A SMAS facelift at AKM Clinic starts at CAD $6,700<\/strong> all-inclusive, with a high-SMAS lift at CAD $7,150 and an extended SMAS facelift at CAD $7,500. In Canada, a SMAS facelift typically costs CAD $18,000\u2013$24,000. Our price already covers the hospital, 5-star hotel, transfers and aftercare.<\/p>","question_2":"What is the SMAS, and why does it matter for a facelift?","answer_2":"

The SMAS is the layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin. Tightening it (CAD $6,700), rather than pulling the skin alone, lifts the face from its foundation, which gives a natural result and avoids the over-tight look. It also lasts far longer than a skin-only lift, typically 10 years or more.<\/p>","question_3":"How is a SMAS facelift different from a deep plane facelift?","answer_3":"

A SMAS facelift (from CAD $6,700) tightens and repositions the muscle layer, while a deep plane facelift releases the ligaments beneath it to move skin and muscle together as one unit. The deep plane approach can give a more natural mid-face lift for advanced ageing. Our surgeons advise which suits your anatomy.<\/p>","question_4":"How long do the results last?","answer_4":"

Because a SMAS facelift repositions the structural muscle layer, results typically last 10 to 15 years. Ageing continues naturally afterward, but you will always look younger than if you had not had the surgery. Good skin care and sun protection help extend the result, in keeping with our \"rejuvenation, not alteration\" philosophy.<\/p>","question_5":"How long is recovery, and when can I fly home?","answer_5":"

Plan for about 7 to 10 nights in Istanbul. Sutures come out around day 7, and bruising settles over two to three weeks. Your all-inclusive CAD $6,700 covers 5-star accommodation for this period, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) reduces swelling and bruising before your long-haul flight to Canada.<\/p>","extra_content_1_header":"","extra_content_1":"","extra_content_2_header":"","extra_content_2":""},"cost-categories":[],"class_list":["post-23758","costs","type-costs","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/costs\/23758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/costs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/costs"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cost-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cost-categories?post=23758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
