Face Lift Surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a transformative procedure designed to address the signs of aging on the face and neck. Typically performed under general anesthesia, this surgery involves repositioning facial tissues, tightening the skin, and addressing muscle laxity to reduce wrinkles and sagging. The procedure generally lasts around 2 hours, aiming to provide a natural and refreshed appearance with minimal scarring.

This surgery is particularly effective for addressing concerns such as loose or sagging skin, deep folds, and jowls that contribute to an aged or tired look. The primary goal is to enhance both the aesthetic appearance and self-confidence of the patient by restoring a more youthful and lifted facial contour.

Approx. Hospitalization Period: 1 Night, Total stay in Turkey: 6 nights.
