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.
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.

• 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.
