Zijn benadering is gebaseerd op een tweejarige fellowship in reconstructieve microchirurgie, met een gedocumenteerde focus op gezichtsprocedures. Deze gespecialiseerde training draagt bij aan de geavanceerde chirurgische vaardigheden die worden toegepast bij deep plane (diepe vlak) procedures. Microchirurgische precisie, ontwikkeld door reconstructief werk, wordt beschouwd als een fundamenteel element dat zijn esthetische gezichtsverjonging informeert.

Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.

Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues — including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments — rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
