An Exceptional Experience of Face&Necklifting in 45 yo female patient with Prof. Atacan Emre Koçman
I recently underwent a face and neck lift, as well as inferior blepharoplasty and lip lift with Prof. Dr. Atacan Emre Koçman, a very skilled facial reconstructive surgeon in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results and overall experience.
Before making my decision, I spent a lot of time researching different surgical techniques and surgeons, ultimately choosing him because of his expertise in the deep plane technique. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia and lasted five hours, went smoothly. I felt completely comfortable throughout and was able to return to a normal routine almost immediately, after 2 nights that i was in clinic for monitoring before moving to a hotel for an additional nights of rest and recovery. I experienced absolutely no pain afterward—just some normal swelling, which was expected.
What really stood out to me was how much the Dr. Koçman genuinely cared about my well-being. He followed up regularly to ensure I was comfortable and answered any questions I had before & during my recovery. It’s rare to find a surgeon with such a perfect combination of technical expertise and deep empathy for their patients.
I am extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend Prof. Dr. Atacan Emre Koçman to anyone considering similar procedures. I will for sure come back for revision when will be needed in 10/15 years
I would also highly recommend the IME team that organised everything (all logistics, from and to airport and in Istanbul, blood tests, hotel accommodation etc etc), continuously check and support from Dr. Vadym and from Ozan.

Diagnosis: Facelift, blepharoplasty
Good afternoon!
My name is Ludmila. On 21.12.2024, I underwent surgery on my face and neck, as well as blepharoplasty. The decision about this procedure was not easy for me, and for its realization I needed a really experienced surgeon. Based on my experience, I would like to say that Dr. Nika is more than just a doctor. Her calmness and patient attitude towards her patients is admirable.
She made time to communicate even after hours, paying attention to my questions and concerns despite being busy with my family. Her approach to patients exceeded my expectations, she was not only a professional surgeon but also a true counselor helping me with any worries I had. A month after surgery I am still getting recommendations from her. The surgery was painless and the results were better than I could have imagined. Thank her for everything from the bottom of my heart ♥️

Good afternoon, everyone! In September 2023, I decided to fulfill my dream at the age of 66 and have a facial surgery in Istanbul. I saw an advertisement that promised to make my dream come true and I decided to call. I got a call back from the coordinator Natalka, who in a gentle, warm and affectionate voice clearly explained everything about the beauty surgery. He helped me to feel young again and turn into a young beautiful woman.For this I sincerely thank him.Natalka was always by my side.I was met with flowers when I arrived in Istanbul by a beautiful girl translator Yasmin and manager Ozan.Thank you for their sensitivity, clarity and care for me.But I want to thank Natalka from the bottom of my heart.

I would like to write about my experience with Dr. Konstantin Siminenko. I researched the internet for the best plastic surgeons in Turkey. Konstantin texted me on WhatsApp. He asked me a few questions about age, what I want to do and send him my photos. He asked me when I am planning the surgery. I planned in August, as I have trips in July, but Konstantin suggested that maybe have the surgery earlier before my trip and I realized that this was the best solution. After that, there was an answer that he would find out who would suit me in terms of price and quality. He received a response from Professor Yakup Cil. Everything was written in the contract, what operation, cost and everything that is included in this cost. So it’s happened so quickly and spontaneously, but this is all thanks to Konstantin’s confident voice and his qualified and competent answers to my worries. I asked him a lot of questions and how I can pay, it’s great that it’s not a problem with a credit card from foreign country. Konstantin was always in touch with me, 24/7 despite the time difference, and he gave me confidence that everything will be fine. Then he connected me with the manager Eldar, whom I didn’t bother with so many questions, and already he sent me the details of the meeting at the airport, and so on. Interpreter Nargiz contacted me, a very nice, smiling girl, and upon arrival she was helped by another translator Sevil very pleasant, and we also had a good conversation with her. On the first evening after the surgery, I wrote to Konstantin: “In general, I have already had a surgery. Until I saw the result) in any case, thank you for your help. Your voice and answers were very encouraging and I didn’t look for anything else and rushed to the embrasure ????”. Once again I thank Konstantin, thanks to him I decided on such a difficult decision that was important for me. It had to be done now or no one knows when. I thank the whole team, and of course to professor Yakup Cil of the Medical Park hospital

Diagnosis: Lower facial lifting
Hello, I would like to thank the esteworld team for their professionalism and seriousness. I had the operation on February 14th, and today at D + 3 I am very pleased with the work done. I was very concerned about the idea of doing my surgery abroad but they were able to understand and encourage them to make this intervention a success. I would like to thank, in particular, Dr. Guler Gamze Ozkan, as well as Ms Seydou OZGOR, manager for France, as well as Ms Hasser Güns, Ms Kevser SEZER for their listening and patience. I also thank the translator who knew how to be approachable and efficient to facilitate communication. All the teams were attentive, especially the nurse who took care of me during my stay in the hospital. I really recommend Esteworld, which takes every aspect of the operation seriously: the hotel, the hospital, the team, even the Hospital-Hotel or Airport-Hotel transfer – everything was perfect.

Dr. Konstantin has been great in coordinating my mom’s facelift surgery. He communicated with us in all hours of the day and night. He addressed all of our concerns and gave us great advice when we asked for a recommendation. He negotiated rates on our behalf and helped us arrange for transportation when the surgeon’s team pushed back on some of their promises to us. Our experience could have been much worse.
Thanks Dr. Konstantin

Diagnosis: Smas lifting
Hello, I not only want, but also do not have the moral right not to leave my review about Natasha, the coordinator doctor. I needed to do a Smas lifting. This is one of the serious plastic surgeries and a good result depends on the good qualifications of the doctor. There are many surgeons in Turkey who deal with plastic surgery, when I corresponded with consultants, I felt only the monetary calculation and the speed of arrival. Once again browsing the sites, I am our Expert Medical, and I started communicating with Natasha. The more we talked, the more I realized that she was competent in all matters and had deep knowledge. She is a kind, wonderful, positive person. When choosing a doctor, she sent me the characteristics of many of the best doctors and the cost with all kinds of discounts. And I was glad to inform me that one of the best plastic surgeons, Dr. Emre, did a charity event to pay for it. During my stay at the clinic, I had many questions and Natasha solved them instantly, regardless of her free time from work, she was in touch even at 5 am and late in the evening. You don’t often see such an approach to work, such concern for people! I really want to thank your parents for raising such a wonderful Person. And to you, Natasha, from the bottom of my heart I wish you success in all your endeavors, health and prosperity to you and your family for many years to come!

Plastic surgeons abroad receive a license to practice only when they reach the highest qualification level. The procedures are carried out using the latest developments and expensive equipment. Improving appearance through a visual decrease in age by 5-15 years is achieved.
Surgeons use the most advanced techniques to ensure:
removal of deep and small mimic wrinkles;
rejuvenation of the skin.
The effect persists for life if the patient adheres to the recommendations (leads a regular life, chooses a correct food system).
Basic techniques and their features
Facelifting by non-surgical and surgical interventions is very popular. It is made through:
Contour plastics. Removal or relocation of fat cells (liposuction, lipofilling). It allows doing without a scalpel (only devices and injections).
Invasive methods (SMAS-lifting, small or circular plastics, reconstruction).
The specialist can recommend the lifting method preliminarily after studying the photographs in which the face is clearly visible.
SMAS facelifting abroad is considered the most effective method to overcome the aging pro
cess. There is no impact on the epidermis but the layer of small muscles and nerves underneath is exposed to impact. The doctor works as a jeweler, excising or hemming loose tissues that have lost their elasticity and tone.
A facelift in the best clinics in Turkey guarantees high efficiency and absolute health safety.
Western techniques are in demand thanks to a thorough preliminary diagnosis and development of an individual treatment plan. Positive dynamics are observed immediately after the procedure.
Risks and contraindications
There is a generally accepted list of contraindications when it is better to postpone facelift:
blood-clotting disorder;
inflammatory processes, including ARVI;
diseases of the skin, endocrine, respiratory or cardiovascular system;
hepatic or renal failure, diabetes mellitus.
A rehabilitation complex consisting of medications and cosmetic preparations, according to the individual prescription of a doctor helps to accelerate tissue regeneration and consolidate positive developments.
Experts Medical will find the optimal solution to any problem: experienced doctors, leading clinics in the world. We will do our best to make you go this way comfortably with successful results!
Will there be bruising and swelling after a facelift?
Modern plastic surgery aims to minimize discomfort and speed up recovery. That is why leading specialists in Turkey use hemostatic sutures during facelifts and neck lifts.
This advanced technique allows the surgeon to precisely control small blood vessels during surgery. The result: a significant reduction in bruising and swelling in the postoperative period. This is not just a cosmetic bonus, but a guarantee of faster healing and comfortable recovery, because the absence of large hematomas contributes to better tissue regeneration.
This approach guarantees that you will achieve the desired aesthetic result and enjoy it much sooner, without a long period of visible traces of the procedure.
Facelift in Turkey: what are the benefits for patients?
A face lifting Turkey (rhytidectomy) is not just an opportunity to update your appearance but also a chance to save money without sacrificing quality. Here are some key benefits that attract foreign patients:
The professionalism of doctors. Turkish plastic surgeons are trained in leading medical centers in the world. Their qualifications and extensive experience are on par with the best Western specialists.
Modern technologies. Turkish clinics invest in advanced medical equipment and technologies, which allow diagnostics and operations to be carried out with high accuracy and minimal risks.
Affordable prices. The cost of facelift in Turkey is significantly lower than in the USA or England.
Individual approach. According to reviews, face lifting Turkey includes a full range of services, from consultation to post-operative care. At the same time, doctors take into account the individual needs of each patient.
Comfort and convenience. Many clinics offer packages of services. Therefore, facelift surgery in Turkey may include basic diagnostics and airport transfers in the price.
Geographical location. A facelift in Turkey can be convenient as it is located between Europe and Asia with good air connections, making the trip less tiring.
Cultural bonuses. In addition to undergoing facelift surgery in Turkey, patients can enjoy the local culture and go shopping.
What is a mini face lift and what is the price in Turkey?
Mini face lift in Turkey is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting minor age-related changes in the skin and soft tissues. This facelift surgery in Turkey is less invasive compared to a full facelift and usually focuses on specific areas such as the lower half of the face and neck. The recovery time after a mini-lift is much shorter and the scars are less noticeable than after a classic operation.
Various mini face lift techniques are available in Turkish clinics, including S-lift, MACS-lift, and QuickLift. These methods differ in the type of incisions, their location, and the degree of skin tightening. The choice of technique depends on the individual needs of the patient and the recommendations of the surgeon. Consultation can be obtained online from a leading specialist in facelifting in Istanbul.
Who needs to make a mini face lift?
A mini facelift is suitable for middle-aged people who are starting to notice the first signs of aging such as fine wrinkles, loss of skin firmness, and slight changes in facial contour.
This procedure is ideal for those patients who require minimal intervention with maximum effect.
How much does a mini skin lift cost?
If you would like to make a mini face lift in Turkey, the price will pleasantly surprise you. Clinics offer qualified surgeons and modern methods that will allow you to restore youth and freshness to your face.
Depending on the chosen clinic and the popularity of the doctor, a mini face lift price in Turkey can be up to $3000. Often the package of services includes general anesthesia and medications after surgery.
Why do patients choose to make a facelifting in Istanbul?
Rhytidectomy is a popular facelift surgery in Istanbul. Unlike a mini facelift, a rhytidectomy is a more complex procedure and can affect larger areas of the face and neck. This makes it an ideal choice for people with more pronounced signs of skin aging such as deep wrinkles, loss of skin firmness, and significant changes in facial contour. The most famous facelift clinics are located in Istanbul, where facelifting operations are performed by some of the best specialists in the world.
In addition to a facelift, in Istanbul, you can undergo effective non-invasive rejuvenation procedures. Many of them do not yet practice in other countries with less developed medicine.
How is rhytidectomy performed and who should do it?
Radical facial tissue redistribution is possible only with rhytidectomy (classical facelift). In this method, the surgeon makes incisions around the contour of the face and neck, then separates the skin from the underlying tissue and muscle. After this, the doctor redistributes and, if necessary, removes excess facial fat and excess skin. Then a moderate stretch and tightening are performed by fixing the skin in its new place.
This method is considered one of the most effective for achieving noticeable and long-term results. But it also involves a longer recovery period compared to less invasive facelift methods. If the surgeon used non-absorbable sutures, they will need to be removed after a while. Due to tissue scarring, small marks from the operation may remain. To remove scars, it will be enough to use hardware skin resurfacing.
Key benefits of rhytidectomy:
the procedure is universal – suitable for men and women over 40 years old;
the skin becomes tense in all areas of the face (the neck and décolleté area may be involved);
a one-step eyebrow lift occurs;
rejuvenation occurs even in the presence of very loose skin.
The operation will allow you to feel more confident even at 70 years old. Many celebrities of the 80s underwent rhytidectomies to look decades younger at their age.
Photos: facelift Turkey before and after surgery
Most celebrities keep secrets about which specialists they turn to for plastic surgery. But it is obvious to fans that Internet and TV stars change their appearance, sometimes even radically. According to insider information, famous models and actresses often receive facelift services in Turkey, as confidentiality is maintained there.
The famous British model Katie Price mentioned in one of her interviews that she underwent body plastic surgery and a facelift in Turkey. The result is an acquired taste, but it all depends on the patient’s goals.
Katie Price, model, TV star.
What could be the result of a facelift in Turkey before and after if you want to look younger and more natural?
The main goal for most people is to tighten the skin, restore a clear oval face, and get rid of ptosis of the cheeks. Modern cosmetic facelift surgery in Turkey allows achieving very good skin rejuvenation results.

What trendy facial rejuvenation treatments are available in Turkey?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical procedure that tightens and firms the skin. This method has become a real breakthrough in the field of aesthetic medicine, because it gives a visible anti-aging effect.
Ultrasound technology allows waves to be applied to certain levels of the skin without affecting the surface layers. This heats the tissue and stimulates collagen production, which gives a tightened appearance to the face. Redness will persist for some time, which will completely disappear within a day.
HIFU facelift usually lasts from 30 minutes to an hour. The procedure does not require pain relief and a long recovery period (it takes place without stitches). Patients can see facial changes within a few weeks after the procedure, and the full effect becomes noticeable after about 2 months.
HIFU is particularly effective for correcting fine wrinkles, lifting drooping brows, and improving overall facial contour. It is suitable for middle-aged and older people who want to improve the condition of their skin without surgery.
How much does a HIFU hardware facelift in Turkey cost?
The cost of a HIFU facelift starts at $600 per session. Typically, 1 treatment procedure per year is required to reduce wrinkles and visibly tighten the skin. However, this procedure cannot deal with deep creases and severe ptosis. Therefore, it cannot replace a classic facelift for people over 50 years of age.
Visible lifting without surgery: how is it done in Turkey?
Most non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures are good for people under 45 years of age. Some techniques are used preventively in order to prevent the formation of skin folds, lightly tighten the neck, and so on. For such a gentle facelift in Turkey, cosmetologists use hardware methods, Botox-based preparations, and fillers.
Why do foreigners often turn to Turkish cosmetologists in aesthetic medicine clinics?
Foreign patients turn to specialists in Turkish clinics to receive dental care. Most often they want to perform the installation of veneers and dental implantation. Medical tourism allows people to create a perfect smile at a more affordable price than would be possible in countries with expensive dental care. While patients are waiting for dental onlays or implants to be made, they undergo procedures of facelifting in Istanbul, often using non-surgical techniques.
Turkish aesthetic centers use modern drugs to improve skin texture and prevent aging. Among them are Botox injections, fillers to add volume to the face, and PDRN to saturate the skin. Bruising and swelling may be minor and disappear quickly.
This way, patients receive a quick transformation effect without rehabilitation.
Secret makeover: how is it possible to slow down the aging process?
Turkish aesthetic medicine is able to satisfy the wishes of any client. Therefore, people with different capabilities and requirements come to this country.
Cosmetic enhancement is possible through a wide range of techniques and products. Among celebrities, a set of procedures to improve appearance with a rejuvenating effect is called Secret Makeover.
As an example, the amazing transformation of Shirley Ballos (English ballroom dancing star, judge at international Latin dance competitions). She underwent a set of procedures for €5,600 and began to look 10 years younger (photo from the Irish beauty portal EVOKE). The main changes include getting rid of age spots, eliminating purse-string wrinkles and crow’s feet, improving the jawline, and creating a smoother neck.
If you want to achieve the same transformation, and add significant or small touches to your flawless appearance, contact consultants of Experts Medical. Coordinators will select for you the best specialists not only for facelifts in Turkey but also for any aesthetic procedures.
