Dr. Akıncı's Surgical Approach

The deep plane facelift technique employed by surgeons like Dr. Kadri Akıncı represents an evolution in facial rejuvenation surgery.

The deep plane facelift technique employed by surgeons like Dr. Kadri Akıncı represents an evolution in facial rejuvenation surgery. This advanced procedure addresses facial aging by repositioning the SMAS layer and its associated structures rather than simply tightening superficial tissues.

The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) forms a crucial anatomical plane in the face, connecting facial muscles to overlying skin. During deep plane dissection, the surgeon carefully releases specific ligaments that tether this layer, allowing for comprehensive repositioning of facial tissues.

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. Kadri Akıncı 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. 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. Kadri Akıncı can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
