EBOPRAS Facial Surgery

Facial & Neck Rejuvenation, by a Board-Certified Surgeon

Every procedure repositions and restores the deeper structures of the face — so you leave looking rested and unmistakably like yourself, never pulled or operated on.

Deep Plane Facelift

Releases and repositions the deeper tissue and ligaments as one unit rather than pulling the skin tight, so your face still moves naturally when you smile. Because the lift is anchored in stable deep tissue, results hold for years — without the windswept, ‘done’ look.

Deep Plane Facelift in Istanbul

Deep Plane Neck Lift

Restores the deeper support layers of the neck to redefine the jawline, soften banding and sharpen the profile — not skin-tightening alone. The incision sits in the natural crease under the chin, where the anatomy already hides it.

Neck Lift in Istanbul

Eye Rejuvenation (Blepharoplasty)

Refines tired, heavy upper or lower lids to open the eyes and leave you looking rested — conservatively, so the eye never reads hollow or startled. Incisions follow the natural eyelid fold and settle over the months that follow.

Eyelid Surgery in Istanbul

Lip Lift

Shortens the philtrum to increase natural lip show and dental display — a permanent, maintenance-free result that fillers cannot replicate. Candidacy is assessed precisely, and the fine incision is concealed at the base of the nose.

Lip Lift in Istanbul

Midface, Brow & Facial Fat Transfer

Restores volume lost from the cheeks and temples using your own living fat, placed in micro-droplets, with an endoscopic brow lift to soften a heavy, tired expression. The goal is restored facial harmony — correcting what ageing removed, not adding a different face.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Facelift & Necklift

How long does a facelift last?
A facelift performed by Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman typically lasts 8-12 years. The longevity depends on factors such as skin quality, lifestyle, and the specific technique used. Deep plane facelifts tend to produce longer-lasting results compared to traditional techniques.
What is the recovery time after a facelift?
Most patients can return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks. Initial swelling and bruising typically subside within 10-14 days. Full results become visible after 3-6 months as the tissues settle into their new position.
Why choose Turkey for a facelift?
Turkey is a world-leading destination for aesthetic surgery, offering EBOPRAS-certified surgeons like Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman, JCI-accredited hospitals, and competitive pricing—up to 60-70% less than in Europe or the US—without compromising on quality or safety.
Is Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman internationally certified?
Yes! Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman is EBOPRAS certified (European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery) and a member of European medical organizations. With 18+ years of experience and over 2500 successful facelift procedures, he is one of Turkey's most trusted aesthetic surgeons.
Can I get a free online consultation?
Absolutely! IME Clinic offers free video consultations with Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman. You can schedule a call via WhatsApp at +90 546 524 83 34 or fill out the appointment form on our website. Our team speaks English, Russian, Ukrainian, Italian, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.
What is included in the facelift package at IME Clinic?
Our all-inclusive packages typically include: the surgery, hospital stay, surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, pre-operative tests, post-operative medications, VIP airport transfers, and hotel accommodation during recovery. We take care of everything so you can focus on your transformation.
How much does a facelift cost in Turkey?
Facelift costs in Turkey vary depending on the technique (mini facelift, full facelift, deep plane), the complexity of the case, and whether you combine it with other procedures. Turkey offers significantly more affordable pricing than Europe or the USA — without compromising on quality. For a personalized quote tailored to your needs, contact us for a free video consultation via WhatsApp: +90 546 524 83 34.
What type of anesthesia is used during a facelift?
General anesthesia is used for full facelift and necklift procedures, ensuring you are completely comfortable throughout the surgery. Our board-certified anesthesiologists monitor your vitals at every stage. For minor procedures like mini-facelifts, local anesthesia with sedation may be an option.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift and does Dr. Emre perform it?
A Deep Plane Facelift is an advanced technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues (SMAS layer) rather than just tightening the skin. This produces more natural-looking, longer-lasting results (10-15 years). Yes, Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman is highly experienced in Deep Plane Facelift technique.
Is there an age limit for facelift surgery?
There is no strict age limit. Most facelift patients are between 45-70 years old, but suitability depends on overall health rather than age alone. Dr. Emre evaluates each patient individually during the free consultation to determine if they are a good candidate.
Will there be visible scars after a facelift?
Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman uses advanced incision techniques that hide scars within the natural hairline and behind the ears. After 6-12 months, scars become virtually invisible. Proper post-operative care and scar management protocols further minimize their appearance.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul after the surgery?
We recommend staying 5-7 days in Istanbul after a facelift. This includes 1 night in the hospital and 4-6 nights at a comfortable hotel. During this time, Dr. Emre will conduct follow-up examinations and remove stitches before you fly home safely.
Can I combine a facelift with other procedures?
Yes! Many patients choose to combine their facelift with necklift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), fat transfer, or rhinoplasty for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining procedures reduces overall recovery time and costs compared to having them separately.
What are the risks and complications of a facelift?
When performed by an experienced surgeon like Prof. Dr. Emre Koçman, facelift surgery is very safe. Potential risks include temporary swelling, bruising, numbness, and in rare cases, infection or hematoma. Dr. Emre's complication rate is below 1% thanks to his meticulous technique and state-of-the-art facility.
How do I plan my travel to Istanbul for surgery?
IME Clinic handles everything for you: VIP airport pickup, hotel reservation, hospital arrangements, and interpreter services. Simply book your flight to Istanbul Airport (IST), and our team will be waiting. We recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance to ensure availability. Contact us on WhatsApp at +90 546 524 83 34 to start planning.
