    Types of Facelift in Turkey

    The different types of facelift procedures address different aesthetic concerns! Depending on your case, you may be more interested in one or the other.
    Our surgeons will inform you about all medical technicalities in a comprehensible language for you to understand the fundamental inside-outs. Needless to say, the last decision is always yours.

    Here are the most common types of facelift in Turkey:
    SMAS Facelift

    The SMAS Facelift focuses on the deeper layer of the face called the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS). By lifting and repositioning this foundational tissue, it provides a more natural and enduring rejuvenation, combating sagging and age-related changes.

    What is a Deep Plane Facelift in Turkey?

    This is the most meticulous and in-depth procedure. During a deep plane facelift, your surgeon will lift and reposition the muscles and tissues to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. This technique allows for more natural-looking results than traditional facelifts.

    What is a Mini facelift?

    Mini Facelift is a less invasive procedure that targets the lower portion of the face, including the jowls and neck. It involves shorter incisions and less tissue repositioning, resulting in a quicker recovery time.

    Extended High SMAS Facelift

    The Extended High SMAS Facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation technique targeting the deeper SMAS layer. By addressing this layer, it offers natural-looking and lasting results, effectively tackling sagging, wrinkles, and jowls for a youthful appearance.

    5 Reasons Why a Deep Plane Facelift Might Have the Best Results

    Only the most experienced and skilled surgeons can perform a deep plane facelift. That means about 10% of plastic surgeons. A deep plane facelift is indeed the most challenging and effective type of facial surgery. At Care in Turkey, we deliver it with success.

    Here are 5 reasons why a deep plane facelift might be the most effective option:

    1. It allows surgeons to reposition deeper facial tissues, including the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system).
    2. By lifting and repositioning the deeper facial tissues, this technique creates an enduring foundation for the skin to rest on, making it the longest-lasting results.
    3. Surgeons can adjust the depth and direction of tissue lifting, tailoring it to address your unique needs. In other words: it is completely customizable.
    4. It addresses all areas of the face, solving sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of volume.
    5. Incisions are made in areas that hide them. This minimizes scarring and allows for the most natural-looking result.
