A facelift (rhytidectomy) is the gold standard procedure for addressing visible signs of facial aging — lifting sagging skin, softening deep folds, and restoring a naturally youthful contour to the face and jawline. Unlike non-surgical alternatives, it delivers results that last.
Prof. Dr. Özgür Pilancı performs facelifts using modern, minimally visible techniques that prioritize natural outcomes — so you look refreshed, not “done.”
A facelift tightens the underlying facial muscles and removes excess skin to lift and reposition facial tissue that has descended with age. It targets the mid-face, jowls, and neck for comprehensive rejuvenation that can take years off your appearance.
Turkey offers world-class facelift surgery at a fraction of the cost of the UK, Germany, or the US. Istanbul’s top plastic surgeons bring academic expertise and high patient volumes — translating to consistent, refined results for international patients.

Most patients are between 45–70, though candidacy depends on skin laxity and overall health, not age alone.
