What causes facial sagging?
The appearance described as facial sagging is not related only to changes at the skin surface. Changes that develop over time in different facial anatomical structures can affect the overall appearance together.

Facial Rejuvenation A Comprehensive View
Although the face, neck, eye area, brows and forehead are distinct anatomical regions, they form connected transitions in the overall facial appearance. Facial rejuvenation surgery is based on understanding where age-related changes are concentrated and how they relate to neighbouring areas.
Facelift surgery , Deep plane facelift , neck lift surgery , eyelid surgery (in Turkish) and brow lift surgery (in Turkish) are separate surgical approaches addressing different anatomical regions. The surgical plan is developed from facial anatomy, the distribution of changes, general health and examination findings.
02 / Surgical Approaches
Core Approaches
- 01Facelift SurgeryA surgical approach focusing on anatomical changes in the midface, lower face and jawline.
- 02Endoscopic Deep Plane FaceliftAn approach considering the deep facial plane and endoscopic access together.
- 03Neck Lift SurgeryAn approach focusing on the transition between the area beneath the chin, the jawline and neck contour.
- 04Eyelid SurgeryA surgical area considering the upper and lower eyelids according to their individual anatomical characteristics. (in Turkish)
- 05Brow Lift SurgeryApproaches focusing on the relationship between brow position, the forehead, temples and upper eye area. (in Turkish)
03 / Endoscopic Deep Plane
Endoscopic Deep Plane Facelift
Deep plane describes the anatomical plane addressed in facelift surgery; endoscopic describes visualisation and access. These concepts can come together in a surgical plan explaining the relationships between different facial tissue layers.
The surgical scope may be confined to the midface and lower face, or may be considered in relation to the jawline, neck or upper face; examination findings determine which areas are included.

Frequently explored topics and information about the surgical process in facelift, deep plane, neck, eye area and upper facial surgery.
Deep plane and other facelift approaches: the differences
Deep plane is an approach relating to the anatomical plane in facelift surgery. Its difference from other facelift approaches concerns which anatomical layers are assessed and how they are addressed in surgical planning.
What causes neck sagging?
The appearance described as neck sagging cannot be explained only by skin laxity. Changes involving the jawline, neck skin, soft tissues and lower face can affect the overall appearance together.
Differences between upper and lower eyelid surgery (in Turkish)
Although the upper and lower eyelids are parts of the same eye area, their anatomy and relationships with surrounding tissues differ. Surgical assessment and planning are therefore carried out separately for each region.
