Best awake deep plane facelift and necklift package Turkey

What an awake deep-plane facelift and necklift package is

A deep-plane facelift lifts a composite flap of skin and deeper tissue and releases retaining ligaments so the jawline can sit again without a skin-only pull. In the same sitting a necklift addresses platysma bands and, when named, submental fat, so a lifted face does not sit above an untreated neck. “Awake” here means local anaesthetic with sedation as named on the written plan — not a general anaesthetic, and not a lunch-hour thread lift. It is still a long theatre day. A number of years is not promised at a fixed fee.

Plastic Surgery Turkey coordinates this as the best all-inclusive awake deep-plane stay we offer when both the face and the neck belong on the same paper: the sitting named after assessment, hotel nights around the first dressing checks, transfers, and an English-speaking coordinator. Who operates belongs on the paper, not in a slogan.

Who this package is for

Surgeons usually consider adults with jowl and jawline descent plus a neck that needs platysma work in the same sitting, who can accept scars around the ear and into the hairline, and who can follow a smoke-stop protocol. A mini facelift is the wrong quote for a heavy neck. A SMAS-only plan without deep-plane release is a different sitting. If the team judges that a general anaesthetic is safer than an awake protocol, this package is not assumed.

Send daylight photographs without make-up — front, both profiles, the neck and a three-quarter turn. Suitability is confirmed in Istanbul, standing, before anyone operates. Eyelids in the same sitting are not assumed. Blood pressure, smoking and blood-thinning tablets belong in the history, not as an afterthought at the door.

What the all-inclusive stay covers

The EUR figure on this page is one coordinated stay, not a menu you assemble at the desk. Your written plan lists the deep-plane facelift and necklift as planned after assessment, the pre-operative examination and blood tests, local anaesthetic with sedation as named, hotel nights with breakfast for the nights we book around the checks, private transfers between the airport, hotel and clinic, an English-speaking coordinator, and the dressings — and a chin strap if the plan names one — fitted before you leave.

Hotel nights are hotel nights after discharge, not a surgical ward. If drains or blood-pressure checks keep you overnight, that stay sits inside the Istanbul window; it is not sold as a “no hospital” slogan. The coordinator stays the same person who wrote back to your first message.

What sits outside the quote

Flights to and from Istanbul are extra unless a contract says otherwise. Extra nights you add yourself, a companion’s room, travel insurance, eyelid surgery, fat grafting, a conversion to general anaesthetic billed separately, a mini-only sitting, and a later revision sit outside this figure unless they are named on the paper. Stretching the skin to chase a photograph of another face is refused; that is a clinical limit, not an upsell.

Theatre, anaesthetic and nights in Istanbul

Plan ten to fourteen days in the city. That window covers the in-person assessment, the sitting, the first dressing checks, drain removal when drains are used, and clearance to fly. Seven to ten nights belong to a mini facelift, not this combined deep-plane and neck plan. Social downtime is usually two to three weeks — longer than the stay. Leave room for an extra night if the team asks.

Theatre is commonly three to five hours when the neck is in the same sitting, under local anaesthetic with sedation as named. Cuts run in the temple hairline, around the ear and into the posterior scalp. Bruising often peaks on days two to four. Discharge is signed by the surgeon — it is not an advertising date.

Recovery after you fly home

Head up, cold compresses as shown, no gym, no heavy bags, no headset or tight sunglasses on fresh lines. Hair washing follows the protocol so the hairline is not pulled. Numbness in the ears and cheeks is common. Scars take six to twelve months to settle. Harder exercise and anything that raises blood pressure in the face wait until the discharge note says so. The face keeps settling for months. None of that is a years-younger guarantee.

Red flags after you return — sudden one-sided swelling, spreading redness, pus, a temperature that persists, pain that is getting worse, or breathlessness — mean a local clinician or A&E first, then your coordinator. Take the discharge note with you.
