Patients benefit from advanced technology, competitive pricing, and a comprehensive care approach that ensures a safe, comfortable, and natural-looking facial transformation.
What is a Revision Facelift and why is it complex?
A Revision Facelift is performed to correct or improve unsatisfactory results from a previous surgery.

Dr. Şendur provides a personalised recovery protocol and regular follow-ups to ensure a smooth and comfortable healing journey.
Can I combine a Facelift with other facial procedures?
Yes, combining a Facelift with complementary procedures is often referred to as a Full Facial Rejuvenation.
