Facelift surgery is one of the most effective methods of making sagging and wrinkled facial skin return to its youthful appearance. The treatment is permanent and is suitable for different areas of the face.
Turkey, as one of the global leaders in cosmetic surgeries, can offer some of the best face lift procedures in the world. The cost of facelifts in Turkey is substantially more affordable than in most other countries.

Facelift Surgery in Turkey
With age, the skin of the face can often lose firmness and sag, which is especially visible in the areas of the neck and jaws but can also appear on the upper parts of the patient’s face. While this is treatable to a certain extent with topical creams and other cosmetics, the skin of the face eventually loses enough of its former fitness to form deep wrinkles and flaps. At this point, the only way to restore its smoothness and youthful appearance is through a face lift surgery. Several facelift types exist and are used in different cases, as issues can appear in different parts of patients’ faces.
All types of face lift surgeries target the lower parts of the face, while some can help to remove wrinkles from the patient’s cheeks. No facelift type can help to remove wrinkles from the forehead. If a patient wants to remove wrinkles from all parts of their face, a face lift must be combined with other surgeries.

Moustache Transplantation in Turkey
Turkey’s cosmetic surgeries, including face lifts, have much more affordable prices than in most other countries, thus, they won’t set you back. Nevertheless, the quality of Tukey’s plastic surgery clinics is exceptional.
This is possible due to several economic factors. Turkey’s healthcare providers receive significant subsidies from the government to make their prices more competitive on the world market. Medical tourism is important for the country as an income source and means of growing international prestige. The other factor is external. Turkey’s living costs are lower than in Western Europe and North America, so the prices of Turkish services are proportionally lower, too. All other factors being equal, treatment in Turkey will always be less expensive thanks to this inherent difference in living costs.
As a result, a patient can get a full face lift at Bookmedi for £3.500. Other, less invasive types of facelifts are even less expensive.

How is Facelift Surgery performed?
Face lift surgeries are performed slightly differently depending on their type, but they all share a common process. Face lifts are performed under general anaesthesia, meaning the patient is unconscious during the surgery.
After applying the anaesthesia, the doctor makes incisions behind the patient’s ears. Excess tissues are removed through these incisions, and the skin of the face is tightened. This process smoothes out the wrinkles and removes deep grooves in the target area of the facelift. After the desired level of skin elasticity is achieved, the doctor closes the incisions with stitches so they are as inconspicuous as possible.
Face Lift Surgery Types in Turkey
There are many different types of face lift procedures, but the main three types can be defined by their scale. They are mini-, mid- and full facelifts. It may seem that it is a no-brainer to choose one, but the correct type will be determined by the doctor.
Mini facelift surgery
A mini facelift is the least invasive type of face lift surgery. The target area of this procedure is the lower region of the patient’s face and the upper part of the neck. The incision made for this surgery starts behind the ear and continues for a few centimetres along the hairline on the side of the head. The scar formed after this surgery is small and easily concealed with hair.
Mid-facelift surgery
Mid-facelift is similar to a mini face lift but targets the patient’s cheek area as well. For this reason, it is also known as a cheek lift. The incision begins the same way as one for the mini face lift but also extends forward towards the temples.
Full facelift surgery
The full facelift is the most complete form of face lift surgery. Incisions for this face lift begin at the temple, continue behind the ear, and down the hairline towards the back of the head. This facelift targets the neck, lower face, cheeks and temples areas, providing the fullest possible effect for this type of surgery, as the name implies.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A deep plane facelift is the most complicated and invasive of all facelift types, but its results are more pronounced and long-lasting. This type of facelift is performed similarly to a full facelift procedure but differs in that the doctors tighten not only the patient’s skin of the face but also the underlying muscles.By repositioning both surface and deep layers of the patient’s facial structure, the doctor can address the signs of ageing that are caused by both lacking skin firmness and relaxed facial muscles.
As a result, this type of face lift can achieve effects that are not possible with any other facial surgery. Understandably, this technique requires considerable experience from the surgeon, so it is not possible to perform it at every clinic.

Who are the best candidates for a Face Lift procedure in Turkey
The candidates for facelift procedures should meet several criteria to be eligible for the procedure. Their facial skin should show signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, which are deemed treatable with a face lift by the doctor. Not every sign of ageing can be removed by a face lift, as it can’t target several areas of the face.
The facelift candidate should be in good health, and their skin should be elastic enough for the treatment. Some health conditions can make the skin too firm for a face lift.
The facelift candidate should not have any adverse reactions to anaesthesia, as it is not possible to perform the face lift otherwise. Facelifts can’t be performed under local anaesthesia.
If the patient takes blood-thinning medications or consumes alcohol and nicotine, they should stop at least several weeks before the facelift.
What should be considered after facelift surgery?
After face lift surgery, the patient can feel some aches, as even the mini facelift is rather invasive. The doctor may prescribe pain-relieving medication to alleviate such symptoms.
Immediately after getting the facelift, the patient should rest. The results of a facelift surgery depend on how well the incisions heal in the first several days. The patient should pay attention to keeping their head elevated so that the stitches holding the incisions together are not disturbed.
As alcohol and nicotine interfere with healing and can lead to complications after the face lift, the patient should abstain from consuming them until the incisions heal. The Bookmedi’s doctors will provide the patient with extensive instructions on facelift aftercare so that the patient will follow the proper regimen after they return home. Following their instructions will ensure the best face lift results.
