What is Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is the most effective way to remove the signs of aging and restore your youthful appearance. This advanced cosmetic surgery procedure targets the deep tissues of the face, resulting in more natural and long-lasting results.

Deep Plane Facelift Techniques

The deep plane facelift is a highly effective procedure that focuses on the muscle and connective tissues under the skin. This approach lifts and reshapes sagging areas of the face, giving you a more youthful appearance. The deep plane facelift typically involves the following steps:

1. Anesthesia: The patient will be given general anesthesia before the operation.
2. Incisions: Thin incisions are made starting in front of the ear and extending to the hairline.
3. Deep Tissue Manipulation: Deep plane techniques lift and reposition the muscle and connective tissues under the skin.
4. Skin Lifting: The skin is stretched and excess skin is removed in a way that aligns with the natural contours of the face.
5. Stitches: The incisions are closed with precision, and the resulting scars are kept to a minimum.

Differences and Advantages from Other Face Lift Methods

A deep plane facelift works with both superficial and deep tissues, following the natural anatomy of the face to provide a more permanent and natural appearance. The advantages of deep plane facelift surgery are as follows:

• Natural Outcomes: It protects the natural contours of the face and gives a more youthful appearance.
• Long Lasting Impact: You will get long-lasting results with deep tissue intervention.
• Minimal Scar: The incisions are made along the natural folds, which means you will have minimal scarring after the operation.

A deep plane facelift is the ideal option for anyone experiencing significant sagging and deep wrinkles. Dr. Erman Ak is a specialist in this technique, and he has achieved successful results in many of his patients.

What is Neck Lift Surgery?

A neck lift is an effective surgical procedure that eliminates sagging and loosening in the neck area due to the aging process or genetic factors. This procedure makes the neck area look younger and firmer, and it is usually performed together with a facelift.

Neck Lift Techniques

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat tissue in the neck area, tightening the muscles, and repositioning the skin. Here are the general steps of a neck lift:

1. Anesthesia: The patient will be given general anesthesia before the operation.
2. Incisions: The incisions are made starting under the chin or behind the ear and extending along the neckline.
3. Removal of Fat and Skin: Liposuction is used to remove excess fat tissue, and loose skin is cut.
4. Muscle Tightening: The neck muscles (platysma) are tightened and repositioned.
5. Skin Lifting: The skin is stretched in accordance with the natural neck contours and secured with sutures.
6. Stitches: The incisions are closed with precision, and the resulting scars are kept to a minimum.

Differences and Advantages from Other Neck Aesthetic Methods

A neck lift is a more invasive procedure than a superficial one. However, it offers long-lasting results. Here are the advantages of a neck lift:

• Younger Appearance: This procedure provides a younger appearance by removing sagging and loosening in the neck area.
• Long Lasting Impact: You will get long-lasting results with deep tissue intervention.
• Natural Scars: The incisions are made along the natural folds, which means you will have minimal scarring after the operation.

Neck lift surgery is the ideal option for people with significant neck sagging and double chin problems. Dr. Erman Ak is a leading expert in this field and has achieved successful results in many of his patients.

Holistic Rejuvenation: Face and Neck Lift Combination

A facelift and neck lift surgery combination offers many advantages both aesthetically and functionally. This is the best way to eliminate the signs of aging in the face and neck area at the same time.

Benefits of Combination Surgery

There are three key benefits to performing a face and neck lift surgery together.

• Double Impact with a Single Surgery: Simultaneous interventions in the face and neck area are the most efficient way for the patient to undergo a single recovery process, saving time.
• More Youthful and Balanced Appearance: A harmonious regeneration is achieved in the face and neck area, establishing an aesthetic balance between the face and neck.
• Long Lasting and Permanent Results: Interventions in deep tissues deliver long-lasting, natural results in both the face and neck area.

Advantages of Simultaneous Surgeries

There are many advantages for both the patient and the surgeon when performing face and neck lift surgeries together.

• Short Recovery Period: A single operation is the way to go. It shortens the recovery period.
• Cost Effectiveness: A single operation is the way to go. It shortens the recovery period.
• Less Risk of Anesthesia: A single surgery session is often more economical than separate surgeries.

For patients seeking holistic renewal, a combination facelift and neck lift is the most effective solution. Dr. Erman Ak delivers excellent results with his experience and expertise in these combination surgeries.

Pre and Postoperative Process

Face and neck lift surgeries require careful preparation and recovery. We take meticulous care of our patients at every stage of these processes to ensure their safety and get the best results.

Preoperative Preparations

The pre-operative process ensures that patients are physically and psychologically prepared for surgery. Here are the important steps to consider in this process:

• Consultation and Evaluation: The first step is a consultation with Dr. Erman Ak. This meeting is where the patient’s expectations and the scope of the surgery are discussed in detail.
• Health Condition Analysis: Before the operation, we evaluate the patient’s general health condition. We perform blood tests, an ECG, and other necessary tests.
• Smoking and Medication Use: It is imperative that you stop smoking before surgery. Smoking negatively affects the healing process. In addition, you must stop taking blood thinners and herbal supplements before surgery.
• Surgery Planning: The date and time of the surgery are set, and the patient is informed of the necessary preparations for the day of surgery.

Operation Process and Duration

A face and neck lift surgery usually takes a few hours. Here is what you need to know about the surgical process:

• Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so the patient will not feel any pain.
• Surgical Intervention: We make the necessary incisions in the face and neck area and stretch the skin by intervening in deep tissues.
• Duration of Surgery: The surgery takes between three and six hours, depending on the extent of the procedures.
• Postoperative Care: It is crucial to provide optimal postoperative care and consider key factors to ensure the success of the surgery and the healing process.

Postoperative Recovery and Care Recommendations

The postoperative recovery process includes essential steps that will enable patients to resume their daily lives.

• First Days: Immediately after the operation, you may need to stay in hospital for a few days. During this time, drains and bandages may be used.
• Swelling and Bruises: Postoperative swelling and bruising are normal and begin to subside within a few weeks.
• Removal of Stitches: The stitches are removed one week after surgery.
• Back to Daily Life: Patients can usually return to their daily activities 2-4 weeks after surgery.
• Long Term Care: To ensure that the results of the surgery are permanent, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions and go for regular check-ups.
