Signature technique

A prática do Dr. Tolga Aksan distingue-se pela sua particular experiência em cirurgia de lifting facial deep plane, que ele considera uma abordagem sofisticada e fundamental para o rejuvenescimento facial. Esta técnica avançada envolve o reposicionamento meticuloso da camada sub-SMAS, ou sistema musculoaponeurótico superficial, abordando diretamente os tecidos subjacentes responsáveis pelo envelhecimento. Ao trabalhar sob esta camada crítica, o Dr. Aksan consegue resultados de aparência mais natural e significativamente mais duradouros em comparação com os métodos tradicionais de lifting facial. O seu compromisso com esta técnica garante que os tecidos faciais são reposicionados sem criar tensão indevida na pele, levando a resultados mais suaves, autênticos e harmoniosos para os seus pacientes.

Recovery view

O Dr. Tolga Aksan enfatiza um cronograma de recuperação estruturado para seus pacientes de lifting facial deep plane, guiando-os por cada fase do processo de cicatrização. Ele observa que o inchaço e os hematomas iniciais geralmente diminuem dentro de 10 a 14 dias após o procedimento. Os pacientes podem geralmente antecipar o retorno às atividades sociais na terceira semana, permitindo um retorno gradual às suas rotinas diárias. Os resultados completos e finais do lifting facial deep plane são tipicamente observados por volta dos seis meses, à medida que os tecidos se assentam e amadurecem completamente. Essa definição clara de expectativas ajuda os pacientes a se prepararem para sua jornada e a entenderem a progressão de sua recuperação.

Who is a candidate

Essa abordagem agrada a indivíduos que buscam um visual harmonioso e rejuvenescido que resista ao teste do tempo.

Dr. Aksan's Surgical Approach

MD Aksan's approach to deep plane facelift involves precise manipulation of the facial architecture beneath the SMAS layer. This sub-SMAS dissection technique allows for comprehensive repositioning of descended facial tissues while preserving natural facial expressions and movement.

MD Aksan's approach to deep plane facelift involves precise manipulation of the facial architecture beneath the SMAS layer. This sub-SMAS dissection technique allows for comprehensive repositioning of descended facial tissues while preserving natural facial expressions and movement.

The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) represents a fibromuscular layer that connects facial muscles to overlying skin. Traditional facelifts often address only the skin or superficial SMAS, while deep plane techniques work beneath this layer for more substantial and lasting improvements.

Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport.

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. Tolga Aksan 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. Tolga Aksan can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
