Dr Ali Cetinkaya Clinic

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 and fat transfer 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 thinking 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 think 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 and previously done in the UK.

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Ali Çetinkaya and his team. From the initial consultation to post-op care, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail.

Dr. Çetinkaya is not only a highly skilled and talented cosmetic surgeon, but he also truly listens and delivers natural, beautiful results that reflect your goals. I felt informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.

Additionally, Dr. Çetinkaya’s has an outstanding team. They coordinated every detail flawlessly — from appointment scheduling and airport pickups to private transportation. The post-op care was equally impressive.

I genuinely felt like I was in the best hands, both medically and personally. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Çetinkaya and his dedicated team to anyone seeking not just amazing surgical results, but a well-organised, luxury-level experience from start to finish.

If you desire exceptional service and attention to detail, then Dr Ali is your man! Could not have been happier in our choice of having him facilitate our cosmetic surgeries. His team is amazing…inci, Ecem, Gizem and Elif

Making a decision to go to Turkey for plastic surgery is a huge decision, but one that I am SO happy I made. I researched doctors for months; I am a very type A personality (extremely analytical) and basically had an excel spreadsheet listing out countless amounts of criteria. I have worked in the OR/surgery in the US for a decade plus, and I know what to look for.

My hope is that this review can make your search a lot easier and more efficient. Don’t think twice about Turkey, or going to Dr Centinkaya and his extraordinary team.

I am only 11 days out from a deep plane face and neck lift, an upper bleph, a temple lift, lip lift, CO2 laser, and a breast aug revision and I am sitting in the comfort of my own home, without one bruise, barely any swelling, (never had a drain etc), and I am ecstatic with my results. I am a 47 yo female and I went solo.

Dr. Ali is an artist. His “refinements” for me have me feeling like a little supermodel. I look just like I did, but prettier and younger. He is known for his natural aesthetic and that was really important to me. I wanted the “Lindsay Lohan refresh”, not my Grandmothers facelift. I loved that he studied endoscopy under a very famous surgeon in Milano and that he was also up on the famous US surgeons approaches and techniques (the surgeons that cost 180k to see in the US).

The flight over was simple-just take melatonin and sleep. His coordinators literally arrange every single other thing - from your VIP transfers (they were private, posh vans), to your hotel (which has a 24/7 infirmary so there is always a nurse on call), to all consults, to meds, to hyperbaric O2 treatments should you choose to do them (I did 3 and HIGHLY recommend them for speeding up healing), and we’re on call for me 24/7 whilst I was in Turkey. They were all so lovely.

Some tips that helped me immensely and which I think added to my extraordinary healing process:
✨A carry on size roller bag to bring your belongings to the hospital (you stay 2 nights)
✨‘Heal Fast’ Supplements (take before, during and after)
♥️From Amazon:
✨Mini Ninja Blender and Ancient Nutrition Collagen Peptide Protein Powder
✨‘Your Face’ Pillow, Back Sleeper Pillow
✨VitaMedica Arnica Montana and Bromelain w/Querctin (take before, during and after)
✨Ponyflo Sunblocker Wide Brim Hat
✨Happyluxe Shawl Wrap for Women in black (you’ll blend right in)
✨Any super soft, nutritious foods you love

To note: Turkey is more strict than America about meds. In the US, it’s automatic you get A-tivan (to help you sleep and calm your nerves) so I would HIGHLY suggest bringing your own.

So that’s that. As I mentioned, I am 11 days out and could easily put on tinted sunscreen and walk about town. I guarantee in a week I’ll be 100% presentable.

Ps. Re cost: he was far less than some of the surgeons I researched and his results are 5 star ⭐️

Great experience, great results. The office and clinic staff were wonderful to work with. Dr Ali is a genius! I had a difficult job, repairing a

I was recommended by a close friend who has had multiple surgeries by Dr Ali.. I loved her results and she told me how good he was and he's team. From the initial contact with Dr. Ali and he's team they were super helpful and professional . As soon as I arrived in Istanbul from the UK I was met by the lovely gizem and a driver in a vip car which was lovely.. the hotel which was included in the package was lovely and breakfast included. When I had the consultation with Dr. Ali he was very humble kind felt like he really listened to me and understood my end goal result .. he is a really sweet man who really cares about he's patients. The team who works with Dr. Ali are all lovely. Gizem Selin and Dallam were all fantastic and so caring and helpful.. post op I was very well looked after in the hospital and then at the hotel where I was checked on everyday by nurses (change dressing) etc. I felt at ease and comfortable the whole time I was there. I am so happy with the results of my surgery. I had a breast lift with implants with fat transfer.

I am obsessed and happy with my new boobs. Dr ali is so talented and a genius. I'm a trans woman and I felt accepted and cared for by Dr Ali and he's team. I am planning on coming back for 2 more surgeries with Dr ali and look forward to seeing him and he's team very soon I can't say thankyou enough.

I chose to have a deep plane facelift with neck lift performed by Dr. Ali Çetinkaya, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, everything was exceptionally well-organized.

Dr. Ali Çetinkaya is a true expert in his field and understood my goals perfectly. His calm and professional demeanor immediately gave me confidence. The results are absolutely stunning— I look like a refreshed and younger version of myself, without any unnatural appearance.

A big thank you also to his amazing team, who took care of me with warmth and professionalism. The support and service were outstanding, and I always felt safe and well looked after.

Many thanks to Dr. Ali Çetinkaya and his entire team for their excellent work and top-tier service! I can highly recommend this clinic without hesitation.

After researching surgeons for over a year, I came across Dr Ali back in April 2024 and began discussing surgical options. I was impressed to see so many happy clients from Turkey and abroad with beautiful and natural-looking results. After talking for some months we determined I should undergo a deep plane facelift and necklift, lip lift, temporal brow lift, and upper blepharoplasty. I finally scheduled for January 2025. Upon arrival at the hotel, we had a consult and determined that all the surgeries planned we would move forward with, and was recommended to consider fat grafting along with the originally planned surgery, followed by CO2 laser and Morpheus8. I am so happy that I decided to take his advice and do the additional procedures.

Dr. Ali and his nurses Selin and Damla were all very open and honest about what to expect and what my healing may look like, and made me feel very comfortable with my decision to move forward. This was my very first surgery of any kind and my first time being put under general anesthesia. I was a bit nervous and apprehensive prior to arrival but after meeting with everyone, the apprehensiveness disappeared.

The team set up all details surrounding the surgery, including pick up from the bus terminal as I travelled around Turkey prior to surgery and drop off at the airport to depart Turkey following, hotel stay at the Antwell Suites, all transfers to/from the clinic and hospital. It was all seamless.

So far I am happy with my results, and can't wait to see how they will look as my healing journey continues.

I did a great deal of research before choosing Dr. Ali as my surgeon. It was very important to me that I got natural-looking results and from what I can see so far, things are going very well. I had a deep plane facelift, necklift, lip lift, and temporal brow lift as well as fat transfer. Today is exactly 3 weeks since my surgery and I'm healing quite nicely. The team was very helpful from the point of booking my surgery all the way through to dropping me off at the airport when my time in Istanbul was finished. I would also like to say I scar easily and had a lot of concerns about visible scarring and Dr Ali is an artist with the way he handled the incisions. They are well-hidden and very tidy. I really don't think I could have had a better result anywhere. As an aside, I stayed at antwell hotel as part of the package and it was lovely.

What can I say about Dr Ali and his team!!! Where do I even start? I’ve just returned from İnstanbul and know it well because I’ve been going out there for tooth implants. I researched for years to find a Dr who specialised in the face. I scrolled all the usual review forums, Instagram etc. However, I had to go out to have abdominal surgery to fix the damage done to me by UK NHS from a defective mesh implant which ruined my health and body. So I paid privately and found a surgeon in Istanbul too who used the best facilities including Acibadem Hospital and Antwell Suites Recovery Hotel which has its own infirmary and spa. So while I was there after spending years trying to find a Dr for my face I met a few of Dt Ali Cetinkaya’s patients. They were singing his praises telling me how talented he is that he prioritises safety and care and that, unlike my last surgeon, they saw him regularly and he had his own permanent nursing staff who are totally dedicated and are always on call at the infirmary. So this was something I’d never encountered in all my 10 years of having private surgery. A Dr who prioritised his patients over money. For instance, unlike other surgeons, he only does one surgery per day. A lot of surgeons squeeze in two surgeries which is nuts given that these surgeries take up to 5/6 hrs. I literally thought this was fate.. and immediately contacted them when I returned home. Knowing that Dr Ali also uses the best facilities, because Antwell is exceptional for recovery. I was on my own both times and everyone there are patients from all over the world so it’s all geared up for patients who end up becoming friends. So yes within a few weeks, I had a FaceTime chat with Dr Ali. I already knew I wanted him but I was doubly convinced after our consultation. Unfortunately at that time,e he didn’t do visits to London but he is going to change that and is planning to have open days. That didn’t even matter for me because I knew I’d made the right choice. He’s a lovely caring fluent English speaking aesthetic genius as far as I’m concerned. So when I arrived I met the whole team, Damla, and Selin are his full-time nurses and Gizem is the coordinator. Unlike most ppl, I have a lot to compare my experience with as I’ve had 3 cosmetic surgeries including one in the UK and 7 other ops. So when I tell you this service is top tier first rate I am speaking from experience. I had 2 nights in the hospital with private nurses then I was taken to Dr Ali’s extremely smart clinic ( even for Knightsbridge London standards!) there I had the latest technology Co2 laser treatment and asked for him to do extra work on my TT scar and chest. The face is included in the price. Being a 30-year smoker co2 was essential for me and my skin looks 25 again. It’s quite astonishing! So I’m a 52 year old who had deep plane face and neck lift, temporal lift. Lip lift and nose tip. They had me booked in to stay 12 nights that’s the other difference I was sent home totally unprepared and far too early last time after my TT. Dr Ali may be a little more expensive but that’s because he spends more and he’s the best and you don’t want to take any chances with your face. All meds are included. I had a few issues with my neck swelling up, Selin drained it 3 times which was a massive relief and had me on steroids. Some Drs don’t care like this and leave you to fend for yourself. Communication is paramount when you’re going through something like this. So pretty much they are there for you every step of the way if anything needs doing or goes wrong. I literally love this team and Dr Ali is a wonderful soul and so talented. I’m so pleased I went with a younger surgeon because he’s using cutting-edge technology, he encourages to do hyperbaric oxygen chamber and he’s so committed and hardworking it’s crazy. He has unlimited energy and empathy. I honestly saw him most days I do not how he can fit this all in! He must be working 7 days a week. But he prioritises his health and wellbeing too so as I said before he only wants to do one surgery per day. I think he will be considered the best surgeon in Turkey one day and be famous. He has attracted patients from all over the world. The cost in UK and US would be 4 times the cost. I will never go anywhere else for work. He does bodies too did I mention that? I am going back in a few months for more treatment and I need to finish dental work too. Istanbul ppl are lovely. I felt much safer touring around the grand bazaar on the Europe side than in London. All in all the best possible experience if I could give Dr Ali and his team 6 stars I would and I will be dropping him to see him when he comes to London.when my face goes down I will post before and after photos but too swollen at the moment. GO WITH DR ALI YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
