Endoscopic Facelift Type ||

Ideal candidates often experience:

• Jowls
• Jawline softening
• Neck laxity
• Platysmal banding
• Neck fullness
• Loss of neck definition
• Midface descent
• Deep nasolabial folds
• Lower-face heaviness
• Advanced facial aging

Type II is often most suitable for patients seeking comprehensive rejuvenation of both the face and neck rather than treating individual areas separately.

As facial aging progresses, deeper support structures gradually descend.

The cheeks lose support, jowls become more visible, the jawline softens, platysma muscles separate, and fullness develops beneath the chin and neck.

These changes often create a heavier appearance and reduce the youthful transition between the face and neck.

Type II is designed specifically to address these deeper anatomical causes.

The main difference is the neck.

Type V primarily focuses on the jawline, lower face, marionette lines, and early jowls.

Type II additionally addresses:

• Neck laxity
• Platysmal bands
• Deep neck fullness
• Cervicomental angle definition
• Neck contouring

Patients whose concerns extend below the jawline are often better candidates for Type II.

Yes.

One of the defining features of Type II is comprehensive neck rejuvenation.

The procedure is specifically designed to improve neck laxity, jawline definition, platysmal banding, cervical fullness, and age-related neck changes while maintaining a natural appearance.

This is one of the most common questions patients ask when considering Endoscopic Deep Plane Facelift Type II.

The effectiveness of a neck lift depends less on the length of the incision and more on whether the deeper anatomical causes of neck aging are properly addressed.

Type II allows comprehensive treatment of the neck through deep-plane dissection, platysma repair (platysmaplasty), deep neck contouring, fat reduction when necessary, and anatomical repositioning of deeper support structures.

For appropriately selected patients, these techniques can provide significant improvement in neck definition, jawline contour, platysmal banding, and cervical fullness while maintaining a more refined scar profile.

The most suitable technique depends on anatomy, skin quality, tissue heaviness, and the degree of neck aging.

Yes.

One of the advantages of Endoscopic Deep Plane Facelift Type II is the ability to address deeper facial and neck structures through strategically concealed incisions placed within the scalp, behind the ears, and beneath the chin when necessary.

Rather than relying solely on skin tightening, the procedure focuses on restoring deeper structural support, improving platysmal contour, and redefining the jawline-neck transition.

The degree of improvement depends on individual anatomy, skin elasticity, and the severity of neck aging, but many patients achieve substantial neck rejuvenation without extensive visible scarring.

This is one of the most common questions patients ask.

Facial and neck aging are primarily caused by tissue descent rather than excess skin alone.

During Type II surgery, deeper facial and neck structures are repositioned back toward their original anatomical location. As support is restored, the skin naturally redrapes over the repositioned tissues.

When necessary, conservative skin excision may be incorporated to optimize contour while avoiding excessive tension.

The goal is to restore youthful facial and neck support, improve jawline definition, rejuvenate the neck, soften facial aging, and create a naturally refreshed appearance while preserving facial identity and expression.

Type II is designed for patients seeking comprehensive face and neck rejuvenation through hidden incisions, deep-plane anatomical repositioning, and long-lasting natural-looking results.

Yes.

Type II may include deep neck contouring techniques that address excess fat beneath the chin, cervical fullness, and structural neck aging.

The goal is to improve jawline definition and restore a cleaner, more youthful neck contour.

The platysma is the muscle responsible for many visible signs of neck aging.

As aging progresses, the platysma may separate and create vertical neck bands.

Type II includes platysma repair and tightening when necessary to improve neck contour and create a more youthful jawline-neck transition.

This procedure is commonly known as platysmaplasty (platimaplasti), a surgical technique used to restore support to the neck muscles, reduce visible platysmal bands, and improve overall neck definition.

Yes.

Type II incorporates advanced deep-plane SMAS repositioning and retaining ligament release throughout the upper face, midface, lower face, jawline, and neck.

Rather than relying on skin tension, the procedure restores support through anatomical repositioning of the deeper facial structures responsible for facial aging.

Yes.

Incisions are strategically concealed within the hair-bearing scalp, temporal region, behind the ears, and beneath the chin when neck contouring is required.

Although no facelift can be considered completely scarless, visible scars are typically minimal and discreetly hidden.

No.

The goal is not to create a tighter face or neck.

Because Type II relies on deep-plane anatomical repositioning rather than skin tension, results are designed to appear natural, balanced, and age-appropriate while preserving facial identity.

Type II repositions deeper facial and neck structures rather than temporarily masking aging, results are generally long-lasting and measured in years rather than months.

Patients continue to age naturally, but from a more youthful starting point.

Most patients experience temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort during the early recovery period.

Many patients begin feeling socially comfortable within approximately two to three weeks, while deeper tissue settling and refinement continue over several months.

Recovery varies depending on anatomy and the extent of neck rejuvenation performed.

The process typically begins with a detailed photo evaluation and online consultation.

After arriving in Istanbul, patients undergo an in-person examination, surgical planning, medical evaluation, and final consultation before surgery.

For international patients, recovery is supported through a highly personalized VIP care experience. Patients stay in a modern, fully equipped hospital environment and receive daily medical follow-up, nursing care, and postoperative monitoring throughout their stay in Istanbul.

Our team remains closely involved during the recovery process, providing regular examinations, dressing changes, medication guidance, and ongoing support to help ensure comfort and safety. Private transfers, concierge assistance, and individualized care planning may also be available for eligible patients.

Following the procedure, patients continue to receive postoperative follow-up, recovery monitoring, and ongoing support throughout their stay before returning home.
