Patient is a doctor from UK.

My colleague flying to Antalya and trusting me with his own face , this is the highest compliment a surgeon can get in this profession.

Endoscopic facelift , post op 2 years.

Mid face volume descent and upper face dominant aging. So I preferred a vertical lift with endoscopic method. Tiny scars hidden inside the hair , no visible incision around the ears.

Right operation for the right anatomy.

We age downwards.

The fat that used to sit on your cheekbone at 25 is now hanging at your nasolabial fold at 50.

Gravity did its job.

A deep plane facelift pulls oblique , lateral and slightly up. Good for the jawline , the neck , the jowls. But that vector is not capable enough to reach the medial cheek where the volume actually went missing.

Thats why I add a vertical midfacelift to every deep plane I perform. Small incisions inside the hair , a true vertical vector , the descended volume goes back where it belongs.

Oblique vector for the lower face + vertical vector for the midface = full face addressed in one surgery.

Why would I leave the midface behind :)

This was a hard case, I am glad we achieved all our goals with my patient.

Deviated septum and tip , high radix, dorsal hump, projected and long nose with a thick skin.

All those problems limit me to reduce the nose as much as I can, but the result at the end makes both me and my patient happy.

Recovery is on progress, only post op 13th day, most of the swelling and bruises still there.

(Thick skin patient, you have to wait at least 1 year to see the real result)

She came to us after a previous facelift performed in another clinic.

The question for us was not how much more to do, but what needed to be restored and what needed to be respected.

A face that has already been operated carries its own map, and any revision must read that map carefully before making a plan.

The concerns were clear. The temples had lost volume over time. The right lower eyelid carried an old fat graft that had become heavy and irregular. The neck had softened. The upper eyelids showed a tired hood. The distance between lip and nose had lengthened, and the corners of the mouth had started to turn down.

We built the plan in three layers.

1️⃣
For structure, we chose a deep plane face and necklift with a vertical lift vector. The midface and the temples were lifted through incisions hidden inside the hair. A platysmaplasty rebuilt the neck line. An upper blepharoplasty opened the eyes. A lip lift with a gliding corner lift shortened the lip to nose distance and gently lifted the smile.

2️⃣
For volume, we used the patient’s own tissue. The temples received nano fat in two layers, one deep inside the temporal muscle and one superficial under the skin. The old graft in the right lower eyelid was removed, and both lower eyelids received a proper fat transfer supported with SVF. The perioral area was also treated with SVF to soften the lines around the mouth.

3️⃣
For skin quality, we finished the surgery with fractional CO2 laser and exosome application to support healing and skin texture from the very first day.

What you see here is Day 14. Swelling and colour changes are still part of the process. The final result develops over the next six to twelve months as the deep tissues settle and the fat grafts stabilise.

Revision cases ask for patience from both sides. We planned this together, step by step, with clear expectations and a shared timeline.

Two years after deep plane facelift , temporal lift and upper bleph.

She looks like this because surgery gave her the foundation and she took care of herself after.

Most patients think the surgery does everything.
It doesnt.

Surgery repositions. Laser resurfaced. Exosome stimulated. But after that , you.
Sunscreen , retinol , hydration , maybe a peel once a year.

No smoking. Enough sleep. Eating like you respect your body. Not complicated.

I see patients at year 3 who look better than their year 1 photos and patients at year 2 who already lost half their result.

Same surgery. Different habits.

Smoking alone can age your result by years. Not metaphorically , literally. Collagen breaks down , circulation drops , skin thins. The surgery never had a chance.

Sleep is when your tissue repairs.
Chronic dehydration shows on skin before it shows anywhere else.
Bad diet means chronic inflammation and chronic inflammation means faster collagen loss.

(Hint: the ones who age badly after facelift are usually the ones who never had a skincare routine before either)

Your skin is a living tissue , not a sculpture.
You have to maintain it.

Hotel prices in Antalya this summer are not a small thing.

We know they have been quietly sitting between you and the decision you have been thinking about for a long time.

So we did something about it.

Your full 14-night stay at Lilium Boutique Hotel is now included in the facial rejuvenation package. Deluxe room for two. Daily breakfast. Everything arranged. One price.

And summer is not the wrong time for this. It is the smartest time. You recover quietly while everyone else is busy, and you walk into autumn exactly as you always planned to look.

We have a very small number of June, July, and August slots remaining. Dr. Berat operates one patient per day, three cases in a week, and they go faster than people expect.

If this has been on your mind, my DMs are always open.

Most patients think healing stops when the wound closes.

It does not.

Inside your skin, a slow biological process continues for up to two years.

Collagen is being sorted, organised, and locked into place. Layer by layer.

This is why early irregularities, pulling, and unevenness are not signs that something went wrong. They are signs that your body is still working.

Understanding this one concept changes how you experience your entire recovery.

Next reel: how to care for your scars during this period so the remodeling works for you, not against you.

Follow so you do not miss it.

Pain management isn’t an afterthought.
It starts before you even wake up.

Long-acting local anaesthetic at key points. A PCA device you control. A private nurse by your side through the first night. And a multimodal approach that prioritises your comfort with fewer side effects.

No surprises.
Just a system built around you.

This is what a natural result looks like at 3 months.

Nothing stretched. Nothing distorted. Nothing that makes people wonder what happened.

When I plan a surgery, my goal is always the same. Remove the signs of aging that make you look tired and unhappy. Restore the energy that was always there.

Because everyone deserves to look the way they feel inside.

Some people carry more tiredness on their face than they actually feel inside.
The mirror starts telling a different story than the one they live.
This gentleman had energy. He had confidence. He had plans. But his face wasn’t keeping up with any of it.
So we built a plan around that gap.
Deep plane face and necklift. Browlift and upper blepharoplasty. CO2 laser resurfacing with exosome support for skin quality.
Not to look younger than his age. To look like the version of himself he already felt like.
Post-op day 13. Still healing. Still improving. Already aligned.
You are at your feeling age. Surgery just removes what was hiding it.
