Why there is no single headline price
A deep plane facelift is a longer and more individual operation than a standard SMAS lift, usually taking 4–6 hours. How much work is needed on the mid-face, whether the neck is included and whether eyelids or fat transfer are added all change the time in theatre. For that reason New City Clinic prepares a free personal quote rather than publishing one fixed figure.
To give you a reference point, the published package for a standard facelift is €3,000 and a face and neck lift is €4,500. Your deep plane quote is written in the same all-inclusive format, so you can compare it directly with those packages.
What the quote covers
The deep plane quote follows the same all-inclusive structure as every New City Clinic surgical package:
- Surgery by a plastic surgeon under general anaesthesia
- One night in a licensed private hospital in Istanbul
- Hotel accommodation for about ten days in total
- Airport and hotel–hospital transfers
- Blood tests, anaesthesia assessment, coordinator and interpreter
- Garments, dressings where needed and complication insurance
Factors that move the price up or down
The list is the same whether your quote covers the deep plane lift alone or a combination with the neck, eyelids or fat transfer. What changes is the operating time and, sometimes, the number of nights in the hotel. Because the deep plane recovery is a little longer, the hotel stay is planned for about ten days in total, and that is already part of the figure you receive from New City Clinic rather than an add-on.
The biggest variable is the neck. Most deep plane facelifts are combined with tightening of the platysma muscle under the chin, because a lifted jawline above a loose neck looks unbalanced. Adding upper or lower eyelid surgery, a brow lift or fat transfer to hollow cheeks also adds operating time, and sometimes an extra day or two in Istanbul.
Flights are never included, and you should budget for about ten days in Istanbul plus two to three weeks away from work in total. If you travel with a companion, mention it when you request your quote so it can be planned.
How to get an accurate figure
The more precise your photos, the more precise the quote. Send the face from the front, both profiles, both sides at 45° and the neck with the chin slightly lowered, in good daylight and without make-up. Add a short health history and any previous facial treatments, including fillers or threads.
The surgeon reviews the photos and you usually receive a written plan within 24 hours, naming the technique, the hospital and the number of nights. You can also read about prices and the deep plane technique on the official website, newcityclinic.com, before you write to New City Clinic.
If you have quotes from other clinics, check that they describe the same technique. A lift called deep plane in one brochure may be a limited SMAS lift in practice, which makes price comparisons misleading.
