Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu FAQ

Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Istanbul, Turkey, who specialises in facial plastic surgery and facial rejuvenation. Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  has more than 15 years of experience and has performed over 8,000 surgical procedures.

Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  practises in the Nişantaşı district of Istanbul, Turkey.

More than 15 years in practice.

Over 8,000 surgical procedures across his career.

The Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (known in Turkish as TPRECD) and ISAPS, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Board certification confirms completed specialty training, and recognised society membership shows a surgeon works within the profession’s standards. Guidance for patients travelling abroad for surgery consistently recommends verifying both before proceeding.

Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  has developed registered techniques that Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  teaches to other surgeons, which reflects involvement in the wider professional community. Details of his teaching activity are best confirmed through his clinic.

His clinical practice is represented at ufukaskeroglu.com. Be aware that Askeroğlu Health Group is a separate health-tourism organisation, not the clinical practice itself.

Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  is the originator of several registered techniques: Trinity Lift®, Bella Eyes®, Hollywood Face® and SOS® Surgery.

Trinity Lift® is an endoscopic mid-face lift. Working through small incisions concealed in the hairline, it elevates mid-face tissue vertically to restore cheek position, rather than adding volume.

It addresses the eye region as a unit — the outer eye corner, the temple and the lateral brow — to refresh a tired-looking upper face. Whether it suits you depends on your individual anatomy.

Hollywood Face® is one of Dr. Askeroğlu’s registered facial techniques. For an accurate description of exactly what it involves and whether it is right for you, ask during a consultation with his clinic.

SOS® Surgery is another of his registered techniques. As with any branded method, the clinic can explain the specific surgical approach it refers to and when it is used.

No. A registered name describes a particular surgical method, not a guaranteed outcome. The value lies in the underlying technique and the surgeon’s judgement applied to your face, which a consultation should explain.

Yes — they are presented as techniques Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  developed, and Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  teaches some of them to other surgeons.

A branded name is helpful for identifying a specific approach, but the decision should rest on credentials, relevant experience and an honest consultation rather than the name alone.

When appropriate, facial procedures are often planned together so the whole face is rejuvenated harmoniously. Suitability for combining procedures is assessed individually.

Examples of his work are shown on his official website, ufukaskeroglu.com. When reviewing any before-and-after images, look for consistent lighting and realistic results.

Yes. The deep plane face and neck lift is one of his core procedures.

It is a facelift technique that works beneath the SMAS — the deeper fibromuscular layer of the face — releasing the retaining ligaments and repositioning the deeper tissue, then re-draping the skin without tension.

Modern techniques aim for a rested, natural look by repositioning tissue and re-draping skin without tension. Outcomes are individual, however, and cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Incisions are generally placed in natural creases and around the ear where they are less noticeable, and scars typically mature and fade over time. Scarring varies by individual and is discussed during consultation.

There is no single right age; suitability depends on your anatomy and health rather than a number, though many facelift patients are in their 40s to 60s. A consultation is the only way to know what suits you.

Structural lifts are associated with durable results, but no result is permanent. You continue to age afterward, simply staying ahead of where you would otherwise have been.

The deep plane sits in the same layer where branches of the facial nerve travel, so the technique calls for detailed anatomical knowledge and significant operative experience — which is why training, specialisation and volume are worth evaluating.

Yes, when appropriate. Combining facial procedures in one planned session is common so that the zones of the face match rather than ageing out of step; suitability is assessed individually.

Yes. The neck is part of his core work, typically addressed together with the lower face through the deep plane face and neck lift.

Platysmaplasty tightens the platysma, the sheet-like muscle of the neck. When its edges separate with age and form vertical bands, they can be sutured back together, usually through a small incision under the chin.

Incisions are typically small and placed discreetly — commonly under the chin and around the ears. Exact placement and expected scarring are discussed before surgery.

Healing is gradual, with early swelling and bruising settling over the first weeks and the final result emerging over months. Your surgeon’s team provides a timeline specific to your procedure.

It can improve neck and jawline contour, though the right approach depends on whether the cause is skin laxity, muscle banding, fat or a combination — something a consultation clarifies.

Yes. Upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and upper eyelid ptosis correction are among his core procedures.

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that addresses excess skin and, where present, puffiness or fat around the eyes. It can be performed on the upper lids, the lower lids or both.

Ptosis is a drooping upper eyelid, often caused by weakening of the muscle that lifts the lid. Ptosis correction tightens or repositions that mechanism so the lid opens more fully; it is a distinct procedure from skin-focused blepharoplasty.

Blepharoplasty mainly removes or adjusts excess skin and fat, while ptosis correction addresses the lifting mechanism of the lid itself. Some patients need one, some the other, and some both — a consultation clarifies which.

Incisions are usually placed in the natural eyelid crease or just below the lash line, where they tend to be inconspicuous and fade over time. Individual scarring is discussed beforehand.

Bella Eyes® is Dr. Askeroğlu’s combined eye-area technique (endoscopic dynamic canthopexy, temporal lift and lateral brow lift). It addresses the surrounding eye region rather than being standard eyelid-skin surgery; the clinic can explain when each is appropriate.

Yes. The endoscopic brow lift is one of his core procedures.

It raises a heavy or descended brow through small incisions hidden in the hairline, using an endoscope so that long scalp incisions are avoided.

An endoscopic approach uses small incisions and a camera, which generally means less visible scarring than open techniques. Whether it is suitable depends on your anatomy and goals.

Not exactly — a brow lift addresses brow position, while upper eyelid surgery addresses lid skin. Sometimes one is enough and sometimes both are recommended; a consultation determines which.

The goal is a refreshed, natural look rather than a surprised or over-elevated appearance. As with all facial surgery, results are individual and cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Yes. The lip lift is one of his core facial procedures.

A lip lift shortens the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip, which lengthens with age. By rebalancing that proportion it can show more of the upper lip and refresh the lower face.

Good candidates are generally in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are non-smokers or willing to stop before surgery. Only a personal consultation can confirm candidacy for you.

There is no single right age; suitability depends on your health and anatomy rather than a number. Many facial-surgery patients are in their 40s to 60s, but this varies.

Healing is gradual, unfolding over weeks and months rather than days. Early swelling and bruising settle first, and the final result emerges over time. Your surgeon’s team gives a timeline specific to your procedure.

Swelling and bruising are typically most noticeable early on and then improve progressively. Most patients plan for reduced social and work activity during this period.

Like all surgery, facial procedures carry risks, which can include bruising, swelling, haematoma, temporary numbness, infection, scarring, asymmetry and, rarely, injury to branches of the facial nerve. A good surgeon explains these clearly before you decide.

It can be, provided you choose a board-certified surgeon with recognised memberships operating in an accredited facility. The safeguards matter more than the destination.

Structural lifts are associated with durable, long-lasting results, but no result is permanent. You continue to age afterward, simply staying ahead of where you would otherwise have been.

Modern techniques aim for a rested, natural appearance rather than an obviously “done” look. Outcomes are individual, however, and cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Yes. Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu  is based in Istanbul, a destination many international patients travel to for facial aesthetic surgery. Start by leading with credentials rather than cost when researching from abroad.

Typically it begins with a remote consultation, followed by an in-person examination before a final plan, then surgery and a period of local recovery and follow-up. The clinic confirms the specifics for your case.

Pricing depends on the scope and complexity of the procedure and should be confirmed directly with the clinic. Whatever the figure, cost should come after safety and credentials in your decision.

Istanbul can offer experienced specialists and accredited facilities, often at lower cost than Western Europe or North America. The savings matter only if the surgeon meets the safety criteria first.
