About

With more than 22 years in aesthetic and reconstructive practice, Dr. İsmail Küçüker is a plastic surgeon based in Istanbul, Turkey, who focuses on deep plane facelift surgery and comprehensive facial rejuvenation. As of July 2026, he practices at the İsmail Küçüker Clinic, where facial aging is treated through structural techniques rather than surface-level correction.

Dr. İsmail Küçüker received his medical education at Ondokuz Mayıs University, an established Turkish institution with a strong surgical training tradition. His long career reflects a steady focus on the anatomy of the aging face.

Read more ▾

Dr. İsmail Küçüker is affiliated with TSPRAS, the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. This membership connects him to the national professional community that sets standards for surgical practice in Turkey.

The deep plane facelift is a defining part of Dr. Küçüker's clinical work. This technique repositions the deeper facial tissues — rather than simply tightening the skin — to restore a natural contour to the midface, jawline, and neck.

Dr. Küçüker's approach centers on the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin). By working within this layer, the technique aims for results that age gracefully over time.

His practice extends beyond the facelift itself into full facial rejuvenation. Dr. İsmail Küçüker also performs rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and a range of non-surgical treatments through his Istanbul clinic.

Rhinoplasty forms a notable pillar of Dr. Küçüker's surgical portfolio. His profile shows detailed attention to natural, proportionate nasal shaping — a philosophy that carries into his facial lifting work as well.

Facial aging, in Dr. Küçüker's framework, is understood as a loss of deep structural support rather than only a loss of skin elasticity. This understanding shapes why he favors sub-SMAS techniques for lasting rejuvenation.

Dr. İsmail Küçüker holds the academic title of Professor, reflecting a career that combines clinical surgery with teaching and research. This dual role is common among surgeons who focus on technically demanding procedures.

Patients considering surgery with Dr. Küçüker typically seek a refreshed rather than altered appearance. The deep plane method is well suited to this goal because it repositions tissue along natural anatomical lines.

Recovery is treated as an integral part of the surgical plan at Dr. Küçüker's practice. Patients are guided through each phase of healing, from the first swollen weeks to the gradual emergence of final results over several months.

Dr. Küçüker's clinic in Istanbul is equipped with modern diagnostic and imaging tools, including 3D surgical simulation. Such technology allows patients to discuss expectations clearly before committing to surgery.

His Istanbul location places Dr. İsmail Küçüker within one of the world's most active centers for aesthetic surgery. The city bridges European and Asian medical traditions, drawing patients from many countries.

Dr. Küçüker maintains a visible professional presence through his practice and social channels, including Instagram, where surgical philosophy and educational content are shared. This transparency helps prospective patients understand his aesthetic style.

For women in their fifties and sixties exploring facial rejuvenation, Dr. İsmail Küçüker represents an experienced option in a crowded field. His combination of long practice, academic standing, and deep plane focus defines his standing in Istanbul.

I chose my doctor after a friend had her revision surgery with him and was very happy with both her result and her experience. This was one of the main reasons I decided to meet him. From the very first consultation, he understood exactly what I wanted and told me that he could achieve most of the things I was asking for. I felt very comfortable with him and trusted him from the beginning. He told me that my surgery was difficult, but thankfully everything went very well. I stayed one night in the hospital, and everything was great. Ms. Tea from his team came to check on me very often, and everyone was incredibly kind, caring, and helpful. My nasal packs were removed after two days, and I could breathe much better afterwards. Today is day 7, and so far, everything has been going very smoothly. He is very warm, sincere, and has such a great energy. He always made me feel comfortable and reassured. His team is also very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. I know it is still very early in the healing process, but I can already see what I wanted. The side depressions are gone, the crookedness has been corrected, and my nostrils look much more symmetrical. My nose also looks smaller and more feminine. Most importantly, it looks incredibly close to the nose I showed him in the photo. Unbelievable! It is almost exactly the same! This is exactly what I wanted, so I am very happy with the result so far. I know there is still a lot of healing ahead, but I am truly happy with my decision and so excited to see the final result. We also talked about a facelift during my visit, and I have already made my decision. We will see each other again in six months. With so much gratitude and lots of love.

I had my rhinoplasty performed by Dr. İsmail Küçüker three years ago and recently returned to his practice. During my return visit, I felt very well cared for and in good hands from the very beginning. Dr. İsmail Küçüker took plenty of time and explained everything thoroughly. Burak was also very friendly and helpful. I especially appreciate that even three years after the surgery, so much emphasis is still placed on aftercare and follow-up. I felt well looked after at all times and can definitely recommend the practice and the entire team.

After following Dr. Ismail for two years, we visited him for our eldest daughter and decided on rhinoplasty. We were extremely pleased with the care and professionalism of Dr. Ismail and his entire team, both before and after the surgery. Now our second daughter has had rhinoplasty surgery. Thank God, everything went very well. Many thanks to Dr. Ismail and his team. We are so glad we chose you.

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
