What Is Facial Aesthetic Surgery?
What procedures are included in facial aesthetics?
Facial aesthetic surgery encompasses all surgical procedures designed to enhance, rejuvenate, or reconstruct facial features to achieve improved appearance and harmony. This includes procedures for the upper face (forehead, brows, eyelids), midface (cheeks, nose), lower face (lips, chin, jawline), and neck. Modern facial aesthetic surgery combines traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology like endoscopic surgery for minimal scarring, ultrasonic tools for precision, and 3D imaging for surgical planning. Beyond individual procedures, today’s approach emphasizes facial harmony – understanding how changes to one feature affect overall appearance. Surgeons now offer comprehensive facial rejuvenation combining multiple procedures, ensuring all modifications work together to create natural, balanced results.
Why Turkey for Facial Aesthetic Surgery?
Turkey’s excellence in facial aesthetics stems from a unique combination of factors. Turkish surgeons often specialize exclusively in facial procedures rather than general plastic surgery, developing exceptional expertise through focus and volume. They perform more facial surgeries monthly than most Western surgeons do annually – a rhinoplasty specialist might complete 30 nose jobs monthly, while a facelift expert performs 20-25 facial rejuvenation procedures.
The cost advantage is remarkable. A comprehensive facial rejuvenation combining facelift, neck lift, and eyelid surgery costing £25,000-£30,000 in London is £8,000-£10,000 in Istanbul, using identical techniques and often performed by surgeons with superior experience. Turkish clinics also excel at combination procedures, understanding how to safely perform multiple surgeries for optimal results with single recovery period.

Turkish facial surgery centers offer:
- Surgeons focused solely on face/neck
- High volumes creating expertise
- Latest technology and techniques

Insider Tip
Consider “Facial Harmony Package” where surgeons plan multiple procedures using 3D imaging to ensure perfect balance. For example, reducing a nose might make a chin look weaker, or lifting brows could emphasize under-eye bags. Turkish clinics excel at this comprehensive planning, often including aesthetic analysis, surgical procedures, and skin treatments in one package. This holistic approach costs £8,000-12,000 for what would be £30,000+ if done separately in the West.
Special Considerations
Ethnic Facial Surgery
Preserving cultural identity:
- Asian facial contouring
- Middle Eastern rhinoplasty
- African American techniques
- Hispanic considerations
- Maintaining ethnic beauty
- Avoiding Westernization
Turkish surgeons’ diverse experience invaluable.
Male Facial Surgery
Masculine enhancement:
- Maintaining male characteristics
- Strong jaw emphasis
- Avoiding feminization
- Natural appearance priority
- Hair transplant combinations
- Growing demand
Different aesthetic goals than female surgery.
Revision Surgery
Correcting previous procedures:
- More complex techniques
- Scar tissue challenges
- Limited tissue availability
- Requires expertise
- Often needs grafting
- Turkish surgeons excel
High-volume experience with corrections.
Facial Feminization
Gender-affirming procedures:
- Forehead contouring
- Rhinoplasty refinement
- Jaw and chin reshaping
- Adam’s apple reduction
- Hairline advancement
- Comprehensive transformation
Specialized expertise required.
Insider Tip
If considering multiple facial procedures, ask about “twilight anesthesia” with local blocks for faster recovery. Turkish anesthesiologists have perfected this technique where you’re sedated but breathing independently, combined with long-acting nerve blocks. Recovery is much faster than general anesthesia, less nausea, and you can often leave same day. Not suitable for all procedures but perfect for combinations like blepharoplasty with mini facelift. This option is rarely offered in the West but common in Turkey.

Quick answers to questions
you may have
Your Most Important Questions, Answered
How do I know which facial procedures I need?
Start with a professional aesthetic analysis that evaluates your facial proportions, aging patterns, and harmony. Computer imaging shows how different procedures would look. Most patients benefit from addressing multiple areas for balanced results rather than single procedures. Your surgeon will recommend priorities based on your concerns and anatomy.
Is it safe to have multiple facial procedures at once?
Yes, when performed by experienced surgeons in accredited facilities. Combining procedures is routine in Turkey – surgeons are skilled at managing longer surgeries safely. Benefits include single anesthesia/recovery, better harmony, and cost savings. There are limits based on surgery duration and your health, but 2-4 procedures are commonly combined.
How long should I stay in Turkey for facial surgery?
Single procedure: 7-10 days minimum. Multiple procedures: 10-14 days recommended. This allows for surgery, initial recovery, suture removal, and follow-up. Complex revisions or extensive procedures may need longer. The extra days ensure you’re stable for flying and any concerns are addressed before leaving.
Will I look natural or "done"?
Modern facial surgery emphasizes natural results. Turkish surgeons understand that the best outcome is when people notice you look great but can’t pinpoint what changed. Techniques preserve your unique features while enhancing harmony. Computer imaging helps ensure you and your surgeon share the same vision for natural enhancement.
What's recovery like for multiple facial procedures?
The first week involves swelling and bruising, well-managed with medication. Week two shows significant improvement. By week three, most people are comfortable in public with makeup. Full recovery takes 6-12 months for complete healing and final results. Having multiple procedures doesn’t necessarily mean longer recovery than single procedures.
How do I choose between different surgeons?
Look for board certification, specialization in facial surgery (not general plastic surgery), high case volumes, and extensive before/after galleries. Many Turkish surgeons specialize exclusively in facial procedures. Check international training, publication record, and whether they teach other surgeons. Personal consultation feeling is also important.
Can facial surgery be combined with dental work?
Yes, many patients combine facial surgery with aesthetic dentistry or dental implants. Some procedures complement each other perfectly – rhinoplasty with orthodontics, or facelift with smile makeover. Timing depends on specific procedures. Your surgical and dental teams can coordinate for optimal results.
