Facelift
With age, there happen to be certain changes in the face. Besides aging, sunlight and gravity play a big role in the facial area. Due to decreased muscle tightness, muscle and skin sagging may occur especially in the chin and neck region. The skin gets dryer and it loses its shine, it gets loose and starts to have a saggy appearance with more wrinkles. As collagen produce reduces, the skin loses its elasticity. Especially facial parts that have been exposed to sun for a long time tend to age more.
All these effects can make you look older. With a facelift procedure it is possible to re-gain your younger look with a tighter and smoother skin.
Non-surgical Facelift
Thanks to the latest technological developments, many non-surgical facelifting devices have been developed. The most important thing in this subject is your expectation and your actual condition. The method which gives the best result with only one session is HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) treatment. While other methods are supposed to be applied several sessions, with HIFU technique it is possible to see a great advance with only one session.
It is performed easily without any need of anesthesia and it takes nearly 1 hour. After a non-surgical facelift, it is possible to see the difference but in order to obtain the full result the patient should wait 30 to 45 days. Its permanence depends on the person but in general the achieved results stay for 1-2 years.
Non-surgical facelifting procedure is performed by our Dermatologist Dr. Oyku Celen and it is possible to travel back to your country on the same day or 1 day after the procedure.
We can easily state that with non-surgical facelifting procedure, patients can achieve really good results but it should not be mistaken for “surgical facelift”. For those who are scared of surgery and anesthesia, the best method is HIFU facelift.
Mini Facelift Surgery
If the skin removal incisions are limited to be done in a specific part of the scalp, it is called Mini Facelifting. The advantage of this procedure is to limit the possibility of scarring and to shorten the healing process. This method is usually recommended for those who are between 40-50 years old and do not have too much excess skin around the mouth and chin. Recently, thanks to the endoscopic midface lift procedures, mini facelift surgery has become less popular.
Midface Lift Surgery
The endoscopic midface lift, or cheek lift is a procedure that can lift sagging cheeks, smooth out nasal furrows, and pull up the corners of your lips. It can be performed either with a small incision in the lower part of the eyes or endoscopically from scalp.
It is compatible with patients at the age of 40-55. It is performed under general anesthesia and takes nearly 2 hours.
Full Facelift
Firstly, an incision is made around the ears and continues into the hairline. A small incision is also made under the chin so that excess fat can be removed and the muscles can be tightened. The deep tissue is tightened from the incisions around the ear, creating a sling effect under the neck. This type of facelift is ideal for someone who has advanced sagging skin around the neck, usually at the age of 55 to 60. It is performed under general anesthesia and approximately takes 2 hours in total.
How is Facelift procedure performed?
An incision begins in the hairline at the temples, continues around the ear and ends in the lower scalp. The soft tissues that covers around the muscles that cause the skin to be saggy are lifted and the excess skin is removed. The deep wrinkles around the mouth area are stretched. It is performed under general anesthesia. It is possible to perform blepharoplasty or necklift procedures in the same session too, which will prolong the duration from 4 to 7 hours in total.

Kävin nenäleikkauksessa travelmedicin kautta ja kaikki meni hyvin jännityksestä huolimatta. Konsultti auttoi kaikissä kysymyksissä. Dr.Mustafa oli todella ammattitaitoinen. Lopputuloksesta tuli juuri sellainen mitä suunniteltiin. Suosittelen

Chciałbym podziękować Pani Doktor oraz całemu personelowi za profesjonalizm i troskę. Po przeszczepie czułem się w dobrych rękach. Pani Doktor była nie tylko kompetentna, ale także wyjątkowo empatyczna. Personel był miły i pomocny, a Berat, który mnie wspierał, zasługuje na szczególne wyróżnienie. Jego wsparcie w całym procesie było bezcenne. Dziękuję!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! My experience with Berat at TravelMEDI was exceptional from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble any questions I may have had were answered promptly and efficiently. The treatment I received was fantastic from my surgeon to the hospital staff who were outstanding the hospital and Hotel beat anything in the UK. Now home the care is still there with regular contact via Berat. I can’t thank Berat and TravelMEDI enough for their kindness.

Where do I start? I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the beginning until the end, Travelmedi looked after myself, my husband and even our little girl. They made us feel so comfortable and respected.
I came over to Istanbul for a tummy tuck and liposuction after hating how I looked for many years. Having children left me with an overhang. I was introduced to Dr Mustafa Keskin who gave me the results I really wished for. He has given me the body I always wanted!! I am over the moon with how I look right now, it makes me emotional. He was so caring & calm and made me feel like I could trust him straight away. Thank YOU!!!
A special thank you has to go to the man behind the scenes.. Berat. What an absolute angel of a man. He has looked after us amazingly. He has been there to answer all of our questions, some silly questions, but also to help us feel comfortable in a country we have never been to before. We have developed a real friendship with Berat and we think that our experience wouldn’t have been as perfect as it has been, if Berat wasn’t with us. Thank YOU Travelmedi for the most wonderful experience. We will recommend to all of our family & friends. See you again in the future.

I came to travel medi on a recommendation for a breast uplift and augmentation but being only 22 I was extremely nervous and it was my first surgery also. Berat was just amazing I cannot talk higher of him! He made the whole experience every single step as seamless as possible, I was given a whole itinerary and Berat still kept me updated and went through every step I did by my side. Every consultation appointment every time I had to leave the hotel he was there with us, he is so so lovely kind caring and any question or query(not that I had many) he answered almost immediately!
I went to a different surgeon than what I was supposed to but it was the best decision ever made. Professor Mustafa Keskin is top of the game and he was absolutely brilliant and went into so much detail about every single aspect of the surgery.
I was extremely nervous about having surgery but he was amazing. Berat was with me every step of the way till I was being wheeled down for surgery! When I woke up in the morning he was there for my release and accompanied me in the car back to the hotel.
Travel Medi is an amazing company to go with, from start to finish my whole process was completely seamless and stress free. They sort everything out so all you have to do is turn up! Every time we left the hotel for a consultation or blood work our driver was there to take us wait and pick us up. Berat is a credit to Travel Medi he’s an absolute diamond! Even now I am home he is still checking in to make sure I am ok!

From the very first contact made with travelmedi the service was amazing. They were so thorough with all their questions and as a mother allowing her child at 17 years old to under go any surgery never mind surgery in another country I say I had nothing to worry about. They made great contact right up to appointment. From the first greeting at airport until the last drop bk at airport to return was excellent service. And that wasn't the end they still made contact to see how her healing process was and I honestly would recommend them to anyone. The service in turkey was for a breast reduction and from her first appointment until her last the staff were so helpful pleasant and very caring.

Honestly couldn't recommend anyone more. From start to finish I have been kept informed and reassured with everything. Any questions I had Berat answered quickly and made me feel very comfortable going forward with the surgery. I had the surgery less that a week ago and I am already massively happy with the results I have and can't wait till I am fully healed for the finished look! If anyone is unsure of travelling to Turkey or who to go with regarding surgey, TravelMedi is for sure the best!
