This technique, Dr. It is an upper and middle facelift method defined by Hakan Şirinoğlu. In the method, a 2-3 cm long incision is made through the hair and the eyebrow, eye corner, cheek and mid-face areas are lifted vertically. The method, which can be described as “scarless” because it is entered through the hair, can be applied to patients of all ages with sagging on the upper and middle face.

The surgery takes approximately 1.5 hours under general anesthesia. It requires 1 day of hospitalization. The first check-up in the postoperative period is 5-10 days. It is done between days and the tapes placed on the face are changed. Although the level of pain and edema varies from patient to patient, it can be considered moderate.

Approximately 3-4 weeks after the surgery, dimple appearances due to the suspensory stitches under the skin on the face, lifting more than expected (lifting more than desired before surgery is a technical detail that must be done as it will fall over time, and asymmetry) may be a disturbing process for patients. Then, day by day, these complaints decrease and the desired result begins on the face, and full recovery occurs in approximately the 6th month.

Technical Dr. It has been developed by Hakan Şirinoğlu since 2018, was applied on more than 500 patients, was supported by cadaver studies, and was published in 2023 in the “Journal of Craniofacial Surgery”, one of the international peer-reviewed journals. The technique is different from the existing literature in that, unlike previous techniques, it uses a different tissue release plan to provide both a more effective stretching effect on the upper face and to reach the middle face without making an extra incision around the ear or inside the mouth.
