An Exceptional Experience of Face&Necklifting in 45 yo female patient with Prof. Atacan Emre Koçman
I recently underwent a face and neck lift as well as a lower blepharoplasty and lip lift with Prof. Atakan Emre Koçman, an experienced facial reconstructive surgeon from Istanbul, and I was very satisfied with the results and the whole experience.
I spent a lot of time researching different surgical techniques and different surgeons before deciding to have the surgery, and ultimately chose this particular doctor because of his experience in deep plasty techniques. The surgery was done under general anesthesia and lasted five hours, everything went well. I felt completely comfortable and was able to return to my normal life almost immediately. I spent 2 nights in the clinic and then moved to a hotel for further rest and recovery. I had absolutely no pain after the surgery, just a little swelling, which was to be expected.
What struck me was how much Dr. Kotchman genuinely cared about my well-being. He constantly checked to make sure I was comfortable and answered any questions I had before and during recovery. It is rare to find a surgeon with such a perfect combination of technical knowledge and deep empathy for his patients.
I am very pleased with the results and would recommend Prof. Atakan Emre Kocman to anyone considering undergoing similar procedures. I will definitely come back here for a revision when I need one in 10-15 years.
I would also like to recommend the IME team who organized everything (all logistics, from the airport and to Istanbul, blood tests, hotel accommodation, etc.), the constant supervision and support from Dr. Vadim and Ozan.

Hello!
My name is Ludmila. On December 21, 2024, I had surgery on my face and neck, as well as blepharoplasty. It was not an easy decision and you need a professional surgeon for such an operation. Based on my experience, I can say that I chose Dr. Nika, who turned out to be not only a wonderful doctor, but also a tremendous moral support. Her incredible calmness and boundless patience are hard to describe in words.
She stayed in touch even when she was with her family outside of her busy work schedule. Dr. Nika is more than just a doctor, her approach to her patients and professional care make her special. Despite my anxiety, she constantly put me at ease, instilling confidence and a sense of security. It has now been a month since my surgery and she is still supporting me with the necessary guidance. I felt comfortable, pain free and the results were beyond my expectations. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for her care and professionalism ♥️

My name is Anna. I found information on the internet that it was possible to have a face and neck lift surgery in Istambul. I was connected with Dr. Vadim, who was my co-director, berator before the surgery. Very attentive, caring understanding person. He helped me very well in everything, gave me excellent advice, was a good moral support throughout this time. If there were any questions, Vadim answered all my questions lightning fast. His work is just great. It was so supportive and helpful.
He offered a package that I could not refuse.
When you arrive in Istambul you are met by a comfortable car that takes you to the Hotel they have already booked. Everything in the hotel is decent, I liked everything very much.
The next day the car takes me to the clinic, where I with the interpreter Catherine, a wonderful woman successfully pass the necessary examination, then the operation. The interpreter is always with you if necessary. Then the car takes you back to the hotel. The interpreter is always in touch with you.
And also if you go with someone with two, then your companion, the hotel and breakfast in the morning for free, just cool!!!!.
After a week the car takes you to the airport and it’s all no problem.
I am very happy that I chose this firm with these wonderful people.
They are Dr. Vadim, translator Ekaterina and my plastic surgeon Emre Kochman.
I am very grateful for your excellent work, God bless you and keep making people happy.

Although I had always tried to take care of my face – without fanaticism, but with regular and, admittedly, not cheap procedures – at some point I realized that cosmetology was no longer coping, and it was time to turn to plastic surgery to regain my confidence. I have never been afraid of doctors: I have already had blepharoplasty and APTOS threads. But now there was a question of choosing a clinic, as I now live in Spain. It was impossible to go to Moscow, where I had done eyelid lift before, and I did not consider Spanish doctors.
And then my daughter came to my aid. I trusted her advice – she is more meticulous than me and wanted to correct age changes herself. Our choice turned out to be a good one. Dr. Op.Dr. Hakan TEYMUR performed the surgery masterfully. His professionalism and incredible calmness gave us complete confidence, so we were not worried at all before the operation. Special thanks to his assistant Akilay: she was with us 24/7, incredibly caring, attentive and responsive. While communicating with her, I even felt something maternal, so much so she disposes of herself.
The professionalism and approach of the doctor impressed me, and the result exceeded expectations. Plastic surgery really becomes a starting point for a new self. My daughter and I are very satisfied!

The cost of lifting in Turkey is much lower than in European countries for doctors with a similar level of qualification with a significantly higher quality of Turkish service.
In Turkey, clinics change equipment to brand new equipment every 5 years on average. Therefore, Turkey is one of the countries with the highest level of medical equipment in the world.
Since Turkey is the capital of plastic surgery in the world, patients from all over the world come there.
Thanks to this, plastic surgeons have gained tremendous experience and a strong reputation around the world.
Turkey is a popular tourist destination. Therefore, patients have the opportunity to combine pleasant impressions from exploring a new country and wonderful transformations.
A facelift in Turkey is a common type of aesthetic surgery that involves removing visual signs of aging on the face and neck. There are several types of facelift operations. Therefore, it is important to discuss with a plastic surgeon in advance what is best for you.
Why do people choose to make a facelift in Turkey? Facelift is a serious procedure, which in most cases involves the use of anesthesia. Here the high qualification of all specialists who take part in the operation process is important. A facelift in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, and other major Turkish cities is a reliable choice for those patients who need a guarantee of the safety and quality of the performed plastic surgery.
Patients who would like to make a facelift in Turkey for the first time should consider:
Istanbul is a key medical destination in Turkey, which is preferred by patients from abroad. The main advantages of the city for facial aesthetics:
What are the prices in Istanbul for a facelift? The cost of a facelift in Istanbul will depend on the type of operation and the amount of work of the plastic surgeon. The estimated price for a specific procedure can be clarified with the coordinator of Beauty by Experts Medical.
All anti-aging surgeries performed by Turkish doctors are aimed at achieving patient satisfaction. Depending on age, skin condition, and individual health indicators, surgeons select the safest and most effective methods. With the help of rhytidectomy (facelift), the following problems of aging are solved:
Main types of operations:
Rhytidectomy SMAS. This is a lift, where a strong muscular-fibrous layer is involved. The operation is aimed at the rejuvenation of the lower third of the face. During this surgical procedure, the doctor tightens the muscles and trim excess skin, and fat from the cheeks and lower face. The SMAS surgical facelift is a variation of the traditional facelift.In Turkish clinics of aesthetics and plastic surgery, innovative methods of rejuvenation are available to patients. Most often, these procedures are combined with dental treatment or a whole-body check-up.
Among foreign patients, the following rejuvenating facial techniques are most in demand:
The author’s technique of the Turkish plastic surgeon Bulent Cihantimur
Spider Web is a rejuvenating procedure that is used to tighten the skin in the face, neck, chest, arms, and even buttocks. This is a low-traumatic skin lifting method that does not require general anesthesia. Local anesthesia in the area where the threads are located is given to the patient.
How is the Spider-Web thread lifting performed? It is made through small incisions up to 2 mm, the 
doctor inserts needles with threads at the end under the skin. Next, the doctor forms a cobweb of these threads in the subcutaneous layer. The duration of the procedure depends on the part of the body on which Spider Web is performed. For example, a facelift will take no more than 20 minutes.
The threads used in the Spider-Web technique have a special composition. Over time, they are overgrown with natural collagen, making the skin supple and toned. This gives a prolonged effect of rejuvenation. On average, a person looks 8-10 years younger.
Rhytidectomy is a facelift surgery. This option is most often performed when fillers and Botox do not give the desired result. Depending on the condition of the skin, a circular facelift can be performed both at 40 and 70 years old. The operation has an excellent effect: the contours of the face are improved, the cheekbones become more expressive, and the forehead is completely smoothed out. Sagging of the outer corners of the eyelids will also be eliminated, so the eyes will also look younger.
How long does the effect last after a circular facelift in Turkey? The result of rhytidectomy can last more than 7 years if the patient follows the doctor’s recommendations. First of all, it is weight control and skin protection from ultraviolet radiation.
Will scars be visible after a facelift in Turkey? Specialists of Turkish clinics insert sutures in such a way that traces of them are not noticeable. To do this, they make incisions in natural folds and behind the ears. In any case, after a while, these minor imperfections on the skin can be easily removed with peels or laser resurfacing.
Will facial features change after rhytidectomy? Qualified plastic surgeons in Turkey perform operations in such a way that the facial features of patients are preserved. Immediately after a circular lift, it may seem to you that they are somewhat deformed. However, as soon as the puffiness subsides, the face will acquire the usual features; only it will look much younger.
If patients have no contraindications to plastic surgery, then Turkish doctors take up rejuvenation in people over 70 years old. If you are overweight, additional procedures can be performed, such as liposuction of the cheeks or second chin. So you can remove excess adipose tissue and improve the contour of the face.
Any case is considered by plastic surgeons as unique, requiring a special approach. Therefore, at a preliminary online consultation, it will be possible to determine the method of lifting and the cost of a facelift in Turkey.
The price of a facelift in Turkey depends on the type of facelift, the time spent in the clinic, and the materials that will be used. The minimum price starts from €2,700, and the cost of a circular facelift starts from €5,100. For example, a mini facelift costs $2,300 on average.
It is important to know. The actual cost of the operation may differ slightly from the one currently indicated on the website. This is due to the increase in prices in clinics for medical services. This issue is not regulated by Beauty by Experts Medical, the company’s employees can check the current prices on your request.
Some clinics offer packages. By purchasing a package of services under the All Inclusive system, the price of a facelift in Turkey will include the operation, hotel accommodation for the rehabilitation period, assistance of an interpreter, transfer from the airport, and some other services.
