I went from Sweden to Doctor B, Bülent ...

I went from Sweden to Doctor B, Bülent Cihantimur, in Istanbul, Turkey, to do a spider web facelift. Before my procedure I got to meet some of his previous patients and I was so amazed by the result, they really did look at least 10 years younger and the skin was so smooth and radiant. It look so natural and you couldn't tell they had done any kind of cosmetic work except for having an extremely youthful look for their age.
I am 26 and still young but there is no better anti-aging treatment as the ones that are preventive. As with any other anti-aging treatment it is always an upkeep but by doing this procedure it will continuously make me look at least five years younger. And if I would do the procedure again within 5-10 years I will continue to prevent my aging even further.
The procedure went really quick and was done after about 10 minutes after the skin in my face had been cleaned and numbed with numbing cream. Doctor B treated my skin with radio frequency to be able to connect the threads that was applied like a spider web underneath my skin, which helps the skin tightening and lifting even further. The needles used felt just like a pinch and the procedure was as good as pain free from beginning to end.
Right after the procedure my skin was a bit swollen and a bit red but you could instantly see the result of the procedure. I was allowed to put my makeup on and I was good to go back to my normal routine. No downtime at all, which was amazing. It took a few days for the swelling to go down completely, but the redness was gone just the day after. I could feel the threads underneath my skin when I laughed for a few weeks after the procedure but it was not painful and it didn't affect my everyday life in any way.
A few months have now passed since I did the spider web facelift procedure with Doctor B in Istanbul and Doctor B and I keep on seeing results. My chin look smaller since my skin has been lifted and tightened, my cheeks looks fuller and tiny lines I previously had underneath my eyes are disappearing. I couldn't be more happy with the results so far. In a few months the threads underneath my skin will be dissolved and only the collagen net that is building up around the threads will be left. I am already so pleased and amazed with the results and I can't wait to see how it will look when the procedure is done with working its magic.
This is a treatment I would recommend to anyone - just by the fact that it creates a natural and youthful look and there is no downtime. You will look younger, without that stretched look that a normal facelift can give you, and it is so much more permanent than Botox. Doctor B have also created a face mask and moisturizing cream which I use regularly. They both feel great and they help to tighten, brighten and moisturize the face so it will continue to stay fresh and be vibrant over time.

I got in contact with Doctor B through a mutual friend. Doctor B have an extremely good reputation and he is really well known within his fields of expertise. Prior to my procedure, I did a remote consultation with him via phone and email from Sweden. We discussed the procedure and I also asked a few other questions I had about it. He was really professional and friendly and I felt I got answers to all of my questions. After I decided to do the procedure, I discussed the date of the procedure and travel plan with one of his assistants at the clinic. Though all I really needed to discuss was the date of the procedure, because everything else including travel arrangements the wonderful assistant took care of for me which was something I really appreciated. Not having to think about booking flights, transportation to/from the airport and find a hotel was really convenient for me, made me relaxed and I could travel to Istanbul, Turkey, without feeling any stress prior to the procedure. I stayed four days in Istanbul and I had the most wonderful time and experience. Yes I knew i was a bit of a special guest, even though I wasn't expecting the warm welcoming that I've got. They were so friendly, so service-minded, so professional, so kind and so generous. I literally didn't have to think about anything. I was so impressed of the staff, the impressive clinic and the beautiful city but above all of Doctor B. I got to meet some of his previous patients who all loved him for his work. Doctor B is the inventor off the spider web technique and is one of the world top plastic surgeons in many different fields, which he have got a lot of publicity for. His competence, experience and expertise made me feel really comfortable with the procedure, and above all the fantastic result of the spider web facelift procedure, and I can sincerely recommend Doctor B, Bülent Cihantimur, and the Estetik International clinic to everyone. You have my deepest gratitude Doctor B. Thank you for what you've done and what you're doing.
