Brenda's Short Scar Lower Face-Necklift Journey in Istanbul

Hello everyone, this is again Özlem, the international patient coordinator of Dr. Cem Berkay SINACI Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. Today I want to share our lovely patient Brenda's story with you.

Brenda, a vibrant and active woman hailing from the sunny landscapes of California, United States, had always embraced life with enthusiasm. She cherished her active lifestyle and social connections, but as she approached her late fifties, she began noticing unwelcome changes in her reflection. The subtle signs of aging were becoming more pronounced: a softening jawline, an increasingly tired appearance around her eyes, and a noticeable laxity in her neck. These changes, while natural, began to erode her confidence, making her feel that her outer appearance no longer reflected the youthful energy she felt within.

A Search for 'The Best Necklift Surgeon in Turkey'

"I looked in the mirror and didn't quite recognize the vibrant person I knew I was," Brenda shared. "My jawline had lost its definition, and my neck just seemed... heavy. I wanted to feel as energetic on the outside as I did on the inside, without looking 'done' or unnatural."

Driven by a desire for a genuine rejuvenation, Brenda embarked on extensive research. She was not interested in temporary fixes but sought a lasting, natural-looking transformation. Her search led her to advanced techniques, and it was the concept of a deep plane facelift that particularly caught her attention. This modern approach, which repositions the deeper facial tissues and muscles rather than merely tightening the skin, promised more enduring and natural results, avoiding the stretched or "wind-swept" look associated with older facelift methods.

Her research eventually brought her to the doorstep of Dr. Cem Berkay SINACI in Istanbul. She was deeply impressed by his international training in the field. Dr. SINACI’s emphasis on the preservation deep plane facelift, a technique that respects and repositions the natural anatomical structures of the face, resonated perfectly with Brenda's desire for a natural outcome. The idea was not to change her face, but to restore its youthful contours.

During her initial virtual consultation with Dr. SINACI, Brenda felt an immediate connection. His calm, professional demeanor, combined with a clear explanation of the surgical plan, instilled a profound sense of trust. "Dr. SINACI didn't just tell me what he would do; he explained why," Brenda recounted. "He walked me through the benefits of the short scar deep plane lower face & neck lift, detailing how it would address my specific concerns about my jawline and deep neck lift with minimal visible scarring. He also patiently answered all my questions about the recovery process and what to expect."

Beyond her primary concerns about the lower face and neck, Brenda also discussed the persistent puffiness and dark circles under her eyes. Dr. SINACI recommended a lower blepharoplasty to address these issues, explaining how it would complement her facelift by refreshing the entire orbital area, making her eyes appear brighter and more open.

To further enhance the quality and texture of her skin, Dr. SINACI proposed integrating CO2 laser resurfacing into her treatment plan. This powerful laser treatment targets fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, promoting significant collagen production and yielding a smoother, more radiant complexion. The synergy of CO2 laser with facelift is a recognized strategy for achieving facial rejuvenation, addressing both laxity and skin surface imperfections in a single, well-planned approach.

Brenda’s decision to travel for her facelift in Istanbul was significant, yet it quickly felt like the right choice. She had heard positive stories about facelift in Turkey, often highlighting the blend of world-class medical expertise with personalized care. "The idea of combining a transformative surgery with the unique experience of visiting Istanbul was very appealing," she noted. "But primarily, it was Dr. SINACI's reputation and his specialized deep plane approach that solidified my decision."

Welcome to Istanbul, Türkiye

Upon her arrival in Istanbul, Brenda was met with a seamless and supportive experience. The clinic’s staff were attentive, ensuring her comfort and guiding her through every step, from pre-operative assessments to post-operative care. The facility itself was modern and impeccably maintained, reflecting the high standards she had anticipated.

The day of her surgery was met with a mix of anticipation and calm confidence. Brenda knew she was in expert hands. The short scar deep plane lower face & neck lift was meticulously performed, along with the lower blepharoplasty and the CO2 laser resurfacing. Dr. SINACI's precision and artistic eye ensured that every aspect of the procedure contributed to a harmonious and natural outcome.

Her recovery journey was diligently managed. To optimize healing and accelerate the reduction of swelling, Dr. SINACI incorporated an innovative therapy: hyperbaric oxygen after facelift. Brenda underwent two sessions, which she found incredibly beneficial. "The hyperbaric oxygen therapy was remarkable," she recalled. "I felt it truly made a difference in my healing process, helping me recover more quickly and comfortably than I had anticipated." This advanced approach underscores Dr. SINACI's commitment to leveraging the best available technologies for patient well-being and superior results.

As the initial recovery period passed and the swelling subsided, Brenda began to see the remarkable transformation. Her jawline was once again crisp and defined, her neck smooth and elegant, and her eyes sparkled with a renewed youthful vibrancy. The deep lines and dullness that had once bothered her were gone, replaced by a refreshed and natural radiance.

"It's more than I ever hoped for," Brenda exclaimed with genuine joy. "I look like myself, just... years younger and more refreshed. My friends tell me I look fantastic, but they can't quite pinpoint what's changed – which is exactly what I wanted. Dr. SINACI didn't just perform a facelift; he restored my confidence and reflected my inner self."
