THE PROCEDURE
What is SMAS facelift?
A SMAS facelift lifts and repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). The achievable change, expression, symmetry, scars and longevity depend on anatomy, technique and healing.
At Revitalize in Turkey, the written plan should identify the named contracted surgeon and facility, proposed technique, alternatives, limits, risks, costs, travel support and follow-up responsibilities.
Named Contracted Plastic Surgeons
The written proposal identifies the named surgeon and facility so registration, role and relevant experience can be checked.

The individual written package states the support contacts, availability and scope during your stay.
All Inclusive Packages
Your individual written quotation lists the treatment, support, accommodation and transfers included, together with exclusions and additional costs.
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
Photographs may support preliminary review but do not establish suitability. The named surgeon should assess health, medicines, smoking, anatomy and goals, and discuss no treatment or alternatives where appropriate.
RECOVERY
SMAS facelift recovery timeline
Early recovery: Pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, tightness, numbness and reduced movement can occur. Follow individual instructions for medicines, dressings, drains, wound care and warning signs.
Travel and activity: Return to work, exercise and permission to fly are individual. Do not rely on a generic timetable.
Longer recovery: Swelling, scars, sensation and contour may change for months. Asymmetry, irregularity or need for further treatment can remain.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
SMAS facelift risks include pain, bleeding, haematoma, infection, seroma, scarring, hair loss, skin or tissue injury, delayed healing, asymmetry, altered sensation, nerve injury, anaesthetic complications, blood clots and revision surgery.
Assessment and risk-reduction measures cannot eliminate complications. The named surgeon should explain individual risk, urgent symptoms, emergency arrangements, follow-up and responsibility for additional care or costs.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a SMAS facelift?
A SMAS facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), restoring youthful contours to the cheeks, jawline, and lower face while maintaining a natural appearance.
How is a SMAS facelift different from a deep plane facelift?
A SMAS facelift lifts and tightens the SMAS layer without fully releasing the deeper facial ligaments. A deep plane facelift goes deeper, allowing greater repositioning of the mid-face tissues and often providing more comprehensive rejuvenation for advanced ageing.
Who may be considered for a SMAS facelift?
Suitability requires individual assessment of health, medicines, smoking, anatomy, skin quality and goals. Photographs alone are not enough.
How long does the procedure take?
A SMAS facelift typically takes 3–5 hours, depending on whether it is combined with other facial procedures.
Can a SMAS facelift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It is commonly combined with a neck lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, facial fat grafting, or lip lift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How long is recovery?
Recovery, swelling, return to activity and permission to fly vary. Follow the named surgeon’s individual plan rather than a fixed timetable.
What appearance can I expect?
The intended change and its limits should be discussed with the named surgeon. No particular appearance, symmetry or absence of a “pulled” look can be guaranteed.
How long can results last?
Ageing, healing, lifestyle and weight change continue. No duration or contour can be guaranteed.
Will there be visible scars?
Incision placement and scar visibility vary. Scars can widen, thicken, pigment or remain visible and should be discussed before consent.
Is a SMAS facelift right for me?
The named surgeon should compare SMAS, deep-plane, other surgical or non-surgical options, including no treatment, based on individual anatomy, risk and goals.
