Quote of Dr. Handan Şimşek Turan
A total face-neck lift is a comprehensive cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the entire facial and neck area. This type of lift addresses signs of aging throughout the face and neck, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Key Aspects of a Total Face-Neck Lift
Procedure Overview:
- Face Lift: Targets the entire face, including the forehead, cheeks, and jawline. It typically involves lifting and tightening the underlying facial tissues, removing excess skin, and smoothing out wrinkles and folds.
- Neck Lift: Focuses on the neck area to address sagging skin, vertical bands, and excess fat. It often includes tightening the muscles and removing excess skin for a more defined neckline.
Techniques Used:
- Surgeons may use various techniques, including traditional surgical methods with larger incisions or minimally invasive methods like endoscopic lifts. The choice of technique depends on the individual’s anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the surgeon’s expertise.
Recovery:
- Recovery time can vary, but patients generally experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few weeks. Most people can return to their normal activities within a couple of weeks, although complete healing and final results may take several months.
Results:
- A total face-neck lift can provide a dramatic improvement in appearance, creating a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look. The results are typically natural-looking, aiming to restore a youthful contour without an overly tight or artificial appearance.
Considerations:
- As with any major surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications, including infection, scarring, and anesthesia-related issues. It’s important to discuss these with your surgeon and weigh the benefits and risks before proceeding.
A total face-neck lift is a significant investment in both time and resources, but it can offer substantial improvements in appearance and self-confidence for those seeking a comprehensive rejuvenation.

A facelift is more technically known as Face lift, one of the popular cosmetic surgeries that reduce the effects of aging in wrinkle and skin sag. Generally, in the surgery of a facelift, a surgeon removes extra facial skin and tightens the skin on each side of the face through the incisions behind the ears. Commonly, surgeons are doing a facelift along with a neck lift, and they may combine another procedure along with a facelift: eyelid surgery.
Whereas different techniques are applied and individual requirements differ, the length of the surgery generally ranges from 2 to 5 hours.
This will vary from person to person, but in the initial days, one may have swelling and bruising. One should be advised to limit activities until recovery and should follow recommendations made by one's doctor.
The age factor is mainly 45 and above for the classical facelift surgeries, though the younger ones may be more suitable for endoscopic operations. This technique is only advisable for people with sagging skin and wrinkles on their skin. Yet, one needs to remember that not every person is suitable for undergoing the operation.
Facelift surgeries are solely performed by plastic surgeons in a hospital and usually under general anesthesia. The size of the incision to be made depends on the type of facelift to be performed: a mini facelift, endoscopic, or classic facelift. Following the incision, the surgeons proceed to eliminate excess skin and enhance facial tightness by lifting and securing the skin. The incisions are then closed using either sutures or specialized skin adhesives. Post-surgery, a hospital stay of two days is customary. Throughout this recovery period, a drainage tube is usually inserted under the skin to collect blood and fluids. The removal of this tube takes place before the patient is discharged from the hospital.
Antibiotics normally continue for at least five days following a facelift. Sutures are frequently removed within ten days. Over this period, one has to make use of some special wound creams recommended by the doctor. Post facelift surgery, common experiences include bruising, swelling, tightness, and numbness. The sensations of tightness and numbness are expected to diminish within a week, while bruising and swelling may persist for up to a month.
The aging process is continuous, whereas the facelift is a surgical interference. The results are not permanent; it depends upon your dedication to good health.
In a facelift, incisions are made behind the ears and placed carefully inside the natural folds to hide them as much as possible. After surgery, these incisions will barely be visible. With good wound care and a good healing process, scarring from the latter might be at a minimum and sometimes barely visible, adding to a cosmetically acceptable result.
Generally patients needs to stay 1 week to 10 days in Turkey.
