The Surgeon

Dr.
Cem Payaslı

Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery

Naturalness, proportion and timelessness lie at the heart of his aesthetic philosophy. Dr. Cem Payaslı evaluates the unique anatomy of the face and body as a whole, aiming for results that preserve each person's characteristic features. For him, successful aesthetic surgery is surgery that does not look "done" from the outside, and leaves the person feeling in harmony with themselves.

After beginning his medical education at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, he completed his specialty training in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University. Following clinical experience at Zonguldak State Hospital and in Altunizade, he now continues his work at his clinic on Bağdat Avenue in Caddebostan, Istanbul. His areas of work include face and neck rejuvenation, facelifts, thread lift procedures, CempaLift, the Gliding Temporal Lift, next-generation Preservé Breast Augmentation, breast aesthetics and body contouring.

He plans every procedure around the person's anatomy, needs and expectations, making a personalized surgical approach the basis of his work. He keeps developing professionally through national and international congresses, advanced technique training and current surgical approaches.

The aim is not to change the person, but to help them reach the best version of themselves, in which they remain who they are despite the passing of time.

“The path to beauty runs through naturalness.”Dr. Payaslı's guiding principle

01Education and specialization

A curiosity about both the medical and the aesthetic sides of the human form, present from an early age, led him into medicine.

He attended primary school at Kültür College in Antakya and completed middle and high school at Arı College in Ankara, then earned his medical degree from Gazi University Faculty of Medicine in Ankara. After medical school, he completed his specialty training in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University.

During his compulsory service at Zonguldak State Hospital, he performed a large number of successful operations. Enriching his professional development with an international outlook, Dr. Payaslı gained experience at private clinics after returning to Istanbul; following two years of clinical practice in Altunizade, he founded Payaslı Clinic.

02The principle of natural beauty

His aesthetic approach is founded on the principle of "natural beauty." Closely following innovative techniques and specializing in particular in thread lift systems such as CempaLift, he aims for long-lasting rejuvenation, tissue regeneration and a balanced look across the facial features.

Alongside his expertise in facial rejuvenation, he also has substantial experience in body contouring, having performed many successful tummy tucks, combined breast procedures and other body contouring surgeries.

Dr. Cem Payaslı's private practice on Bağdat Avenue serves patients from Türkiye and abroad, and holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health.

03Passing experience on to young surgeons

Over the years, Dr. Payaslı has passed on his surgical principles, his approach to facial aesthetics and his ethical standards to many young doctors. The young surgeons he has mentored now perform successful operations at different centers, carrying his influence with them. He was a speaker at an international plastic surgery congress held in Kuwait, and has given advanced hands-on training in the TESSLIFT facial suspension technique.

Father

His two children are the most special and most beautiful part of his life. Amid a demanding work schedule, the time he spends with them is more precious to him than anything else.

02

At sea

Whenever he gets the chance, he is out on his boat. Fishing, spending long hours at sea and getting away from the city are among his greatest passions. Time at sea is the most enjoyable break in his busy life.

03

In the stands

Beşiktaş has held a special place in Cem Payaslı's life for years. He follows almost every match from the stands, choosing to experience his team not just from behind a screen but in the atmosphere of the stadium. Over time, his interest in Beşiktaş made its way onto the screen as well. A commentator on Beşiktaş TV, Payaslı still shares his take on the football agenda and the matches in broadcasts he takes part in from time to time.
