Dr. Doğan'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Doğan's practice focuses on the deep plane facelift technique. This approach repositions deeper facial tissues, specifically beneath the SMAS layer, to address underlying facial structures rather than solely tightening skin. His Ph.D. in Anatomy provides a foundational understanding of the complex facial musculature, fat compartments, and ligamentous structures crucial for this precise surgical method. The technique targets the root causes of facial sagging.

What recent patients say
4.4 / 5 · 65 Google reviewsDr.Teoman and his team supported my entire process with the trust they inspired from the very first moment. I experienced no bruising or swelling before or after the operation, and I was able to return to my daily life easily. The results were both very natural and truly amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.
Dear Doctor Dogan Thank you so much for your work and effort in widening my nasal passages recently. It was a very comfortable procedure for me. I hope the cosmetic procedure will be completed later, as you recently promised, and that the result will be as amazing and satisfying as the breathing procedure. You are truly an amazing doctor. Thank you, and may God protect you.
It's an experience that can't be described, only lived. I want to thank Dr. Teoman and his team for treating me like angels and sending me off so warmly. Please don't believe the negative reviews; I don't think they're true. He and his team are angels. Today is the 8th day after my surgery, and I can honestly say it was the best decision of my life.

Dr. Doğan's Surgical Approach
Dr. Teoman Doğan approaches the deep plane facelift as a procedure rooted in facial anatomy rather than surface tightening.
Dr. Teoman Doğan approaches the deep plane facelift as a procedure rooted in facial anatomy rather than surface tightening. His background as a Doctor of Anatomy shapes a technique focused on the deeper tissue layers of the face.
The deep plane facelift works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face). Rather than pulling on the skin, this method releases and repositions the SMAS and the tissues below it.
