Dr. Safa Manav Clinic is an Istanbul-based plastic surgery clinic focused primarily on facial rejuvenation for international patients. Led by Dr. Safa Manav, MD, FEBOPRAS, the clinic specialises in deep plane face and neck lift, endoscopic facial lifting, blepharoplasty, facial fat transfer, lip lift and rhinoplasty.
The clinic’s approach is based on preserving each patient’s individual facial characteristics while addressing the structural changes associated with ageing. Treatment plans are personalised according to facial anatomy, ageing pattern, skin and soft-tissue quality, previous procedures, medical history and individual goals. The aim is to achieve a natural-looking, balanced result rather than an overdone or standardised appearance.
The clinic works extensively with patients travelling from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe. International patients are supported throughout the process by an English-speaking coordination team, including consultation planning, medical assessment, scheduling, translation, accommodation arrangements and postoperative follow-up.
Major facial surgery is performed in accredited hospitals and includes structured preoperative assessment, blood testing and anaesthesiology evaluation. Dr. Safa Manav is certified by the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (FEBOPRAS) and is a member of ISAPS and ASPS.
The clinic generally schedules one major facial operation per day, allowing each case to receive focused surgical attention. For major facial rejuvenation procedures, international patients are usually advised to remain in Istanbul for approximately ten days for preoperative assessment, surgery, postoperative checks and a final review before travelling home.
Patient safety is central to the clinic’s decision-making. Surgery may be postponed or declined when medical or anaesthetic risk is considered unsuitable. Postoperative follow-up continues after patients return home, with results assessed progressively as swelling resolves and tissues settle over the following months.
