Face Lift
A personalised face lift that naturally refreshes your facial contours, focused on softening the signs of ageing while preserving the character of your expression.
What is a Face Lift?
A face lift is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce sagging, deepening lines and the loss of facial contours that occur as skin elasticity decreases and tissues descend over time. The goal is a refreshed, less tired and naturally youthful appearance.
Op. Dr. Emre Yılmazer evaluates each patient's facial anatomy, skin character and tissue support together, and selects the most appropriate technique among methods such as SMAS, deep plane or Mini lift. The aim is not a pulled but a refreshed look.
Who is it Suitable For?
A face lift is a personalised procedure. A consultation may be planned in the following situations.
- Those who notice sagging in the mid-face, jawline or neck
- Those troubled by deepening nasolabial folds or marionette lines
- Those who feel they have a tired or hollowed expression
- Adults whose skin quality and general health are suitable for surgery
- Individuals with realistic expectations who prioritise a natural outcome
- Those whose tobacco use is under control and who can adhere to the recovery process
Important note: Each patient presents with a different anatomy, skin structure and set of expectations. The procedure to be performed, the technique to be applied and the results can only be clarified after an in-person medical assessment.
