At our clinic in Istanbul, I specialize in the deep plane facelift, which I consider one of the most effective and natural-looking methods for facial rejuvenation. Unlike older facelift techniques that only tighten the skin, this advanced approach lifts and repositions the deeper layers of the face—muscle and fat—giving longer-lasting and more harmonious results. It’s particularly powerful in improving areas like sagging cheeks, jowls, and deep smile lines. Many of our international patients choose to have their facelift surgery in Turkey not just because of the high standards in medical care, but also the personalized attention they receive throughout the process. My goal is always to enhance a person’s natural beauty without changing who they are. With the deep plane facelift, we’re able to restore a refreshed, youthful look—subtle, elegant, and never overdone.
The SMAS (Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System) layer consists of suspensory ligaments that encase the cheek fat, thereby causing them to remain in their normal position. This procedure is often performed in tandem with blepharoplasty as an ancillary procedure.Resuspension and securing the SMAS anatomical layer can lead to rejuvenation of the face, by counteracting aging and gravity caused laxity. Modifications to this technique led to development of the “Composite Facelift” and “Deep plane Facelift.”
Ultrasonic piezo Rhinoplasty:
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is an advanced nose reshaping technique that utilizes high-frequency ultrasonic waves to sculpt the nasal bones with unmatched precision. Unlike traditional methods that rely on chisels and hammers, this innovative approach allows for more controlled and less traumatic bone refinement, resulting in a smoother, more natural-looking outcome.
Key Benefits of Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty:
✅ Minimized Trauma: Ultrasonic technology targets only the bone, preserving soft tissues and blood vessels, reducing bruising and swelling.
✅ Higher Precision: Ensures a symmetrical and refined nasal structure with smoother transitions.
✅ Faster Recovery: With reduced swelling and bruising, patients typically experience a quicker and more comfortable healing process.
✅ Natural-Looking Results: Allows for detailed sculpting, enhancing the nose’s harmony with facial features.

Sculpting Excellence: Explore Specialized Surgeries with Dr. Gorkem Atsal
Dive into the world of precision surgeries curated to bring forth lasting results. Dr. Gorkem Atsal merges artistry with science, offering a spectrum of procedures meticulously designed for ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon. Each surgery is a testament to our commitment to excellence, guiding you towards a more confident, vibrant version of yourself.
Deep Plane FaceLift
Experience the pinnacle of facial rejuvenation with the Deep Plane Face Lift. This advanced surgical technique goes beyond traditional facelifts, targeting not only the skin but also the deeper facial tissues. By lifting and repositioning both layers, it achieves a natural and enduring transformation, effectively addressing moderate to severe facial sagging and aging.
Otoplasty
Elevate your confidence with Otoplasty, a surgical solution to reshape the ears. Also known as ear pinning, this procedure corrects protruding or disproportionately shaped ears, providing a transformative change that goes beyond aesthetics, positively impacting self-esteem.
Rhinoplasty
Discover the artistry of Rhinoplasty, a surgical masterpiece that reshapes and enhances the nose. Beyond aesthetic refinement, rhinoplasty can address functional concerns, ensuring that each procedure achieves facial balance and harmony, leaving you with a nose that beautifully complements your features.
Eyelid Surgery
Rejuvenate your gaze with Eyelid Reduction, or Blepharoplasty. This surgical approach eliminates excess skin and reduces puffiness around the eyes. The result is a refreshed and more youthful appearance that opens up the eyes, restoring vitality to your overall facial expression.
Deep plane NeckLift
Reclaim the definition of your neck with the Deep Plane Neck Lift. This surgical procedure tackles sagging skin and muscle laxity in the neck by working on deeper layers. The result is a more refined and youthful neck contour that seamlessly complements the overall facial rejuvenation.
Double Chin Lipo
Sculpt your facial contours with Facial Liposuction, a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat. This technique precisely targets areas such as the face, jawline, and neck, enhancing your natural features and restoring youthful definition.
Dimple Surgery
Dimple surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that creates artificial dimples on the face. Dimples are natural indentations that occur when there is a small defect in the muscle of the cheek, creating a visible dent when a person smiles. Dimple surgery aims to replicate this effect by creating a small incision on the inside of the cheek and forming a connection between the skin and the underlying facial muscles.
Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal, also known as cheek reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to reduce the fullness of the cheeks by removing a portion of the buccal fat pads. These fat pads are located in the lower part of the cheeks, and their size can contribute to a round or chubby facial appearance.
Temporal Lift
(Fox Eyes + BrowLift)
The temporal lift, often associated with achieving a “fox eye” or “cat eye” appearance, is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift and reshape the outer corners of the eyes and eyebrows. This procedure can create a more elongated and lifted look to the eyes, similar to the features associated with a fox or cat
FAQs
What is medical tourism, and why is Turkey a top destination for facelift and nose job surgery?
Medical tourism means traveling abroad to receive high-quality medical treatment at a more affordable cost. Turkey, especially Istanbul, has become one of the world’s leading destinations for facial plastic surgery due to internationally trained surgeons, modern hospitals, advanced techniques, and competitive pricing. Patients also benefit from comprehensive care packages that combine medical treatment with comfortable accommodation and VIP services.
Who is Dr. Görkem Atsal, and what makes him different from other facial plastic surgeons?
Görkem Atsal is a facial plastic surgeon based in Istanbul, specializing in advanced facial procedures such as facelift, deep plane facelift, rhinoplasty (nose job), eyelid surgery, and neck lift. His approach focuses on natural-looking results, facial harmony, and long-term outcomes rather than overcorrected appearances.
What is included in a facelift or nose job package in Turkey?
Most medical tourism packages for facelift or rhinoplasty in Turkey include:
Surgeon and hospital fees
Pre-operative tests and post-operative care
Luxury hotel accommodation
Airport–hotel–hospital transfers
Medications and follow-up visits
These all-inclusive packages help international patients plan their treatment with clarity and confidence.
How much does a facelift or nose job cost in Turkey compared to Europe or the UK?
acelift and rhinoplasty procedures in Turkey are generally 40–70% more affordable than in Western Europe or the UK. This cost difference is mainly due to lower operational expenses—not lower quality. Surgeons in Turkey often perform a higher volume of facial surgeries, which contributes to both expertise and efficiency.
How do Dr. Görkem Atsal’s reviews reflect his expertise in facial surgery?
Reviews from platforms like Trustpilot and independent review sites consistently mention:
Excellent surgical outcomes (natural, balanced results)
Supportive, caring staff and coordinators
Clear communication before and after surgery
Many patients specifically note that Dr. Atsal listened closely to their goals and delivered results that matched or exceeded expectations, contributing to increased confidence and satisfaction.
Are there any negative reviews about Dr. Görkem Atsal that I should know?
While Dr. Atsal’s overall Trustpilot rating is high (with a majority of 5-star reviews), a small number of patients may share less positive experiences, typically around logistics or communication issues rather than surgical quality. It’s important to read individual reviews to understand specific concerns and always ask questions during your consultation so expectations are aligned and patients feel fully informed.
What is the difference between a classic facelift and a deep plane facelift?
A classic facelift mainly tightens the skin, while a deep plane facelift repositions deeper facial tissues and muscles (SMAS layer).
The deep plane technique:
Looks more natural
Lasts longer
Avoids a “pulled” appearance
Improves mid-face and jawline more effectively
This method is often recommended for patients seeking long-term, natural rejuvenation.
Is a deep plane facelift more dangerous than a traditional facelift?
When performed by an experienced facial plastic surgeon, a deep plane facelift is not more dangerous than a traditional facelift. In fact, it may reduce tension on the skin and lower the risk of unnatural scarring. As with any surgery, risks exist, but proper patient selection, surgical expertise, and hospital standards are key factors in safety.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey for a facelift or nose job?
For most facial surgeries:
Facelift / Deep Plane Facelift: 6–8 nights
Rhinoplasty (Nose Job): 6–7 nights
This allows time for surgery, early recovery, follow-up checks, and safe travel back home.
What are the real risks or dangers of facelift surgery?
Facelift surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries potential risks such as swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, or infection. Serious complications are rare when surgery is performed by a qualified facial plastic surgeon in an accredited hospital. A detailed consultation and medical evaluation are essential to minimize risks and ensure patient safety.
What do real patients say about Dr. Görkem Atsal on Trustpilot and WhatClinic?
