Editorial bio · audio
0:000:00
Dr. Barış Keklik is an Istanbul-based plastic surgeon and member of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TSPRAS), the principal national body governing aesthetic and reconstructive surgical standards in Turkey. His practice, headquartered in Istanbul, encompasses facial rejuvenation — including deep plane facelift surgery — alongside body contouring and breast procedures. Publicly available patient feedback, drawn from 75 Google reviews aggregating to a 4.8 rating, characterizes his clinical approach as measured and conservative, with reviewers noting a willingness to decline procedures deemed unnecessary. This pattern is consistent with a treatment philosophy oriented toward natural facial proportion rather than aggressive transformation — a posture editorially aligned with current deep plane SMAS-repositioning principles. Reviews appear in multiple languages, including English, suggesting practical experience treating non-Turkish-speaking patients within Istanbul's broader medical tourism corridor. However, formal international-patient coordination services, virtual consultation infrastructure, and documented language fluencies are not confirmed in the public record and warrant direct verification at the time of consultation. Dr. Keklik maintains a public surgical portfolio through his Instagram account (@bariskeklik.m.d) and a practice website at bariskeklik.com. Independent confirmation of board certification body, fellowship training, hospital affiliations, annual deep plane case volume, and published peer-reviewed work was not available in the materials reviewed. The DEEPPLANE™ editorial board classifies this profile as unverified pending direct documentation of certifying authority and procedure-specific experience.Synthetic voice.

His clinical focus spans facial rejuvenation, deep plane facelift surgery, body contouring, and breast surgery. This breadth allows Dr. Keklik to address both the face and the body within a single surgical practice.

The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. Dr. Keklik works within this approach, targeting the layers beneath the surface for results that aim to look natural rather than pulled.

Facial aging affects more than skin — it involves the descent of deeper structures, fat pads, and connective tissue. Dr. Keklik's approach to rejuvenation is designed to address these underlying changes rather than surface signs alone.

His Istanbul practice reflects the city's role as a meeting point between European and Middle Eastern aesthetic traditions. Dr. Keklik works within a metropolitan environment where surgical volume and international demand are both high.

Body contouring forms another pillar of his practice, with procedures such as tummy tuck and liposuction. This range positions Dr. Keklik as a surgeon who addresses full-body aesthetic concerns.

Recovery is a subject Dr. Keklik reportedly discusses in detail with prospective patients. A deep plane facelift involves a healing period during which swelling and bruising gradually subside over several weeks.

His practice communicates in multiple languages, with website content available in Turkish, English, German, and Dutch. This multilingual presence suggests an orientation toward patients traveling from abroad.

Dr. Keklik's public presence includes an active Instagram account under the handle bariskeklik.m.d, where surgical topics and results are shared. Social media visibility has become a common way for surgeons in Istanbul to communicate their work.

His stated philosophy, drawn from patient accounts, emphasizes recommending only necessary procedures. This conservative surgical judgment is a quality many prospective facelift patients actively seek.

For women aged 55 to 65 considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Keklik represents an option within Istanbul's competitive surgical landscape. His combination of academic training, professional membership, and over a decade of experience forms the foundation of his profile.

Prospective patients researching deep plane facelift surgery in Istanbul may find Dr. Keklik's blend of facial and body expertise relevant to their goals. His documented focus on natural-looking rejuvenation aligns with the priorities of many mature patients.

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.
