Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, in 1994, Dr. Mecidov brings a cross-cultural background to a city long defined as a meeting point between East and West. His personal history mirrors Istanbul's identity as a bridge between continents and traditions.
He completed his medical education at Samsun 19 Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine between 2011 and 2017. This foundation preceded years of focused work in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Mecidov is recognized among surgeons who concentrate on facial aging and the deep plane facelift, a technique that addresses the deeper structural layers of the face rather than the skin alone. This approach aims for natural repositioning of tissue.
The deep plane facelift works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive sheet of tissue over the facial muscles). By releasing and lifting this layer, the technique repositions sagging tissue rather than pulling skin taut.
His clinical interests extend to bichectomy, a procedure that removes buccal fat pads to refine the contour of the lower face. This complements his broader focus on facial harmony and rejuvenation.
Dr. Mecidov holds memberships that reflect engagement with the national surgical community, including the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TSPRAS) and the Turkish Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery association (TPRECD).
His clinic operates in Istanbul, a city that has become a significant destination for patients seeking facial rejuvenation from across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. The practice is described as authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Health.
Recovery guidance is a meaningful part of his patient care. A deep plane facelift typically involves an initial phase of swelling and bruising, followed by a gradual return to daily life over several weeks.
Dr. Mecidov's approach centers on individualized planning, considering each patient's facial structure, degree of aging, and personal goals. This personalization matters greatly in rhytidectomy (the medical term for facelift surgery).
Patients in the 55-to-65 age range often seek out surgeons who understand the nuances of mature skin and deeper tissue changes. Dr. Mecidov's concentration on facial rejuvenation speaks directly to these concerns.
His presence on social media, under the handle @opdrnicatmecidov, allows prospective patients to explore his clinical focus and communication style before a formal consultation. Transparency in aesthetic surgery helps patients set realistic expectations.
As a surgeon working within Istanbul's competitive and internationally connected medical environment, Dr. Mecidov represents a generation of practitioners combining local training with a global patient outlook. His profile reflects both regional expertise and cross-border accessibility.
For women considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Nicat Mecidov offers a practice grounded in board recognition, more than a decade of experience, and a clear focus on the structural techniques that define modern deep plane surgery.
What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 59 Google reviewsHello, first of all, I am very happy to have met Dr. Nicati. Five months ago, a walnut-sized lump formed on my back, and I was very scared because it was causing me pain. Thanks to Dr. Nicati, he reassured me and successfully removed it with a minor procedure. I thank him very much for his sincere care and attention.
I had a bichectomy a few months ago. My swelling subsided in a week. They said it would take at least 6 months for the procedure to fully settle, but even in a few months I saw a very good difference. The follow-up appointments and care have also been excellent. Thank you so much. I'm so glad I had it done 🤗🫶🏻
I had surgery within early December. I felt from the beggining, I'm in good hands. Dr Nicat is an empathetic and helpful doctor, and also him assistant also a great person. I'm saw that in the beggin, when we only talk online in the about treatment.He responds quickly to messages and questions. He and his assistant, Melike, organized my trip to Istanbul And they booked the hotel for me too. I have never seen such a kind and direct doctor. On the first day, his assistant, a kind and smiling girl, came to the hotel and took me to your clinic.After the surgery, they came to check on me every day and asked how I was doing. I stayed for a total of 5 days to recover after the surgery and they even offered me a sightseeing tour of Istanbul.I can recommend Doctor Nicat to anyone who wants to be treated by an empathetic and expert doctor.
I had my PRP treatment here and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I walked in, I felt so comfortable and well taken care of. The doctor explained everything with so much patience and I really felt I was in good hands. After the treatment, I can already notice the difference and it feels amazing to see real results. Thank you for making me feel confident again!

Dr. Nicat Mecidov approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin's surface to reposition the deeper tissues of the face. This philosophy distinguishes the deep plane technique from older methods that relied primarily on tightening skin.
The central concept involves the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system. This is a continuous layer of tissue that connects the facial muscles to the overlying skin, and it plays a defining role in how the face ages.
