Status
DEEPPLANE™ verified

A DEEPPLANE™-verified profile means the DEEPPLANE™ badge is live on the surgeon’s own website (or a dated reprieve stands in for it) and the profile is verified as the surgeon’s: they claimed it and we approved the claim on proof such as a code sent to the practice email on file or a licence we reviewed, or, for an unclaimed profile, DEEPPLANE™ verified it on evidence that ties that website to the surgeon or on public signals such as Google reviews. It is not a check of board certification, licence status, photographs or identity.

In their own words

Quoted word for word from the surgeon's own public posts and videos. General education, not medical advice.

More procedures don’t always mean a better plan.
A successful consultation is not about agreeing to every request. It is about carefully evaluating facial anatomy, identifying what is truly needed, and knowing when to say “you don’t need that.”
Every surgical plan should be personalized, balanced, and created with patient safety at the center.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Safa Manav

What procedures does Dr. Safa Manav specialize in?
Dr. Safa Manav specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, neck lift, and facial rejuvenation, practicing in Turkey. The deep plane facelift is an advanced rhytidectomy technique that releases the retaining ligaments beneath the SMAS layer and repositions the fat, muscle, and skin as a single composite unit for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.
Is Dr. Manav board certified?
Dr. Manav is listed as board-certified by EBOPRAS. Board certification requires accredited residency training, written and oral board examinations, and ongoing continuing medical education. Medical education was completed at Istanbul University. 6+ years of surgical experience in facial plastic surgery. The certification shown is as listed in public sources and has not been checked against the certifying board's register: we recommend confirming it directly with the board before your consultation.
How can I book a consultation with Dr. Manav?
You can contact Dr. Manav directly through their verified profile on DEEPPLANE™ using the secure inquiry form above, which routes your request to the clinic's international patient coordinator. You may also visit the official clinic website for additional scheduling options. Many verified surgeons offer complimentary virtual consultations for international patients considering a deep plane facelift.
How much does a deep plane facelift cost in Turkey?
Dr. Manav has not published a deep plane facelift price on DEEPPLANE™. The DEEPPLANE estimate for Turkey is $10,000–$12,000: our editorial estimate, not this surgeon's quote. Your price is set in a written quote after consultation; ask for it itemized and compare it with our country cost guide.
Where is Dr. Manav located?
Dr. Manav practices at Dr. Safa Manav Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
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. 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. Manav provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Manav can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
How experienced is Dr. Manav with deep plane facelifts?
Dr. Manav has 6+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Deep plane facelift is a signature procedure within the clinical practice. Board-certified by EBOPRAS, confirming completion of accredited residency training and passage of written and oral examinations. Active member of TSPRAS, which requires ongoing peer review and continuing education. High-volume specialisation is one of the strongest predictors of complication-free outcomes.
Can I see before and after photos of Dr. Manav's work?
Yes, Dr. Manav has 5 before and after photo sets on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, showing a range of ages, anatomical starting points, and result timelines. Photos have been collated from public clinic sources. When reviewing galleries, look for patients with facial anatomy similar to yours and for results photographed at least 3-6 months post-op, when final swelling has resolved.
Is Dr. Manav verified on DEEPPLANE™?
Dr. Manav has verified ownership of their DEEPPLANE™ profile, and we confirmed control of the practice email domain. The board certification shown (EBOPRAS) is as listed in public sources and is not confirmed with the issuing board. That is the whole of what the verified badge attests. DEEPPLANE™ reads two public provider registers, the US NPPES registry and the ABFPRS physician finder, and screens US surgeons who carry an NPI against the HHS OIG exclusion list every week; it does not query any board of certification, any national licensing body or any society roster, does not check identity documents, does not authenticate before/after photographs, and does not monitor licence status.
