Dr. Salviz completed medical education associated with Harvard University, a background that informs his analytical approach to facial anatomy. This training foundation supports his emphasis on structural, long-lasting results.
He is affiliated with Haseki Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul, where his surgeries are performed in accredited hospital facilities. Operating within a training and research hospital reflects a commitment to standardised surgical protocols.
Dr. Salviz is listed as a member of TSPRAS, the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Society membership is one signal patients often review when evaluating a facial surgeon abroad.
His clinical focus rests on the deep plane facelift — a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening skin. This distinction matters to patients seeking natural movement and durable results.
Dr. Salviz also performs endoscopic mid-face lifting and brow procedures, according to his published website material. These endoscopic techniques use small incisions hidden behind the hairline to lift the cheek region without visible scarring.
A recurring theme in his public statements is restraint. In one interview he noted that results are "not always extreme, sometimes natural" — describing patients who requested completely natural outcomes for their eyes and brows.
His specialties extend to the periorbital area, including a signature cat-eye or almond-eye procedure that lifts the outer corner of the eye. This is performed as a surgical endoscopic upper-face technique rather than a temporary thread suspension.
Dr. Salviz treats facial aging as an interconnected structure, addressing the brow, mid-face, jawline, and neck as a single aesthetic unit. This whole-face perspective often distinguishes deep plane specialists from surgeons who treat regions in isolation.
Recovery guidance from his practice is practical and specific. Patients are typically asked to remain in Istanbul for at least three days after surgery, with a longer total stay advised for follow-up and safe travel clearance.
His surgeries are generally performed under general anaesthesia and last approximately two hours, with an overnight hospital stay. This structured pathway reflects the hospital-based setting in which he operates.
Dr. Salviz communicates with prospective patients in English and Turkish, and maintains an active presence on Instagram at @dr_mehtisalviz. His social channels document brow, eye, and facelift cases alongside educational commentary.
International patients from cities such as New York have travelled to his Istanbul practice, according to his published case notes. This reflects the growing role of Istanbul as a destination for facial rejuvenation surgery.
For affluent patients researching a deep plane facelift abroad, Dr. Mehti Salviz represents an established, narrowly focused facial surgeon working within an accredited Istanbul hospital, with two decades of experience and a stated preference for natural-looking results.
What recent patients say
4.5 / 5 · 46 Google reviewsI have had surgery with Dr Mehti twice now and I must say he really is the best facial surgeon I have ever come across! He really is the best at what he does. He knew exactly what I wanted and he achieved the best possible result when doing my surgery. I had temple lift, mid face, lower face, neck chin and bleph and Dr Mehti has done an incredible job. He is a perfectionist, he is outstanding in his field, his attention to detail and knowledge is unmatched. Myself and 3 of my friends have been to him many times because we truly believe he is the best surgeon. My scars are also so neat and unnoticeable, I can hardly see them. I traveled from the UK to Istanbul for Dr Mehti because he is the most amazing surgeon in my opinion, I have had other surgeries with other surgeons and non of them gave me the results Dr Mehti has. I would 10000% recommend Dr Mehti to everyone who is thinking about getting any sort of facial surgery. The hospital is also very beautiful, clean, modern and the staff are friendly and nice. Dr Mehtis team and assistants are also always there to help with any issues or worries and are all so lovely. My experience was amazing from start to finish. Thank you to Dr Mehti and his team.
I recently had a full facelift and neck lift and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the entire experience or the results. From my very first consultation through to aftercare, the professionalism, kindness, and reassurance were outstanding. Dr Mehti is truly exceptional — his skill, attention to detail, and calm confidence made me feel completely at ease. His assistant, Irem, was amazing throughout, always supportive, caring, and reassuring, and Nurse Ali was absolutely wonderful — compassionate, attentive, and genuinely caring at every stage. The results have exceeded my expectations. Everything looks so natural yet beautifully refreshed and lifted. I feel more confident, radiant, and genuinely amazing in myself again. This experience has been life-changing, not just physically but emotionally too. Thank you to Dr Mehti, Irem, and Ali for the outstanding care and incredible results. I couldn’t recommend this team highly enough to anyone considering this journey.
I had a combined surgery with Dr Salviz recently, and I can only say good things about him. He really took the time to listen to me. As I am someone who focuses a lot on details and am a perfectionist, I truly appreciated his personalized approach. He personally suggested a temporal lift, as his goal is to enhance your beauty, not just perform surgery. I really liked the idea because it made the result look even better. I felt completely safe throughout the procedure. I also want to sincerely thank his assistant, Irem, who supported me from the consultation to the end of the procedure. I can highly recommend Dr Salviz. I got exactly what I wanted, even better than my expectations.
I had the best experience with doctor Mehti, his talent in what he does met above my expectations. His kindness and care for me made me feel safe and I was in the best hands. My results are lasting almost a year now looking fresh. I get so many compliments. I feel amazing.

Dr. Salviz's Surgical Approach
Dr. Mehti Salviz approaches the deep plane facelift as a repositioning procedure rather than a skin-tightening one.
Dr. Mehti Salviz approaches the deep plane facelift as a repositioning procedure rather than a skin-tightening one. The technique works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous layer of connective tissue and muscle that supports the face) to lift the face at its structural foundation.
In a deep plane rhytidectomy — the medical term for this type of facelift — the surgeon releases the ligaments that tether the deeper tissues to the underlying bone. This allows the cheek, jawline, and neck tissues to be elevated as a single unit, which tends to produce more natural movement.
