About

With more than 20 years of surgical practice and the academic rank of professor, Dr. Karaca Başaran is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Istanbul, Turkey, who specializes in deep plane facelift surgery. As of July 2026, he practices at MAYCLINIK and maintains a focus on facial rejuvenation techniques designed to restore natural contour.

Dr. Karaca Başaran completed his specialty training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine, widely known as Çapa — one of the country's most established medical institutions.

Read more ▾

Born in 1979, Dr. Başaran completed his secondary education at Tarsus American College before earning his medical degree and pursuing advanced surgical training. He is reported to have earned the rank of professor in 2017.

Dr. Başaran is a member of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TSPRAS), a professional body that represents specialists across the country.

His clinical work centers on the deep plane facelift, a rhytidectomy technique (the medical term for a surgical facelift) that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin.

Dr. Başaran also performs rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and neck lift procedures, giving him a broad view of how the features of the face age together.

The deep plane approach that Dr. Başaran works with addresses the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin). By repositioning this layer, the technique aims for results that look refreshed rather than pulled.

Dr. Başaran is reported to have international training credentials, including certification associated with practice qualification in the United States. His academic background reflects an emphasis on evidence-based surgery.

He is described as one of the Turkish surgeons who has published academic articles across several aesthetic procedures, including breast surgery, rhinoplasty, and body contouring. This scholarly output complements his surgical practice.

Dr. Başaran's approach to facial aging treats the face as an integrated structure. Rather than isolating a single area, he considers how the midface, jawline, and neck relate to one another during rejuvenation.

His practice in Istanbul reflects the city's role as a bridge between Europe and Asia — a place where classical medical training meets a strong tradition of aesthetic surgery.

Recovery is a central part of how Dr. Başaran counsels patients. He is understood to emphasize realistic timelines, since deep plane results continue to refine over several months as swelling settles.

Dr. Başaran's patient focus appears oriented toward mature adults seeking natural facial rejuvenation. His work with tissue repositioning aims to soften the visible signs of aging while preserving individual character.

For women in their fifties and sixties considering a facelift, Dr. Başaran represents an experienced, academically trained option within Istanbul's competitive surgical community.
