How Much Does Deep Plane Facelift Cost in Turkey in AUD?
Deep plane facelift procedures in Turkey typically range from AUD $16,034 to AUD $24,974. Final costs depend on surgeon seniority, clinic accreditation, and whether the surgery includes a neck lift. Patients from Australia save approximately 48% compared to local private fees, which average around AUD $39,447. Packages generally include surgical fees, luxury hotel accommodation, VIP airport transfers, and post-operative medications.
Combined neck lift: Often bundled into a single package price starting around A$14,800.
Surgeon certification: Specialists with European Board (EBOPRAS) certification typically command a 20–30% price premium.
Clinic location: Istanbul serves as the primary hub, with Antalya offering similar all-inclusive bundles.
Additional procedures: Adding blepharoplasty or a brow lift generally increases the total package by 15–25%.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing an EBOPRAS-certified surgeon in Turkey provides high-level assurance for Australians seeking specialist expertise. Clinics like Dr. MED and Quartz Clinique maintain success rates around 97% for facial rejuvenations. For example, a package at Db'est Clinic for approximately A$15,300 includes seven nights' accommodation and care from award-winning surgeons. This remains significantly more affordable than the Australian private system.

The lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement
My biggest worry was how the final result would look, and whether it would be worth the recovery. Even though I’m still quite puffy around my jawline, the lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement. That part is a huge relief. The staff and clinic environment were excellent from start to finish. Turning my head feels slightly tight but okay. The surgeon did good work, though I rated them a 4/5 as I felt some communication could have been a bit more compassionate after surgery.The most challenging part has absolutely been sleeping elevated. That's no fun. I would still recommend this clinic.
The Bookined coordinator and the Quartz Clinic staff were fantastic: supportive, helpful, compassionate. All updates were communicated to me promptly. The hotel booked for me is really excellent, with smooth transfers and kind drivers. Spot on!
I didn't give the doctor 5 stars because she made me cry the day after surgery. She could adopt a different approach towards me after surgery, with more understanding and compassion, especially since I was there on my own and at the end of the day, she's received all the information required, it doesn't matter from whom. The stress has a significant impact on me. Aside from that, she was great.

The surgeon and staff were excellent
My biggest worry was how difficult recovery would be, and whether it would be worth it. The bruising visibility has definitely been the most challenging part, and my under eyes is still quite puffy (fat transplant). Despite that, the improvement in my jowls is already dramatic. My neck feels slightly tight when I turn my head, but it's okay. The surgeon and staff were excellent. My most essential tip is to be prepared: recovery really does require time and patience, plus a lot of help from a friend or partner. Sticking to soups, fruits, and veggies instead of hard food has been a huge help.
I had a deep plane facelift at this clinic, and the entire experience was very positive from start to finish. The process was very well planned, with everything running smoothly and on time, which made me feel calm and well taken care of throughout.
The doctor was highly professional, clear, and very concrete in communication. What I especially appreciated was their thoughtful approach. they suggested an additional procedure that I hadn’t originally considered, but which ultimately enhanced the overall result in a very natural and balanced way.
I felt supported at every stage, from consultation through recovery. The attention to detail, organization, and medical expertise truly stand out. I would absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone considering similar procedures.
I had no bad experience but the results are still to be visible within next couple of months.

I can already see a significant improvement in my sagging cheeks thanks to the deep plane facelift
The surgeon and the staff did a good job; the overall experience was positive for me. The biggest challenge during my recovery was the extreme difficulty I had eating, which really affected me during the first few weeks, and having to sleep sitting up. Medically, everything went well. The swelling along the jawline is minimal after 10 days and I can already see a significant improvement in my sagging cheeks thanks to the deep plane facelift.
My neck still feels slightly stiff when I turn my head, but it’s fine. As autologous fat was taken from my abdomen, there’s still a pulling sensation there, like severe muscle soreness; I notice it particularly when I stand up. But it’s getting better every day. My top tip: take time to recover after the operation and ideally travel with someone else. Loose-fitting clothes with wide necklines are essential, as is eating slowly in small bites and drinking plenty of water. Everything else will fall into place in time
Whenever I was unsure, I was able to ask the doctor and consult her, which gave me great reassurance.
I felt a bit helpless with the nausea after the anaesthetic. The nurse always came straight away, though; it would have been nice if she’d spoken English.

The improvement in the jowl area is simply striking
What I feared most was a long and painful recovery. I was worried that the swelling would last for months. But it’s only been 15 days since my deep SMAS facelift, and the swelling along my jawline is already minimal – it’s almost gone. The improvement in the jowl area is simply striking. My neck feels a little tight when I turn my head, but it’s quite bearable. The staff and my surgeon were very supportive. Perhaps the hardest part of the recovery was sleeping in an elevated position. My main advice for anyone considering this operation: be patient!

I’m giving five stars for Dr
I’m giving five stars for Dr. Ianus’ work because his surgical work is truly remarkable. Dr. Ianus is kind, gentle, extremely professional, and meticulous in everything he does. The person who supported me through BookMed was Tetiana, and she was absolutely flawless. From the very beginning, I felt guided and safe.
From Dr. Ianus’ team in Istanbul, Lara was the one assisting me — and she is a very warm, empathetic person who was always available to help with whatever I needed. I also want to highlight the hotel offered by the team, Modus Hotel. The staff there were very helpful and attentive, especially after I returned from surgery. Even though I traveled alone, I could count on their kindness and support throughout.
That said, I want to leave a sincere piece of advice: if you’re planning to have a more extensive surgery — like I did (involving multiple areas) — be aware that the first two days can be quite challenging, both physically and emotionally. In such cases, I strongly recommend that you are not alone at the hospital. Having someone with you can make a big difference.
With this, I leave my heartfelt recommendation, full of gratitude and respect. Dr. Ianus is an excellent surgeon, Tetiana and Lara are wonderful people, and although the journey had its challenges, everything was handled with great professionalism
The final result.
Being alone in the hospital after such an extensive surgery.

Thank you all for your care and excellent work!
My Experience at Dr. Med’ Clinic
The team was absolutely wonderful. The surgery went smoothly, and I’m truly grateful to Dr. Yunus, all the clinic staff, and especially Dr. Yunus and Akylay. Everything was organized professionally, with care and efficiency.
I underwent a deep plane facelift and neck lift, as well as upper and lower blepharoplasty. Overall, I am very satisfied with both the results and the service.
My only suggestion would be this: for such major plastic surgeries, the patient should ideally stay at the clinic for at least 3 days under medical supervision. This is essential for proper recovery and peace of mind.
Also, I would prefer that Dr. Yunus personally performs the bondage changes, as he does them best — and it noticeably speeds up the healing process.
Aside from that, everything was top-notch: the team is responsive, caring, and highly professional. Thank you all for your care and excellent work!
I really appreciated the staff’s efficiency — their ability to respond quickly to my needs, react promptly to my messages, and show genuine care, empathy, and commitment to my smooth recovery and overall experience.
What I didn’t like was that the consultation took place on the same day we arrived. It was exhausting, as we were sleep-deprived, tired, and unable to fully process the information the doctor was giving us. It was an unpleasant experience.
We had booked our flight based on a recommendation from the Doctor-Med clinic’s sales department.
Another thing that disappointed us was being hospitalized for only one day — we had to extend the stay ourselves for the second day.
I strongly believe that after such serious surgeries, the patient should be hospitalized for at least two days for proper medical supervision and recovery.

I was so impressed with how every little detail of my visit was meticulously dealt with by Defe.
From the moment I got off the plane EVERY small detail was taken care of. From my limo pick up just for myself to the hotel (a 5*+ hotel at least). Check in then hospital Dr Ali was such an expert and explained everything before my operation and made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen.After the operation I had the ultimate first class care and attention and had my very own night nurse from 20:00 until 08:00 for both evenings in hospital. My limo was waiting to take me back to the hotel where I had a 24 hour infirmary clinic. I also had a nurse that visited daily to ch CK and administer my medication and creams and ensure I was feeling ok every day. Defe was my contact and she was at the end of the phone 24/7 for texting, ringing and make me feel safe and well.
The hotel is above and beyond anything I have ever known, the staff are all helpful, the hotel security is absolute top notch. I was on the fourth floor my pass key would only allow me to go to or from they floor to the ground level OR roof terrace, each person on any one floor were ultra safe at all times.
Dr Ali a man with such intricate hands using cutting edge technology to the best possible expertise. the hospital was ultra clean, sterile and quiet, the atmosphere was so chilled happy and caring at all times the hotel, the immaculate cleanliness of the hotel at all times of the day or night. The restaurant had every type of food available that everyone was able to find something they each liked to eat. The meals were 5* cuisine, and melted in your mouth.

It was the best decision I could have made
I was very sceptical at first, did a lot of research and asked a lot of questions.
In the end, I chose Dr Ali Sadioglu - and that was the best decision I could have made.
Dr Sadioglu completely won me over with his calm, empathetic manner, his many years of experience and his exceptional patience. I opted for a deep plane facelift and lipofilling - and the results far exceeded my expectations.
Dr Sadioglu works extremely precisely, takes a lot of time and responds to individual wishes. You feel that you are not only in good hands with him professionally, but also personally.
He and his team delivered the all-round carefree package. I had 9 nights in a great hotel. I spent two nights in hospital after the operation. During this time, I had my own nurse on site for two nights, who was provided by Dr Sadioglu. Many thanks also to Nurse Shawa for her kind and very warm manner and care. This personal care gave me an additional feeling of safety and security. Dr Sadioglu himself was on site for two days to check on the healing process.
In the following days at the hotel, a nurse from Dr Sadioglu came by every day for a check-up and there was also a nurse on site 24/7 at the hotel itself.
A small side note: the VIP transfer service was unfortunately not quite as reliable as expected. However, this is not the fault of Dr Sadioglu's team, but is the sole responsibility of the external provider.
The medical care and the entire practice team (Defne, Buse, Elif) were first class in every respect.
If you are looking for an excellent surgeon for a facelift, you are definitely in the very best hands with him. For me there is no better surgeon, he enjoys my complete trust because he knows exactly what he is doing. I would have an operation performed by Dr Ali Sadioglu again at any time.
A tip for after the operation: get some cool packs from the local pharmacy and put them in the fridge in your hotel room.
It was the best decision I could have made.
The implementation and care by Dr Sadioglu and his Resm.
The somewhat gruff staff in the hospital itself.

The work he did on me was outstanding
Surgery in Turkey,
I am 60 years old, and I travelled to Istanbul for a Deep Plane Facelift and a lower and upper Blepharoplasty.
Bookimed, I am so grateful to you, I could not have made this journey without your assistance. Thank you very much for your guidance and patience. I hope I did not give you a hard time.
Turkey is a safe place to travel, it is safer than Paris, Milan or Manhattan. I never felt in danger in Istanbul.
From the moment I arrived at Lokman Hekim Hospital, everything was taken care of by Ismael Ali, who is an easy going and friendly translator.
The pre-operative test were done as soon as I arrived.
The day after I met Doctor Murat Yaman who is a friendly and open person. Before travelling to Istanbul I checked his background and found him to be a very good and competent surgeon. So, on that day I was relaxed for the surgery because I knew I was going to be in good hands.
The work he did on me was outstanding. I am still in the healing process. My eyes are a bit irritated, but that is normal. My face is still a bit swollen but it no longer hangs. My face has changed expression from appearing to be sad or angry to reflecting a normal emotion.
A big thanks to the Lokman Hekim Hospital staff some of them spoke a little bit of English others were fluent but all of them were caring, kind, super friendly and always ready to help.
The whole experience.

Undoubtedly, to Dr Raykut Gok, I feel he is among one of the greatest plastic surgeons
II was searching for a plastic surgeons who
specialisised in deep plane facelifts , I research BookiMed.com and was happy with the reviews , i then went on to the BookiMed booking services and was guided through every detail , they listened to my all conserns and answered all my questions they gave me time to think things through carefully with no pressure at all. I was then recommended the incredible Dr,
I am extremely pleased with the work he has done on my face , I am definitely a new and very happy woman. .
I had only initially sought a deep plane
facelift, but as a woman in my mid-50s, he explained and recommended that i needed surgery on both my upper and lower eyelidsalong with a temple lift and the reason's why, which was in order to achieve a
naturally balanced appearance, which I was looking for . Dr. never once pressured me into doing
anything I didn't want , the decision
was mine to consider, . during my consultation, with him I could tell he
was a true perfectionist . To me, he came across as very polite, professional and I could see he had a precise understanding
of the subject. Therefore, in his hands, I felt entirely safe and reassured , i was so glad I took his valuable advice .. .
Sara and Akilay were my medical support they were with me all the way, From the first day of online consultation to my last day in istanbul and are still there if need them, they sorted everything for me. The girls made a special effort to ensure i was at ease. Nothing was a problem, all of my enquiries and concerns were handled
expertly.They even went above and beyond to help with anything I needed .I arrived to istanbul alone , but I never once did I feel alone. They made me feel very safe, to which I was so grateful for .
I was also taken well care of by the hospital staff, and despite some
language issues i was able to communicate, the care given to me was excellent .
After my facelift and with the typical normal swelling of oedema, I able to see through this and was thrilled with the results, Dr did amazing work.
When discarge from hospital i was taken back to the hotel, I continued to receive excellent aftercare by Dr MED staff, along with Sara and Akiay, They kept open communication with me and well informed about everything , and how to look after myself during my healing process. This was done through what's app and face to face visits.
What I didn't like was, I had to sleep upright, this was to ensure good healing process , so my tip for anyone is to bring your own lumber upright pillow to the hotel or make sure you have one when you return home , as it will be a blessing and will help you sleep more comfortably
.
About day 5, I was given a medical facial massage oh wow, this was incredible and so needed , this treatment also assists you in your healing process.
The hotel is a charming little establishment that had everything I needed, only two mins walking distance from the hospital Additionally , the hotel personnel's staff also helped to attend to all of your needs. Nothing was an issue for them. They were so kind .
The food was also good and I recommend Mama's meatballs, it had great flavour. and simple to consume
following face lift procedure .
I like to express my gratitude to everyone who attended to all of my needs. I am incredibly thankful. and grateful, most of all, and Undoubtedly, to Dr MED, i feel he is among one of the greatest plastic surgeons.
I would unquestionably recommend anyone to get a deep plane face lift from him and to just trust the process .
wonderful, just wonderful .
💕 thank you to all .😊 💖
👌
I felt safe and cared for .

FAQ about Deep Plane Facelift in Turkey
These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.
What are the surgical risks associated with a deep plane facelift in Turkey?
Deep plane facelifts in Turkey carry specific risks. This is due to the extensive dissection near facial nerves. Potential issues include temporary facial nerve weakness, haematoma, and skin necrosis. Surgeons at accredited Istanbul clinics maintain high success rates, such as 97% at Dr. MED Clinic.
Nerve injury: Potential temporary or rare permanent weakness in facial muscle movement.
Haematoma risk: Blood collection under skin may require urgent drainage in theatre.
Necrosis risk: Tissue death can occur from smoking or compromised blood supply.
Tightness: Significant neck stiffness is common when turning the head during recovery.
Revision difficulty: Correcting complications in Australia requires clear pre-planned policies.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Our data shows clinics with high success rates often include longer medical supervision. For example, Büyük Anadolu Hospitals bundles a 4-day stay into deep plane packages. This monitoring helps surgeons catch haematomas early before patients move to a hotel. It significantly reduces the risk of major complications after discharge.
Patient Consensus: Recovery feels like severe muscle soreness. It requires sleeping upright with lumbar pillows for comfort. Patients in Turkey suggest eating soft foods like soups and meatballs to ease jaw pain.
What is a deep plane facelift and why do surgeons in Turkey often recommend it?
A deep plane facelift is a surgical technique that repositions facial muscles and connective tissue (SMAS). It does not just pull the skin. Surgeons in Turkey recommend it for natural, long-lasting results. This avoids the tightened look common in traditional facelifts.
Structural lifting: Repositions deeper tissues and fat pads to restore mid-face and jawline volume.
Ligament release: Releases tethering ligaments allowing for a significant, tension-free lift of sagging areas.
Natural appearance: Avoids the windblown look by lifting underlying structures instead of stretching skin.
Extended longevity: Results typically last 10–15 years, providing better long-term value than superficial methods.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish clinics frequently bundle deep plane facelifts with neck lifts and fat grafting. Data shows Dr Med Clinic maintains a 97% success rate. These packages often include 4–6 nights of hotel recovery. Patients report that sleeping upright and specialised massage significantly speed up early healing.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey felt secure with translators and 24-hour nursing care. They suggest bringing a lumbar pillow for upright sleeping. Eat soft foods like meatballs or soup. Wear wide-neck clothes to protect dressings during the first week of recovery.
How does a deep plane facelift in Turkey differ from a traditional facelift?
A deep plane facelift in Turkey differs from a traditional SMAS lift. It repositions facial muscles and deep fat pads as a single unit. This technique releases facial ligaments for a natural, long-lasting lift to the mid-face and jawline. It avoids the skin tension common in traditional surgeries.
Surgical depth: Operates beneath the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) to lift deeper structural tissues.
Aesthetic outcome: Avoids a pulled look by moving facial muscles rather than stretching the skin.
Longevity: Results typically last 10–15 years, significantly longer than traditional facelift methods.
Hospital stay: Packages often include a 1-day stay, though some provide 4 days for monitoring.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While a traditional facelift in Turkey costs from $4,100, deep plane procedures start from $11,300. Data shows the higher cost reflects the complexity. Experts like Dr Murat Yaman at Lokman Hekim have performed 500+ facelifts. They perform structural repositions that prevent the wind-blown look common with cheaper, superficial techniques.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey highlight the dramatic improvement in sagging jowls and nasolabial folds. They recommend bringing an upright pillow for sleeping. They also suggest choosing clinics that provide personal night nurses for the first 48 hours.
What is the recommended recovery period for a deep plane facelift procedure in Turkey?
Recovery for a deep plane facelift in Turkey requires 10–14 days of initial downtime. Most patients feel comfortable in public after this period. Major swelling and bruising typically subside within 3 weeks. Full tissue settling and final results usually take 3 to 6 months.
Clinical stay: Patients typically spend 1 to 2 nights at centres like Dr. MED Clinic.
Suture removal: Surgeons generally remove external stitches between day 7 and day 10.
Physical activity: Light walking is encouraged early. Strenuous exercise requires a 6-week break.
Social readiness: Most patients use makeup to conceal lingering bruising after 14 to 21 days.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from Istanbul packages shows that 4 days of hospitalisation significantly improves early comfort. Formats at Büyük Anadolu Hospitals provide 24-hour nursing. This helps manage initial difficulty with eating and sleeping while elevated.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey find sleeping upright and eating soft foods essential during the first week. Many recommend travelling with a companion. Simple tasks like dressing or hair washing feel difficult initially.
What specific points should I discuss during a consultation for a deep plane facelift in Turkey?
Consultations for a deep plane facelift in Turkey should focus on surgeon experience and techniques. Confirm the operating surgeon, ligament release methods, and follow-up protocols. These steps help achieve natural results and safety during recovery.
Technique specifics: Ask which facial ligaments are released to reposition the midface and jawline.
Surgeon caseload: Confirm the surgeon’s volume, such as Dr Murat Yaman’s 500+ procedures.
Anaesthesia details: Verify a specialist anaesthetist is present, as is standard in JCI-accredited Hisar Hospital.
Recovery logistics: Plan to stay 10–15 days for initial swelling to subside before flying home.
Combination safety: Ask about adding blepharoplasty or brow lifts while maintaining safe surgical times.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Bookimed data shows a major quality divide in aftercare. Premium packages from Dr Safa Manav Clinic include 24-hour private nursing. They also provide remote support after you return to Australia. This oversight is critical for deep plane techniques because of deeper tissue manipulation.
Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey suggest bringing a firm upright pillow to sleep elevated. They also recommend eating soft foods like soups during the first week. Most find the improvement in jowls worth the initial tightness and bruising.
