About

European Board-certified in facial plastic surgery, Prof. Gürkan Kayabaşoğlu practices facial rejuvenation and deep plane facelift surgery in the Şişli district of Istanbul, Turkey. As of July 2026, he brings more than 12 years of clinical experience to a field where anatomical precision defines the outcome.

Prof. Gürkan Kayabaşoğlu is a specialist in otorhinolaryngology and oral, facial, and maxillofacial surgery. This dual foundation in both ear-nose-throat medicine and facial surgery gives him a detailed understanding of the structures beneath the skin.

Read more ▾

His credentials are listed as EBO-ORL-FPS, a European Board qualification in otorhinolaryngology and facial plastic surgery. This pathway is one of the more demanding routes into facial surgery across Europe.

He completed his medical education with training connected to Sakarya University, building a career that spans more than a decade of facial procedures. His practice focuses heavily on the aging face and the techniques used to restore it.

Deep plane facelift surgery sits at the center of his facial rejuvenation work. This technique lifts the face at a deeper anatomical level rather than simply tightening the skin, aiming for results that look natural in motion and at rest.

His philosophy, drawn from his own writing, treats each face as unique — the same principle he applies to noses, where he notes that eight billion people should have eight billion different profiles. That individualized view shapes how he plans a facelift.

Alongside deep plane facelift work, Prof. Kayabaşoğlu performs rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and chin augmentation. This range allows him to address the face as a connected whole rather than a single feature.

His surgical interest in the SMAS layer — the supportive sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin — reflects the modern approach to rhytidectomy, the medical term for a facelift. Working at this level is what distinguishes a deep plane result.

Prof. Kayabaşoğlu is affiliated with TSPRAS, the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. Membership in a recognized national society is one marker patients can weigh when researching a facial surgeon.

His practice is located in Harbiye, on Mim Kemal Öke Cd. in the Şişli district, an area of Istanbul known for its clinics and central access. The location places him within one of the most established medical corridors of the city.

Istanbul itself is a meeting point of European and Asian medical culture, and Prof. Kayabaşoğlu works within that East-meets-West tradition of facial surgery. The city has become a recognized destination for facial rejuvenation.

Recovery is treated as part of the surgical plan in his approach, with attention to how tissue heals after deep plane dissection. Patients are guided through the phases of swelling, settling, and final refinement over several months.

His maxillofacial background informs how he approaches the deeper framework of the face, including the chin and jawline. This structural view supports outcomes that balance the entire lower face rather than one isolated area.

Prof. Kayabaşoğlu maintains an active professional presence, including published articles, television appearances, and educational content shared through his practice. This visibility reflects an ongoing engagement with the field of facial plastic surgery.

For women considering facial rejuvenation in Istanbul, Prof. Gürkan Kayabaşoğlu represents an established, board-qualified option whose work centers on the deeper anatomical techniques of modern facelift surgery.

I spent about a year researching doctors. After very detailed evaluations, I chose Gürkan Kayabaşoğlu. Having done such extensive research, I believe I chose the right doctor. Looking back today, I see once again how correct my decision was. Dr. Gürkan is truly a very successful and experienced doctor. He is cheerful and very sincere. He has a reassuring approach to his patients. His positive energy always puts people at ease. I felt very safe before and after the operation. All the procedures I underwent went smoothly and very successfully. I am extremely satisfied with the result. For me, it was very important that the doctor was attentive not only during the operation but also afterwards. I would especially like to thank his assistant, Ms. Helin, for this. She was always very attentive and supportive before and after the surgery. I was able to reach her with any questions I had. I was never left without support. Dr. Gürkan's experience and professionalism, gained from years of performing these procedures, are truly evident. Both his success as a doctor and his approach to his patients were a very special experience for me. Even though I'm very meticulous and thorough in choosing a doctor, I would still choose Gürkan Kayabaşoğlu without hesitation today. I would like to thank him and his team for their hard work, attention, and positive energy. He is definitely a doctor I can recommend with complete confidence.

I don’t even know where to begin, because “thank you” feels too small to express how grateful and happy I am. ❤️ Choosing to have my surgery with Dr. Gürkan Kayabaşoğlu was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the very first moment, I felt that I was in the hands of people who genuinely cared. The entire team was incredibly kind, professional and supportive, and every little detail made me feel safe and comfortable throughout this journey. Dr. Gürkan Kayabaşoğlu is truly an exceptional surgeon. He is incredibly intelligent, professional and talented, but what impressed me most is that he has a real gift for what he does. He understood exactly what I wanted and created a result that makes me feel beautiful, feminine and, most importantly, more confident in myself. This surgery was not only about changing something on the outside. For me, it was about feeling better in my own skin, and today I can honestly say that I am extremely happy with my decision. Every time I look in the mirror, I smile. ❤️ I also want to thank the entire team. Our supervisor was such a warm, kind and understanding woman, beautiful both inside and out. Our medical coordinator and interpreter was always by our side, helping us, translating everything, guiding us through every step and reassuring us whenever we had any concerns. And the lovely lady who took care of the cleaning always welcomed us with the biggest smile and such warmth. These details may seem small, but together they made the entire experience feel truly special. I came to Istanbul with excitement, hope and, of course, some fears. I am leaving with an incredibly happy heart and so much gratitude. I feel genuinely lucky that our paths crossed. I am grateful not only for the result, but also for the people I met along the way. Thank you, Dr. Gürkan Kayabaşoğlu, and thank you to your entire team, for giving me something that goes far beyond a beautiful result — you gave me more confidence, more happiness and a beautiful new chapter in my life. ❤️ I would choose you again without hesitation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

I had jaw surgery with Dr. Gürkan. Today is my 12th day, and the process has been going very well so far; I've had almost no pain. The surgery went very smoothly, and I'm currently in the recovery period. I especially want to thank Ms. Ece for her close attention throughout the entire process. She is extremely understanding; whenever I asked her anything, she always helped me. I will update my review again after I'm fully recovered. Thank you to everyone involved!

Where is Prof. Kayabaşoğlu located?
Prof. Kayabaşoğlu practices at Harbiye, Mim Kemal Öke Cd. No: 6 Kat: 2, 34367 Şişli/İstanbul in Istanbul, Turkey. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery.

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. Prof. Kayabaşoğlu 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. Prof. Kayabaşoğlu can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.

Yes, Prof. Kayabaşoğlu has 2 before and after photo sets on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, showing a range of ages, anatomical starting points, and result timelines.
