What is bichectomy (cheek aesthetics) in Turkey?
Bichectomy or cheek aesthetics surgery is a surgical operation that involves the removal of fat pads in the cheeks to thin the facial contours and shape the face. With this surgery, cheekbones become more prominent thanks to thinner cheeks. In this way, the jaw line can be shaped. Bichectomy surgery can be performed in 15 minutes under local anaesthesia.
What is the age limit for bichectomy - buccal fat removal?
The age limit for Bichectomy (buccal fat removal) is 25. After 25 years of age, every male and female patient can have thinner cheeks by having this surgery. The reason for waiting for this age limit to get rid of plump cheeks is that the fat pads in the cheek continue to shrink for a certain period of time. In other words, the natural melting process of the fat in the cheek should be expected until the age of 25 and an evaluation should be made on the final state of these pads. Therefore, it is not appropriate to perform bichectomy surgery at younger ages.

What is face lift (rhytidectomy) surgery?
Face-lift surgery is a surgical operation performed to restore the elasticity and tension of the facial skin that deteriorates for various reasons. Facial skin deteriorates for many reasons such as aging, stress, inappropriate lifestyle, unhealthy diet, genetic structure, alcohol and smoking. This deterioration occurs in the form of spot formation, increased wrinkles and sagging.
Eyebrows and eyelids drooping, under-eye deformations can also be seen. Facelift surgery improves these deteriorations and makes the face look younger and more vibrant. Eyelid aesthetics and chin augmentation aesthetics can also be combined with this surgery.

What is a good age to get a face lift?
Facelift surgery is usually performed at the age of 40 and above. For most patients, the 50s and 60s, when the signs of aging make themselves felt, may be more appropriate. The deterioration of the skin depends on many factors as mentioned above. Since being affected by these factors will vary according to the person, the age of facelift surgery may vary according to the examination of the plastic surgeon and the patient’s demands. Facelift surgery can be performed even at a younger age depending on the need arising due to a trauma. If you are over a certain age and have age-related wrinkles and sagging on your face, it may be useful to consult a plastic surgeon.
What is neck lift (platysmaplasty) surgery?
Neck lift surgery is a surgical operation performed to improve sagging in the neck area due to factors such as age, weight gain and loss. In those with a small lower jaw structure, the skin under the chin and on the neck may begin to sag in the early period. Due to the excess skin structure, the edges of the chin become prominent and vertical band formation occurs in the neck. This causes discomfort for most patients. Surgical techniques are very effective in achieving long-term and satisfactory results. If there are wrinkles around the eyes, cheeks and forehead along with sagging in the neck, this surgery can be performed in combination with facelift.
