Frequently Asked Questions
Following a facial operation, it is necessary to stay in Istanbul for a certain period to allow for close monitoring by your doctor. This period typically ranges from 3 to 6 days, depending on the extent and scope of the procedure.
The first 24-48 hours post-surgery are critical. During this time, your doctor will assess your general condition, check your dressings, and evaluate any potential risks of complications. The swelling (edema) and bruising that occur after the surgery will reach their peak within the first few days. Resting at your hospital or hotel is intended to make this process more comfortable and to help the swelling subside more quickly with the right interventions. It takes 10-14 days for the swelling and bruising to resolve completely.
Istanbul is one of the world's capitals for aesthetic surgery, known for its world-class medical infrastructure and highly experienced surgeons. Our clinic focuses on achieving excellent results by working with one of Turkey's top plastic surgeons, Prof. Dr. Emre, in fully-equipped, A-list hospitals. We don't just focus on surgical success; we transform the entire process into a stress-free and comfortable experience for you with all-inclusive services such as 5-star accommodation, all your transfers, translation in your native language, and a private nurse.

Your surgery will be performed personally by Prof. Dr. Emre, an internationally recognized, European Board (EBOPRAS) certified Plastic Surgeon. With 25 years of vast experience, he specializes in Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift surgery. This advanced technique is renowned for delivering more natural and long-lasting results. Prof. Dr. Emre is also highly skilled in performing combined facial procedures, such as facelifts with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or nose surgery (rhinoplasty), in a single operation.
Yes. Combined surgeries are one of Prof. Dr. Emre's areas of expertise. We can combine various procedures based on your needs, starting with the deep plane face and neck lift, and including eyelid surgery, brow lifts, fat injections, and chin or cheek aesthetics. This allows you to achieve a holistic result with a single anesthesia and one recovery period.
The process starts when you contact us through our website or other communication channels. Our health consultants will ask you to send photos of your face from different angles. These photos are reviewed directly by Prof. Dr. Emre to create a personalized surgical plan for you. We will then hold an online consultation to discuss all the details and answer your questions. Afterward, we will plan your travel and accommodation arrangements for you.
The duration of the surgery typically ranges from 2 to 7 hours, depending on the complexity and number of procedures being performed. Combined surgeries naturally take longer, while a single procedure can be completed in a shorter time.
Absolutely not. One of our top priorities is ensuring our patients can express themselves comfortably. We provide a professional translator in your native language who will accompany you from the very beginning until you are discharged. We guarantee you will have clear communication with your doctor, nurses, and our entire team at all times.
For your safety and initial post-operative care, you will need to stay in Istanbul for 3 to 6 days after your surgery. This period is sufficient for Prof. Dr. Emre to conduct your first check-ups, remove any drains, and ensure you are safe to fly back to your country.
The period of most intense swelling and bruising is the first few days after surgery. It generally takes 10 to 15 days for these symptoms to subside significantly, allowing you to comfortably return to your social life. By the end of this period, most people will not be able to tell you've had an operation.
The complete healing of your body and tissues, the total resolution of all swelling, and the final settling of the skin takes between 6 months and 1 year. While you will begin to see your results in the first few weeks, it takes about a year of patience to see the final, most refined, and aesthetic outcome of the surgery.
With his 25 years of experience, Prof. Dr. Emre is a master at placing surgical incisions in the most discreet locations, such as within the hairline and in the natural creases in front of and behind the ear. Once the healing process is complete (after about a year), these scars fade to match the color of your skin, becoming almost unnoticeable
