Signature technique

La tecnica distintiva del Dott. Canlı è il lifting del piano profondo (deep plane), una procedura avanzata di ringiovanimento facciale che egli enfatizza nella sua pratica. Questo metodo sofisticato va oltre il semplice rassodamento superficiale della pelle, concentrandosi invece sul riposizionamento delle strutture facciali più profonde, in particolare lo strato SMAS (sistema muscoloaponeurotico superficiale). Egli sottolinea che questa tecnica richiede una vasta conoscenza anatomica e precisione chirurgica per ottenere risultati ottimali. Affrontando gli strati muscolari e fasciali sottostanti, il Dott. Canlı mira a creare un ringiovanimento facciale più completo e dall'aspetto naturale, allineandosi con l'enfasi della medicina estetica contemporanea su risultati duraturi e armoniosi per la sua variegata base di pazienti.

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. 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. Mert Canlı 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. Mert Canlı can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
