Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu'S PERSPECTIVES

AI-assisted profile summary
Natural-looking resultsDeeper structure repositioningMulti-layer facial correctionSub-SMAS anatomical precisionComprehensive facial harmony

Signature technique

Dr. Gündeşlioğlu's deep plane approach emphasizes a precise understanding of sub-SMAS anatomical layers. The technique involves repositioning deeper facial structures to address multi-layer aging changes. This contrasts with simple skin-only tightening, aiming for results that appear natural. Her extensive training, underpinned by EBOPRAS and TPCD certifications, focuses on the complex facial anatomy required for these sophisticated procedures.

Ask Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu about the technique

Recovery view

Recovery involves careful post-operative management within Izmir's supportive climate and healthcare infrastructure. The Medicana Health Group provides multilingual support for international patients throughout their healing process. Personalized treatment plans are developed during consultations, which also cover recovery expectations and support systems. This structured approach aims to facilitate a smooth initial healing phase in a favorable environment.

Ask Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu about your recovery

Who is a candidate

Ideal candidates present with facial aging affecting multiple tissue layers, requiring repositioning of deeper structures. Patients typically seek comprehensive aesthetic solutions beyond simple skin tightening. Suitability is determined during a thorough consultation, which evaluates individual anatomy, aesthetic goals, and medical history. Candidacy relies on a shared understanding of the deep plane approach and realistic outcome expectations.

Ask Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu about whether you're a candidate

Pricing philosophy

Pricing structures are established during consultation, reflecting the comprehensive care environment provided by dual certification and institutional support. The practice operates within Izmir's medical tourism market, where patients evaluate diverse options. The focus remains on thorough surgical planning and delivery within a structured medical group, rather than on discounted services. Value is emphasized through qualifications and support infrastructure.

About

With over 12 years of surgical practice and a clinical focus that spans reconstructive and aesthetic facial surgery, Prof. Dr. Özlem Gündeşlioğlu is a plastic surgeon based in İzmir, Turkey, who is listed as focusing on deep plane facelift surgery, facial rejuvenation, and mommy makeover procedures. As of July 2026, she practices at İzmir Medicana and is listed as board-certified by EBOPRAS (the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery).

Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu completed her medical education at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ankara, one of Turkey's established medical training institutions. Her academic path reflects a foundation in both reconstructive and aesthetic disciplines.

Read more

Her professional interests are noted to include head and neck surgery, encompassing tumor surgery and microsurgical reconstruction across the entire skin and head and neck region. This reconstructive depth is often valuable in facelift work, where understanding of facial anatomy directly informs surgical precision.

Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu holds the academic title of Professor, a rank reflecting years of teaching, research, and clinical contribution within Turkish academic medicine. This standing is earned over an extended career rather than granted early.

Among her stated specialties, deep plane facelift surgery represents a technically demanding procedure — one that repositions the deeper structural layers of the face rather than simply tightening the skin. Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu is listed as offering this technique within her aesthetic practice.

The deep plane approach addresses the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin). By working beneath this layer, surgeons aim to reposition sagging tissue for a natural, lasting result.

Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu is a member of the TPCD (the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons), a professional body that supports standards within the specialty in Turkey. Membership reflects engagement with the broader surgical community.

Her reconstructive background — particularly in skin cancer surgery and microsurgical reconstruction — suggests an anatomical familiarity that carries directly into facial rejuvenation work. Surgeons trained in reconstruction often bring meticulous tissue handling to aesthetic procedures.

Beyond facial surgery, Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu is listed as offering mommy makeover procedures, a combination of body-contouring operations addressing changes following pregnancy. This breadth reflects a general plastic surgery practice rather than a single-procedure focus.

İzmir, where Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu practices, is a coastal Aegean city known for its relaxed Mediterranean character and growing role as a Turkish medical destination. The city combines modern hospital infrastructure with a gentler pace than Istanbul.

Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu maintains a presence on Instagram at @profdrozlemgundeslioglu, where prospective patients may view aspects of her clinical work and educational content. Social channels increasingly serve as a first point of research for aesthetic patients.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a gradual process, and Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu's reconstructive experience may inform her approach to post-surgical care and tissue healing. Careful attention to recovery is central to achieving refined outcomes.

Her patient communication has also extended to public education, including a recorded interview addressing questions such as "What is mommy aesthetics?" — reflecting an interest in informing patients before they commit to surgery.

Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu's profile combines academic seniority, reconstructive training, and a defined aesthetic specialty in deep plane facelift surgery. For affluent patients researching facial rejuvenation in İzmir, this blend of credentials warrants direct verification during consultation.

Prospective patients are encouraged to confirm all credentials, hospital affiliations, and procedure details directly, as this profile is presented for informational research purposes.

For about a year, I had a small sore on my ear that wouldn't heal. This summer, due to excessive sun exposure during the hot weather, the sore started to grow. I saw a dermatologist twice, and both times they treated it with different creams. Unfortunately, it didn't heal. A friend who had previous experience with skin cancer told me it might be a type of tumor and therefore might need to be removed. After a brief online search, I first consulted a general surgeon. However, because the tumor was on my earlobe, I decided to see a plastic surgeon, thinking it would require a delicate procedure, and I made an appointment with Dr. Özlem. She quickly diagnosed it as Basal Cell Carcinoma. Her extremely confident and reassuring demeanor greatly influenced my decision. Within a week, a biopsy and then surgery were planned. After a successful procedure, the operation concluded with a small, almost imperceptible scar on my ear. I owe her my gratitude for being both a good doctor and a good person.

I have been struggling with Hidradenitis Suppuritiva for approximately 12 years. Two years ago, my symptoms recurred, and I've seen countless doctors and professors. They all told me there's no definitive cure. From the moment I saw her, Dr. Özlem said she could take on my treatment. Now I'm so glad our paths crossed. From the surgery to my complete recovery, she took such good care of me, answering all my questions and concerns so calmly and thoroughly that I have no doubts left. Even contacting her by phone after the surgery was very easy. I recommend her to everyone around me; she's a doctor you can trust implicitly.

Reviews typically reference communication, surgical outcome, bedside manner, and post-operative support.

Where is Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu located?
Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu practices at İzmir Medicana in İzmir, 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. Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu 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. Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.

Yes, Prof. Dr. Gündeşlioğlu has 1 before and after photo sets on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, showing a range of ages, anatomical starting points, and result timelines.
