How is Face and Neck Lift Performed in Turkey?
1. Consultation & Treatment Planning
- A detailed consultation with Op. Dr. Murat Benzer is conducted to assess skin laxity, facial structure, and aging concerns.
- The best facelift and/or neck lift technique is selected based on the patient’s needs.
- Pre-operative instructions, including avoiding certain medications and quitting smoking, are provided for optimal healing.
2. Anesthesia & Incision Placement
- The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation for patient comfort.
- Facelift incisions are made along the hairline, around the ears, and sometimes under the chin to ensure minimal scarring.
- Neck lift incisions are placed behind the ears and under the chin to remove excess skin and tighten muscles.
3. Lifting, Tightening & Reshaping
- The skin and deeper facial tissues (SMAS layer) are lifted and repositioned for a youthful contour.
- If needed, excess fat is removed or repositioned, and neck muscles are tightened for a smoother jawline.
- The skin is gently re-draped, ensuring a natural, youthful, and refreshed appearance without an overdone look.
4. Suturing & Recovery
- The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a compression bandage may be applied to support healing.
- Swelling and bruising subside within 2-3 weeks, with full results visible in a few months.
- Patients receive detailed post-operative care instructions, including sleeping with an elevated head, avoiding strenuous activities, and following a skincare routine.
Face and Neck Lift Recovery Process
- First 24-48 Hours – Swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal; cold compresses help reduce discomfort.
- First Week – Stitches may be removed within 5-7 days, and light activities can be resumed.
- 2-3 Weeks – Most swelling subsides, and facial contours start to appear; avoid strenuous activities.
- 4-6 Weeks – Bruising disappears, and the face and neck look more natural and refined.
- 3-6 Months – Full results become visible as healing completes, revealing a youthful, lifted appearance.
How Much is a Face and Neck Lift in Turkey?

- Traditional facelift and neck lift procedures are generally more comprehensive and long-lasting, making them a higher investment.
- Mini facelifts or thread lifts are more affordable but provide less dramatic results.
- Many clinics in Turkey offer all-inclusive packages, covering consultation, surgery, anesthesia, post-operative care, and sometimes accommodation and airport transfers for international patients.
