In selected patients, facial rejuvenation surgery is not just an option—it is the only treatment capable of delivering a truly meaningful and long-lasting transformation.

Patients with advanced facial and neck laxity often cannot achieve satisfactory results with minimally invasive treatments alone. When significant skin redundancy is present, a well-executed facelift combined with a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy remains the gold standard.

As demonstrated in this case, extensive skin excision alone is never enough. The key lies in restoring each anatomical unit with precision while preserving harmony and natural facial expression. When these principles are respected, even the most challenging cases can achieve dramatic yet elegant outcomes.

For this patient, I performed a Deep Plane Facelift, Deep Neck Sculpting, Temporal Lift, and Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty.

The goal of facial rejuvenation should never be to create a different face—it should be to restore the patient’s own features with a fresher, younger appearance. Nearly imperceptible scars and meticulous attention to every region of the face make it possible to achieve results that are both natural and timeless.



True facial rejuvenation is not about making someone look operated on. It is about making them look like the best version of themselves.

The name of the procedures may be the same, but every facelift patient is unique.

Some patients require extensive release of retaining structures, others need volume restoration, some benefit from volume reduction, and most require a carefully balanced combination of all these elements. This is what makes facial rejuvenation both challenging and highly individualized.

The patient you see here presented one of the most demanding facial rejuvenation cases. She had a particularly heavy face and neck, and treating this type of neck remains one of the advanced technical challenges in facelift surgery.

Creating a refined, youthful neckline requires far more than simply tightening the skin. It demands a carefully balanced reduction of deep tissues, advanced deep-plane surgical maneuvers, and meticulous attention to facial harmony. Every step must be tailored to the patient’s anatomy to achieve a result that looks natural rather than operated on.

These photographs were taken 8 months after surgery. She initially came to me hoping to improve her heavy neck, but with the right surgical strategy, the transformation extended far beyond her expectations. The improvement in her facial definition, jawline, and overall facial balance became truly remarkable.

For this patient, I performed a Deep Plane Facelift, Deep Neck Sculpting, Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty, and Buccal Fat Removal.

The result was even more dramatic than I had anticipated—while preserving a completely natural appearance. That balance between significant improvement and natural elegance is always the ultimate goal of my facelift surgery.

Facial rejuvenation surgery has changed dramatically in recent years.
Today, Face Lift is no longer performed only to treat aging and skin laxity. Modern facial surgery focuses on each patient’s individual needs — regardless of age.

A Face Lift can now be performed not only for sagging, but also to improve facial definition, restore balance, and enhance weakened contours. With advanced techniques and well-hidden scars, younger patients can also benefit from natural and refined facial enhancement.

For this beautiful 44-year-old patient, I performed:
• Deep Plane Face Lift
• Deep Neck Sculpting
• Brow Lift
• Buccal Fat Removal
• Chin Augmentation
• Lip Lift

The result: a more defined, harmonious, and naturally refreshed appearance — without changing her identity. ✨

The most challenging facial rejuvenation patients are often those with severe facial fullness and a short neck. In these cases, the natural relationship between the neck, cheeks, brows, and eyelids is frequently lost, causing the facial proportions to merge into one undefined structure.

The true art of surgery in such patients is to address each facial unit individually while still achieving a harmonious, natural, and balanced final result.

For this lovely patient of mine , I performed a deep plane facelift, advanced neck sculpting, blepharoplasty, brow lift, buccal fat removal, fat transfer, and a lip lift.

At the end of the transformation, we achieved a more elegant upper face, a beautifully defined mid and lower face, a sharp jawline, and most importantly — a visibly refined neck contour.

In facial rejuvenation, it has been emphasized more and more in recent years that every component of the treatment matters—and that a holistic approach is essential.

From my daily clinical experience, I can say this clearly: even if an excellent midface and upper face lift is performed, patients are very likely to feel dissatisfied if a well-defined neck and jawline are not achieved.

For a truly harmonious side profile, a well-executed deep neck procedure is essential.
When this is properly addressed, patient happiness and satisfaction increase significantly.

This weekend, we successfully held the 5th Fabcast Facelift Cadaver Course at Ege University Faculty of Medicine in İzmir. It was a great honor to come together with plastic surgeon colleagues from both national and international communities.

As an instructor and a member of the Fabcast Faculty, I had the opportunity to perform a deep neck dissection together with my dear friend .mehmetcomert and share my experience with the participants.

I would also like to sincerely thank the course organizers, .mehmetgencer and .emreguvercin , for organizing such an outstanding event. As always, I am grateful to and for their continuous support.

Looking forward to many more productive and inspiring meetings ahead.

The before and after results you see in this patient actually summarize the evolution of facial rejuvenation surgery over the last decade.

In the past, facial rejuvenation procedures were mostly designed for older patients and focused mainly on tightening the superficial tissues. Today, modern facial rejuvenation surgery is much more than that.

Regardless of age, the goal is to analyze the face as a whole and treat each layer when necessary — sometimes lifting, sometimes reducing, sometimes adding volume, sometimes shortening or lengthening specific areas.

These personalized, combined procedures allow us to achieve natural rejuvenation while revealing the patient’s existing beauty rather than changing their identity.

For this patient, a combination of deep neck reduction, deep plane facelift, endoscopic brow lift, buccal fat removal, upper and lower blepharoplasty, facial fat grafting, and lip lift was performed.

The goal was not to create a different person, but to ensure that this young patient’s face, spirit, and energy are in harmony with each other.

In aesthetic facial surgery, there are several key factors that determine the final result. One is the surgeon’s technique, another is the patient’s expectations, and the last is the patient’s underlying skeletal structure.

For this patient, who had high-definition expectations, the bone structure was also suitable, so the combined surgical procedures resulted in an outcome that made both the patient and the surgeon happy. The procedures performed included a deep plane facelift, deep neck lift, brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, buccal fat removal, fat injection, and a lip lift.

As always, the goal was to achieve a natural rejuvenation that is harmonious with the face. The result successfully met the expectations.

In facial aesthetic surgery, planning should always be individualized for each patient. Although the goal for every patient is to achieve natural rejuvenation and more refined facial features, the approach differs depending on the individual. Younger and older patients require different strategies; patients with more pronounced wrinkles, a heavier or shorter neck, or less developed bone structure also need tailored techniques.

Similarly, when there are structural deficiencies in different areas of the face, specific procedures are combined and customized to reach the same common goal.

In this lovely patient, the main concerns were diffuse facial wrinkles and deformity in the neck area. The wrinkles were present across the entire face.

Through a combination of deep plane facelift, deep neck lift, brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, lip lift, and fat grafting, we were able to achieve our shared goal: a natural and refreshed rejuvenation.

Barcelona’da, Katalan Plastik Cerrahi Derneği (SCCRPE) tarafından düzenlenen toplantıda “Derin Plan Yüz Germe” ve “Derin Boyun Cerrahisi” konularında iki sunum gerçekleştirdim.

Avrupa’daki meslektaşlarımızla son dönemde büyük ilgi gören yüz estetiği üzerine fikir alışverişinde bulunduk. Türkiye’de bu alanda uyguladığımız ileri düzey cerrahi teknikleri paylaşma fırsatı buldum. Çok verimli ve keyifli bir bilimsel buluşma oldu; hem paylaştık hem de çok şey öğrendik.

Başta değerli dostum ve dernek başkanı olmak üzere, Katalan, İspanyol ve diğer Avrupalı tüm meslektaşlarıma teşekkür ederim.

Barcelona’da kendimi adeta evimde hissettim. Onurlu, ilkeli ve samimi Katalan ve İspanyol dostlarımıza misafirperverlikleri için ayrıca teşekkür ederim.

I had the pleasure of giving two presentations in Barcelona at the meeting organized by the Catalan Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCRPE), focusing on Deep Plane Facelift and Deep Neck Surgery.

We had valuable discussions with colleagues from across Europe about the “face aesthetics” concept, which has been gaining significant attention recently. It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas and share the advanced surgical techniques we are applying in Turkey. It was truly a productive and inspiring scientific meeting—we shared knowledge and learned a lot from each other.

My sincere thanks to my dear friend , the society president , and all Catalan, Spanish, and European colleagues for their warm welcome.

Barcelona made me feel completely at home. Special thanks to our honorable, principled, and sincere Catalan and Spanish friends for their hospitality.
