Dr. Gencer'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Mehmet Gencer's signature technique in facial rejuvenation centers on the deep plane facelift, a specialized procedure he employs to achieve natural-looking and enduring results. His methodology involves meticulously addressing the deeper anatomical structures of the face, specifically the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer. By repositioning this foundational layer, Dr. Gencer ensures a comprehensive lift that not only rejuvenates the facial contours but also provides a more stable and long-lasting outcome. This advanced surgical approach is fundamental to his practice, reflecting his commitment to utilizing sophisticated techniques for transformative facial aesthetics.

He completed his medical education at İzmir University of Economics, building a foundation in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery before dedicating his clinical attention to facial procedures.
Dr. Gencer is listed as a member of TSPRAS, the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, a national body that reflects a surgeon's engagement with organized professional standards.
His clinical interest centers on the deep plane facelift, a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach aims for a refreshed appearance that ages more gracefully over time.
At his Istanbul practice, Dr. Gencer offers a broad menu of facial procedures. These include the temporal lift, midface lift, neck lift, eyelid aesthetics, and facial fat transfer alongside his signature facelift work.
Dr. Gencer describes an individualized surgical philosophy, promoting what his practice presents as a Tri-Plane Vertical Lift concept rather than a single standardized procedure applied to every face.
Patients considering surgery with him typically begin with a consultation. His clinic outlines a staged process — first inspection, determination of the most suitable application, answering questions, and setting an operation date together.
The deep plane facelift he performs targets the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of connective tissue and muscle beneath the skin) to reposition sagging tissue at its foundation.
Istanbul, where Dr. Gencer practices, has long served as an East-meets-West medical hub. The city draws patients from Europe, the Middle East, and beyond who seek facial rejuvenation from surgeons working in an established plastic surgery community.
Recovery is a subject Dr. Gencer's practice addresses directly with prospective patients, setting expectations for the swelling, bruising, and gradual tissue healing that follow any deep plane procedure.
His website is offered in multiple languages, including English, Turkish, German, Russian, and Arabic, reflecting an orientation toward an international audience considering facial surgery in Istanbul.
Dr. Gencer's stated focus on both surgical and non-surgical aesthetics means patients may explore a range of options, from full facelift surgery to less invasive treatments, during their consultation.
Prospective patients are encouraged to research any surgeon thoroughly, verify credentials independently, and view before-and-after documentation before committing to a deep plane facelift.
For women in the 55-to-65 age range weighing facial rejuvenation, Dr. Gencer represents one of many experienced options within Istanbul's competitive surgical landscape — a choice best made after careful personal consultation and independent verification of his background.

Dr. Gencer's Surgical Approach
The deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Mehmet Gencer works beneath the skin's surface to reposition the deeper structural layers of the face.
The deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Mehmet Gencer works beneath the skin's surface to reposition the deeper structural layers of the face. This distinguishes it from older techniques that relied primarily on tightening skin alone.
Central to this approach is the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a continuous sheet of connective tissue and muscle that sits between the skin and the deeper facial structures. In a deep plane technique, the surgeon works below this layer rather than simply pulling it.
