Twilight Sedation, Real Trust and a Changed Life: Karena's Awake Deep Plane Facelift Journey

"After a lot of research, I also wanted a female surgeon to do my face and neck lift. ... I was scared, to be honest. It went really well. ... And the recovery was amazing. ... they changed my life, you know. I'm really happy."

Karena is a 52-year-old woman from Canada who travelled to AKM Clinic in Istanbul for an Awake Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift. She says she chose the clinic after "a lot of research" and notes that there are other clinics and other places, where some are "a bit more" and some "a bit less". She also wanted a female surgeon to perform her face and neck lift. The surgery was carried out under twilight sedation, and Karena admits she was scared beforehand.

According to Karena, the procedure "went really well". She was awake during the operation and describes feeling "the tugging and stuff, but there's no pain". After surgery she had red light therapy and used the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which she says helped too. She calls the recovery "amazing" and says the team was always available whenever she had questions. Speaking about the clinic, she says "I really trust them" and, growing emotional, adds that "they changed my life". She closes by saying she is really happy and thanks AKM.

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!
