Lifted contours, a natural face.
A face lift (rhytidectomy) restores the mid and lower face by lifting sagging skin and deeper tissues for a refreshed, rested look that is natural, never overdone. Supported from the U.S. to Istanbul and back.
Face Lift in Turkey
A face lift, medically known as rhytidectomy, tightens loose skin and repositions the deeper tissues of the cheeks, jawline and lower face to reduce sagging and deep folds. It is one of the most effective ways to address visible signs of facial aging.
At Esteworld, a face lift is designed around your facial structure for a natural result. Your journey can begin with an online consultation before traveling to Istanbul.
Depending on your goals, it can be combined with a neck lift, eyelid surgery or a brow lift for complete facial rejuvenation.
What a Face Lift Can Improve
A face lift focuses on the lower two-thirds of the face. The goal is to restore a younger, rested appearance while keeping your natural expression intact.
- Sagging cheeks and mid-face
- Deep nasolabial folds
- Jowls along the jawline
- Loss of jaw definition
- Loose skin of the lower face
- Combined neck laxity (with a neck lift)

Face Lift Recovery Timeline
Swelling, bruising and tightness are normal. You rest with your head elevated and follow wound-care guidance.
Bruising fades and stitches are removed. Most patients feel ready to be seen in public after about two weeks.
You gradually return to light routines. Residual swelling continues to settle.
Most patients return to normal activity and exercise with surgeon approval.
Final results develop as swelling fully resolves and scars fade discreetly around the ears.
Face Lift FAQs
What is a face lift?
A surgical procedure (rhytidectomy) that lifts sagging skin and deeper tissues of the mid and lower face for a refreshed, natural look.
Will it look natural?
Yes. Esteworld uses SMAS and deep-plane techniques designed to preserve your natural expression rather than an over-tightened look.
Where are the scars?
Incisions are placed around and behind the ears where they heal discreetly and are easily hidden.
Can I combine it with a neck lift?
Yes. A face and neck lift together rejuvenate the jawline and neck for a balanced result.
How long does a face lift last?
Results are long-lasting; while aging continues naturally, most patients enjoy the benefits for many years.
How long is recovery?
Most patients feel comfortable being seen after about two weeks, with final results over a few months.
Is it cheaper in Turkey?
In many cases, yes, compared with U.S. private surgery, but surgeon experience and safety should come first.

Yes. You can begin with a free online consultation before traveling.
