Signature technique

Dr. Söylemez' Praxis ist schwerpunktmäßig auf den deep plane Facelift ausgerichtet, eine anspruchsvolle chirurgische Technik, die er für die Gesichtsverjüngung einsetzt. Dieser fortgeschrittene Ansatz beinhaltet die sorgfältige Neupositionierung der SMAS-Schicht (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). Er betont, dass diese Methode entscheidend ist, um Ergebnisse zu erzielen, die natürlich und dauerhaft wirken, insbesondere bei der Behandlung der Mittelgesichts- und Halsregion. Die deep plane Technik erfordert umfangreiche anatomische Kenntnisse und hohe chirurgische Präzision und hebt sich dadurch als spezialisiertes Verfahren innerhalb seines ästhetisch-chirurgischen Leistungsspektrums hervor.

Seine Protokolle sind darauf ausgelegt, in dieser kritischen Zeit eine aufmerksame Begleitung zu gewährleisten, den Patientenkomfort zu fördern und etwaige Anliegen zeitnah zu adressieren. Diese sorgfältige Beachtung der frühen Erholungsphase ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil seiner Patientenversorgungsphilosophie und soll einen reibungslosen und wirkungsvollen Heilungsverlauf unterstützen.

Deep plane facelift surgery represents an advanced rhytidectomy technique that addresses facial aging at the structural level, working beneath the SMAS layer to reposition descended facial tissues. Dr. Söylemez's approach to this procedure involves careful dissection and manipulation of the deep facial planes to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation.

The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) serves as the key anatomical landmark in deep plane surgery. Unlike traditional facelift techniques that merely tighten skin, deep plane methods release and reposition this fibromuscular layer along with its overlying fat compartments.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete.

Dr. Fatih Söylemez provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.

Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years.
