I have chosen Dr Hakan for my breast augmentation and uplift and I don't regret my decision at all. From very beginning I was looked after by the doctor and his assistant. Also the staff in a hospital was very approachable and helpful. The result after my surgery was exactly what I was expecting. On my consultation the doctor was a good listener and usderstood what kind of effect I was looking for but also he will advise you and do what's the best for you as at patient. I felt very safe during the whole procedure and I am grateful for this. Everything went very smoothly. Thank you so much for this good experience.

Common questions
Before your consultation
your questions
Dr. Hakan Bulam wrote these answers. If your question is not here, you can ask the assistant.
Which tissues does a face and neck lift address?
The facial support layer known as the SMAS is part of this plan. A procedure on the platysma muscle in the neck may also be included. During a face and neck lift, we reposition supporting tissues that have shifted and remove excess skin.
What is a deep plane facelift?
In a deep plane facelift, we work beneath the SMAS, the supporting layer of the face. We release the necessary portions of the retaining ligaments and move the skin and supporting tissue together, preserving their connections.
How do deep plane and SMAS facelift techniques differ?
In SMAS plication, we fold the supporting layer with sutures; in the high SMAS technique, we lift and reposition it. In a deep plane facelift, we work beneath this layer, release the retaining ligaments and move the skin and supporting tissue together. We choose the technique according to the position of the tissues in the cheeks and along the jawline.
