I had concerns about my breast augmentation process, and honestly, I didn't know much about it. I was a bit stressed until I spoke with Dr. Bükem. My doubts disappeared, replaced by excitement. I was so curious about how it would look. Imagine a painter who adds such depth to a painting with their brushstrokes that you can't take your eyes off it; you wonder if it can be done so beautifully. Dr. Bükem is a master of this. Thank you so much, doctor, you've added beauty to my beauty...

I don't know which other doctor could have prepared me for a combination surgery in such a short time as 2 days :) Despite the excitement and anxiety I felt before the surgery, I always felt safe thanks to my doctor's approach. Her dedication to her work, attention to detail, calmness, and genuine listening to her patients were invaluable to me. 🤍 Although only a short time has passed since my surgery, I am already very happy with the result. I'm so glad I trusted her. Dr. Bükem is a doctor I can wholeheartedly recommend, both for her medical skills and her approach to her patients. Thank you so much for your effort, attention, and care. 🌸

Where is Dr. Cüce located?

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
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. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Cüce provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
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. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues (including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments) rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Cüce can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
