What procedures does Dr. Hakan Bulam specialize in?
Dr. Hakan Bulam specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, neck lift, and facial rejuvenation, practicing in Turkey.

He is recognized for his meticulous approach to complex facial aesthetic procedures. Dr.
Is Dr. Bulam board certified?
Dr. Bulam is listed as board-certified by EBOPRAS, based on publicly available information such as clinic websites, medical society directories, and official registries. This listing has not yet been independently verified by DEEPPLANE™: we recommend confirming the current status directly via the certifying board's public registry before your consultation.
How can I book a consultation with Dr. Bulam?
Dr. Bulam has not yet taken ownership of this profile, so contact is routed through our location-based inquiry: submit the secure inquiry form above and we'll forward your request to verified deep plane facelift surgeons in Istanbul.
How much does a deep plane facelift cost in Turkey?
Dr. Bulam has not published deep plane facelift pricing on DEEPPLANE™. Across the 181 Turkey specialists in our registry, listed deep plane facelift pricing typically runs $10,000–$12,000.

Patient reviews for Dr. Bulam are available on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, alongside any public Google reviews linked to the clinic. Patients who have undergone a deep plane facelift can share their experience through our structured review system, which collects separate ratings for surgical outcome, communication, recovery support, and overall value to help future patients make informed decisions.
Where is Dr. Bulam located?
Dr. Bulam practices in Istanbul, Turkey. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Bulam provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues (including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments) rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Bulam can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
