What is an extended deep plane facelift?
An extended deep plane facelift is a technique in which Dr. Muhsin Yılmaz releases the retaining ligaments of the face and repositions the deeper tissue layer together with the overlying skin as one unit. Because the skin is not pulled on its own, tension is carried by the deeper layer. The extended approach treats the face and neck together in one operation.
Why do international patients travel to Istanbul for Dr. Yılmaz?
International patients travel to Istanbul because Dr. Muhsin Yılmaz’s practice is limited to facial rejuvenation surgery. He performs ~150 facelift surgeries per year, has completed 600+ facial surgeries, and holds FEBOPRAS and Turkish Board certification. Most of his international patients come from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
Deep plane facelift results are long lasting because the technique repositions tissue that has descended with age rather than tightening skin alone. Ageing continues afterwards, and skin quality, weight change, sun exposure and genetics influence how the result matures. Dr. Muhsin Yılmaz discusses expected longevity with each patient during planning. Individual results may vary.
Is it safe to have facelift surgery in Turkey?
Facelift surgery in Turkey is as safe as the surgeon, the anaesthesia team and the hospital performing it. Dr. Muhsin Yılmaz operates in a fully licensed hospital with an anaesthesiologist present, and his practice holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health. Ask any surgeon abroad about certification, hospital and follow-up.
How do I start a consultation from abroad?
A consultation with Dr. Muhsin Yılmaz starts online. Send recent photographs of your face from the front, side and three-quarter angles together with a short medical history; Dr. Yılmaz reviews them personally and replies with an assessment. If you decide to go ahead, surgical planning, surgery dates and travel timing follow.
