Dr. Şenyuva is recognized for his expertise in deep plane facelift techniques, which form a cornerstone of his comprehensive facial rejuvenation practice. This advanced surgical method goes beyond superficial skin tightening, focusing instead on repositioning the deeper SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer of facial tissues. His approach involves meticulous facial analysis and customized surgical planning for each patient, ensuring that the underlying facial structures are addressed.

He began his plastic surgery residency at Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 1986, becoming a specialist in 1992. He later earned the title of Associate Professor in 1997 and taught within the same clinic through 2000.
In 2007, Dr. Şenyuva became a Professor of Plastic Surgery at Düzce University Medical Faculty, where he served as head of the Plastic Surgery Department until 2011. This academic path reflects a long commitment to teaching and clinical training.
Dr. Şenyuva is listed as a member of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TSPRAS), one of the country's principal professional bodies for the specialty.
His clinical interests center on facial rejuvenation, a field that addresses the natural signs of facial aging such as descending cheeks, jowls, and loosened neck tissue. The deep plane facelift is one of the more advanced techniques used to address these changes.
A deep plane facelift repositions the deeper facial layers rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach targets the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive sheet of tissue beneath the skin) to restore a natural, lifted contour.
Dr. Şenyuva's broader surgical portfolio also includes rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), eyelid aesthetics, breast surgery, and body contouring. This range reflects a comprehensive aesthetic practice built over many years.
He is recognized as a clinical trainer in ultrasonic VASER liposuction, and reports having trained more than thirty international plastic surgeons in this technique. This teaching role speaks to his standing within the wider surgical community.

His approach to facial rejuvenation reflects an emphasis on natural-looking results — softening the visible effects of aging while preserving each patient's individual features. This philosophy aligns with modern deep plane techniques.
Recovery is an integral part of any facelift journey, and Dr. Şenyuva's long experience allows him to guide patients through the healing process with realistic expectations. Most facelift recovery follows a predictable timeline over several weeks and months.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Şenyuva offers a combination of academic background, decades of clinical work, and a focus on the deep plane technique. His practice welcomes those seeking careful, individualized consultation.

What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 4 Google reviewsHe is one of those rare doctors who beautifies everything he touches... He happens to be the best plastic surgeon in the world...
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Professor Dr. Cemal Tahsin Şenyuva. He is an extremely kind doctor, attentive to his patients, and has excellent communication skills. I had a persistent wound on my face. It was completely resolved with a flawless operation, and I am very pleased. He is the only doctor I would choose again if I had another problem. - MELIHA SURGIT
Honestly, I don't understand why no one has commented on such a famous doctor all this time. I had a nose operation with him in 2010. I wanted the tip to look natural, not upturned. To this day, no one who sees me has noticed I had surgery, and most importantly, I think he put in platinum, so the tip of my nose hasn't drooped despite so many head blows (by my child). For this reason, I will only go to him for my repeated aesthetic needs. He's a top-notch doctor. Everyone I've referred to him has been satisfied. 🖤🖤

Dr. Şenyuva's Surgical Approach
Dr. Cemal Şenyuva approaches the deep plane facelift as a technique that works beneath the skin surface, repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than pulling the skin tight.
Dr. Cemal Şenyuva approaches the deep plane facelift as a technique that works beneath the skin surface, repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than pulling the skin tight. This distinction matters greatly for the naturalness and durability of the result.
The deep plane facelift centers on the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue that sits between the skin and the deeper facial structures. As we age, this layer loosens and descends.
