Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu FAQ | Facial Plastic Surgery in Istanbul, Turkey
He is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Nişantaşı, Istanbul, Turkey, who specialises in facial plastic surgery and facial rejuvenation. He has more than 15 years of experience and has performed over 8,000 surgical procedures.
Alongside board certification, he is a member of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TSPRAS, or TPRECD in Turkish) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). These are the certifications and memberships patient-safety guidance recommends verifying before surgery abroad.
His practice centres on the face and neck. Common procedures include the deep plane face and neck lift, platysmaplasty (neck muscle tightening), endoscopic brow lift, endoscopic mid-face lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), upper eyelid ptosis correction and lip lift.
These are registered techniques he developed. Trinity Lift® is an endoscopic mid-face lift that raises mid-face tissue vertically through hairline incisions. Bella Eyes® combines endoscopic dynamic canthopexy, a temporal lift and a lateral brow lift to rejuvenate the eye area. Hollywood Face® and SOS® Surgery are two further signature techniques he developed and teaches. The honest rule with branded names: ask the surgeon to explain the actual method during consultation rather than relying on the name.
For the right candidate it can offer stronger, longer-lasting correction of the lower face and neck, because it releases the retaining ligaments and repositions deeper tissue rather than tensioning skin. But “better” depends on your anatomy and goals — that’s a consultation question, not a one-size answer.
Structural lifts are associated with durable results, but no result is permanent and no ethical surgeon promises a fixed number of years. You keep ageing afterward; you simply stay ahead of where you’d otherwise be. Longevity varies with anatomy, skin and lifestyle.
Modern techniques aim for a rested, natural look by repositioning tissue and re-draping skin without tension. That said, outcomes are individual and can’t be guaranteed in advance.
Like all surgery, facial procedures carry risks: bruising, swelling, haematoma, temporary numbness, infection, scarring, asymmetry and, rarely, facial-nerve injury. A good surgeon explains these clearly before you decide.
“Best plastic surgeon in Turkey” is a common search phrase, not a verified ranking. Rather than trusting a superlative, evaluate any surgeon on credentials, focused experience and a personal consultation.
Istanbul offers experienced specialists and accredited facilities, often at lower cost than Western Europe or North America. Cost should never outrank credentials, however — the savings matter only if the surgeon meets the safety criteria first.
