Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu — Facial Rejuvenation in Istanbul, Explained Simply
If you’ve been quietly researching facelifts or facial rejuvenation, you already know how overwhelming it gets. Every clinic sounds confident, the before-and-after photos blur together, and “best surgeon in Turkey” shows up on a hundred websites at once. So let’s slow down and talk, plainly, about one surgeon a lot of people come across: Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu in Istanbul. No hype — just what’s actually known.
Dr.Ufuk Askeroglu is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Nişantaşı, a well-known district of Istanbul. He’s spent more than 15 years focusing on faces, and he’s performed over 8,000 surgical procedures. That’s not a number meant to impress you for its own sake — it matters because, with the face especially, repetition builds the kind of instinct you want in the person holding the scalpel.
He’s also a member of two professional bodies worth knowing: the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (you’ll see it written as TSPRAS, or TPRECD in Turkish — same society) and ISAPS, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. If that sounds like alphabet soup, here’s the short version: these are exactly the memberships patient-safety guidelines tell you to check for when you’re considering surgery away from home.
Here’s something reassuring — he doesn’t try to do everything. His work is centred on the face and neck. In practice, that means things like:
You may notice some trademarked names attached to his practice. A quick, honest tour:
My honest advice? Don’t choose a surgeon because of a catchy procedure name. Choose one because of what they explain to you face to face. A name is marketing; the surgery is what counts.
Yes, and you should expect your surgeon to be, too. Surgery doesn’t stop you from ageing — nobody can promise that, and you should gently walk away from anyone who does. What a good facelift does is turn the clock back and keep you a step ahead of where you’d otherwise be. How long it lasts, how you heal and how you end up looking all depend on your own face and body.
And like any operation, there are risks — swelling, bruising, numbness that’s usually temporary, and rarer things your surgeon should talk through with you openly. A surgeon who mentions the downsides isn’t scaring you; they’re respecting you.
When you search, you’ll find two different websites. ufukaskeroglu.com is his clinical practice — the surgeon and his medical team. Askeroglu Health Group is a separate health-tourism organisation that helps with the travel side of things. Same name on the door, two different jobs. Good to know so you’re not confused later.
He’s a board-certified plastic surgeon with recognised society memberships and 15+ years focused on facial surgery. Those are the right boxes to want ticked.
The goal of modern facial surgery is the opposite of that — looking rested, not restyled. But no one can promise a specific look, which is why the consultation matters.
Nobody can hand you an objective “best.” Treat that phrase as a search term, then judge any surgeon on their credentials and your own consultation.
Nişantaşı, Istanbul.
If you’ve read this far, you’re doing exactly the right thing — researching calmly before committing. When you’re ready for real answers about your own face, a consultation is the only honest next step. You can start by looking through his work at ufukaskeroglu.com and reaching out from there. No pressure, just a conversation.
