“Redefining Facial Rejuvenation: Surgical Precision and Complementary Skin Therapies for Natural, Long-Lasting Results”
09-10, 10:45–10:55 (Europe/Istanbul), Facial Plastic 1

Facial aging is a multifactorial process involving structural descent, soft tissue volume loss, and progressive deterioration of skin quality. Traditional facelift techniques have provided improvement but often result in limited longevity or unnatural outcomes. The deep plane facelift, combined with periorbital surgery, addresses deeper anatomic layers, while the integration of advanced skin therapies enhances overall rejuvenation by restoring texture, tone, and quality.

Learning Objectives

• To understand the anatomical basis and surgical principles of the deep plane facelift and periorbital rejuvenation.

• To review the role of advanced skin therapies (laser, PRP, peels, regenerative injectables) as complementary tools in facial rejuvenation.

• To explore the synergy between surgical and non-surgical modalities for optimal, natural outcomes.

• To analyze clinical case studies demonstrating comprehensive approaches to facial aging.

• To establish protocols that maximize safety, longevity, and patient satisfaction.


Comprehensive rejuvenation requires addressing structural and skin-related changes simultaneously. The integration of surgical and advanced skin therapies provides a holistic, safe, and effective solution for modern facial rejuvenation.
