THE PROCEDURE

What is SMAS facelift?

A SMAS facelift rejuvenates the face by lifting and repositioning the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), restoring youthful contours to the cheeks, jawline, and lower face while maintaining natural facial expressions. It is particularly effective for patients with moderate facial ageing, jowls, and loss of jawline definition.

At Revitalize in Turkey, every SMAS facelift is tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our experienced plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation, combining exceptional surgical expertise with comprehensive support and outstanding value.

SUITABILITY

Are you a candidate for SMAS facelift?

A SMAS facelift may be right for you if you:

  • Have sagging cheeks, jowls, or loss of jawline definition

  • Would like a natural-looking, long-lasting improvement to the lower face

  • Are in good general health, a non-smoker (or able to stop before surgery), and have realistic expectations about the results

  • Want more comprehensive facial rejuvenation than non-surgical treatments can provide

Candidacy is always confirmed following a comprehensive medical assessment of your health, facial anatomy, photographs, and aesthetic goals. If a SMAS facelift is not the most suitable option, we’ll recommend the treatment that best meets your individual needs.

RECOVERY

SMAS facelift recovery timeline

Days 1–3: Rest with your head elevated to help minimise swelling. Mild discomfort, swelling, bruising, and tightness around the face and neck are expected during this period. Cold compresses may be recommended to help reduce swelling.

Days 4–7: Swelling and bruising begin to improve, although the face may still feel tight. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light daily activities and are typically able to fly home after 5–7 days, subject to their surgeon’s approval.

Weeks 2–6: The majority of swelling gradually subsides, revealing a smoother, more defined jawline and youthful facial contours. Most patients return to work and normal daily activities within 2 weeks, while strenuous exercise should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.

Months 3–6: The tissues continue to settle, incision lines gradually soften and fade, and the final results become fully visible, providing long-lasting, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

SAFETY FIRST

Risks & safety

A SMAS facelift is a well-established procedure, but like any operation, it carries potential risks, which we discuss openly during your consultation. These can include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, asymmetry, scarring, delayed wound healing, and—more rarely—bleeding, infection, nerve irritation, skin healing problems, or the need for revision surgery.

We minimise these risks through a comprehensive pre-operative assessment, meticulous surgical planning, advanced surgical techniques, and structured support with 24/7 access to our medical team throughout your stay. Your surgeon will explain your individual risk profile in detail and provide personalised guidance to support a smooth and safe recovery.
