I don’t understand why everyone is still stuck using only hyaluronic acid fillers.
In my view, there are better options when you know how and where to use them.

In this case, we worked in both deep and superficial planes; deliberately and with purpose.

For the deep planes, we chose agarose gel fillers.
Not a classical dermal filler in my opinion, but closer to an injectable implant.

Why Agarose gel?
• 100% biocompatible
• Pure agarose gel, without chemical additives
• Hydrophobic, meaning it does not attract water
This allows us to use higher volumes safely, without swelling or a puffy look.

Agarose gel is a high G-prime material with strong lifting power.
It also requires experience. Used incorrectly, it can lead to irregularities.
Placed properly, it performs predictably and lasts around 15 months.

For the superficial planes, we used hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, placed in the dermis and subdermis (exactly where HA belongs).

Total volumes used:
• 7 ml agarose gel for deep structural support
• 2 ml hyaluronic acid for surface refinement
Applied to the temples, midface, and chin.

The goal was simple:
to remove the tired appearance:
not by overfilling, but by restoring structure.

And that’s exactly what we achieved.

Natural. Balanced. Calm power.

Yes, this is a younger appearance.
That was exactly what my patient wanted.

The approach was comprehensive:
• Forehead lift
• Eyelid surgery
• CO₂ laser with exosomes
• Deep plane face and neck lift

In the deep plane facelift, two vectors were used:
a vertical vector to restore midface position,
and a horizontal vector to redefine the jawline and neck.

The goal was never an overdone look.
Not pulled. Not artificial. Not unfamiliar.

Just a calmer, clearer version of her own face.

Rejuvenation isn’t about adding tension.
It’s about returning anatomy to where it belongs.

📍 No filters. No digital alteration.

Four months after her facelift… and the incision is so seamless that even my patient couldn’t find it 😅

She genuinely asked why I didn’t make an incision in front of the ear and I quietly smiled before showing her the intra-operative video. 😎

This is what meticulous deep plane work aims for:
• An undisturbed ear contour
• Incisions placed in natural shadow lines
• Healing that blends into the face rather than announcing surgery

When the technique is precise and the tissues are respected, the best scars are the ones no one can see (not even the patient)

Our intention with lip aesthetics is simple:
to create fullness that feels natural, balanced, and in harmony with your face.

For this treatment, we used 1 ml of hyaluronic acid filler; a substance your skin already knows, designed to support shape and structure safely.

The goal isn’t exaggeration.
It’s quiet enhancement.
A more refined, attractive balance that never interferes with your expression.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺
This week, we welcomed patients from the USA, UK, and Australia who trusted us with their facial rejuvenation.

There’s something deeply meaningful about people choosing to travel across the world for safe, natural results.

Not because of hype.
Not because of trends.
But because they feel seen, heard, and understood.

Every face is a responsibility.
Every journey is personal.
And every result is crafted with intention.

Grateful for the trust.
Committed to the work.
Focused on what truly matters: safe surgery & natural beauty.

By working in the deeper facial layers, we release the tension points, reset the foundation, and allow the face to settle into a more natural, effortless shape.

Not a “done” look.

Every face is unique, and healing timelines vary, but deep plane techniques help deliver results that look effortless, soft, and authentically you.

Always consult your surgeon for a personalized assessment and treatment plan.

Last week in London, after my cadaveric studies in Leiden University, I had the chance to meet both my pre-op and post-op patients face to face.

My wife 😍 and your coordinator 😇 Fatma was with me as well. She was so happy to finally meet you in person.

Your beautiful card, kind words, and thoughtful gifts truly made our day.

Moments like this remind us why we love what we do.

Thank you for your trust, your positivity, and your kindness. 🤍



PS. Jayme, we absolutely love these beautiful angels.
Thank you so much 🙏

In facial plastic surgery, everything begins and ends with anatomy.

The precision of a deep plane facelift, the harmony of an endoscopic lift, the safety of every dissection… All depend on how deeply we understand the layers beneath the skin.

Courses like .mendelson and the chance to learn directly from the masters of facial anatomy are reminders that true expertise is not about techniques alone, but about seeing what others cannot see!

1. With Jerry O’Daniel .tgeraldodaniel and Bryan Mendelson , two master surgeons who have shaped the world of Advanced Facial Anatomy.

2. From left to right:
Dr. Levent Efe ; the man who makes anatomy understandable through his astonishing medical illustrations. Art clarifies what words cannot.
Dr. Ali Mezdegi ; my mentor and colleague from Istanbul, who accompanied me throughout the cadaver dissections.
Dr. Zekeriya Kul ; another master surgeon whose endoscopic facelift technique we observed step-by-step; his beautiful dissection inspired all of us.

3. Dr. Levent Efe enjoyed my demonstration and my way of explaining the deep plane facelift. His feedback means a lot to me.
When you look at his illustrations, he is truly the best in the field and everything in facial anatomy suddenly makes perfect sense.

4. A brilliant slide from Dr. O’Daniel’s presentation. Deeper we go, the more we realise how much there still is to learn. Mastery begins with humility.

Public Statement ⚠️

I am currently in the Netherlands at Leiden University for an anatomy study.
I was informed about a patient from Germany who passed away in Antalya after a body-shaping surgery, and the surgeon was referred to with the initials B.C.

To clarify: this case has no connection to me or my clinic.
I do not perform body surgeries, and the patient was not mine.
My practice is exclusively focused on facial plastic surgery, with strict safety protocols that I am well known for.

At Leiden University this week for a cadaver anatomy program, dissecting the face layer by layer with leading anatomists like Prof. Mendelson.

Every layer tells a different story of aging and understanding those details is what guides truly natural, long-lasting results.
