He is listed as a member of TSPRAS (the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons), a national professional body that connects surgeons practicing within recognized standards. Membership in such societies reflects ongoing engagement with the field.
Dr. Dağdelen's practice spans a broad range of aesthetic procedures, yet his profile highlights particular attention to facial rejuvenation. Among these procedures, the deep plane facelift stands out as a technically demanding operation that addresses deeper facial structures.
The deep plane facelift is a surgical technique that repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach aims to restore a more natural appearance to the midface, jawline, and neck as facial aging progresses.
Dr. Fatih Dağdelen approaches facial rejuvenation with an interest in results that age gracefully over time. His website outlines a full spectrum of facial procedures, including face lift surgery, mid-face lift, lower-face lift, and neck lift operations.
Beyond the face, his surgical repertoire includes rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and fat transfer to the face. This breadth reflects a practice grounded in comprehensive facial and body aesthetics.
Dr. Dağdelen practices in Istanbul, a city that functions as a meeting point between European and Asian medical traditions. Istanbul has become a well-known destination for patients seeking facial rejuvenation and other aesthetic procedures.
His clinical focus on the deeper structural layers of the face aligns with the modern understanding of facial aging. Rather than treating the skin alone, surgeons who perform deep plane techniques work with the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of tissue beneath the skin).
Recovery is an important part of any facelift journey, and Dr. Fatih Dağdelen's practice at Dora Hospital provides a hospital-based setting for surgery and post-operative care. Patients typically plan for a structured healing period following facial surgery.
Dr. Dağdelen has also participated in public and professional discussions of his field, including a televised interview recorded at Dora Hospital. Such appearances reflect an engagement with patient education beyond the operating room.
His work is documented across his practice channels, including an active presence on Instagram at @drfatihdagdelen, where facial and body aesthetic content is shared. This visibility allows prospective patients to become familiar with his surgical scope.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Fatih Dağdelen represents one of many experienced surgeons operating within Istanbul's competitive aesthetic surgery landscape. His combination of European board credentials and more than a decade of practice positions him within an established professional context.
Dr. Dağdelen's approach emphasizes individualized planning, recognizing that facial aging varies from patient to patient. A deep plane facelift is rarely a one-size-fits-all operation, and careful assessment shapes the surgical plan.
Prospective patients researching deep plane facelift surgery in Istanbul may consider Dr. Fatih Dağdelen alongside the broader field of surgeons in the city. His profile on DeepPlane.com offers a starting point for understanding his qualifications and clinical focus.
What recent patients say
4.4 / 5 · 384 Google reviewsIt's been 8 months since my breast implant surgery. I wanted to remember Dr. Fatih; I hear so many bad stories about surgeries and post-operative procedures from people around me... I think, "Wow, people have gone through so much." I had flat breasts with zero fat tissue, and with the right CC and the right application, the result was perfect. No drains were used, I didn't have to deal with any wounds or scars. I'm doing so well that I didn't even go for my first month's check-up, imagine that. I only had difficulty for the first 5 days because it was under the muscle. But by the end of the first month, I was playing volleyball. 8 months have passed, the scar is minimal, and the appearance is very natural (my friends can't believe it's implants). And the wonderful ending: I can still sleep on my stomach, my loss of sensation has almost returned to normal. I won't even discuss the increase in my self-confidence. Thank you, doctor, for guiding me through this process in a peaceful, calm, and healthy way!!! Greetings and love to the whole team! I'm praying for each and every one of you
I had surgery today at Dora Hospital and I'm already incredibly happy with the result. I had a breast reduction and lift, and after many years of considering it, I'm so glad I finally took the plunge. The entire team is incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. You feel well cared for from the very first moment, and any anxieties are completely alleviated. A huge thank you to Dr. Fatih Dağdelen for his calm and reassuring manner. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic. 💛
Fatih Dağdelen 🙏I had breast reduction and lift surgery yesterday, and I'm writing this less than 24 hours later. There's nothing like it! Dr. Fatih has really showcased his expertise, the results are amazing, absolutely no pain or discomfort. Don't wait, book your appointment right away so you don't regret not having it done sooner. Get rid of your excess weight! I felt so relieved, I felt lighter as soon as I came out of the surgery. And as someone who has experienced the difficulties of living with large breasts to the fullest, I wrote this review to support my fellow women who are going through similar difficulties. Don't be afraid, entrust yourselves to Dr. Fatih. Miss 🧿And and Dora Hospital and its amazing team, endless thanks for your sweet words and ever-smiling faces 🥰
Yesterday I had breast augmentation and lift surgery with Dr. Fatih at the hospital, and I am incredibly satisfied with him and the process. I followed all the necessary precautions for 10 days before the surgery, and the result is excellent. One of the biggest advantages is that Dr. Fatih doesn't use drains. Dora Hospital is spotlessly clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Within 1.5 hours of leaving the operating room, I was able to handle everything myself. I thank him very much.
