Dr. Narges Mikaniki

According to the practice, Dr. Mikaniki is a member of the Iranian Rhinology Society, the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). These are professional societies, and you can confirm any membership directly with the society concerned.

The practice website also lists a Dubai Health Authority (DHA) licence as a specialist in ENT and facial plastic surgery. A health authority licence permits a doctor to practise within that jurisdiction. It is separate from board certification, for which DeepPlane holds no record for this surgeon.

Rhinoplasty sits at the centre of the services the practice lists, including modern preservation rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty. The same list includes eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), chin surgery (genioplasty), buccal fat removal, fat grafting, fillers and other injectables, sinus surgery and sleep apnea surgery.

Facial lifting appears on the practice's service list under the heading of types of lift. DeepPlane does not hold a record of which lift techniques Dr. Mikaniki performs, so if you are considering a deep plane facelift, ask the practice directly whether that specific technique is offered.

A deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the surgical term for a facelift) that works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous layer under the skin and fat). Rather than pulling skin tight, it releases and lifts deeper tissue to restore the cheeks, jawline and neck.

Facial plastic surgeons who come from otolaryngology study the anatomy of the head and neck in close detail. That background is relevant to facelift surgery, where the facial nerve branches and the deeper tissue layers must be handled with great care during any tissue repositioning.

The practice's emphasis on preservation rhinoplasty points to an interest in working with a patient's existing anatomy rather than removing or replacing it. Whether that philosophy carries over to facelift planning is a good question to raise at a consultation, alongside how procedures might be combined.

Facial aging affects skin, fat, muscle and bone at different rates, so a well-planned treatment usually addresses more than one layer. Women in their late fifties and sixties often find that combining lifting, volume restoration and eyelid work gives a more balanced result than any single procedure.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves one to two weeks of visible swelling and bruising, with most patients returning to social activities within about a month. Final results usually settle over three to six months, and the practice can explain its own aftercare plan.

The practice website is published in English, Arabic and Persian (Farsi). If you plan to travel for surgery, confirm which language your consultation and aftercare will be conducted in — and exactly which city and facility the operation would take place in.

An image gallery and a video appear on the practice's website, and the surgeon's Instagram account is listed as @drmikaniki. Before-and-after images help you judge a surgeon's aesthetic style, so ask to see facelift results specifically if a deep plane facelift is your goal.
