A Transformative Face and Neck Lift with Fat Transfer by Mr Tunc Tiryaki

Restoring Youthful Beauty

At the age of 56, this lovely patient decided to embark on a transformative journey, not just to look younger, but to feel like herself again. Under the skilled hands of internationally renowned plastic surgeon Mr Tunc Tiryaki, she underwent a bespoke combination of procedures: a face and neck lift, fat transfer to the face, a lip lift and a mini lower blepharoplasty. The results have surpassed all expectations, both in appearance and emotional impact.

“I look in the mirror and see myself again—only fresher, softer, and more confident. Mr Tiryaki’s work has not only made me look more youthful, but I truly feel it too. The results are beyond anything I could have hoped for.”

This remarkable outcome is the result of Mr Tiryaki’s signature approach: a detailed, highly personalised treatment plan crafted in close collaboration with each patient. His philosophy is centred around understanding—not just the anatomy of ageing, but the unique aesthetic goals and lifestyle of every individual. He takes time to truly understand each patient’s goals and motivations.

Understanding the Procedure: What Was Performed

Face and Neck Lift

The cornerstone of this transformation was the face and neck lift. Ageing naturally leads to laxity in the lower face and neck, resulting in sagging jowls, a less defined jawline and the development of deep creases around the mouth and chin. Mr Tiryaki’s technique focuses on deep plane lifting, repositioning the underlying facial muscles (SMAS layer) rather than simply tightening the skin. This ensures long-lasting, natural-looking results without the ‘pulled’ appearance associated with traditional lifts.

In combination with the neck lift, which smooths horizontal bands and removes loose skin beneath the chin, this procedure redefined the patient’s lower face, sculpting a youthful silhouette and restoring harmony to her profile.

Lip Lift

Subtle yet powerful, a lip lift was also performed to shorten the distance between the upper lip and the nose; a tell-tale sign of ageing often overlooked. As we age, the upper lip tends to elongate and thin out, hiding the upper teeth and flattening the expression. The lip lift elevates the vermillion border, increasing lip fullness while enhancing facial balance. This added a rejuvenated, feminine softness to the patient’s overall appearance, subtly refreshing her smile.

Mini Lower Blepharoplasty

Tired-looking eyes are among the most common aesthetic concerns for patients in their fifties. A mini lower blepharoplasty was selected to address under-eye bags and fine lines while maintaining the natural contour of the lower eyelids. Unlike a full blepharoplasty, the mini approach is less invasive, with a shorter recovery time and minimal scarring. By removing excess skin and redistributing fat, the procedure brightened the eyes and gave the patient a well-rested, energised look.

The Power of Fat Transfer

One of the most important aspects of this transformation was the fat transfer to the face. Volume loss is a defining characteristic of facial ageing. As fat pads shift and diminish, the face can appear hollow, gaunt, and tired. Instead of relying solely on synthetic fillers, Mr Tiryaki uses the patient’s own fat—harvested from areas such as the abdomen or thighs—purified and strategically reinjected into key areas of the face.

Fat transfer offers multiple benefits:

• Natural integration: Because the fat comes from the patient’s own body, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
• Longevity: Unlike temporary fillers, fat grafts can establish blood supply and survive long term, making the results more enduring.
• Skin quality improvement: Fat contains regenerative stem cells which have been shown to improve skin tone, elasticity and texture over time.
• Soft, natural volume: The result is a youthful, hydrated appearance that avoids the overfilled look of synthetic alternatives.

For this patient, fat transfer was used to restore youthful fullness to the cheeks, temples and under-eye hollows, blending seamlessly with the surgical results and enhancing the overall harmony of her features.

A Bespoke Approach to Beauty

What truly sets Mr Tiryaki apart is his approach to aesthetic surgery. He understands that no two faces (and no two patients) are the same. During the consultation process, he takes time to listen and evaluate, not just clinically, but personally. Understanding his patients’ goals, emotional drivers and lifestyle helps him tailor a surgical plan that reflects their identity, not just an aesthetic trend.

His refined techniques are built on decades of surgical experience and pioneering research in facial anatomy and regenerative medicine. The goal is never to change someone’s face but to reveal its best, most confident version, always in harmony with the patient’s character and expressions.

“Mr Tiryaki listened so carefully and understood exactly what I wanted. I never felt rushed. Every detail was explained, and I felt completely supported throughout. He made me feel excited, not nervous. And now, I feel more ‘me’ than I have in years.”

The Results: Confidence Reclaimed

The outcome of this integrated facial rejuvenation was a fresher, more rested and naturally youthful appearance. The jawline is sculpted, the eyes brighter and the face fuller and more radiant. Importantly, no single element draws attention; it’s a transformation that whispers rather than shouts. Friends have commented on how well she looks, without guessing she’s had surgery.

This subtlety is the hallmark of excellence in aesthetic surgery. And for this patient, the impact goes beyond the reflection.
