PERSPECTIVES FROM Dr. Atsal

AI-assisted profile summary

Signature technique

Dr. Görkem Atsal's practice is distinguished by his focus on advanced facial aesthetic procedures, with a particular emphasis on the deep plane facelift technique. He highlights this method as a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation compared to traditional facelift procedures. Dr. Atsal explains that the deep plane facelift involves the precise repositioning of the deeper SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer of facial tissues. This technique is crucial, in his view, because it directly addresses the underlying structural changes that contribute to facial aging, rather than merely tightening the skin. This allows for more enduring and natural-looking outcomes that reflect his commitment to advanced surgical precision.

Ask Dr. Atsal about the technique

Recovery view

Dr. Görkem Atsal outlines a clear and predictable recovery pathway for patients undergoing deep plane facelift surgery. He explains that the initial healing phase typically spans the first two weeks, during which patients can anticipate common experiences such as swelling and bruising. Dr. Atsal emphasizes that these effects gradually subside, leading to progressive improvements in appearance. He advises patients that the final, refined results of the procedure become fully apparent over a period of approximately three to six months post-surgery. This structured understanding of the recovery timeline helps patients set realistic expectations and feel supported throughout their healing journey, ensuring they are well-informed about each stage of the process.

Ask Dr. Atsal about your recovery

Who is a candidate

Dr. Görkem Atsal prioritizes a thorough and comprehensive evaluation for all prospective patients to determine their suitability for deep plane facelift or other facial rejuvenation procedures. His approach ensures that each treatment plan is meticulously tailored to the individual's specific aging patterns and aesthetic aspirations. Dr. Atsal believes this detailed assessment is fundamental to achieving optimal and natural-looking results, as it allows him to identify the most appropriate surgical or non-surgical solutions. He emphasizes that this initial consultation is a critical step in understanding patient needs and ensuring that the chosen procedure aligns perfectly with their unique facial anatomy and desired outcomes.

Pricing details for deep plane facelift and other procedures are determined following a comprehensive consultation. The public profile does not specify whether costs are presented as all-inclusive packages or fee-for-service structures.

His clinical focus centers on facial rejuvenation — the surgical restoration of a natural, refreshed appearance to the aging face. Dr. Atsal describes his philosophy on his practice website with the phrase "Your Face, Our Commitment."

The deep plane facelift is a defining part of his surgical repertoire. This technique addresses facial aging by repositioning deeper tissue layers rather than simply tightening the skin surface.

Dr. Görkem Atsal offers a range of facial procedures beyond the facelift. His practice website lists eyelid surgery, brow and temporal lift, and rhinoplasty among the services he provides.

The deep plane facelift technique he performs works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of connective tissue and muscle in the face). This deeper approach aims to reposition sagging tissue at its source.

Dr. Atsal emphasizes natural-looking outcomes in his patient communications. His website describes facial surgery as a blend of advanced medical expertise and personalized, compassionate care.

His practice serves patients seeking mid-facelift and full deep plane techniques in Istanbul. Each treatment plan is described as tailored to the individual's facial anatomy and goals.

His clinic is located within Rumeli Plaza in the Meşrutiyet neighbourhood of Şişli, a central and well-connected district of Istanbul. The location places patients close to the city's transport links and hospitality options.

Dr. Görkem Atsal maintains an active presence on Instagram under the handle @drgorkematsal.en, where his practice shares information for an English-speaking audience. This channel offers prospective patients a window into his surgical focus.

I recently had a deep plane face and neck lift with Dr. Atsal, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Dr. Atsal is an excellent surgeon — skilled, precise, and genuinely warm and caring throughout the whole process. He took the time to make sure I understood everything and felt confident every step of the way. The whole team around him deserves just as much praise. Everyone went out of their way to make me feel looked after, from the first consultation through to aftercare — kind, attentive, and reassuring at every turn. What really stood out was the transparency: everything was included, with no hidden costs cropping up along the way. The accommodation was lovely, and transfers were smooth and efficient, which made the whole trip stress-free. I'd happily recommend Dr. Atsal to anyone considering this procedure, and I'd return without hesitation in the future.

I cannot express how much I love this doctor and his staff! He was completely professional yet warm and charming at all times. His staff? Amazingly knowledgeable and helpful at anytime day or night! Gülce was my special angel from initial email until even now at 5 weeks post op. ❤️❤️❤️ They continue to care about how you are recovering after you get home. The hospital was clean, staff attentive to my needs, I had no problems with language barrier my 2 nights I was there. I am extremely happy with my results so far, excited to see my final outcome but remain a huge fan of Dr. Atsal’s excellence as a surgeon. If I have any future needs for any surgery I will be back! Many friends and family are asking how to go do the same surgery with him that I had….I feel that shows it was a great success!!! Reach out to him, you will not regret it and will be treated with the greatest care throughout the entire process!

I had an excellent experience at Dr. Görkem Atsal Clinic in Turkey. From the very first contact, the team was professional, caring, and attentive to every detail. They made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. A special thank you to Dr. for his incredible work and professionalism. He truly listened to my wishes and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. After breastfeeding three children, this procedure meant a lot to me, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The clinic staff were always kind, responsive, and helpful, ensuring everything went smoothly from arrival to recovery. I felt safe, well taken care of, and in very good hands at all times. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering a procedure in Turkey. Thank you for making this such a positive and life-changing experience!

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.

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.
