What recent patients say
4.8 / 5 · 58 Google reviewsAfter months of research, I chose Dr Amine Demire, and I’m really glad I did. I loved her signature vertical lift technique as it gives a very natural, youthful look. She is very down to earth and pleasant, and really takes the time to listen to what you have to say, which made me feel comfortable and understood. I had a virtual consultation where we discussed what I wanted. Before the surgery, I was in contact with her assistant Emme, who was very helpful and organised everything smoothly. When I arrived, I met Noor, her second assistant, who took me through all the pre-op tests and admission. Noor stayed with me throughout the surgery and continued checking on me regularly afterwards, which I really appreciated. She was supportive the whole time until I left the country. The surgery went very smoothly. Healing did take time, and I did get a bit impatient waiting for the swelling to go down, but every time I contacted them, they responded and reassured me. I am absolutely thrilled with my results — it’s like magic. A huge thank you to Dr Demire, Emme, and Noor for their care, support, and professionalism throughout this journey.
An absolutely beautiful experience❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The result is already excellent, beyond what I was hoping for… and I am only at day 22, knowing that the final result, even more natural, is not yet fully settled. But beyond the result, it is above all the human experience that deeply touched me. Dr. Emine, as well as Nur and Ece, showed exceptional kindness. I was truly moved by their attentiveness, their presence, and their dedication. They went far beyond their role, always being there in the right moments, even in more sensitive times, with the right words and the right actions. I felt supported from beginning to end. They even took the time to come to my hotel — a level of care that is rare and truly precious. This experience reminded me that there are still very good people in this world, deeply human, who truly love what they do. I thank Dr. Emine and her entire team from the bottom of my heart for everything they have done for me. I recommend them 1000%, with my eyes closed — and I truly mean every word I say. A human and surgical experience that is simply exceptional. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Ms. Emine and her wonderful team. I was very fortunate to meet a team that listened to my needs. Their interest never waned, from the beginning of the process, throughout its duration, and even months after its completion; they always stood by their work. If I were to describe this team in three words, I would say talent, experience, and dedication.
I did extensive research before choosing Dr. Demir. She did a great job of explaining what she would do during surgery. This gave me great confidence and is the main reason I chose her. The procedure was done very professionally and with great care and consideration for my well being. Her staff and Anesthesiologist were amazing. Her assistant Nora was very helpful and always available. I appreciate all they did for me. I recommend them highly.

Assoc. Prof. Demir's Surgical Approach
Assoc. Prof.
Assoc. Prof. Emine Demir approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer to reposition the deeper structures of the face. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that sits between the skin and the deeper facial tissues, and it plays a central role in how the face ages.
In a deep plane rhytidectomy (the medical term for a facelift), the surgeon releases the ligaments that anchor this layer to the underlying bone and muscle. This sub-SMAS dissection allows the skin and the deeper tissue to be lifted together as a single unit.
