I had a really positive experience from start to finish. Everything was so easy to book, and the whole process was organised really well. As soon as I arrived in Turkey, I was picked up from the airport and taken straight to the hotel, …
Face Lift
Face Lift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce signs of aging in the face and neck by tightening sagging skin, smoothing wrinkles, and restoring youthful contours. As people age, facial skin loses elasticity, muscles weaken, and fat distribution changes, leading to drooping cheeks, jowls, and neck laxity.
At Academy Health in Turkey, we specialize in advanced face lift techniques that provide natural, long-lasting results.

Real stories. Real satisfaction.
Post surgery of 4 days, fly back room night. I’ve had 360 lipo, tummy tuck and a do repair. Nurse all so kind and Google translate helps. Walking as advised has helped a lot increase mobility and reduce swelling or bloating. Defiantly take comfy button up the front over size item, travel light and book special assistance for the airport to help get through the massive airport.
Results look great already and super bloated and need to get lymph massages but extremely happy so far.
Hotel staff, clinic & hospital staff are all friendly. Surgeon lovely and nice. Just drink plenty, stay comfy and walking is key!!
academy clinic is great I had breast augmentation done here in Istanbul
They have been very helpful from airport transfer to having surgery done.
The nurses at the hospital was lovely and helpful.
Excellent customer care from Nesrine and Miray. I am very happy with service I received- my new nose looks amazing. Nurse Team was always available and ready to assist. Nesrine who was my medical coordinator went above and beyond to help me out, she even done shopping for me when I couldn’t go out from the hospital! I felt like I was a part of a family rather than just a client. Everyone was professional and so supportive. I will definitely be coming back to academy clinic in the future! Thank you
The crew was very helpful and informative. It’s clear that they want you to be as comfortable as possible throughout the process. The consultant is just one message away and fast in responding to your questions and every need. The surgery went well and I can’t wait to see the results. The transportation was also very precise and on time for every trip. 👍🏾
What can I say , absolutely amazing
What can I say !!! The whole experience was just a 5 star! If there was an option for a 10 star I would put it. The whole team was amazing, so helpful, good communication, amazing accommodation. Doctor Ersoy and doctor Mete were so professional and so kind . They really new what my body needed ! I did a breast lift and reduction with implants . Oh my ! They changed my life ! The hospital was clean and the nurses were so caring ! Everything is on point ! Everything is punctual, you don’t get to wait long to be seen by doctor. The drivers are so polite. The hotel was amazing with helpful lovely stuff! I highly recommend academy clinic!! I will definitely go back.
I was a patient at academy clinic. I was impressed by how well they organized to pick me up from the airport, then take me to the hotel and get me back on time. They were very well organized, the staff is pleasant, but the organizers were in touch with me to be sure that everything is done professionally and on time; I also have friends who were patients at this clinic and were satisfied. Thank you academy clinic so we will definitely see you soon.
I got a breast augmentation and otoplasty with Dr Mete. He was very friendly and gave me exactly what I asked for. I am very happy with my results so far. The nurses were also very friendly and helpful.
I am a patient from the UK who travelled to academy clinic in Turkey upon recommendations. The level of service from start to finish was 5 star. I had surgery done with academy clinic and everything from their part was so well planned out. Everyone representing the clinic was very friendly and took such good care of me. The communication was 5 star. As my surgery was a few days ago, i haven’t been able to see my final result but from what I have seen, I am extremely happy! Thank you academy clinic! I will be visiting again.
Amazing results for my lipo. I initially had my doubts as to how everything was going to turn out, but my goodness, has Dr Mete come through! I’m so pleased with my results and the body line I hadn’t seen in ages! Everything was taken care of from the arrival right down to the departure. The first day of my surgery, the nurses were available throughout the day and night. I had a hard time the first few days even getting up and about, but support was on hand and they came to check up on me several times. The hospital was very clean and the room was definitely of a high standard for a hospital room ( defo VIP like room). Only thing I would say is get ready to use a google translator on your phone as English is obviously second language understandably and go with your eyes open as the first few days felt like death to me (so take someone to help you unlike me as i went alone)but the results are well worth it! Thanks to the staff and Dr Metexx.
I did the hair transplant. Everyone was super cool and nice. My Coordinator Nisrine walked me through all of the steps so I knew what to expect through the procedure and for my after care. The whole process they make sure you are comfortable and accommodated. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!
Had a great experience from the minute i landed, everyone was very welcoming, made me feel at ease, can’t thank my 2 nurses enough from being in the hospital and hotel, kept reassuring me when was needed, especially being so far from home, definitely made the right choice with choosing academy clinic.. only thing i would say was hard was the language barrier but that’s excepted to come to there country, nothing google translate doesn’t help with x
They run a tight ship. Very organised. Very professional. Hospital is clean. The surgery and after care was top tier. Can’t fault them. Thanks.
From the initial enquiry, through booking, surgery and post operative care badge were extremely helpful and reassuring.
The hospital was clean and comfortable and were accommodating to both myself and my companion.
Dr Mete listened to what I wanted whilst offering his professional opinion and giving me the results that I was looking for.
My coordinator Şevval were always on hand regardless of the time of day, to answer any queries, concerns or basic questions I had. No query was to pig or to small.
My hotel nurse Beyza was extremely friendly and so helpful in my aftercare. Again no query or request was to big or to small. She checked on me a few times a day each day and was always available through the WhatsApp group. She made my after care stay so much more comfortable.
Even after I have returned home they are still in contact to offer support and ensure everything is going well.
I would definitely recommend academy clinic for anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. I myself was recommended badge and I am so glad I chose them. My procedures were a fraction of the cost of the UK but this did not take away from the level of care and support that was provided
Very happy with academy clinic as a whole. From stepping of the plane right until the end. The staff have been amazing and helped me every step of the way. If I needed anything they responded to me very fast and helped with whatever I needed.
A great service with amazing people. At the beginning i was quite nervous for the fact that my teeth were a mess. I was always afraid of dentists but their excellent way of working made me confident that i am in very good hands. Thank you and i will definitely see you again.🙏
I am very pleased with the services of the clinic, the team of doctors and nurses are very helpful in every situation. The procedure was successful, tummy tuck with 360 liposuction, I am very pleased. A wonderful hotel designed for rest, drivers always on time. A clinic worth recommending.
A life changing procedure for me that was made a lot easier with the help of academy clinic. Fantastic facilities with the amazing doctors and nurses who helped me recover from my gastric sleeve surgery. Will always be grateful
My girlfriend had breast augmentation with Dr. Mete in May 2024, and it’s been 2 months. We really love the results. What a professional team! Thanks to my medical consultant, Joey, for helping us through everything.
academy clinic was amazing! I had nurses with me 24/7 who were there to help me understand what was happening during the procedure! Dr. Sarper was very kind and has done 100 liposuctions! He never made me feel uncomfortable and made sure I understood what was best for my body! Highly recommend!

4 Steps to Your Transformation
Your dream appearance is closer than ever — guided by professionals and delivered through four simple, trusted steps.
What is a Face Lift?
A face lift rejuvenates the lower and mid-face by addressing:
- Sagging cheeks and jowls
- Deep facial folds
- Loose skin around the jawline and neck
- Overall loss of facial firmness and contour
The procedure can be customized to target specific areas, often combined with eyelid surgery, brow lift, or neck lift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How is a Face Lift Performed?
Face lift surgery involves several precise steps:
Consultation & Planning: Assessment of facial structure, skin quality, and patient goals.
Anesthesia: Usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
Incisions: Carefully placed along the hairline and around the ears to minimize visible scarring.
Skin and Tissue Repositioning: Underlying muscles are tightened, excess skin removed, and tissues lifted for a more youthful contour.
Closing Incisions & Recovery: Sutures and dressings are applied; drains may be used temporarily.
The procedure typically takes 3–5 hours depending on the extent of correction.
Advantages of a Face Lift
- Restores youthful facial contours
- Reduces sagging, wrinkles, and jowls
- Enhances jawline and neck appearance
- Provides natural, long-lasting results
- Can be combined with other facial procedures
- Boosts confidence and appearance
Recovery After a Face Lift
Recovery is gradual, with patients noticing improvements as swelling and bruising subside:
- Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising for 1–2 weeks
- Stitches removed within 5–10 days
- Avoiding strenuous activity for 3–4 weeks
- Returning to work typically within 2–3 weeks
- Full results visible within a few months
Risks and Considerations
Face lift surgery is safe when performed by experienced surgeons, but potential risks include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Mild numbness or tightness
- Scarring (placed discreetly along natural lines)
- Rare asymmetry or need for revision
- Risk of hematoma (controlled with proper care)
Academy Health ensures meticulous surgical planning, advanced techniques, and comprehensive post-operative care to minimize risks.
