Dr Ali Cetinkaya Clinic

Face/ neck. Brow lift/ temporal lift. Fat graphing glands shaved. A whole GMO face. Oct20:25. Yes, I'm a real parent!!
Dr Ali is a very chill, confident and truly an artist of excellence and skills as a Dr.
His entire team is 10/10, and his aftercare is 10/10. I was checked up on every day for 2 weeks. I'm 25 days post op. I'm definitely snatched. Now, Time is the medicine. When I saw Dr Ali in person while I was talking, he just studied my movements. How your expressions come forward while he is mapping in his head the complete picture of what he will do. A true artist.
His entire team is 10/10. The after care is 10/10. Dr. Ali is a master of experience and techniques.
He is honest, as when I saw him in person, he deleted one suggestion he had and swapped it for a better option, yet never was pushy, adding a bunch of new suggestions for extra $$. I really liked his integrity. He is a calm spirit and listens to understand you, very confident, which gave me peace.
10/10 experience

After being recommended to Dr Ali by a friend, I chose his team for my treatment in Turkey. This was a big decision after I promised myself I would NEVER return to Turkey for a treatment again. 5 years ago I had an experience with a different surgeon and my results left a lot to be desired. This trip was partially to correct the mess left by the other Turkish surgeon. We have to be so careful when selecting surgeons in Turkey. Being swayed by price alone and not doing proper research is a foolish mistake. There is so much misinformation out there and way too many reps lurking around support groups.
From my first contact, Ecem was professional, friendly, and attentive. Working quickly and efficiently. I was given a wonderful WhatsApp group to join that was full of other patients using the Dr. It was so supportive and fun. It is a private group consisting only of patients. I still use the group now because it is just lovely and full of the most incredibly funny, amazing, supportive people. From the moment I arrived in Istanbul, I felt truly cared for and listened to, which eased my anxiety about such a big decision. Dr Ali has an incredible bedside manner. It is rare to find such a talented surgeon who also has exceptional soft skills and the ability to make you feel comfortable. I even had the opportunity to spend some extra one-on-one time with Dr Ali because he used his own travel services from the airport. He was perfectly happy to travel with a total stranger patient (I wouldn't be... I would travel alone if I were him.. general public can be a weird bunch ;0 ) He was approachable, down to earth, kind, intelligent and clearly incredibly passionate about his work, team dynamics and patient care.
I was also fortunate to be able to compare my journey with one of my best friends who travelled out at the same time as me. She used a different surgeon and was put in a different hotel. I was shocked at how different our experiences were. She actually left their hotel in the end and paid extra to stay with me in the Antwell Suites for her recovery. Her journey was much more stressful than mine. Dr Ali’s care, comfort, and waiting times were unmatched. The overall care package is important, not just the surgical results. My friend has also had excellent results but her overall experience left a lot to be desired in regard to stress, anxiety, comfort and care. I almost enjoyed my experience, which is a bizarre thing to say about going for surgery. It made me very glad I had chosen Dr Ali.
I had some specific concerns about anaesthesia and how I react to it. They were addressed directly by the anaesthetist, who I actually got to meet and speak with. He ensured my recovery was smooth and comfortable. Nurse Ali was very supportive, steadfast and consistent. Ensuring everything went seamlessly and in good time through the hospital. Translating for me and generally being a great support.
The nurses in the hospital were kind and accommodating, even offering meal options to suit my preferences. Those who didnt speak English were sweet and willing to engage with a translator on my phone. Even the cleaner stayed for a google translate chat with me. I can't understand people complaining about nrses not speaking English. If you go to Turkey not every nurse will speak English. Staying at The Antwell Suites made recovery easy, with prompt support whenever needed. Most people staying there are in recovery which makes it a fun and supportive environment to be in. The facilities and food were very good. Transport and hotel services were excellent.
My healing was as fast and comfortable as can reasonably be expected. My results are fantastic and my incisions are neat. I wish I had gone a little lower with my scar by Dr Ali went through all my options with me, made the pros and cons of scar placement and I made my own decisions on placement, so that is on me. The only improvement I could suggest is to give a little more time and room when patients are looking at paperwork. That is the only thing I can think of and that is scraping the bottom of the pettiness barrel. I highly recommend Dr Ali and his team to anyone considering treatment in Turkey—they exceeded all my expectations. I will certainly return to to him in the future....in fact I am l am already looking at my next procedure. Be carefull he is addictive ! Going with his team was more like a fun break from work and well needed change of scenery, hanging out with fun, like minded people, rather than a scary surgery. I dont make light of surgery, it is a big decsion and it can be scary. Recovery can be a grind, which is exactly why you need good support services and comfortable surroundings. Finding a clinically gifted surgeon is step one, the other details also need consideration. Dr Ali and his team are the whole package.

Amazing- truly shocked at my outcome. The care that they give you, the expertise. The results are more than I could’ve even hoped for. I had a deep face plane lift, temporal lift, neck lift, lip lift, breast lift, fat grafting with facial injections, and CO2 laser. Not only is it extremely affordable in Istanbul, Turkey. 🇹🇷 I was in the care was seriously unbelievably. He, his team, his nurses, and the hotel have got to be the best in the world. Class act all the way. I love Dr Ali and I hope to go back next year, maybe for a forehead lift, etc. (I secretly just wanna see them all again 😂)❤️

I had a temporal lift and breast reduction with Dr. Ali Cetinkaya, and my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. I chose his clinic after extensive research, and from my very first consultation, I knew I was in the right hands. Dr. Ali is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely caring. He took the time to listen, explain every step, and make me feel completely comfortable.

During surgery, he addressed a rupture with such precision and care, and the results have far exceeded my expectations. My recovery was smooth, and his follow-up support was amazing. I’m genuinely ecstatic about the outcome — my confidence has been completely renewed.

The clinic itself was spotless, professional, and so welcoming. Every member of the team was kind and attentive. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Ali and his clinic more highly — he’s truly a perfectionist and an artist in his work.

I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how grateful I am to Dr. Ali Cetinkaya. From start to finish, he was absolutely incredible. I had a temporal lift and breast reduction (which also involved addressing a rupture), and his precision, care, and dedication were beyond anything I could have hoped for.

Dr. Ali made me feel completely at ease through every step — he took the time to explain everything, showed genuine compassion, and treated me with such warmth and professionalism. The level of care he provided after surgery was just as amazing as the procedure itself.

The results have exceeded my expectations — I’m honestly ecstatic. My confidence has been completely transformed, and I feel like the best version of myself again. Dr. Ali is a true artist and a kind soul — I’m so thankful I chose him and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

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.

I had a facelift, neck lift, platysma bands repair, brow lift and temporal lift with Dr Ali Cetakeye,. 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 the genuine care they showed me throughout the process.

I had a calf augmentation with Dr. Ali, and I am very happy with the result. I feel more confident and great. I would totally recommend Dr. Ali for any prospective patients.

The entire trip was very well organised with transportation and hospital visits. All the team members communicated very efficiently via WhatsApp and everything was clear.

The hotel itself had really great food and the facilities were amazing (there’s a steam room, sauna, Turkish bath and more).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Artist and Exceptional Surgeon – Dr. Ali Changed My Life
I recently underwent a deep plane neck and facelift, temple lift (upper left), and fat transfer with Dr. Ali, and I can honestly say this experience exceeded every expectation I had — and then some.
From the very first consultation, Dr. Ali demonstrated the perfect blend of professionalism, humility, and artistry. His bedside manner is second to none — respectful, calm, and truly present in every interaction. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answer every question thoughtfully, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident in his care. Not once did I feel rushed or like "just another patient" — Dr. Ali genuinely cares.
What sets him apart, however, is his incredible eye for detail and natural results. He is, without a doubt, a true artist in his field. The transformation he achieved is nothing short of remarkable — refined, youthful, and completely natural-looking. I still look like me, just refreshed and beautifully rejuvenated. The deep plane lift and fat transfer were done with such precision, and the results have given me a confidence I haven’t felt in years.
Dr. Ali is also incredibly humble. Despite his immense skill and talent, he remains down-to-earth and kind — and this energy flows through his entire practice. His team is absolutely the best — warm, professional, attentive, and always ready to go above and beyond. From pre-op to post-op care, they made me feel supported every step of the way.
If you are looking for a surgeon who is not only technically gifted but also deeply compassionate, respectful, and artistic in his approach, I cannot recommend Dr. Ali enough. He is simply amazing to watch and even more amazing to trust with something so personal.
I am beyond grateful to have found him — truly a life-changing experience.

Last month, I got a deep plane lower and temporal face and necklift + fat grafting under my eyes and CO2 laser.

I am 38 years old and I try to take care of my skin. Unfortunately, due to stressful situations in the last years and weight loss, I started to look much older, and people always commented on me if I didn't sleep well.

I did fillers and Hifu, but it is a lot of money for a minor difference... So I wanted a really effective one-time treatment, and that's why I chose to go for a facelift already at my age.

I actually used ChatGPT to ask where I needed to go, and Dr. Ali Cetinkaya was one of the names ChatGPT mentioned. ChatGPT mentioned Dr. Ali because of his great reviews. First, I was doubting because there is a negative connotation about going abroad for treatments, but I am glad I chose to go!

I am from Belgium, and if I had the same facelift as I had with Dr. Ali, I would have gone home the same day, but now I had to stay in the hospital for two day's and they checked me constantly. Afterwards, I stayed in the hotel where the other patients of the doctor also stayed. You don't feel alone there. So if you are travelling alone, you don't need to be scared because you will feel at home here.

The hotel is used to patients staying here, and they are so friendly! Next to the reception, there is a medical office where a nurse is available 24/7 and a doctor. Ali and his team visit the hotel every day.

After my surgery, the doctor or nurse checked me every day, and this is a big plus. This service I wouldn't have had in my own country. I would have gone home and only gone back to the doctor if the stitches needed to be removed. So, actually, if you have a good doctor and a good team, you are better off here than at home alone.

I was very, very nervous before the operation. As I am a perfectionist and know how I want things done, it is difficult not to be nervous to give my face into the hands of someone you don't know, so I was so nervous and was scared that I made the wrong decision. Dr. Ali even came to the hotel the night before to talk to me and reassure me. He even said he is not going to operate if I am doubting or we can plan later, so there was no pressure... I really appreciated that he still came to talk to me at 10 p.m. in the evening before the operation. It say's lot about how they take care of the patients.

So for the operation ...
When I woke up, I had a little bit of pain, but you can relate it to a bad hangover. I think I felt this like two days afterwards, you don't really feel pain anymore. Your face is swollen for three weeks, but afterwards you can perfectly go out. I cover my scars with my long hair so nobody notices.

And then the most important... The results! I wanted to stay the same, just refreshed. I wanted my eyes to stay natural, so no fox eyes and a tight jawline... And I got 100 per cent of what I asked! So thank you, Dr. Ali!!! You did amazing work! The results are really natural. It looks just like a big glow up!

I also had fat grafting under my eyes, and I make a joke about it to my friends. I say the best thing about my facelift is my flat stomach 😂. The doctor used some fat from my stomach, and now my stomach seems tighter, so I don't complain about that 😂.

So I can say I am happy with the decision to go abroad and that I chose Dr. Ali. Dr. Ali and his team are so friendly and professional. You are really in good hands with him and his team. I was too nervous, so I hope my review can help because you really don't need to be... You are in the best hands!

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
