Facelift Surgery in Turkey – Rejuvenate Your Look with Dr. Baran Kul
Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a highly effective facial rejuvenation procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin, smooths deep wrinkles, and restores youthful contours to the face and jawline. It addresses visible signs of aging caused by gravity, loss of skin elasticity, and volume depletion. This procedure is ideal for individuals who want to reduce sagging in the cheeks, jowls, and neck while maintaining a natural, refreshed appearance. Unlike temporary treatments, a facelift offers long-lasting results and a noticeable yet subtle transformation. With Dr. Baran Kul’s meticulous technique and aesthetic precision, patients achieve results that enhance facial harmony without an overdone or “pulled” look. Facelift surgery is often combined with eyelid surgery, neck lift, or fat grafting for a complete facial rejuvenation.

What is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure that tightens and lifts sagging facial tissues to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. It targets signs of aging such as deep wrinkles, loose skin, jowls, and loss of jawline definition.
The goal is to smooth the skin, redefine facial contours, and create a natural, rested look — not to drastically change one’s appearance.
Who is a Facelift for?
Facelift surgery may be suitable for:
– Individuals with sagging skin around the cheeks, jawline, or neck
– People bothered by deep facial folds or jowls
– Patients seeking long-term facial rejuvenation beyond non-surgical treatments
– Those in good general health with realistic expectations
– Both women and men looking to reverse visible signs of aging
It is a rejuvenating and lifting procedure, not a method for wrinkle removal alone or volume replacement (which may require fat grafting).
How is the Procedure Performed?
Facelift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or sedation. The surgeon makes incisions around the ears, possibly extending to the hairline or under the chin depending on the technique.
Through these incisions, deeper tissues and muscles are lifted, excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a firmer, smoother contour.
The procedure usually takes 2 to 4 hours, and patients often return home the same day or stay one night in the clinic. Light activities can resume after 1 week, depending on the individual’s recovery speed.

These real before & after results highlight not only visible rejuvenation, but also renewed self-confidence and harmony between facial features. Each procedure is carefully tailored to the individual’s unique facial structure, delivering natural-looking results that refresh and restore — without compromising expression or identity.
What is the Recovery Like?
– Most patients can return to light daily activities within 7 to 10 days
– Swelling and bruising around the cheeks, jawline, and neck are common during the first 1–2 weeks
– Cold compress and elevation of the head help reduce swelling
– Strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for 3 to 4 weeks
– Stitches are usually removed within 5 to 7 days, and patients are advised to sleep with their head elevated
Discomfort is generally mild to moderate and is well-managed with prescribed medications. Most patients feel significantly better after the first week.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes — facelift results are long-lasting, typically 7 to 10 years or more.
While aging continues naturally, the tightened and repositioned facial tissues maintain a more youthful appearance for many years.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and good skincare can help prolong your results.
Are There Any Risks?
As with any surgical procedure, facelift surgery carries some potential risks, including:
– Infection
– Hematoma (blood collection under the skin)
– Nerve injury (usually temporary)
– Scarring
– Skin irregularities or asymmetry
Choosing a highly skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Baran Kul significantly minimizes these risks and ensures a safe, natural, and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
