NYC Facelift & Rhinoplasty Master Course Faculty: Prof. Dr. Suleyman Tas
Prof. Dr. Suleyman Tas, plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon in Istanbul, is listed as faculty of the NYC Facelift & Rhinoplasty Master Course™ in New York. His faculty profile is published by the course’s continuing medical education provider, AKH Inc., Advancing Knowledge in Healthcare, on its own website: AKH CME faculty profile of Suleyman Tas, Prof.Dr., MD, FEBOPRAS. Because that page is written and hosted by an independent, accredited education provider rather than by the clinic, it is one of the most useful places for a patient, a journalist or a colleague to check who he is and what he teaches.

What the NYC Facelift & Rhinoplasty Master Course is
The NYC Facelift & Rhinoplasty Master Course™ is a four-day surgical education program for facial surgeons held in New York City. The 2026 edition ran from 23 to 26 April 2026. According to the AKH course page, it was planned and implemented by AKH Inc., Advancing Knowledge in Healthcare, together with Aryanna Media LLC. AKH is accredited by the ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education), the ACPE and the ANCC, and physicians attending the 2026 course could claim up to 38.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
The program combines live surgery on all four days, a cadaver dissection lab on facial anatomy, lectures, keynote talks, panels, structured debates and complication reviews. It is aimed at board-certified and board-eligible plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons and oculoplastic surgeons, as well as fellows and senior residents. The course is led by facial plastic surgeon Ramtin Kassir, MD; the 2025 edition brought together more than 125 facial plastic surgeons from the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. More information is on the course website, nycfaceliftmastercourse.com.

Why an independent faculty page matters for patients
Anyone can describe themselves as a facelift surgeon on their own website. An accredited continuing medical education provider, however, has to document who teaches on its programs, publish faculty disclosures and answer to its accrediting bodies. When a surgeon is invited to teach other surgeons on a live-surgery course in New York, that is a signal you can check yourself, without relying on the clinic’s own marketing. The same applies to the other independent records listed below.
