THE PROCEDURE
What is a facelift?
A facelift (rhytidectomy) repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue and removes excess skin to soften deep folds and restore definition along the jaw and neck.
Unlike a simple skin tightening, a modern facelift works on the SMAS layer — the muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin. By lifting and securing this layer, surgeons achieve a result that looks rested and natural rather than pulled. The technique can address midface sagging, jowls, deep nasolabial folds and a loose neckline in a single operation.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every facelift is planned around your individual anatomy and goals, combining surgical precision with the value and hospitality that make Turkey a leading destination for aesthetic surgery.

SUITABILITY
Are you a candidate for facelift?
A facelift may be right for you if you:
- Notice sagging in the mid- and lower face, jowls along the jawline, or loose skin on the neck
- Are in good general health and a non-smoker, or able to stop before surgery
- Have realistic expectations about a natural, refreshed result
- Want a longer-lasting solution than non-surgical treatments can offer
Candidacy is always confirmed after a medical review of your history, photos and goals. Where a full facelift isn’t needed, we’ll honestly recommend a less invasive option.

RECOVERY
Facelift recovery timeline
Days 1–3: Rest with the head elevated. Swelling and bruising peak; dressings and any drains are checked by our nursing team.
Days 4–10: Sutures are removed in stages. Most patients feel comfortable enough to fly home after 5-7 days, with surgeon approval.
Weeks 2–3: The majority of visible bruising and swelling settles; many patients return to light social activity.
Months 1–6: Residual tightness softens and incision lines continue to fade as the final, natural result emerges.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
A facelift is a well-established procedure, but like any surgery it carries risks, which we discuss openly during your consultation. These can include temporary swelling and bruising, numbness, and — rarely — bleeding, infection or changes in skin sensation.
We minimise risk by performing full pre-operative health screening, and providing structured aftercare with 24/7 access to our medical team during your stay. Your surgeon will explain exactly how your individual risk profile is managed.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
How long does a facelift last?
A Rhytidectomy typically lasts 10–15 years, depending on the technique used, your skin quality, and lifestyle factors.
When can I fly after a facelift?
Most patients are fit to fly 5–7 days after surgery, once initial recovery checks are completed.
Is a facelift painful?
Discomfort is usually mild to moderate and well-managed with prescribed medication.
When will I look “normal” again?
You will look socially presentable within 10–14 days, with final results improving over several weeks.
Will I have visible scars?
Scars are well hidden around the hairline and ears and typically fade significantly over time.
What does a facelift actually do?
A facelift lifts and repositions the deeper facial tissues while removing excess skin. It improves sagging, smooths deep folds, and restores a more youthful contour to the face and neck.
How do I know which facelift type is right for me?
The best technique depends on your level of skin laxity, facial structure, and expectations. During your consultation, our specialists will recommend the most suitable option, whether it’s a mini facelift, SMAS, or deep plane approach.
What is the difference between a facelift and a thread lift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure offering long-lasting and more dramatic results, while a thread lift is minimally invasive with temporary and subtle improvements.
Will my results look natural?
Yes. Modern facelift techniques focus on repositioning tissues rather than pulling the skin, ensuring a natural, refreshed appearance rather than an artificial look.
How long does recovery take?
Initial recovery takes around 7–10 days, while swelling continues to improve over several weeks. Most patients return to normal routines within 2 weeks.
What should I avoid after surgery?
You should avoid:
Strenuous activity for at least 2–3 weeks
Smoking and alcohol during early recovery
Direct sun exposure
Sleeping on your side
When can I wash my face and hair?
You can typically wash your hair and face after a few days, following your surgeon’s specific instructions.
When can I return to work?
Most patients return to work within 10–14 days, depending on the nature of their job and recovery progress.
Is facelift surgery safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced surgeon in a proper medical setting, facelift surgery is considered safe. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, but these are minimized with proper planning and aftercare.
What are the possible risks?
Potential risks may include:
Swelling and bruising
Temporary numbness
Infection (rare)
Scarring
All risks are thoroughly discussed before your procedure.
Are facelift results permanent?
While a facelift provides long-lasting results, it does not stop the natural aging process. However, you will always look younger than if you had not had the procedure.
When will I see the final results?
You will notice improvements immediately, but final results appear after several weeks to a few months as swelling fully subsides.
Can I combine a facelift with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine a facelift with procedures such as:
Neck lift
Temporal lift
Eyelid surgery
Fat transfer
This allows for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
What is included in the package?
Your package typically includes accommodation, transfers, aftercare support, and essential medical services—ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience.
Can I travel alone?
Yes, many patients travel alone. However, you will have full support from our team, including chaperone assistance and 24/7 aftercare.
Can I bring a companion?
Absolutely. Your companion can stay with you and enjoy a comfortable environment while you recover.
What happens after I return home?
You will receive detailed aftercare instructions, and our team remains available for ongoing remote support whenever you need it.
