The Mini Deep Plane Facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure designed for individuals in their 30s or early 40s who are beginning to notice signs of aging—particularly in the midface. Unlike traditional facelifts, this technique provides natural-looking results without extensive surgery. It is ideal for those experiencing mild to moderate sagging in the midface, concerned about nasolabial folds, and who have minimal neck laxity that doesn’t yet require a full facelift.
The midface is one of the most challenging areas to treat with traditional facelift techniques. Many standard approaches, such as temporal lifts or transtemporal midface lifts, often fall short—leaving patients with underwhelming results.
The Mini Deep Plane Facelift stands apart by:
Targeting deep facial layers to lift the cheeks and soften smile lines
Minimizing incisions and avoiding unnecessary manipulation of the neck area
Delivering natural, youthful contours without an artificial or pulled appearance
Targeted correction: Specifically rejuvenates the soft tissue part of the midface where early aging first appears
Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions, quicker healing, and reduced scarring
Natural results: Subtle lift, preserving facial harmony. It can be combined with eyelid surgery, temporal lift, or brow lift for more complete rejuvenation
Dr. Varsak does not perform SMAS or skin-only mini facelifts, as these techniques are believed to fail to provide long-lasting and natural results. Instead, he recommends the mini deep plane approach, which targets releasing deep ligamentous attachments and repositioning deep mid-face structures.
Every face is unique—and so is every facelift. During your consultation with Dr. Varsak, you’ll discuss:
This personalized evaluation ensures the treatment plan fits your needs, not just a trend.
After thoroughly researching ear reduction surgeons I (finally) found dr varsak; most of them rejected my case on the grounds that ear reduction can leave a large scar. but I was determined, as I don't like the size of my ears and I always hide them with my hair Ear reduction is a more rare surgery and he has achieved it. oh my god I am so glad I found it, they are the perfect size for me and the incision is barely noticeable. The staff were also very welcoming, would definitely recommend!
Hello I am from the United States and Dr. Varsak performed a deep plane facelift, lip lift, eyebrow lift, a dimpleplasty and a chemical peel. He is an exceptional surgeon with skilled hands and an eye for detail when it comes to making your results turn out beautiful. I can tell that he loves what he does and that he really understands the anatomy of the face and what it will take to give you the best results possible.
Amazing Results I searched for Dr Varsak based on the type of result I wanted mentioned in my headline and well known on you tube by another dr I could never afford; I knew I was going to Istanbul for a facelift. A bit hard to figure out payment but his wonderful support team (don’t know if I can use names so I won’t) were so helpful and talked to me from the time I contacted them through to now we are still in contact and the whole experience was fantastic; I had been before to the country but the hospital was new to me and its is the most gorgeous hospital, smells amazing!you’ll see what I mean when you get to Turkey a lot of public places smell amazing but I just want to say that Dr Varsak is a genuine, caring man.
i had a chin and jaw implant with dr. varsak, and i am very happy with the results. he listened to my goals, gave great advice, and made sure everything went smoothly. the recovery was easy, and my face looks natural and balanced. i highly recommend dr. varsak for anyone thinking about facial implants.
Hi There- After carefully reviewing plastic surgeons in Türkiye,I choose Dr. Varsak for his specialty in facial rejuvenation.I am older, I travel from the U.S. and had the facial/neck lift/upper and lower eye done. I must say that I was 110% satisfied, not only with the way I was treated by Dr. Varsak and his staff, but at the beautiful hospital and the great team that took care of me for the two days there and at the beautiful hotel on the same property
I could not recommend a better doctor and a surgeon than Dr. Varsak! I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Varsak over 3 months ago, and I have fallen in love with the results more and more as time passes, and it heals more. I found Dr. Varsak on Instagram roughly two years ago, and as everyone knows, medical tourism in Turkey is very popular. I had my doubts, as most people would. After following his work for a couple of months and seeing the different results on his patients, I fell in love with his work.
If you are reading this review, you are at least curious about plastic surgery or Medical Tourism. This is how I started.... After consulting doctors in the United States, I realised that if I wanted to find a highly skilled surgeon with services I could afford, I needed to expand my search. I had never heard of medical tourism, but I started my research by discovering that Turkey was one of the top countries identified. I then started making a list of all the doctors I came across on Instagram and Google searches. I looked at reviews and biographies and took notes. I decided that having an excellent hospital in case of unforeseen emergencies was one of my top priorities. I then wanted my doctor to be well educated and speak English well. Dr. Varsak and Andula Medical Centre (a John's Hopkins affiliate) rose to the top of my list.
My experience with Dr Varsak and his staff has exceeded my expectations. While the price seemed appealing, I was hesitant about traveling to have facial surgery, specifically, a deep plane facelift. Merih and other staff members made sure everything went well the minute I arrived. Dr Varsak’s staff assisted with details which included my airport pickup, hospital paperwork, after care issues, along with just checking in to make sure all was well.
Im 23, 7days post Op. I've had a rhinoplasty, chin implant and deep central neck lift. I am seriously BEYOND happy with my results from Dr Varsak. He has completely exceeded my expectations and gone above and beyond for my results. He preformed a closed rhinoplasty so i have no visible scarring. My nose is PERFECTLY what I wanted and more! Hes a brilliant surgeon so easy to talk to and knows exactly what hes doing. I could not have asked for more. Him and his whole team including Anil and Arzu have been exceptional the whole time, the hospitality has been perfect. Beautiful hospital comfortable hotel all the staff/ nurses have been so so kind. Foods has been amazing! I could go on forever.
Hello, I am from America and Dr Varsak has performed deep facelift, lip lift, brow lift, dimple aesthetics and chemical peels. He is an exceptional surgeon with skilled hands and attention to detail when it comes to making sure your results are beautiful. I can tell she loves what she does, really understands facial anatomy and understands what it takes to give you the best results possible. He will recommend what he believes will make a person look their best and I did everything he recommended (dimplplplasty and chemical peels were my personal preference) but I did what he recommended and I can already see how great I will look
I had the pleasure of undergoing a procedure with Dr. Varsak, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Varsak displayed the highest level of professionalism, skill, and compassion. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process.
I am 5 month after surgery and can be not happier with a result. 1,5 years ago I had unsuccessful facelift and cheek implants surgery by an other doctor. Besides that Dr Varsak is warm and kind person, he is true professional. I was very worry about surgery but after conversation with Dr Varsak I knew that I am in good hands. Dr Varsak expertly removed cheek implants without damaging any nerve and performed amazing deep plane face and neck lift with very natural result. He understood exactly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations. Dr Varsak has truly golden hands. Team of Dr Varsak was amazing and helpful as well. I highly recommend Dr Varsak to anyone considering surgery.
Deep plane face- and necklift. I am very satisfied with the work of Dr. Varsak. The clinic and the staff were of German standard. Everything was to my complete satisfaction. I am very happy with the result. I look 15 years younger. The surgery was 2 years ago. I am now 55 years old. Thank you Dr. Varsak
I would like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Varsak and his staff for their exceptional care and support throughout my treatment. From the initial consultation, I had confidence in Dr. Varsak’s expertise and knew that he was the right choice for my procedure. He took the time to thoroughly explain all options and address my concerns. I received top-notch care at John Hopkins Anadolu Hospital, where every staff member was incredible and made me feel well cared for throughout my recovery.
He was very accommodating, yet realistic. He did a better job on everything than I could have imagined. I still can't believe how much money I saved for a Doctor MORE QUALIFIED than I could find in my area. I had a facelift, a surgical lip flip and rhinoplasty (only on my lower nose/tip). I am an impatient and nervous patient and his staff was kind, supportive, helped me through any fears I had. Many of my friends that were not in favor of me leaving for Turkey for surgery are considering it themselves! But only with Dr. Varsak.
A Mini Deep Plane Facelift is a less invasive version of the traditional deep plane facelift, designed to lift and tighten the midface and jawline. It offers natural-looking results with a shorter recovery time compared to a full facelift.
Recovery usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities within this period. Swelling and bruising subside gradually, and final results become noticeable in a few months.
Ideal candidates are individuals with mild to moderate sagging in the midface and jawline, usually between their late 30s and 50s. Patients seeking natural rejuvenation without extensive surgery are the best candidates.
Results from a Mini Deep Plane Facelift can last up to 7 to 10 years, depending on aging factors and lifestyle choices. This technique offers longer-lasting results compared to traditional mini facelifts.
A Mini Deep Plane Facelift targets deeper facial layers rather than just the skin, providing more natural and durable results. It focuses on lifting the midface and jawline without the extended recovery required by a full facelift.
Every individual’s aging process is unique. To ensure the best approach for your needs, schedule a consultation with Dr. Varsak, who will assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
