Signature technique

Dr. Canlıs Schwerpunkttechnik ist der Deep-Plane-Facelift, ein fortgeschrittenes Gesichtsverjüngungsverfahren, das er in seiner Praxis besonders betont. Diese anspruchsvolle Methode geht über eine oberflächliche Hautstraffung hinaus und konzentriert sich stattdessen auf die Verlagerung tieferer Gesichtsstrukturen, insbesondere der SMAS-Schicht (superfiziales muskuloaponeurotisches System). Er hebt hervor, dass diese Technik umfangreiche anatomische Kenntnisse und chirurgische Präzision erfordert, um optimale Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Durch die Adressierung der tiefer liegenden Muskel- und Faszienschichten strebt Dr. Canlı eine umfassendere und natürlich wirkende Gesichtsverjüngung an, was dem Schwerpunkt der zeitgenössischen ästhetischen Medizin auf langanhaltenden und harmonischen Ergebnissen für seine vielfältige Patientengruppe entspricht.

The deep plane facelift technique employed by surgeons like Dr. Mert Canlı involves precise dissection beneath the SMAS layer to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This advanced approach differs significantly from traditional facelift methods by addressing the deeper anatomical structures that contribute to facial aging.

The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) serves as a fibromuscular layer that connects facial muscles to overlying skin. In deep plane techniques, surgeons work beneath this layer, allowing for more natural tissue repositioning without tension on the skin surface.

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.

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.
