Dr. Cem Payaslı
Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon
He approaches aesthetic surgery not simply as a way to change appearance, but as a holistic discipline that considers a person's anatomy, facial and body proportions and natural expression together. In his facial, breast and body procedures, Dr. Cem Payaslı puts natural, balanced results at the centre.
Particularly in facial rejuvenation and thread suspension, his CempaLift approach assesses the anatomical layers of the face, and how they change with age, in detail, so that every solution is tailored to the person. He believes every patient's anatomy and expectations are different. His aim, therefore, is not to create a standard aesthetic look, but to achieve natural, timeless results in harmony with a person's own facial and body structure.

Consultation
We listen to your expectations in every detail. By appointment, Monday–Saturday 10:00–18:00.

Your own plan
The same procedure is never done the same way on two people. Method, anesthesia and timeline are written for you, and we never promise more than we can do.

Local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the procedure. CempaLift takes 20–30 minutes; a facelift and neck lift takes 2–4 hours.
05 / 5
