About
Fifteen years of dedicated facial aesthetic surgery define the practice of Dr. Hasan Duygulu, a surgeon based in Istanbul, Turkey.

He completed his medical education at Dokuz Eylul University, one of Turkey's established medical schools. This foundation supports a career that has increasingly concentrated on the anatomy and aesthetics of the aging face.
Dr. Duygulu is listed as certified by the European Board, a credential that reflects training standards recognized across the continent. He is also associated with the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, known as TSPRAS.
His philosophy centers on improving natural beauty rather than replacing it. In his own words, he prefers to focus on specific work rather than attempting every procedure — a specialization that concentrates his experience where it matters for facial surgery.
The deep plane facelift sits at the heart of his aesthetic offering. This technique repositions deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin, which is why it tends to produce results that age more gracefully over time.
Dr. Hasan Duygulu practices under the banner of Face Aesthetic Turkey, a clinic model built around personal attention. His approach emphasizes listening to each patient's requests before determining the most appropriate surgical plan.
Facial aging is a layered process. Skin loosens, deeper support structures descend, and volume shifts — and Dr. Duygulu's work with the deep plane addresses these changes at the structural level rather than the surface alone.
His surgical interest extends well beyond the facelift. Rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and a range of nasal procedures form a substantial part of his practice, reflecting a broad command of facial harmony.
Recovery is a subject he addresses candidly with prospective patients. A deep plane facelift involves a healing period of several weeks for visible swelling to settle, with the most refined results appearing over subsequent months.
Istanbul provides the setting for his practice — a city that has long served as a bridge between European and Asian medical traditions. Many international patients travel there specifically for facial aesthetic surgery.
Dr. Duygulu positions himself as approachable and communicative. His stated aim is for patients to understand their procedure clearly, which reflects a consultative rather than transactional style of care.
He describes his mission as being present for the improvement of every beautiful face. This framing suggests a surgeon oriented toward refinement and enhancement rather than dramatic transformation.
With more than fifteen years of experience concentrated on facial procedures, Dr. Hasan Duygulu represents the kind of narrowly focused practice that many patients seek for delicate work. Specialization of this depth is a meaningful factor when choosing a facelift surgeon.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering rejuvenation, his combination of facial focus, European Board credentials, and a natural-results philosophy offers a clear and consistent identity. Dr. Duygulu's practice is built around this single, sustained commitment to the aging face.
What recent patients say
4.5 / 5 · 30 Google reviewsThe result looks very natural, and I appear younger—but not unnaturally so, just very fresh, exactly as I discussed with Dr. Duygulu. He implemented everything precisely the way I wanted. Thank you very much for that.
Excellent experience from start to finish! Dr. Hasan Duygulu is a top expert – approachable, kind and explains everything in detail, which immediately instills confidence. I had septorhinoplasty and, apart from the aesthetic result which is natural and harmonious, the most important thing for me is that I can breathe great now – the deviation has been completely resolved. The doctor really has an “eye” for aesthetics and knows how to achieve a top result. Special praise goes to his assistant Lejla, who was with me from the first to the last day – always available, kind and ready to help with everything. The entire hospital staff was also at a high level, and all the checks were done professionally. Everything went without any problems – sincere and high recommendation!
Where do I start! What an amazing team! From Kübra being the absolute best person to deal with- she was 24/7 available to me even no matter how many times I messaged! Transport and hotel was all arranged very organised and easy. My doctor was the best choice after a lot of research. I have been turned down by many doctors (even the top leading doctors in uk) but dr hasan was the first one to fill me with confidence and essentially changed my life. I’ve been so worried and insecure about my perforation (1.8-1.9)and nose bridge collapse for a long time, I thought there was no hope! He’s extremely good at what he does!! I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else! Big big shout out to my nurse damla for being such an angel and extremely talented nurse too. Thank you so much to my team for making my dream mode happen and taking care of me! I will always recommend anyone to go to doctor hasan!!
great experience with the assistant, and the doctor met my expectations

Dr. Duygulu's Surgical Approach
Dr. Hasan Duygulu approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a surface one.
Dr. Hasan Duygulu approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a surface one. The technique works beneath the skin to reposition the deeper tissues of the face, addressing the true source of facial descent.
The key layer in this operation is the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that sits between the skin and the deeper facial structures. Over time, this layer loosens and drifts downward, producing jowls and midface flattening.
