This surgeon has not published a fee with us, and we have not found one on his own site. We would rather show you nothing than a number he never said.

Dr. Rastkari'S PERSPECTIVES

AI-assisted profile summary
structuralnaturaldeep-planefacial-architecture

Signature technique

Dr. Rastkari is noted for his proficiency in the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated technique that focuses on repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than merely tightening the skin. This approach aligns seamlessly with his extensive background in facial architecture and structural understanding of the face, which he also applies to rhinoplasty. Furthermore, his methodical planning includes preparing 3D nose designs before consultations, allowing patients to visualize their expected outcomes in advance and fostering a clear understanding of the surgical plan.

Recovery view

Dr. Rastkari emphasizes a clear and predictable recovery journey for his patients, particularly following deep plane facelift procedures. He ensures patients understand that the initial phase involves swelling, which is a natural part of the healing process. This is followed by a gradual refinement of the facial contours over several months, as the tissues settle and the final results emerge. His direct communication on this subject aims to set realistic expectations and provide reassurance throughout the post-operative period, highlighting the importance of patience for optimal outcomes.

His practice is described as exclusively devoted to facial architecture for over two decades. This narrow focus is common among surgeons who concentrate on the interplay between nasal structure, skin, and the deeper support layers of the face.

Dr. Rastkari is associated with the Rhinoplasty Association of Iran and Turkey (انجمن رینوپلاستی ایران و ترکیه), a membership that reflects his cross-border activity between Tehran and Istanbul.

Rhinoplasty forms a large part of his reputation, and his website details work across cartilaginous noses, bony structures, natural results, and revision cases. This structural sensibility carries naturally into facelift surgery, where the deeper tissue layers matter as much as the skin.

Facial rejuvenation is a distinct pillar of his practice. His listed services include face lifting, neck lift surgery, brow and eye-corner lifts, chin and cheek implants, and skin rejuvenation — the full spectrum of surgical and non-surgical facial aging treatments.

The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than pulling the skin alone. For surgeons with a structural background in nasal and facial framework, this approach aligns closely with how they already think about the face.

Dr. Rastkari's approach appears rooted in planning. Interviews note that 3D nose designs are prepared before consultations so that patients understand their expected outcome in advance — a methodical style that patients often value.

Tehran, where Dr. Rastkari is based, is a significant center for cosmetic surgery in the Middle East, with a large community of surgeons practicing rhinoplasty and facial procedures. The city has long been recognized regionally for aesthetic surgery.

Dr. Rastkari maintains a presence across multiple languages, with website content in English, Arabic, and Turkish, reflecting a patient base that extends beyond Persian-speaking clients.

His Instagram presence at @dr.rastkari offers a window into his surgical work and educational content, a channel where many facial surgeons share their aesthetic philosophy.

Recovery from facial surgery is a subject Dr. Rastkari addresses directly with patients. Deep plane facelift recovery typically follows a predictable timeline of early swelling followed by gradual refinement over several months.

His dual base in Tehran and Istanbul places him within two of the region's most active facial surgery communities. This geographic reach is uncommon and reflects membership ties spanning Iran and Turkey.

Patients considering Dr. Rastkari are generally those seeking a surgeon with deep experience in facial structure rather than skin-only techniques. His long tenure — 23 plus years — places him among the more established figures in Tehran's facial surgery landscape.

All credentials described here are drawn from Dr. Rastkari's published materials and should be independently verified during consultation, as this profile is based on publicly available information rather than direct registry confirmation.

Dr. Rastkari's Surgical Approach

The deep plane facelift addresses facial aging at the level of the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of connective tissue and muscle beneath the skin) rather than the skin surface alone. This distinction defines how the procedure differs from older lifting techniques.
