Very knowledgeable and helpful Plastic Surgeon who will not lead you on to take your money but will give a genuine advice to make sure he delivers the best results. He will also make sure that if the procedure can cause a threat to your health he will simply refuse to take the risk. The aftercare was more than expected and I am glad I chose Dr. Kadri Akinci at a personal recommendation of my best friend.

I had deep plane facelift combined with a neck lift with Dr. Kadri Akıncı about six months ago. From the first consultation to the follow-up visits, the entire process felt professional and well organized. I was very clear that I wanted a natural, masculine result without looking ‘overdone,’ and that’s exactly what I got. At this point, my face and neck look noticeably more refreshed, firm, and defined, while still looking completely natural. Nothing looks tight or artificial. Friends and colleagues have commented that I look healthier and more rested, without being able to tell I had surgery. The recovery process was smoother than I expected, and I always felt well informed and supported by Dr. Akıncı and his team. Six months in, I’m genuinely happy with the outcome and would confidently recommend Dr. Akıncı to men considering a masculine facelift and neck lift.

The deep plane facelift technique employed by surgeons like MD Kadri Akıncı represents an evolution in facial rejuvenation surgery. This advanced procedure addresses facial aging by repositioning the SMAS layer and its associated structures rather than simply tightening superficial tissues.

The deep plane facelift technique employed by surgeons like MD Kadri Akıncı represents an evolution in facial rejuvenation surgery. This advanced procedure addresses facial aging by repositioning the SMAS layer and its associated structures rather than simply tightening superficial tissues.

The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) forms a crucial anatomical plane in the face, connecting facial muscles to overlying skin. During deep plane dissection, the surgeon carefully releases specific ligaments that tether this layer, allowing for comprehensive repositioning of facial tissues.
