This approach involves releasing and repositioning these underlying facial structures. The goal is to achieve results that appear natural and offer prolonged longevity. The technique requires specialized knowledge of facial nerve pathways and tissue planes to ensure precise dissection and safe repositioning of the tissues.

He is listed as holding certification from the European Board of Certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (EBCFPRS). This credential reflects a focus specifically on the anatomy and aesthetics of the face.
Dr. Sözen completed his medical education at Ankara Hacettepe Üniversitesi, one of Turkey's respected medical institutions. His training background aligns with the disciplined, anatomy-first approach that facial surgery demands.
His stated specialties include facial rejuvenation and the deep plane facelift — a technique that repositions deeper facial tissue rather than simply tightening the skin. This distinction matters greatly for how natural a result appears years later.
Dr. Sözen is affiliated with the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TSPRAS). Society membership of this kind is one signal of engagement with peer standards in the field.
The deep plane facelift he performs works within the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin). By releasing and lifting this layer, the technique aims to restore youthful contour without a pulled appearance.
His practice, the Prof. Dr. Tevfik Sözen clinic, is located in the Çankaya district of Ankara. The setting places facial surgery within Turkey's capital city rather than the more crowded medical-tourism hubs.
Dr. Sözen's website describes a philosophy built around personalized surgical planning. For each patient, he evaluates facial proportions and — in nasal cases — breathing function, tailoring the plan to individual anatomy and goals.
Beyond facelift work, his surgical menu includes rhinoplasty, brow and forehead lifting, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and ear surgery (otoplasty). This range reflects a surgeon whose comfort spans the full face.
Recovery is treated as part of the planning conversation at his clinic. Patients are walked through the stages of healing so that expectations about swelling, downtime, and final results are set before surgery.
His approach to facial aging is restorative rather than exaggerated. The goal, as his practice frames it, is a face that looks rested and proportionate — recognizably the same person, refreshed.
Dr. Sözen maintains a public presence on Instagram at @dr.tevfiksozen, where facial aesthetic content and educational discussion appear. He has also participated in professional conversations and meetings within the aesthetic community.
Ankara itself offers a quieter, more administrative setting than Istanbul — a capital city with strong medical infrastructure and a less tourist-driven atmosphere. For patients who prefer discretion, this environment can be an advantage.
For women considering facial rejuvenation in their fifties and sixties, Dr. Tevfik Sözen represents an established Ankara-based option whose work is centered on natural facial harmony and functional, individualized surgical planning.
What recent patients say
4.6 / 5 · 127 Google reviewsHello, I would like to start by thanking Prof. Dr. Tevfik Sözen. He performed my revision surgery, taking cartilage from my rib. I was very worried when I first heard about it, but I had a very successful operation; it wasn't as bad as I feared. They were very attentive before and after the surgery. I would like to thank Professor Tevfik Sözen and his team very much.
I went to see Professor Tevfik after seeing how smoothly and successfully my brother's surgery went. To be honest, everyone around me told me I would experience pain, bruising, and a difficult procedure before the surgery, so I was a little apprehensive. But the result was completely the opposite of what I expected. My surgery went very smoothly; I experienced no pain, no bruising. Only a short period of swelling occurred, which completely disappeared within a few days. Both the process and the result pleased me immensely. Now I say: I wish I had done it sooner. Anyone considering rhinoplasty shouldn't hesitate. Contact Professor Tevfik directly. I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone. Thank you, Professor.
I wanted to have rhinoplasty and had been searching for a doctor for about 5 years, but I couldn't bring myself to make a decision. Three months ago, I finally decided to have it done, and I was torn between two doctors: Dr. Tevfik. I live in Istanbul, so I wanted to have an examination when Dr. Tevfik came to Istanbul, and his assistants helped me with that. My examination went very well; he's an exceptionally good doctor. He explained everything to me in detail, and his communication with patients and his humility captivated my whole family. Unfortunately, due to my busy work schedule, I couldn't have the surgery in Ankara with Dr. Tevfik, but meeting him and his team, having the examination, and the trust he instilled in me is what prompted me to write this review. Perhaps it will also provide some insight to those who are hesitant about having surgery. 🙏
For years I had been considering surgery but hadn't dared to, and I met Dr. Tevfik on recommendation. His detailed explanations during the pre-operative examination and his patient answers to all my questions were very influential in my decision. Listening to my fears about the surgery and the support he provided made me feel much safer. My surgery was very successful. It was a much smoother process than I expected, and I experienced almost no pain. I would like to thank my doctor and his team for their care and professionalism throughout this process ☺️
