Facelift in Turkey: common questions
How much is a facelift in Turkey?
How much a facelift in Turkey costs depends on the areas treated: face, neck, eyelids or brow. With Dr. Keklik the package covers surgery, hospital night, hotel and transfers. Send your photos on WhatsApp for a personal price.
What is a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift lifts the deeper layer of the face (the SMAS) together with the cheek fat, rather than tightening the skin alone. The result looks more natural and tends to last longer.
How long should I stay in Turkey after a facelift?
Plan for about 10 nights so your stitches can be removed and Dr. Keklik can check your healing before you fly.
Can I combine a facelift with eyelid surgery?
Yes. Eyelid surgery, a brow lift and fat transfer are often done in the same operation to keep the face in balance.
How long does a facelift last?
A deep plane face and neck lift typically lasts around 10 years, though your face continues to age naturally.
When will the swelling go down?
Most bruising fades within 2 weeks. You will look presentable after 3 to 4 weeks, and the result settles over 3 to 6 months.
