Between 2011 and 2016, Dr. Hacı trained in the Ear, Nose, Throat and Head and Neck Surgery clinic at Haseki Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul. This head-and-neck surgical grounding informs his approach to facial rejuvenation today.
Deep plane facelift surgery sits at the center of Dr. Hacı's aesthetic practice. This technique works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face) to reposition sagging tissue rather than simply tightening the skin.
Dr. Hacı focuses on natural-looking results that stay in harmony with each patient's features. His clinical philosophy — reflected on his own practice materials — emphasizes outcomes that restore confidence while keeping the face recognizably the patient's own.
Beyond the deep plane facelift, Dr. Cemal Hacı offers extended deep plane facelift, mini deep plane facelift, and revision facelift procedures. His surgical menu also includes neck lift, platysmaplasty, and SMAS facelift techniques for patients addressing different stages of facial aging.
Rhinoplasty is a second major pillar of his practice. Dr. Hacı performs primary rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and septorhinoplasty — reflecting the functional and aesthetic nose expertise that stems from his ENT training.
His work with the eyes and brow is equally detailed. Dr. Hacı offers upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), canthoplasty, and brow lift procedures that complement facial rejuvenation by refreshing the upper third of the face.
Dr. Cemal Hacı also addresses facial structure and contour. His procedures include fat transfer to the face, cheek augmentation, buccal fat removal, chin implant placement, genioplasty, and jawline contouring for patients seeking definition.
Additional offerings include submental liposuction, forehead contouring, temporal lift, and ponytail lift — a family of techniques aimed at lifting and refining the midface and neck with discreet incisions.
Dr. Hacı is also listed as offering facial feminization surgery (FFS) and tracheal shave procedures, extending his facial surgery expertise to patients with a wider range of aesthetic goals.
Recovery is a subject Dr. Hacı discusses candidly with his patients. A deep plane facelift typically involves noticeable swelling and bruising in the first two weeks, followed by a gradual return to daily life over the following month.
Dr. Cemal Hacı holds membership in HNCS and EAFPS (the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery), professional bodies associated with head-and-neck and facial plastic surgery standards.
Istanbul, where Dr. Hacı practices, is one of the world's most active centers for facial aesthetic surgery — a city that blends European and Asian influences and draws patients from across many countries.
For affluent patients researching their options carefully, Dr. Cemal Hacı represents an Istanbul-based surgeon whose ENT foundation, facial aesthetic focus, and 13-plus years of experience combine in a single practice devoted to natural facial rejuvenation.
What recent patients say
4.7 / 5 · 69 Google reviewsEverything was absolutely wonderful! The medical follow-up was excellent, and the entire team was very caring and professional.
I would like to thank Professor Cemal and his team very much. They were very attentive before and after the operation. Everything went well. I am very pleased and I thank them again for everything.
I'm so happy I had the surgery on my first appointment, I'm so glad I trusted you, doctor, you're amazing 🙏🙏
About two years ago, I had rhinoplasty surgery with Dr. Cemal. Besides the aesthetic improvements, I also suffered from nasal congestion due to allergies, difficulty breathing, and frequent illnesses. My quality of life changed after the surgery. For almost two years now, I've been breathing so well that I haven't even gotten sick, I sleep comfortably, and my allergy symptoms have significantly decreased. My doctor's attentiveness and continued accessibility after the surgery reduced stress during the recovery process, ensuring a healthy healing period. I recommend that anyone with similar problems at least get an examination from Dr. Cemal; I believe they will understand what I mean once they meet him.

Dr. Hacı's Surgical Approach
Dr. Cemal Hacı approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin's surface rather than at it.
Dr. Cemal Hacı approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin's surface rather than at it. The technique targets the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and fibrous tissue that sits between the skin and the deeper facial structures.
In a deep plane facelift (also called a deep plane rhytidectomy, the medical term for a facelift), the surgeon releases and repositions this deeper layer as a unified unit. This is what distinguishes the deep plane method from older techniques that pull only on the skin.

Surgical Philosophy
"The surgeon strives for "doğal görünümlü sonuçlar" (natural-looking results) that are "yüzünüzle uyumlu" (compatible with your face) and aim to "özgüveninizi arttıracak" (increase your self-confidence). A critical aspect in facial aesthetic operations is paying close attention to "yüzün oranlarıdır" (the proportions of the face)."
