Dr. Kuyubaşı'S PERSPECTIVES

AI-assisted profile summary
naturallastingharmoniouscomprehensive

Signature technique

Dr. Selçuk Kuyubaşı's practice is distinctly focused on deep plane facelift surgery, a sophisticated and advanced approach to comprehensive facial rejuvenation. He specializes in sub-SMAS dissection techniques, which are central to the deep plane method. This technique differs significantly from traditional facelifts by addressing aging at multiple tissue levels; it involves repositioning the deeper superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer along with the overlying skin as a single, integrated unit. This meticulous approach allows for more natural-looking and enduring results by maintaining the vital connection between the skin and underlying tissues.

Recovery view

Dr. Selçuk Kuyubaşı emphasizes a clear understanding of the recovery journey following deep plane facelift surgery. He informs patients that the initial phase typically involves swelling and bruising, which generally subsides within approximately two weeks. While most individuals can comfortably resume their social activities within three to four weeks post-procedure, Dr. Kuyubaşı highlights that the complete and final aesthetic results continue to evolve and refine over several months. This extended period allows the repositioned tissues to fully settle into their new, rejuvenated positions, ensuring the optimal and lasting outcome of the deep plane technique.

Who is a candidate

The procedure is typically best suited for individuals experiencing moderate to severe signs of facial aging. This includes those who present with prominent jowls, deep nasolabial folds, and a noticeable loss of definition along the jawline, as the deep plane technique is designed to effectively address these particular concerns for comprehensive rejuvenation.

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?

International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete.
