Turkey will be happy to provide you with transparent advice. Take advantage of a free initial video consultation to ask your questions and discover the solutions best suited to your face and your goals.

Possible side effects

After a facelift, it's common to notice swelling, bruising or a feeling of tightness in the face and neck. These are normal, temporary reactions that gradually disappear over the course of a few days. Solutions such as cold compresses and anti-inflammatory drugs can be prescribed to speed up the reduction of inflammation.

As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection or haematoma formation. These complications, although rare, can be minimized by meticulous monitoring before and after the operation. In Turkey, we require a pre-operative blood test to detect any abnormalities and ensure that you are in the best possible health before the operation.

A convalescence period of one to two weeks is often necessary to rest and give the face time to recover.

In rare cases, there may be temporary sensitivity problems or more visible scars. Although this can be a cause for concern, these effects are generally recoverable with specialized care.

Results & patient reviews

Our surgeons use modern, precise and gentle techniques to achieve a natural result, without a frozen effect, with discreet, even invisible scars.

When you choose to undergo a facelift in Turkey with our specialists, you benefit from the highest level of medical supervision, renowned for its harmonious, long-lasting results. Our patients' testimonials are the best proof of this: they praise the quality of the care, the smoothness of the recovery and, above all, the new-found confidence.

Still not sure? Talk to one of our experts during a free initial teleconsultation. We're here to listen, reassure and support you every step of the way.

HIFU facelift: A non-surgical alternative

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) lifting is an innovative, non-invasive solution to combat the signs of aging. This gentle treatment works deeply to naturally stimulate collagen production, giving your skin a smoother, firmer, and more elastic appearance.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is used to deliver targeted thermal energy to the subcutaneous tissue. This helps firm the skin and reduce sagging by improving skin texture.

HIFU lifting is an excellent option for those looking to treat early signs of aging without incisions or recovery time. However, if you have more pronounced skin sagging, surgical lifting may provide more long-lasting and dramatic results.

Talk to our aesthetic experts in Turkey to learn more about the method that best suits your situation.

Facelift FAQ in Turkey

Is a facelift effective in removing my double chin?

A facelift can help improve the appearance of a double chin by lifting and tightening sagging skin on the lower face and neck. However, if your double chin is mainly due to excess fat rather than skin laxity, liposuction alone might be more effective. For optimal results addressing fat deposits, your surgeon may recommend combining a facelift with neck liposuction or a dedicated neck lift. The best option is to schedule a consultation with one of our qualified plastic surgeons to assess your specific concerns.

Will I have visible scars after the facelift?

Facelift scars are typically minimal, discreet, and well-hidden in natural skin folds. With proper care and an experienced, board-certified surgeon, they are rarely noticeable. To support optimal healing, follow all post-operative instructions, including scar care (silicone gel, gentle massage, sun protection). Avoid smoking and stay well hydrated.

Could there be complications following a facelift?

Like all surgical procedures, facelifts carry some inherent risks. However, when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, serious complications are uncommon. Common side effects, such as swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness, are generally mild and resolve naturally. Rarely, issues like delayed healing or minor asymmetry may arise, but these can typically be managed with proper medical care. Selecting a skilled surgeon is crucial to minimizing these risks and ensuring optimal outcomes.

How long do the results of a facelift last?

A facelift's duration depends on the surgical technique used and individual factors such as skin quality, age, and lifestyle. Results generally last between 7 and 15 years, with deep plane and standard facelifts typically providing longer-lasting outcomes than mini or skin-only procedures. Although it cannot stop aging, a facelift effectively resets the clock, allowing you to look younger than your actual age for many years. To prolong results, use daily sun protection, maintain a stable weight, and follow a suitable skincare routine with retinoids, antioxidants, and moisturizers.

What is the best age for a facelift?

The best time for a facelift is determined by the presence of visible signs of aging—such as sagging skin, jowls, loose neck skin, and deep folds—rather than age alone. While many patients choose surgery between ages 40 and 60 when these signs typically become noticeable, there is no definitive 'ideal' age. If you observe significant facial laxity, sagging contours, or a less-defined jawline and are in good overall health, you may be a suitable candidate regardless of your age. A consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon is the best way to determine if surgery is right for you at this time in your life.
