Dr. Necdet Urhan, Plastic surgeon - Antalya, Turkey

Op. Dr. Necdet Urhan is a Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist based in Antalya. He graduated from Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine and subsequently completed specialist training in plastic surgery at the same university. Before beginning his specialist career, he also gained clinical experience in the Emergency Department of Tirebolu State Hospital.

During the final years of his specialist training, Dr. Urhan pursued additional experience in breast aesthetics and post-mastectomy breast reconstruction in Brussels. He also observed advanced facial-aesthetic techniques during professional visits to surgeons Dr. Ben Talei and Dr. Ozan Sözer in the United States.

Following his residency, he worked as a Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist at Antalya Training and Research Hospital, performing both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. He now provides surgical care to patients from Türkiye and abroad.

Dr. Urhan has passed the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery examination and the Turkish Board certification examination. His LinkedIn profile identifies him as a Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon and FEBOPRAS.

Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Dr. Urhan offers facial procedures designed to address sagging, volume loss, changes around the eyes and reduced definition of the face and neck.

His listed facial procedures include:

• Deep plane facelift
• SMAS facelift
• Face and neck lift
• Midface lift
• Temporal lift
• Brow lift
• Upper and lower blepharoplasty
• Facial fat transfer
• Lip lift
• Rhinoplasty
• Chin surgery
• Double-chin correction
• Prominent-ear correction

The appropriate facelift technique is selected after assessing the patient’s skin quality, facial structure, tissue descent, neck anatomy and expectations.

Patient-focused introduction

Facial ageing does not affect every person in the same way. Some patients are mainly concerned about jowls and loss of jawline definition, while others experience changes around the eyes, cheeks, neck or temples.

Rather than applying the same procedure to every patient, Dr. Urhan evaluates the deeper facial tissues, skin laxity and areas of volume loss before recommending an individual treatment plan. Depending on the examination, a facelift may be combined with neck lifting, eyelid surgery, brow lifting or facial fat transfer.

Breast Surgery

Dr. Urhan undertook additional training in breast aesthetics and post-mastectomy breast reconstruction during his specialist education in Brussels. His listed breast procedures include augmentation, lifting and reduction surgery.

Available breast procedures

• Breast augmentation with implants
• Breast lift
• Breast reduction
• Breast lift with implants
• Breast asymmetry correction
• Revision breast surgery
• Individualised breast reshaping
• Male breast reduction for gynecomastia

Patient-focused introduction

Breast surgery is not only about increasing or reducing breast size. Shape, symmetry, nipple position, skin quality, chest dimensions and the patient’s lifestyle must all be considered.

During consultation, the doctor evaluates these factors before recommending breast augmentation, lifting, reduction or a combined approach. Final implant type, size and surgical technique are decided only after medical evaluation and detailed measurements.

Liposuction and Body Contouring

Liposuction may be considered for patients who have localised fat deposits that remain despite changes in diet and physical activity. It is a contouring procedure rather than a general weight-loss treatment.

Treatment areas may include:

• Abdomen
• Waist and flanks
• Back
• Hips
• Thighs
• Arms
• Double chin
• Male chest
• Multiple areas as part of circumferential liposuction

Dr. Urhan’s published procedure list includes liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, abdominoplasty, arm lift and thigh lift.

Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly called a tummy tuck, is intended to improve loose abdominal skin and, when required, repair separation or weakness of the abdominal muscles.

It may be considered after:

• Pregnancy
• Significant weight loss
• Age-related skin laxity
• Previous abdominal changes
• Persistent excess skin around the lower abdomen

A tummy tuck may sometimes be combined with liposuction of the waist, flanks or back. The extent of surgery depends on the amount of loose skin, muscle condition, previous scars, general health and the patient’s goals.

Body-Lift Surgery

Body lifting may be suitable for patients with significant loose skin after major weight loss, pregnancy or age-related changes.

Procedures may include:

• Lower body lift
• Circumferential body lift
• Extended tummy tuck
• Arm lift
• Thigh lift
• Back lift
• Combined body-contouring surgery

Because combined body-lift procedures can involve longer operating times, the treatment must be planned around the patient’s health, blood-test results, body mass index and safe surgical limits. Some procedures may need to be divided into separate stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dr. Necdet Urhan board-certified?

His official website states that he passed the European Board of Plastic Surgery examination and the Turkish Board certification examination. His LinkedIn profile identifies him as FEBOPRAS.

What procedures does Dr. Urhan specialise in?

His practice covers facial aesthetic surgery, breast surgery and body-contouring procedures. His official treatment list includes deep plane facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck, thigh lift and arm lift.

Can I receive an evaluation before travelling?

Yes. Patients can normally submit photographs, medical information and their desired outcome for preliminary review. However, the definitive surgical plan is confirmed following an in-person consultation.

What photographs should I send?

For facial surgery, send clear photographs from the front, both sides and three-quarter angles in natural lighting.

For breast or body surgery, send front, side and back views while standing straight. Photographs should be recent, unfiltered and taken from a suitable distance.

Can several operations be combined?

Some facial, breast or body procedures can be combined when medically appropriate. The decision depends on the patient’s health, body mass index, expected operating time and the complexity of each procedure.

Safety may require certain operations to be performed separately.

How long should I stay in Antalya?

The required stay varies according to the procedure. Smaller procedures may require a shorter visit, while facelifts, tummy tucks and combined body-contouring operations usually require a longer period for early recovery and follow-up.

The exact travel duration should be provided after the doctor confirms the proposed operation.

Will I look unnatural after a facelift?

The intention of modern facial surgery is to reposition descended tissues and improve facial definition without creating an excessively tight appearance. Results still vary between patients and depend on anatomy, healing and the procedures performed.

Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?

No. Liposuction is primarily intended to reshape localised fat deposits. Patients should ideally be close to a stable and medically appropriate weight.

Can pregnancy affect tummy-tuck results?

Yes. Future pregnancy may stretch the abdominal skin and muscles again. Patients planning pregnancy may be advised to postpone tummy-tuck surgery.

Do I need to stop smoking?

Smoking and nicotine can interfere with blood circulation and wound healing. Patients should disclose all nicotine use, including cigarettes, vaping and nicotine products. The doctor will provide instructions regarding when they must be stopped.

When can I fly home?

Flight clearance depends on the procedure, recovery and the doctor’s assessment. Patients should not book a return flight that is earlier than the recommended medical stay.

Are results guaranteed?

No ethical surgeon can guarantee a specific aesthetic result. The doctor can explain the expected improvement, limitations and risks based on the patient’s anatomy and medical condition.

What determines the final price?

Pricing may depend on:

• Type and complexity of surgery
• Number of procedures
• Anaesthesia duration
• Hospital stay
• Implant or medical-material requirements
• Hotel accommodation
• Transfers
• Compression garments
• Additional medical testing

Can I bring a companion?

A companion can normally travel with the patient. Hotel arrangements and any additional charges should be confirmed before booking.

What happens after I return home?

Patients receive recovery instructions and may be asked to send photographs or attend video follow-ups. Any urgent or unusual symptoms should be reported immediately.
