He is listed as board-certified by the TPRECD (the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery certification body), a credential relevant to surgeons performing complex facial procedures. This kind of certification signals formal training in the anatomy that deep plane surgery requires.
Dr. Şahin completed his medical education at Bursa Technical University before building a career centered in Istanbul. His path into aesthetic surgery grew alongside the city's emergence as an international destination for facial rejuvenation.
The deep plane facelift is a defining part of his stated specialization. This technique works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of tissue and muscle in the face) to reposition deeper structures rather than simply tightening skin.
His broader specialties include facial rejuvenation, body contouring, tummy tucks, and chest reductions. This range suggests a surgeon comfortable with both the delicate work of the face and the structural demands of the body.
Dr. Şahin is affiliated with TSPRAS (the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery), a professional membership that reflects engagement with national surgical standards. Society membership often indicates ongoing participation in the field's evolving practices.
His approach to facial aging emphasizes restoring natural contours rather than creating a pulled or overly tight appearance. A deep plane technique, when performed well, aims to reposition tissue so that the face looks rested rather than operated on.
Recovery is a central part of how he frames the deep plane facelift for patients. Because the technique works at a deeper anatomical level, the healing timeline follows a predictable arc that patients are guided through from consultation onward.
Istanbul serves as the backdrop for his practice, a city that sits at the meeting point of Europe and Asia. This East-meets-West medical hub has drawn international patients seeking facial rejuvenation for years.
Dr. Şahin's website presents an extensive menu of non-surgical options alongside his surgical work, including dermal fillers, mesotherapy, and thread lifting. This breadth allows patients to explore both surgical and non-surgical rejuvenation within one practice.
His regenerative medicine offerings — such as fat injection, PRP, and biostimulation treatments — reflect a modern interest in tissue-based rejuvenation. These adjuncts are sometimes discussed alongside surgical planning for facial aging.
Dr. Şahin speaks English and Turkish, which supports communication with the international patients Istanbul attracts. Clear dialogue matters enormously when planning a procedure as personal as a facelift.
His practice at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital places him within a full-service hospital environment rather than a standalone clinic. For patients weighing a surgical procedure abroad, a hospital setting can offer reassurance around facilities and support.
For women considering facial rejuvenation in their fifties and sixties, Dr. Hasan Şahin represents an experienced, established option within Istanbul's competitive surgical landscape. His combination of two decades of practice, formal certification, and a focus on deep plane technique positions him as a considered choice worth researching carefully.
What recent patients say
4.8 / 5 · 90 Google reviewsI recently came to Turkey for an advanced tummy tuck and chest reduction. 3 weeks post op now and recovering well. Very happy with the results. Dr Hasan and his team looked after me very well and I would definitely recommend their services
About two weeks ago, I had an appointment to have a sebaceous cyst removed from my forehead. I was afraid of scarring, but I got rid of that lump, which I had lived with for years, in 15 minutes, and there's no trace left. I'm so happy! The doctor was understanding and caring; I would wholeheartedly recommend going there.
I had surgery with Dr. Hasan two weeks ago. He is a highly skilled and very friendly physician. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for his help and efforts.
I would like to thank Mr. Hasan for his informative explanations and friendly demeanor throughout my pre- and post-operative process. I feel very fortunate and happy to have met him.

Dr. Şahin's Surgical Approach
Dr. Hasan Şahin approaches the deep plane facelift as a technique that works beneath the surface layers of the face rather than on the skin alone.
Dr. Hasan Şahin approaches the deep plane facelift as a technique that works beneath the surface layers of the face rather than on the skin alone. This distinguishes it from older methods that relied primarily on pulling skin tight.
The deep plane facelift centers on the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of tissue and muscle that supports the midface and gives structure to expression. As facial aging progresses, this layer descends, contributing to jowls and deepened folds.
