What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
The deep plane facelift is the gold standard for facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional facelifts that only address skin, this advanced technique lifts the deeper SMAS layer and fat pads together, creating more natural, longer-lasting results that typically last 10-15 years.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Choose a surgeon who specializes in deep plane technique specifically — not all facelift surgeons are trained in this method. Ask to see their deep plane portfolio separately from general facelift results.
Insider Note:
Plan for 10–14 days minimum in Turkey. Deep plane facelifts have longer initial recovery than traditional lifts, but the extended 10–15 year results make the extra recovery time worthwhile.

Antalya Estetik/Plastic Surgery Antalya
"On November 25, 2025, Op. Dr. performed surgery for my drooping upper and lower eyelids. After a very friendly welcome in a very clean environment, I had a very painless and comfortable surgery. He even restored my eyes to an almond-shaped shape, which made me incredibly happy. His expertise made me feel at ease, as I was very apprehensive, and his reassuring approach was very pleasant. I owe him a debt of gratitude."

Berke Özücer, MD Assoc.Prof Otolaryngology, International Board Certified Facial Plastic & Recons. Surgeon, Doctor Be+ Clinic
"I’m a 57 year old female from Texas and did extensive research on plastic surgeons in Texas, the U.S. and globally. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is that your surgeon has experience in deep plane facelifts as most plastic surgeons still practice SMAS facelifts that won’t give you the 10-15 year lasting results that a deep plane facelift will provide. While the deep plane approach is more demanding than SMAS, its success depends on the surgeon’s experience, anatomical knowledge, and innate surgical ability. This is where Dr. Be+ excels and why I ultimately selected him. Dr. Be+ specializes in facial anatomy and what sets him apart from other plastic surgeons is that half of his practice is dedicated to facial paralysis and synkinesis. Deep plane surgeries involve significant manipulation and movement of muscles and the real risk of nerve damage. Dr. Be+’s practice is focused on repairing facial paralysis and nerve damage. This expertise provided me the confidence to travel to Istanbul to get a deep plane facelift with Dr. Be+. Besides feeling safe with Dr. Be+, I could not be happier with my results. Dr. Be+ focuses on natural results that fit your facial anatomy. You can see my photos above that provide before surgery, 1 week after surgery, and 1 month after surgery my results. I have minimal scarring even though I have not started my scar treatments. I also had minimal pain and was able to tour Istanbul to make a vacation out of the trip just a few days after surgery. I enjoyed my experience from my first virtual consultation to my surgery in the most beautiful hospital I have ever seen (Memorial Göztepe Hastanesi), to my follow up appointments. Dr. Be+ is not only a wonderful surgeon, but he is a wonderful person. He cares about his patients and has the best bedside manner. His staff is also accommodating and speaks English. I am so happy with my overall experience, I plan to do a Youtube series detailing the surgery. I will include my research on doctors and range of costs and how I arrived at selecting Dr. Be+. Clearly, getting my procedures in Turkey cost less than what it costs in the U.S. But, even if I were gifted the procedures with the top deep plane doctors in the U.S., I would still choose Dr/ Be+ knowing what I know today."

Doç. Dr. Tahsin Oğuz Acartürk
"In a field like reconstructive surgery, which requires both expertise and extreme sensitivity, the success achieved by our doctor Tahsin is truly remarkable. After the trust and satisfaction he instilled in Marmaris, I believe he now presents a great opportunity for patients in Izmir. With both his surgical experience and his compassionate approach, he is a physician who can be confidently chosen."
