A Lifelong Dream Realised: Lisa's Royal Rejuvenation Journey from the USA to Turkey
I couldn't have chosen a better clinic than AKM from beginning to end. I was treated like royalty... I am going to always recommend AKM clinic to anyone and I definitely plan on coming back.
Lisa arrived from Los Angeles — a city with no shortage of aesthetic surgeons — carrying a “lifelong dream” of rejuvenation and one significant fear: general anaesthesia. Overwhelmed by options at home, she found her answer in AKM Clinic’s awake surgery programme, where her combination of procedures could be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, removing the very risk that had kept her from proceeding for years.
The scale of her surgery makes her recovery the headline: an awake Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, Upper Blepharoplasty and Arm Lift in one plan — and Lisa reporting she felt “fantastic” within days, describing the recovery as “easy” and “smooth”. Treated “like royalty” from airport to final check, her only stated regret was not doing it sooner. Her video tells the rest in her own words.
- Procedures: Awake Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, Upper Blepharoplasty, Arm Lift, CO2 Fractional Laser
- Key to Trust: Expert Guidance on Local Anaesthesia & Being "Treated Like Royalty"
- The Experience: Feeling "Fantastic" Just 4 Days After Major Combination Surgery

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!
