A Journey That Exceeded Her Expectations: Barbara's Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift Journey

"The AKM clinic exceeded my expectations. I was very anxious, very scared of needles. ... The aftercare was amazing, which was very important. ... If you're thinking about this journey to go on, please take it."

Barbara is a patient from the northeast of England who travelled to AKM Clinic in Istanbul for a deep plane face and neck lift, together with upper eyelid surgery. According to the clinic, she researched face and neck lift surgery online for a long time before choosing AKM Clinic. Speaking 11 days after her operation, and soon to turn 77, she explains her decision in her own words: "I decided to invest a little bit more in myself". She notes that she is still a little swollen but describes the difference she has found as "absolutely, utterly amazing already".

Barbara says AKM Clinic exceeded her expectations. She was very anxious and scared of needles, and she told the team about this in advance. On the morning of surgery they gave her a small tablet to calm her nerves. She chose a local anaesthetic rather than a full general anaesthetic and says she cannot remember any pain from that point on. She describes the aftercare as amazing and says she took only two paracetamol, for a headache linked to the head garment. She went with a lady surgeon and speaks of "a dedicated team" and a service that felt "intimate and small".

Procedures: Awake deep plane facelift and neck lift, plus upper eyelid surgery
Key to Trust: The team listened to her anxiety and gave her a tablet on surgery morning to calm her nerves
The Experience: Local anaesthetic, aftercare she calls amazing, and only two paracetamol for a headache

I had a face, neck and arm lift at AKM. I’m just over 4 weeks post and couldn’t be happier with the results. The entire experience was wonderful! My coordinator, Khadija made me feel comfortable from beginning to end! I highly recommend AKM and will definitely go back for other procedures!

I am beyond grateful I went with AKM Clinic for my deep plane face and neck lift, upper eyelid, and co2 laser. Dr. Akif has magic hands and my results are truly incredible! I came from the US and assistant Emine was the best in assuring every detail was coordinated and communicated with me beyond my expectations every step of the way. 10 out of 10 to the entire team! I couldn’t be more pleased!
