Face Lift: Turning Back the Clock

Modern facelift techniques have evolved significantly, offering patients natural-looking rejuvenation with less downtime than ever before. Gone are the days of the 'windswept' look — today's facelifts focus on restoring natural facial contours and volume.

Prof. Dr. Nazım Durak employs advanced deep-plane facelift techniques that address the underlying muscle and tissue layers, not just the skin. This approach provides longer-lasting results and a more natural appearance because it repositions the deeper structures of the face.

The procedure typically takes 3-5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Most patients experience moderate swelling and bruising that subsides within 2-3 weeks. Incisions are carefully placed along natural skin creases and hairlines to minimize visible scarring.

Ideal candidates for a facelift are typically in their 40s to 70s and experience sagging in the mid-face, deep creases, jowls, or loose skin along the neck. Dr. Durak often combines facelifts with complementary procedures such as neck lifts or eyelid surgery for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
