Facial Fat Injection (Fat Transfer to Face)
Facial fat injection, also called autologous fat grafting or lipofilling, uses your own body fat — harvested via mini-liposuction from areas such as the abdomen or thighs — to restore volume to the face. Fat is purified and injected in small amounts to fill hollow cheeks, under-eye hollows, temples, nasolabial folds, and lips.
How It Works
Fat harvesting: Mini-liposuction collects a small amount of fat (typically 20-50 ml) from a donor area under local anaesthesia.
Purification: The harvested fat is processed to isolate healthy fat cells.
Injection: Purified fat is injected into the face using fine cannulas in multiple small passes, building volume gradually for a natural result.
Duration: 1 to 2 hours.
Anaesthesia: Local with sedation.
Recovery: Swelling for 1 to 2 weeks. Social downtime 7 to 10 days. Final result at 3 to 6 months (once surviving fat stabilises).
Key Benefits
Natural material — your own tissue, no foreign substances
Dual benefit — slims the donor area while adding facial volume
Long-lasting — 50 to 70 per cent of injected fat survives permanently
No allergic reactions — autologous tissue has zero rejection risk
Can be combined with facelift, rhinoplasty, or blepharoplasty

Fox Eyes Surgery (Canthopexy)
Fox eyes surgery, technically a lateral canthopexy or canthoplasty, lifts the outer corners of the eyes to create an almond-shaped, upswept appearance. The procedure has surged in popularity, inspired by celebrities and models with naturally elongated, "cat eye" or "fox eye" features.
How It Works
The surgeon lifts and tightens the lateral canthal tendon — the structure that anchors the outer corner of the eye to the orbital bone. This elevates the outer corner, creating a subtle upward slant. Additional techniques may include a temporal lift (lifting the outer brow and temple area) and, in some cases, a small incision to extend the eye aperture laterally.
Duration: 1 to 1.5 hours.
Anaesthesia: Local with sedation or general.
Recovery: Swelling and bruising around the eyes for 1 to 2 weeks. Social downtime 10 to 14 days. Final result at 2 to 3 months.

Dimpleplasty
Dimpleplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that creates natural-looking dimples in the cheeks. Dimples are caused by a small defect in the buccinator muscle (the muscle used in chewing), and dimpleplasty replicates this by creating a small connection between the inner cheek muscle and the skin surface.
How It Works
Marking: The surgeon marks the desired dimple location based on facial proportions and your preference.
Incision: A small incision is made inside the mouth on the inner cheek (no external scars).
Muscle attachment: A small suture connects the buccinator muscle to the undersurface of the skin, creating a dimple when you smile.
Healing: The dimple is visible continuously for the first 2 to 3 weeks (even without smiling), then settles to appear only when smiling — just like a natural dimple.
Duration: 20 to 30 minutes.
Anaesthesia: Local.
Recovery: Minimal. Swelling inside the cheeks for 3 to 5 days. Resume normal activities the next day.
Important Considerations
The dimple is permanent once healed
Position and depth are customisable during the consultation
The dimple initially appears constant (even at rest) but evolves over 2 to 4 weeks to appear only during smiling
Minor asymmetry between sides can occur and may require a small adjustment
Pricing
Dimpleplasty starts from £1,371 / $1,730 / €2,000 all-inclusive. UK clinics charge £2,500 to £4,000. US clinics charge $3,000 to $5,000.
Lip Surgery (Lip Lift and Lip Reduction)
Lip Lift
A lip lift, specifically a subnasal (bullhorn) lip lift, shortens the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip border. This exposes more of the pink lip (the vermillion), creates a more defined Cupid's bow, and gives the upper lip a fuller, more youthful appearance — without adding volume with fillers.
As we age, the upper lip elongates and the vermillion thins, making the lip appear flat and less defined. A lip lift reverses this directly by removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose and advancing the lip upward.
Duration: 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Anaesthesia: Local.
Recovery: Sutures removed at 5 to 7 days. Swelling for 1 to 2 weeks. Scar hidden in the crease beneath the nose and fades to near-invisible within 3 to 6 months.
Lip Lift price: from £1,671 / $2,108 / €1,350 all-inclusive. UK clinics charge £2,500 to £4,000. US clinics charge $3,000 to $5,500.
Lip Reduction
Lip reduction surgery reduces the volume of overly full lips to create a more proportionate facial balance. The surgeon removes a strip of tissue from inside the lip (either upper, lower, or both), then closes with fine sutures. The incision is hidden inside the mouth or along the lip border.
Duration: 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Anaesthesia: Local.
Recovery: Swelling for 1 to 2 weeks. Sutures dissolve within 7 to 10 days.
Lip Reduction price: from £2,614 / $3,000 / €2,600 all-inclusive. UK clinics charge £3,000 to £5,000. US clinics charge $4,000 to $6,500.
How much does dimpleplasty cost in Turkey?
Dimpleplasty starts from £1,710 / $2,180 / €2,000 all-inclusive at MedProper. UK clinics charge £2,500 to £4,000.
Is fox eye surgery permanent?
Yes, surgical canthopexy produces a permanent result. Thread-based fox eye lifts are temporary (6-12 months). MedProper performs only the surgical approach.
Does a lip lift leave a visible scar?
The scar is hidden in the crease at the base of the nose and fades to near-invisible within 3 to 6 months. Scarless techniques (incision inside the nose) are available for select candidates.
Is facial fat transfer permanent?
Approximately 50 to 70 per cent of transferred fat survives permanently. The surviving fat cells integrate into facial tissue and behave like natural fat. A touch-up session can be performed if additional volume is desired.
