A Double Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Specializing in Facial Aesthetics As a highly skilled plastic surgeon with a specialization in facial aesthetics, I, Dr. Muhsin Yilmaz, have dedicated my career to enhancing the natural beauty of my patients through advanced facial surgeries. With years of clinical experience, both nationally and internationally, I have refined my skills in facelift, neck lift, and other facial aesthetic procedures, ensuring that every patient receives results that are not only beautiful but also natural, long-lasting, and individualized. I am double board-certified — in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery in Turkey, and by the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (EBOPRAS), of which I am a certified fellow. My expertise in facial aesthetics has been shaped through close observation of some of the world’s most renowned surgeons. I had the privilege of observing facial surgeries inside the operating rooms of celebrated experts such as Dr. Mike Nayak, Dr. Ben Talei, and Dr. Guy Massry. Additionally, I trained with the prestigious MAFAC team at the Mayo Clinic, further deepening my understanding of advanced facelift techniques. These formative experiences have allowed me to incorporate cutting-edge methods into my practice, including the deep plane facelift, a transformative procedure that provides optimal, natural-looking results. A key focus of my practice is ensuring the preservation of facial nerve function during facial surgeries, which is critical for achieving safe and effective results. Through my specialized training in microsurgery and award-winning research on nerve regeneration, I am able to approach even the most delicate procedures with precision, minimizing risk and maximizing the potential for flawless, long-lasting outcomes.
Didn’t Expect to Look This Good I had a deep plane face and neck lift with Dr. Yilmaz and I’m still in shock every time I look in the mirror. I knew I would look “better,” but I didn’t expect to feel this radiant. He gave me back a version of myself I hadn’t seen in over a decade. No pulled look, no weird tightness—just me, refreshed. His team was incredibly sweet, and the hospital was clean, modern, and honestly better than many I’ve seen back in Canada.
Can’t believe the result (happy tears) I had an extended deep plan facelift with Dr. Muhsin and oh my God… the jowls gone, my cheeks are up again and I feel like myself from 15 years ago. I also did blepharoplasty (upper/lower) and co2 laser. There was zero pain after, and the swelling went down faster than I expected. The staff was lovely and the doctor checked on me daily. Don’t even think twice. Just do it.
Best thing I did in my 60s. I'm 63 and live in NYC. I had a full facelift and neck lift with Dr. Muhsin and it's the best decision l've made since retiring I didn't tell many people I was doing it, but now even my brother said "you look amazing, what changed?". That made me laugh. Thank you to the whole team, you made me feel safe and respected from start to finish.
i had face and neck lift, temple lift and lip lift by Dr. Muhsin. i came all the way from UK and im so glad i chose him. he was very clear from day one what we can achieve, he showed drawings and we talked for long time. i used to feel tired in the face now everyone says i look fresh but no one knows i had surgery! even my sister didn’t notice lol. the lip lift was small touch but made my face more balanced. also staff speaks english very well, so i never felt lost.
i had the extended deep plane face and neck lift + fat grafts with Dr. Muhsin Yilmaz in Istanbul. honestly, i was so scared at first but now i feel silly for waiting so long. the results are just… wow. my neck and jaw used to sag so bad, now its tight but not weird tight, just natural and lifted. he also filled my cheeks a bit and it made all the difference. the whole team was super kind, Maya from his team answered all my 1000 questions on whatsapp lol. im still healing a bit but even now im smiling all the time when i see the mirror.
i did a big combo surgery with dr Yilmaz. upper & lower bleph, deep face lift, neck lift, fat transfer, lip lift, co2 laser and even temple lift. sounds crazy but it was worth every bit. i had so many lines around mouth and eyes before, now the skin is smooth and my cheeks look alive again. healing took some time (laser was red for 2-3 weeks) but the final look is super natural. i feel feminine again. everyone at the clinic was so professional but also human. they always replied fast, even late night. big hugs to them all.
im 58 and had deep facelift, neck lift and eyelids (upper and lower). the main issue for me was my heavy neck and sagging jaw. dr yilmaz explained that part of the bulk was salivary glands and he removed them during surgery. the result? lighter, slimmer neck and better contour. also my eyes look open again. we planned everything on Google Meet and then in person before surgery. what i really liked is he doesnt rush. he takes time and answers questions. and my recovery was smooth, no big pain. team was top notch.
i never write reviews but this deserves one. i had face and neck lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery with dr. muhsin. before i had big under eye bags and saggy neck, now my reflection makes me happy. he also did some gland removal (under chin) which helped so much with the contour. but more than results, it’s the way he cares. all my pre-surgery worries were discussed and after surgery they never left me alone. english speaking staff was so important to me and they were amazing. 10/10 experience.
i'm 55 and from vancouver. i'm an interior designer, and i always felt like my outside didn't match how i felt inside - tired, sagging, uneven. i had face lift, neck lift and lip lift. i loved that dr yilmaz took time to plan everything with me. he even explained how he would lift under the muscles. recovery went well and i never felt alone. his staff was always responsive and very kind. istanbul was beautiful too - i'm so happy i made this choice.
i'm from birmingham, UK and 64 years old. i did upper and lower eyelids, necklift and deep plane facelift with fat transfer. my neck was thick and heavy, and i didn't even know salivary glands could be removed to help the contour - dr yilmaz explained all this and did it. now my neck looks 15 years younger and my jawline is smooth. i stayed nearby the clinic and felt taken care of the whole time. this was far beyond my expectations.
Do the dental graft + implant first, then wait at least 4–6 months before a deep plane facelift.That gives the bone time to heal and lowers the risk of issues.Always good to have your dentist and surgeon coordinate timing.
At 44, with early jowling and volume loss in the cheeks, an extended deep plane facelift would likely give you the most balanced and long-lasting result. It lifts both the midface and jawline, restoring contour and a more heart-shaped look. An endoscopic midface lift is less invasive and can help elevate the cheeks and tear troughs — but won’t do much for the lower face. If you want a subtle refresh now, endo lift is fine. But for a full, more transformative result, deep plane is the better long-term option.
Thank you for sharing — you have beautiful, balanced features. For a natural, harmonious rejuvenation, a global approach is ideal. Here’s what could work well: • Deep plane facelift + deep neck lift: To lift cheeks, sharpen jawline, and refresh overall contour. • Lower blepharoplasty (if under-eye puffiness): Optional fat graft to tear troughs. • Temporal or lateral brow lift: Subtle lift for a more open, refreshed eye. • Chin enhancement (small implant or fat): To improve neck-chin angle (optional). • Mild rhinoplasty (only if tip or profile refinement desired). Later, CO2 laser or fat graft can enhance skin and volume. You’re a strong candidate — this plan can deliver a naturally younger, rested look.
Suture hypersensitivity can be challenging, but it doesn’t automatically disqualify you from having a facelift. Here’s what’s important: • Material matters: Since you’ve reacted to different types of sutures, your surgeon will need a detailed history to avoid triggering materials. There are both absorbable and non-absorbable options, and even specialized “inert” sutures used in sensitive patients. • Custom approach: A plastic surgeon can tailor the technique — including using fewer or different suture types, adjusting placement, or opting for staples in non-tension areas. • Healing: Hypersensitivity can lead to prolonged redness, swelling, or hair thinning around incisions, so your healing may need closer monitoring and possibly slower absorbable sutures or alternative closure methods. In short: Yes, you can have a facelift — but your hypersensitivity must be factored into the surgical plan from the start. Be sure to bring full documentation from your past procedures to any consult.
At 40, with mild changes and minimal laxity, you may be a candidate — but results depend on your anatomy and expectations. • Lower blepharoplasty helps with under-eye bags or hollows, not lower face shape. • Ponytail lift offers subtle lift in upper face but won’t fix jawline heaviness or “squaring.” Effects are limited compared to surgical lifts. • PDO threads often disappoint, as you’ve experienced. If you’re seeking lasting contour improvement, a mini or deep plane facelift might be more effective than minimally invasive options. An in-person consult would clarify the best path for your goals.
