Signature technique

Dr. Cem Payaslı's practice is centered around the deep plane facelift, which he views as a highly sophisticated approach to comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This technique is distinguished by its ability to address the signs of aging at multiple tissue levels, going beyond simple skin tightening. His method involves meticulously releasing and repositioning the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer, along with other deeper facial structures. Dr. Payaslı emphasizes that this comprehensive tissue repositioning is crucial for achieving more natural-looking and long-lasting results when compared to more traditional facelift techniques, offering patients a profound and enduring transformation.

About

Ten years of surgical practice in Istanbul's competitive aesthetic field define the career of Dr. Cem Payaslı, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon focused on facial rejuvenation and deep plane facelift techniques. As of July 2026, he practices from his clinic in the Caddebostan district of Kadıköy, on the Asian side of the city.

Dr. Cem Payaslı is a plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgeon based in Istanbul, Turkey, who specializes in deep plane facelift surgery and comprehensive facial rejuvenation. His practice combines facial and body aesthetic procedures under one roof.

Read more

His medical foundation was built at Ankara Gazi University School of Medicine, a well-established Turkish institution. This training grounded his understanding of both the reconstructive and aesthetic dimensions of surgery.

Dr. Payaslı describes a lifelong fascination with human form, drawn to both its medical and artistic aspects from an early age. That dual curiosity — anatomy and aesthetics — shaped his path into plastic surgery.

The deep plane facelift is the technique that anchors his facial work. Unlike older methods that simply tightened skin, this approach repositions the deeper structural layers of the face for results that read as natural rather than pulled.

At the heart of the deep plane technique sits the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of tissue beneath the skin). Working within this layer allows a surgeon to lift and reposition sagging tissue at its true structural source.

Dr. Payaslı's clinical menu extends well beyond the face. His listed procedures include neck lift, eyelid surgery, fat transfer, liposuction, and body contouring, reflecting a broad aesthetic practice.

Facial aging is a layered process involving skin, fat, muscle, and bone — and Dr. Payaslı's approach acknowledges that no single treatment addresses every dimension. This is why the deep plane method appeals to patients seeking structural, lasting change.

He holds membership in TSPRAS, the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. This professional affiliation reflects engagement with the national body governing his specialty.

Recovery is a central conversation in any facelift decision, and Dr. Payaslı's consultations address realistic timelines. Deep plane recovery typically unfolds over several weeks of visible healing followed by months of gradual refinement.

Istanbul itself is a natural setting for this work. The city functions as a genuine East-meets-West medical hub, where European and Asian influences meet across the Bosphorus.

His clinic sits on Bağdat Caddesi, one of Istanbul's most fashionable shopping avenues, in an area known for its upscale character. The location places his practice within a refined, accessible part of the city.

Dr. Payaslı has also engaged with Turkish media, appearing on television programs to discuss aesthetic surgery and answer common patient questions. This public presence reflects an interest in patient education.

His stated philosophy centers on individualized planning rather than a single formula applied to every face. Each patient's anatomy, goals, and expectations shape the surgical plan.

For women considering facial rejuvenation in Istanbul, Dr. Cem Payaslı represents one of many experienced surgeons in a large and competitive market. Prospective patients are encouraged to research thoroughly, review credentials, and pursue a personal consultation before deciding.

Dr. Payaslı's Surgical Approach

Dr. Cem Payaslı approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a simple skin-tightening operation.

Dr. Cem Payaslı approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a simple skin-tightening operation. The technique addresses facial aging at the level where it originates — the deeper supportive tissues — rather than only at the surface.

The foundation of this method is work within the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous layer of tissue that sits between the skin and the deeper facial muscles). In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon releases and repositions this layer rather than merely pulling it tight.

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10.
