AKM Clinic Introduces Combined Deep Plane Face, Neck and Temporal Lift Package for International Patients

Single-session package treats the midface, jawline and upper face together, with surgery, hospital, accommodation, transfers and aftercare included in one price

ISTANBUL, Turkey — [June 5, 2026] — AKM Clinic, a facial plastic surgery practice in Istanbul led by Dr. Akif Mehmetoğlu, has introduced an all-inclusive package that combines a deep plane facelift, neck lift and temporal lift in a single operation. The package is aimed at international patients who want to address the midface, jawline and upper face together rather than across separate surgeries and separate trips.

Facial aging rarely affects one area in isolation. As the midface descends, the jawline and neck commonly lose definition at the same time, and the brow and temple can drop and add weight to the upper face. Treating these regions separately can mean repeated operations, repeated anesthesia and repeated recovery periods. Combining them in one session reduces that burden for patients who are suitable candidates for a larger procedure.

The neck is often the area that shows age first. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a neck lift — known medically as a lower rhytidectomy — addresses loose neck skin, a double chin, jowls and the muscle banding that appears as the platysma muscle loosens with age. In a combined procedure, the neck lift works alongside the deep plane facelift: the facelift repositions the deeper structural layer of the midface, while the neck lift restores the jawline and the line beneath the chin so that the two regions match.

The temporal lift addresses the upper third of the face. By raising the outer brow and temple, it opens the eye area and reduces the heaviness that can remain after a facelift performed on its own. Performed together, the three procedures keep the result balanced across the whole face rather than refreshing one zone and leaving the others behind.

“When the face, neck and brow age together, treating them in one operation gives a more even result than staging them months apart,” said Dr. Akif Mehmetoğlu, founder and lead surgeon at AKM Clinic. “For the right candidate, performing the combination under a single anesthetic also means one recovery period instead of three, which matters to patients who have traveled to reach us.”

The package price covers the surgery, hospital fees, post-operative care, accommodation for the stay and airport transfers. Travel dates are arranged so that the most intensive part of recovery takes place in Istanbul, under the surgical team’s supervision, before patients fly home; follow-up then continues remotely.

Recovery from a combined procedure varies by patient and by the extent of surgery. Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first one to two weeks, and the clinic advises patients to plan their stay and return travel accordingly. As with any facial surgery, the final result appears gradually as swelling settles over the following weeks and months.

Cost is a frequent reason patients consider treatment abroad. In the United States, a neck lift alone averages $7,885, and that figure does not include anesthesia, the operating facility or other related costs, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. A combined face, neck and brow procedure performed separately in the US or UK adds the cost of each operation, each anesthetic and each facility fee. AKM Clinic’s combined deep plane face and neck lift package sets a single price that includes the surgery and the surrounding logistics, which the clinic says makes the total cost easier for international patients to plan.

Incisions for the combined procedure are placed within the hairline and the natural creases around the ears, where they are positioned to fade and stay concealed as healing progresses. For selected patients, parts of the procedure can be performed using AKM Clinic’s awake approach, under local anesthesia with light sedation; the choice of anesthesia for a combined operation of this size is decided case by case during consultation.

The combined package is not appropriate for everyone. AKM Clinic assesses each patient individually and notes that a larger single operation requires a candidate in good general health. Anyone weighing the procedure should check that their surgeon is board-certified, ask to see a range of unedited before-and-after cases, and settle the question of candidacy in consultation before committing to travel. AKM Clinic holds these consultations remotely, so a patient’s suitability can be confirmed without an initial trip abroad.

“A package should make a complex decision simpler, not push a patient toward more surgery than they need,” Dr. Mehmetoğlu added. “If a single area is the concern, we say so.”
