Brow lift, canthoplasty and more - my confidence has definitely improved

WORTH IT
Great results remain, so happy I did the brow/lip/cheek lift with cateye (canthoplasty). No scars either; I recommend fat transfer to those who proceed with this, I was unable to do so, but would be a good substitute for fillers in the future and provide fullness to the face.

You look great! Did you have a temple lift? Incisions by the hairline at the temples? If so, how do your scars look? Looking to get this done!
Thank you! Yes, temporal brow lift it's called. Incisions are concealed in the scalp, can't see anything, may feel some bumps at the initial stage of healing but other than that it goes away, nothing. Can't see any scars, by the eyes you need to put a cream for at least 6 weeks but it's easy. If you have questions feel free to reach me on ig @victorinyc. Thanks :)
How has the temporal lift held up? Are you still happy with the results? Did you lose any feeling in your face where they do the dissection? Still considering this procedure - possibly this year. Thank you!
Hi! It's held up just fine, I feel if I didn't do it, I'd be relying heavily on intense threads right now and that was too much for me to do every 4-6 months, I no longer need that. Every 6 months I would do mynt threading and that was too costly, too painful. The surgery is so much more cost-effective and long lasting :)
I have some areas on the temples that I can tell the nerves are a little 'numb', but quite honestly it doesn't bother me at all, doesn't impact any aspect of my movement or expressions.
You look amazing! How do you know if you're a good candidate for a temple lift or a lateral canthoplasty? Thank you!
Thank you so very much! It is best to proceed with a video consultation with the doctor. I'm happy to help you in any way, answer any questions, you can message me on IG @victorinyc
Thanks!
I love your look! Did having such a big change impact your social &/or professional life? I don't know if it would be weird to come back to work looking so different & wonder how it would be to date. Thanks for sharing!

Great results

Very pleased I proceeded with the lifts and treatment overall, now over 4 months out the results are still very visible and no need for threads or any lifting treatments other than botox. No adverse effects whatsoever.

ORIGINAL POST

I Had a Browlift, Canthoplasty and More in Istanbul and Couldn't Be Happier...

I'm just two weeks since my browlift, canthoplasty (cateye), blepharoplasty (top and bottom) and cheek and lip lift, with Dr. Hakan Ozocak in Istanbul, and already see a nice, taut, youthful appearance in the making. I am still bruised, have swelling, but am home in Miami after staying in Istanbul for ten days, which I spent in a beautiful hospital, and stunning hotel for great value, and received excellent care and service throughout in both.
As with any surgery, there's a lot of information I could cover here, but am trying to keep it short. For those who don't enjoy reading, I can be reached on IG @victorinyc. I began planning about 5 months before my surgery and booked a date 2 months before it. Dr. Ozocak and I held a video consult 2x, and covered all of my questions/objectives in full. Communication was easy and clear, and I felt confident and comfortable after speaking with him. He emailed a list of next steps and we proceeded. I plotted out where I would stay and everything was convenient and reasonable. We met prior to the surgery, had an extensive pre-op, and the next day I went in for surgery. I stayed in the hospital the first night of surgery which is included, and felt very safe, comfortable, and cared for, and the dr visited and checked on me repeatedly. Discomfort/pain were present, yes, but minimized with medication and ongoing care. I was alone by the way, but the dr and his team, including his assistant Burhan, went above and beyond to help me throughout recovery, including getting new eyeglasses (don't forget these!) and getting nails quickly repaired. I could go on and on about Dr. Ozocak and Burhan, but I will never forget all that they did for me in this substantial surgery.
Again, I'm only two weeks out, but my confidence in my appearance has definitely improved and I'm beyond happy with my results thus far. For any questions, IG is the way but I will continue to update on my progress. Thanks and good luck to those considering it.
