His clinical emphasis lies in the deep plane facelift, an advanced technique that works beneath the muscle layer of the face rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach aims to reposition sagging tissue at its foundation, producing results that age gracefully over time.
Dr. Çiğdem describes his philosophy through a simple invitation on his practice materials — come as you are, leave as you wish. That sentiment reflects a patient-centered approach where questions are welcomed and expectations are carefully managed before any procedure begins.
Facial aging affects each patient differently, and Dr. Çiğdem approaches every consultation as an individual study. Factors like bone structure, skin thickness, and the depth of the nasolabial folds all shape the surgical plan he recommends.
The deep plane facelift he performs addresses the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin). By lifting this layer directly, the technique avoids the pulled, tight look sometimes associated with older methods.
Dr. Çiğdem holds membership in the TSPRAS (Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons), a professional body that connects surgeons across the country. Such affiliations reflect ongoing engagement with the wider surgical community.
Beyond the facelift itself, his practice covers a broad range of facial procedures. These include neck lift surgery, eyelid aesthetics, temporal lifting, nose reshaping, and bichectomy — each contributing to a fuller picture of facial rejuvenation.
Istanbul serves as the backdrop to his work, a city that has long positioned itself as a bridge between East and West. This geography has made it a natural hub for patients travelling from across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond in search of experienced surgical care.
Recovery guidance forms a central part of how Dr. Çiğdem prepares his patients. He emphasizes realistic timelines, explaining that the visible results of a deep plane facelift continue to refine themselves over several months as tissues settle.
Patient safety anchors the ethos of Berat Clinic, which holds a Health Tourism Authorization Certificate for treating international visitors. Dr. Çiğdem describes meticulous care as the practice's greatest asset, a value woven through the surgical journey.
His approach to facial rejuvenation blends technical precision with an understanding of how faces change with time. Rather than chasing dramatic transformation, he tends toward results that read as a rested, refreshed version of the patient.
Dr. Çiğdem's practice maintains an active presence on social media, including an Instagram account under the handle beratcigdem.md, where aspects of his work and clinical life are shared. This visibility gives prospective patients a window into his approach.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering surgical rejuvenation, Dr. Berat Çiğdem represents one of many experienced options within Istanbul's dense surgical landscape. His combination of board certification, focused specialization, and a philosophy of natural results defines his professional identity.
Every patient journey with Dr. Çiğdem begins with conversation — an unhurried assessment of goals, anatomy, and expectations that shapes each personalized surgical plan.

Meine Erfahrung mit Dr. Oyur war einfach unglaublich. Er wusste sofort was mein Problem war und hat mir alles in Ruhe sehr professionell erklärt. Er hat unglaublich viel Erfahrung und Können auf dem Gebiet der plastischen Chirurgie. Ein übergrosses Schläffenserom hat er als einziger Arzt weit und breit richtig behandelt, mit Drainage anstatt nur Antibiotika und auch das Ergebnis der Six Pack OP ist sensationell. Preis-Leistung Top kann Dr Oyur in Istanbul nur weiterempfehlen.

Dr. Çiğdem's Surgical Approach
Dr. Berat Çiğdem approaches the deep plane facelift as a foundational procedure that works well beneath the skin's surface.
Dr. Berat Çiğdem approaches the deep plane facelift as a foundational procedure that works well beneath the skin's surface. Rather than pulling skin taut, his technique targets the deeper structures of the face where the true signs of aging originate.
Central to this method is the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that supports the cheeks and jawline. In the deep plane technique, this layer is released and repositioned as a single unit along with the overlying skin.
