AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Soykan Kudret Korkmaz's signature technique is the deep plane facelift, which he considers a core component of his practice. This advanced surgical method specifically targets the underlying facial structures, including the sub-SMAS layer, which are crucial contributors to the visible signs of aging. He emphasizes that by carefully repositioning these deeper tissues, the deep plane approach yields results that are significantly more natural and enduring than those achieved with traditional facelift methods.

He is listed as board-certified by TPRECD (the Turkish Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery certification board), a credential that signals completion of formal specialty training in the field.
Dr. Korkmaz is also affiliated with TSPRAS (the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons), a professional membership that reflects ongoing engagement with his surgical community.
The deep plane facelift represents a more advanced approach to facial rejuvenation than traditional techniques. Rather than tightening only the skin, this method repositions the deeper facial tissue as a unified layer — an approach Dr. Korkmaz has built much of his practice around.
His surgical focus addresses the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive sheet of tissue beneath the skin) rather than pulling on the skin surface alone. This distinction matters because it tends to produce a more natural contour.
Dr. Soykan Kudret Korkmaz has documented an interest in facelift, deep plane facelift, and neck lift procedures across his professional presence, reflecting a sustained commitment to facial aesthetic surgery.
Beyond aesthetic work, his surgical background includes complex reconstructive procedures. Turkish media reported on an eight-hour limb-salvage operation involving Dr. Korkmaz and his team in Bolu — a case that underscores technical range beyond cosmetic surgery.
His approach to patient care emphasizes individualized planning. Facial aging follows different patterns in each person, and a considered assessment of bone structure, skin quality, and tissue laxity informs how a deep plane facelift is tailored.
Dr. Korkmaz operates within Istanbul's well-developed medical infrastructure. The city functions as a bridge between European and Middle Eastern medicine, drawing patients who value both surgical training standards and accessible facial rejuvenation options.
Recovery after a deep plane facelift is a subject Dr. Korkmaz addresses directly with patients. Because the technique works beneath the surface, the healing timeline and swelling pattern differ from more superficial procedures, and clear expectations are set during consultation.
He maintains a professional presence on Instagram under the handle @opdrsoykankudretkorkmaz, where facial and body aesthetic work is documented for prospective patients.
Dr. Soykan Kudret Korkmaz's practice reflects a broader philosophy common among experienced facial surgeons — that lasting rejuvenation comes from restoring the underlying architecture of the face rather than simply removing excess skin.
For women in the 55-65 age range considering facial rejuvenation, this structural approach is often appealing because it aims to address the mid-face, jawline, and neck as an integrated whole rather than in isolated segments.
His Istanbul location places him within one of the most active medical tourism environments in the world, where deep plane facelift surgery is offered by many experienced practitioners. Dr. Korkmaz's two decades of practice position him as an established figure within this competitive setting.

Dr. Korkmaz's Surgical Approach
Dr. Soykan Kudret Korkmaz approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin to reposition the deeper facial tissues as a single, cohesive unit.
Dr. Soykan Kudret Korkmaz approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin to reposition the deeper facial tissues as a single, cohesive unit. This philosophy separates the deep plane technique from older methods that relied primarily on tightening the skin surface.
At the center of this approach is the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of tissue and muscle that sits between the skin and the deeper facial structures. In a deep plane procedure, this layer is not simply tightened but released and lifted.
