What a Combined Face & Neck Lift Actually Treats
A standalone facelift addresses sagging in the mid-face, jawline, and jowls — but in most patients aged 45+, the neck ages faster than the face. Treating only the face leaves a visible mismatch: a tight, youthful jawline above loose platysma bands and a 'turkey wattle' below. A combined procedure resolves both in one surgery, one anesthesia, and one recovery window.
In a single 3.5–4.5 hour operation, Dr. Avşar repositions the SMAS layer of the face, redrapes excess skin along the jawline, tightens the platysma muscle of the neck (corset platysmaplasty), and removes pre-jowl fat when needed. The result: a unified, rested look that holds 10–12 years.
- Mid-face and cheek descent
- Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Jowls and pre-jowl fat pockets
- Platysmal bands ('turkey neck')
- Submental fullness ('double chin')
- Loose skin under the jawline
Why Patients Choose Turkey for Face + Neck Lift
Turkey is not 'cheap surgery' — it is value surgery. The 60–70% price difference vs the US or UK comes from structural economics (lower facility overhead, favorable currency, government health-tourism incentives), not from cutting corners on the surgeon, the hospital, or the implants and sutures used.
Dr. Yakup Avşar operates exclusively in JCI-accredited hospitals that meet the same international standards as Cleveland Clinic or Johns Hopkins. The hospital is equipped with the same monitoring, the same anesthesia protocols, and the same emergency response capability you would receive in any premium US facility.
- Surgeon time: Dr. Avşar performs only 1–2 surgeries per day — never an assembly-line schedule
- Same materials: US-imported sutures, drains, and dressings
- English fluency: Surgeon and concierge team both speak English
- No tourist gimmicks: No 'fly in Monday, surgery Tuesday' — you arrive 24h early for proper labs and consultation
- 12-month follow-up: Included in the package — virtual reviews + photo check-ins

Is the Result Equivalent to a US/UK Facelift?
Yes — and in many cases superior, because Dr. Avşar performs combined face + neck lifts at higher annual volume (180+ per year) than most US or UK surgeons (who average 30–60). Higher volume in plastic surgery correlates directly with refined technique, lower revision rates, and more predictable long-term results.
The surgical technique used — extended SMAS with corset platysmaplasty — is the same gold-standard approach taught at ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) conferences worldwide.
