Op. Dr. Ali Çetinkaya - YÜZ GERME - MEME ESTETİĞİ

I have no words to describe the professionalism of all the members of Dr. Ali’s team, and especially the result of the surgery performed by Dr. Ali, which far exceeded all expectations. My skin was dull, aged, and visibly wrinkled, and now I feel as though I have regained 20 years of my life. I must say, there is nothing better that could happen to someone who no longer even recognized themselves. Dr. Ali achieved something I never believed to be possible. He combines exceptional skill, professionalism, and attention to detail, which allows me to say with complete confidence that he is an outstanding choice for aesthetic procedures.

One month ago, Oct 8 and 9, 2025 my wife and I both had face lifts performed by Dr. Ali Cetinkaya. I had a deep plane face and deep neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, direct brow lift and fat grafting. My wife had a deep plane face lift, deep neck lift, lower blepharoplasty, gliding brow lift, fat transfer and stem cell. Regarding the actual surgery and our results one month later, both of us are very pleased. Dr Ali is an excellent surgeon with wonderful personable manners. I am choosing to focus on the completely turnkey nature of his service and team of professionals working with him because it was not something I saw in other reviews and is important. From arriving to Istanbul International airport and meeting our ride, to being dropped off at the airport on departure day, we were never once left for wanting. Literally, every and all aspects of this journey from arrival to departure were handled by his great team of professionals. Our initial contact with his coordinator Ecem, was very positive. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and setting up our video conference with Dr. Ali over the course of several weeks of text and audio dialogue via WhatsApp. Dr. Ali's office activities were seamlessly managed by Gizem. She was on top of every logistical question asked and service provided. Our post operative care was beautifully managed by Nurse Ali, who visited with us each day at the hospital and at Antwell medical hotel, changing dressings, assessing progress and answering questions. He was gentle, polite and detailed the entire time. Another person was Simi who handled a variety of medical and non-medical tasks who was a wonderful and kind empathetic man. Dr. Ali’s operating room Nurse, who I met when she removed our stitches, was a top end medical professional. She has a 4-letter name I cannot remember. His videographer was also a good man who pitched in of his own initiative, outside of his videographer duties. What made this journey memorable was how each of them integrated so well as a team. Their teamwork and mutual respect were apparent from day one. The private hospital from which Dr. Ali performs surgery was modern, clean and well-staffed. The floor Nurses English was just so-so, but Google Translate when needed, made this a non-issue. The food, as many patients agreed, was not good. But you’re only there for two days not including your surgery day. Antwell medical hotel is a modern, clean and well-staffed facility with daily housekeeping. Their restaurant food is good. Breakfast was our favorite with many selections. Go to the top floor where there is a great view, a pool table and coffee bar or downstairs on the ground floor where there’s a pastry/coffee shop. The 4th floor has a relaxing living room type of seating area. There’s also a tasty Kabob restaurant at the top of the hill from Antwell and an impressive north American style mall about a 12-minute walk downhill from Antwell that’s loaded with quality restaurants. A quick note regarding payment…I assume like us, many bring the maximum allowable cash into the country and pay the balance with a credit card. The remaining balance on your surgery will likely be charged through Antwells front desk charge card machine and not directly by Dr. Ali’s practice. So, don’t be surprised or alarmed. It’s normal and you will be issued electronic receipts. I hope this helps with your decision-making process. We couldn’t be happier that Dr. Ali and his superb team of professionals were our choice. They were all terrific.

With great confidence, I would award Dr. Ali and his team a well-deserved AAA+ rating. Our journey began in early 2024, and from the very first consultation—where we explored treatment and surgical options—the experience has consistently been nothing short of world-class. The team took the time to listen, explain options thoroughly, and weigh pros and cons in detail, which greatly supported timely and informed decision-making. By mid-2025, when my time came, the entire process—from the carefully planned arrival to the seamless departure—was delivered with precision, passion, and attention to detail. Nothing was overlooked. Most importantly, the aftercare and ongoing support have been outstanding, adding tremendous value to the overall experience. I share this feedback wholeheartedly, with the highest regard for Dr. Ali and his dedicated team. Special thanks to Dr. Ali and Nurse Ecim—I look forward to seeing you again in 2026.

Dr Ali Cetinkaya and his team are amazing. From start to finish you are cared for. Ejem is lovely and answered all of my questions, and there was a lot, prior to the initial consultation within minutes, sometimes immediately. We then had an online consultation with Dr Ali and this confirmed we had the right surgeon and team to perform a deep plane face and neck lift, temporal lift, eyebrow gliding, fat transfer and stem cells injected in my face. Everything is included, transfers, hotel, breakfast, hospital treatments and after care and medication. We were met at the airport with the lovely Gizem who took us to the hotel. We also met with Nurse Ali who was the nurse and translator, however, all the team spoke really good English. Nurse Ali accompanied us to appointments at the hospital for a pre operative assessment, blood test, ECG and chest X-Ray. You meet with an anesthesiologist who goes into your medical history meticulously. I met Dr Ali the day before surgery to go over everything and then on the day of the surgery to be marked up (i think he used permanent marker as my blonde hair now has purple streaks lol). Dr Ali just puts you at ease, even if he has worries, he keeps you calm and reassured and he also has a great sense of humour.My operation was around 9 hours due to my health and meds, he just took extra care. He came to check in me the day after surgery and confirmed it had gone really well. He recommended Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and if you want to speed up healing, give it a go, yes it's a little uncomfortable but it really helps. I also had O2 oxygen laser therapy and lip filler. Bearkai is the photographer and he records your journey and process. I gave consent so others can see what you will go through. If you thing of going to have surgery you will not regret going to Dr Ali. Some in our hotel went elsewhere and were complaining. Do your research but always make sure you don't cut any corners. My friends told me i didn't need it. I am 59 years and probaby didn't look it but i felt my face was tired, with drooping lids, jowls and deep lines round my mouth and wrinkly neck, i didn't my face matched how old i felt. I'm happy so far but looking 25 years younger is weird, I'm looking forward to settling back into my new face once the swelling reduces 🙏. My experience was so good I'm returning to Dr Ali for breast augmentation as mine are 18 years old and one breast is capsulated, previously done in UK.

I had a facelift, neck lift, platysma bands repair, brow lift and temporal lift with Dr Ali Cetakeye, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning he made me feel comfortable, listened to all my concerns, and explained everything in clear detail. I live with hemicrania continua, (which is a rare, chronic headache disorder that causes constant, fluctuating pain on both sides of my head and face) , so I was worried about how the surgery and recovery might affect my pain. Amazingly, not only was the whole process so much easier than I expected, but the constant pain I had over my eyebrows has now completely gone since surgery. That in itself has been life-changing. The results look so natural — my jawline and neck are smooth, the platysma bands are gone, and the lift around my brows and temples has completely refreshed my face without making me look “done.” I still look like me, just a better, brighter version. Recovery was smooth, and Dr Ali and his team were always there if I had questions or needed reassurance. I honestly feel he’s given me back my confidence and more comfort going forward. I can’t recommend Dr Ali Cetakeye and his exceptional team enough — not just for his skill as a surgeon, but also for their kindness and their genuine care they showed me throughout the process.
