Facelift surgery is the most enduring method of facial rejuvenation available — and Turkey has become one of the world's most sought-after destinations for this procedure. Gravity, ageing, weight fluctuations, and sun exposure cause the face to look significantly older. Facelift surgery corrects these changes — restoring the natural, more youthful appearance of 5–10 years ago. Prof. Dr. Cengiz Eser performs personalized facelift surgery in Adana, Turkey, with over 20 years of academic and surgical expertise.
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift corrects skin laxity, tissue descent, and volume irregularities in the face and neck. The goal is not to look like a different person, but to restore a natural, youthful version of oneself. Techniques range from superficial skin tightening to the deep plane approach, in which the underlying facial support structures are repositioned for longer-lasting, more natural results.
How Is Facelift Surgery Performed?
Standard Facelift
Incisions are placed along the natural ear contours — from the front hairline, behind the ear, and into the posterior hairline. The skin and underlying support tissue are repositioned. Surgery takes 3–5 hours; one overnight hospital stay is usually sufficient.
Mini Facelift
A more limited procedure using incisions confined to the area around the ear. Recovery is faster and local anaesthesia can be used in suitable patients. A compression mask is worn for 3 days post-operatively.
Endoscopic Facelift
Using small 1–2 cm incisions in the temple and forehead area with specialized endoscopic instruments, particularly effective for lifting the upper face.
Combined Procedures
Facelift can be combined with eyelid surgery, brow lift, neck lift, and fat grafting in the same session for comprehensive rejuvenation.
