About Facelift

The Teo Midface Lift is Dr. Dogan's specialized approach to facial rejuvenation, targeting the central face — cheeks, under-eye hollows, and nasolabial folds. Rather than pulling the skin taut in an unnatural direction, this technique repositions the deep facial tissues to their youthful position, restoring volume and contour where aging has caused descent.

This procedure is particularly effective for patients who notice flattening of the cheeks, deepening of the nasolabial folds, or hollowing beneath the eyes. By addressing the root cause of mid-face aging — tissue descent rather than skin laxity alone — the Teo Midface Lift produces results that look refreshed and natural, never 'done.'

The operation is performed at the American Hospital in Istanbul and typically involves an overnight stay for optimal monitoring and comfort during the initial recovery phase.

Recovery Process

1

Days 1-3: Rest with head elevated. Compression bandaging supports healing. Mild to moderate swelling and bruising are expected.

2

Days 4-7: Bandaging is removed. Swelling and bruising begin to improve significantly. Light activities can resume.

3

Weeks 1-2: Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social engagements. Bruising can be concealed with makeup.

4

Months 1-3: Residual swelling continues to resolve. The rejuvenated contour of the cheeks and mid-face becomes increasingly defined.

5

Months 3-6: Final results are apparent. The face appears naturally refreshed with restored volume and smoother contours.
