Dr. Cem Payaslı
A specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. A childhood curiosity about both the medical and the aesthetic sides of the human form led him into medicine. Today he performs facial, breast and body surgery at his practice on Bağdat Avenue.
His work starts from how the face changes layer by layer, and which areas descend and lose volume over time. He has specialized in thread suspension systems such as CempaLift.

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 3–6 hours.
05 / 5
