Signature technique

Dr. Salih's signature aesthetic technique is the deep plane facelift, which he considers the cornerstone of his practice in Baltimore. This advanced method involves working beneath the SMAS layer to meticulously reposition deeper facial structures, rather than merely tightening the skin. His extensive experience, spanning nearly five decades, has seen him practice through significant evolutions in facelift surgery, making him well-versed in this approach. He highlights that the deep plane technique is widely recognized for its ability to produce natural-looking results, restoring youthful contours along the cheeks, jawline, and neck without the 'pulled' appearance sometimes associated with older surgical methods.

Ask Dr. Colakoglu about the technique

Recovery view

Dr. Salih emphasizes that recovery is a crucial component of the deep plane facelift experience, highlighting the importance of an experienced surgeon guiding patients through each phase. He notes that individuals undergoing this procedure should anticipate common post-operative effects such as swelling and bruising, which are typically most noticeable during the initial two weeks. Following this period, patients can generally expect a progressive return to their regular social activities. His approach underscores the structured nature of the recovery process, ensuring patients are well-informed about what to expect as they heal and gradually resume their daily routines.
