Dr. Şirinoğlu'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Hakan Şirinoğlu is recognized for his innovative approach to facial rejuvenation, particularly as the innovator of the Temporal Face Lift (TFL). This specialized technique addresses aging in the temple and upper face, an area often overlooked by conventional facelift methods, allowing for more comprehensive rejuvenation. His practice also prominently features the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated procedure that repositions the deeper SMAS layer. This method is employed to achieve results that are both natural in appearance and notably longer-lasting, distinguishing his work from traditional facelift techniques. Patients frequently highlight his expertise in these advanced facial procedures.

His surgical identity is rooted in facial aging correction. Rather than offering a broad menu of unrelated procedures, Dr. Şirinoğlu has concentrated much of his practice on the deep plane facelift and the temporal lift — two operations that reposition the deeper structures of the face rather than simply tightening skin.
Medical training forms the foundation of his approach. Dr. Şirinoğlu completed his medical education at Marmara University, one of Turkey's established medical faculties, before pursuing specialization in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Professional affiliation connects him to the national surgical community. He is a member of TSPRAS, the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, which sets professional standards for the field within Turkey.
The deep plane facelift represents a technically demanding form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for a surgical facelift). This method works beneath the SMAS layer — the sheet of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face — to reposition sagging tissue at its source.
Dr. Şirinoğlu's clinical emphasis reflects a modern understanding of facial aging. The goal of the deep plane technique is natural-looking rejuvenation, restoring the youthful position of the cheeks and jawline without the pulled, tight appearance associated with older skin-only facelifts.
His practice serves both Turkish and international patients. The clinic's designation as an International Health Tourism Center indicates that its infrastructure is organized to receive patients traveling from abroad for facial surgery.
Recovery guidance forms part of his patient care philosophy. Because the deep plane facelift involves work beneath the muscle layer, Dr. Şirinoğlu's team prepares patients for a structured recovery timeline that unfolds over several weeks and months.
Istanbul provides a distinctive setting for his work. The city functions as an East-meets-West medical hub, where European surgical training meets an accessible and well-developed private healthcare sector.
Dr. Şirinoğlu also performs the temporal lift, a procedure that elevates the outer brow and upper facial region. This operation complements the deep plane facelift for patients seeking rejuvenation of the upper third of the face.
His approach favors comprehensive facial harmony over isolated correction. Many deep plane facelift patients combine their surgery with adjunctive procedures such as eyelid surgery or fat transfer to achieve balanced rejuvenation across the whole face.
Communication across languages is part of the clinic's operation. With an international patient base, Dr. Şirinoğlu and his team accommodate consultations and correspondence in English alongside Turkish.
His social presence offers a window into his surgical results. Through his Instagram account @drhakansirinoglu, prospective patients can observe examples of his facial rejuvenation work and postoperative outcomes.
Patients considering facial surgery in Istanbul often begin their research with credential verification. Dr. Şirinoğlu's listed EBOPRAS certification, Marmara University education, and TSPRAS membership together form the professional profile of an established facial surgeon working in one of Turkey's most competitive aesthetic markets.
What recent patients say
4.4 / 5 · 221 Google reviewsI had a 'Temporal Lift' surgery with our dear doctor Hakan a year ago. I am very pleased with the result. It created a natural and effective look on my face.🌸 A warm and friendly team environment, a wonderful doctor. I would like to thank him and his team very much. Happy March 14th Medical Day, doctor. 💐🙂
Dr. Hakan is a doctor who does his job very well. His team is also very professional; they handle the entire process with great seriousness and sensitivity. If you are an anxious and controlling patient, I would definitely recommend him. His professionalism, high energy, and friendly demeanor eliminate all your anxieties, allowing you to undergo the operation with peace of mind. I thank Dr. Hakan and his team.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Prof. Dr. Hakan Sirinoglu for his professionalism, humanity, and exceptional care. From the very first consultation until the post-operative follow-ups, I felt safe, understood, and supported. Prof. Dr. Hakan is not only an outstanding surgeon, but also a truly kind and empathetic person who takes the time to explain everything calmly and honestly. I underwent temporal lifting and lower blepharoplasty, and the entire experience was handled with great precision and care. Before the surgery, he personally reassured me, and after the operation, the follow-up care was attentive and thorough. During the recovery period, I experienced normal swelling, bruising, tightness, and sensitivity — all of which were clearly explained in advance and managed with detailed guidance. This transparency gave me peace of mind and confidence throughout the healing process. I also want to thank his assistants and the entire medical team for their kindness, responsiveness, and constant support. I never felt alone during this journey. Today, I can honestly say that I am very happy with my decision. The results look natural, elegant, and respectful of my facial features. I wholeheartedly recommend Prof. Dr. Hakan Sirinoglu to anyone seeking not only excellent surgical results, but also genuine care, trust, and professionalism. Thank you from my heart.
I cannot thank Dr. Hakan and his team enough. The entire experience, from pre-operative to post-operative, was perfect for me. I am extremely happy with the results, from my doctor's initial assessment and assessments during the treatment process. Dr. Hakan is a highly skilled surgeon with excellent professional abilities. One of the most important things for me is that Dr. Hakan, through his routine monthly check-ups and interventions over the past year, made me feel psychologically secure. My deepest gratitude to him and his team for their approach, care, communication style, and professionalism…

Dr. Hakan Şirinoğlu approaches the deep plane facelift as an operation on the deeper anatomy of the face rather than on the skin alone. This distinction is the defining principle of the technique and shapes every stage of the procedure.
The SMAS layer sits at the center of this method. SMAS stands for the superficial musculoaponeurotic system — a continuous sheet of muscle and fibrous tissue that lies beneath the skin and supports the soft tissues of the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
