Editorial bio · audio
0:000:00
Associate Professor Kerem Sami Kaya is a facial plastic surgeon practicing in Istanbul, Turkey, with a clinical focus on rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation, including deep plane facelift surgery. He holds membership in the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (TSPRAS), the national professional body that sets ethical and continuing-education standards for plastic surgeons in Turkey. The Associate Professor title reflects advancement through Turkey's academic medicine system, which requires documented research output, teaching responsibility, and formal review by university committees before the rank is conferred. This academic pathway typically pairs clinical practice with peer-reviewed publication and resident instruction. Within facial surgery, the practice offers deep plane facelift alongside rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, brow lift, otoplasty, and selected non-surgical treatments — a scope consistent with comprehensive facial aesthetic practice. Deep plane technique involves release and repositioning of the SMAS and deeper facial ligaments, and is offered as part of an individualized rejuvenation plan rather than as a standalone signature procedure. Patient-facing communication appears to be conducted in English in addition to Turkish, based on the language profile of cached patient reviews, which is relevant for international patients traveling to Istanbul for facial surgery. DEEPPLANE™ lists Kaya at the unverified editorial tier. The editorial board has confirmed practice location, society membership, and academic title from public sources; board certification, fellowship credentials, and annual procedure volume have not been independently documented and are noted accordingly.Synthetic voice.

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
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.

How long do deep plane facelift results last?
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. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kaya can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
