I graduated with honors from Marmara University Faculty of Medicine and completed my specialization in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Akdeniz University. I believe that surgical experience, the selection of the right technique, and personalized planning are crucial in hair restoration. A natural, anatomically appropriate hairline design and a tissue-respecting surgical approach that reduces the risk of complications are essential in hair transplantation. While aiming to reduce the psychological effects of hair loss in both men and women, I also strive to apply medical and scientific supportive treatments and share my experiences globally.

Our patient processes at our clinic
This operation is mostly performed after the age of forty; however, it can also be applied at earlier ages in younger patients with mild sagging in the cheeks by making shorter incisions. If individuals experience early sagging in the cheeks and deep lines on the skin at a younger age and are bothered by this condition, the procedure can be performed without waiting until their forties. In other words, the patient’s expectations are the determining factor regarding the timing of the operation. Particularly good results are obtained in cases of pronounced skin wrinkles and sagging that occur at advanced ages.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is made starting in front of the hairline at the temple area, extending in front of the ear and the earlobe and continuing behind the ear. The incision is placed along the natural facial folds and hidden so that it is not noticeable. The cheek skin is lifted, excess tissues are removed, and the muscles and deep facial structures underneath are tightened and repositioned.
After the operation, swelling and bruising on the face are normal. There may also be minimal discomfort and pain. Postoperative bandaging, ice application, and medication are generally sufficient to reduce these effects. Temporary numbness and skin firmness may occur after facelift surgery. Massage and endermology may be applied to help reduce swelling more quickly. Within a few weeks, you will see a younger and refreshed face free from wrinkles and facial sagging. Your self-confidence will increase!
