2 weeks ago I underwent an extended tummy tuck, pubis lift, liposuction, thigh lift, boob uplift and implants. Credit where credit is due… Dr Yakup Duman has and was amazing!! As well as the 2nd surgeon that assisted Dr Kadri Akinci! They are so honest in what they thought was best for me and I’ll be forever grateful. I couldn’t have done this without my Co-Ordinator Nesrin, she was there when I needed her, for reassurance, to hold my hand and continues to be there for support and guidance. It’s normal to feel scared and nervous but I can assure you the care and attention I received from Merkez Prime Hospital was second to none and I don’t have the words to thank them - any of them. These surgeons really are magic with their hands, and Nesrin really is the kindest soul 🤍 ⭐ thank you

WhatsApp consultation is available for convenient real-time communication and photo exchange. You may also visit the official clinic website for additional scheduling options. Many verified surgeons offer complimentary virtual consultations for international patients considering a deep plane facelift.
What is the cost of a deep plane facelift with Dr. Duman?
Dr. Duman's stated deep plane facelift price is $10,000. Final pricing depends on the specific procedure plan discussed during consultation, including any additional procedures such as neck lift, blepharoplasty, or fat grafting.

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. Duman 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. Duman can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
How experienced is Dr. Duman with deep plane facelifts?
Dr. Duman has 15+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Over 8,000 procedures have been performed across the career, with deep plane facelift as a core focus. Board-certified by TPRECD, confirming completion of accredited residency training and passage of written and oral examinations. Active member of TSPRAS, which requires ongoing peer review and continuing education. High-volume specialisation is one of the strongest predictors of complication-free outcomes.
Can I see before and after photos of Dr. Duman's work?
Yes, Dr. Duman has 11 before and after photo sets on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, showing a range of ages, anatomical starting points, and result timelines. Photos have been collated from public clinic sources. When reviewing galleries, look for patients with facial anatomy similar to yours and for results photographed at least 3-6 months post-op, when final swelling has resolved.
