His surgical focus includes the deep plane facelift, a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach has become associated with longer-lasting, more natural rejuvenation of the aging face.
Dr. Sinaci completed his medical education at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, one of Turkey's established academic institutions. His training path led toward specialization in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.
He holds membership in the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), a global professional body that connects aesthetic surgeons across more than 100 countries. Such memberships reflect ongoing engagement with international standards of practice.
At the Dr. Cem Berkay Sinaci Clinic in Istanbul, his work spans several areas of the face and body. These include facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), browlift, rhinoplasty, breast aesthetics, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).
His approach to facial aging emphasizes the underlying structure of the face. Rather than pulling the skin tight, deep plane techniques work beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue), allowing the face to settle into a softer, more youthful position.
Dr. Sinaci describes himself as a surgeon trusted by patients from both Turkey and abroad. His clinic markets itself as international-patient friendly, offering services in English and Turkish for those traveling from other countries.
Istanbul provides a fitting backdrop for this kind of practice. The city sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, a longstanding medical and cultural hub where Eastern hospitality meets Western surgical training.
Beyond the facelift, his facial work includes CO₂ laser skin resurfacing, a treatment that addresses surface texture, fine lines, and sun damage. This can complement surgical rejuvenation for patients seeking a comprehensive facial refresh.
Recovery is a central part of the deep plane facelift conversation. Because the technique works at a deeper tissue level, patients are guided through a structured healing timeline, with swelling and bruising resolving over the initial weeks and final results emerging over several months.
His rhinoplasty practice complements the facial aesthetic focus, addressing both the appearance and function of the nose. Facial harmony often involves considering multiple features together rather than in isolation.
Dr. Sinaci's body work, including abdominoplasty and breast aesthetics, rounds out a full-service aesthetic practice. This breadth allows patients to consult with a single surgeon across multiple concerns.
The clinic maintains a visible presence for prospective patients researching their options, including a before-and-after gallery and an Instagram account under the handle @doctorcbs. These resources help patients understand a surgeon's aesthetic sensibility before booking.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Cem Berkay Sinaci represents an option within Istanbul's competitive aesthetic surgery landscape — a surgeon with formal European and Turkish board credentials, more than a decade of experience, and a stated commitment to natural-looking outcomes.
What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 207 Google reviewsI would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Cem and his team for the exceptional care I received during my surgery in Turkey this past January. Every aspect of the experience was managed with remarkable professionalism, attentiveness, and organization, which made me feel well cared for from the very beginning. Ozlem was outstanding throughout the entire process. She was thorough, attentive, and consistently responsive, ensuring that I was never left uncertain about what to expect. I was always given clear guidance regarding where I needed to be, when things would take place, and how each part of the process would unfold. That level of communication and support was invaluable. The hotel accommodations were also excellent. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, which made our stay all the more enjoyable and contributed positively to the overall experience. I am now three months post-operative after an upper blepharoplasty, a cheek lift (oka DPVL), and a lip lift, and I could not be more pleased with how beautifully everything has healed. The result is exactly what I had hoped for: I look like a fresher, more youthful version of myself, not like a different person. That balance is incredibly important, and Dr. Cem achieved it beautifully. He is also a gifted communicator who takes the time to understand his patients’ goals with great care. It is clear that he combines technical precision with a genuine artistic eye, and that combination is reflected in the natural, elegant result he delivers. Equally important to me was his honesty regarding recovery. He never overstated or romanticized the healing process, and everything progressed exactly as he had explained. That honesty gave me enormous confidence and made the entire experience feel grounded, trustworthy, and reassuring. I am truly grateful to Dr. Cem, Ozlem, and the entire team for the wonderful care I received and for making what could have felt overwhelming instead feel smooth, thoughtful, and exceptionally well managed. I am very glad I found Dr. Cem, and I confident know without hesitation, who I would return to should I ever decide to have a neck lift in the future. Thank you!
Great experience throughout, definitely recommend Dr. Cem and his team. I researched several doctors prior to deciding on Dr. Cem, and am so happy with my decision. From my initial contact with Dr. Cem's assistant, Simge, the whole process was super smooth. Simge coordinated everything (transportation, hotel, all follow-up appointments). Traveling to another country for surgery is stressful in itself but Simge made it a lot less stressful. Her calming and sweet manner was much appreciated. Simge was always there to help. There were times I reached out to her in the middle of the night, she was always available. I can't stress enough, just what a huge help she was. I was impressed with Dr. Cem's work prior to meeting him but after meeting him, I had even more confidence in him. After asking exactly what I was looking to achieve, Dr. Cem explained my options and surgery was scheduled for the next day. As a healthcare worker myself, I was extremely impressed with the hospital and overall care I received in the hospital. The hospital was new, modern and immaculate. Nurses were attentive, helpful and compassionate. We stayed at Antwell Hotel while recovering. The hotel specifically caters to people "post procedures", so no stress walking around bruised and bandaged. It was so comforting not having to hide or feel self conscious. I am just over 2 weeks post op and continue to heal but can already see that I will be very happy with my results. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Cem and his team to anyone looking to have cosmetic work done. Thank you Dr. Cem and Singe!!!
I’ll start by saying that I’ve never had any work done on my face so this was a scary move for me to make but my double chin is inherited and therefore has bothered me for 20 years. I did a year of research and kept procrastinating because I was scared of landing on a butcher of a doctor. I went to real self and all I saw was 5 stars for Doctor Cem Berkay. I read his reviews and was immediately put at ease. Clinic location – It’s very close to public transportation. The clinic is immaculate and spacious. Very nicely decorated, I felt right at home. Its very cozy and inviting unlike many clinics which have a hospital vibe. Arrival – I was greeted by the lovely Simge. The lady I had corresponded with for weeks. The one responsible for my final decision to book this clinic. Simge is just a very lovely human being inside out. She’s extremely attentive and very professional. She was responding to my queries whatever time, day or night. Gave clear instructions & offered assistance whenever I needed it. When I met her, I wasn’t surprised because she was even more lovely in person than on text. I felt like I was talking to my small sister 😊. If I could I would put her in my suitcase and bring her home to Dubai 😃 I also met her colleague, Ozlem who did a fantastic job with checking up on me with her big smile. Ever so friendly and sweet. What a lovely team Dr Cem has. Exceptional ladies with an exceptional boss. Dr Cem – I bumped into him in at a café before my appointment and quickly recognized him. He’s super kind, friendly, gentle. At the clinic he gave me the chance to ask as many questions as I wanted and I knew I was in very safe hands. He also educated me on the process. Dr Cem’s rates are also very reasonable, he’s also not interested in selling you the most expensive and unnecessary procedures like many doctors do. He lets you know your expectations and is very honest. I had a double chin and laser Endolift and in two days I was back to my normal self with very little pain. Just normal bruising and swelling but that’s expected. He did a fantastic job, because even with my swelling, I still saw the difference and cant wait for the final result For a doctor to be that involved as the body and soul of the clinic shows his passion for making a difference in people’s lives. He has raised the clinics standards to greater levels as he sets the bar high for himself and others and I’m sure everyone who meets him will comprehend why and appreciate his efforts. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for making my experience memorable. This was the first visit and definitely not the last! I wholeheartedly recommend this doctor and his staff. His ratings are very well justified on every level!! I could give 100 stars if I could! 1,000% recommended, trust me he’s the BEST!!!
want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Cem Berkay Sinaci. Before I met him, I spent a long time searching for a doctor. I wanted a true specialist for the face and was very anxious about making the wrong choice. Fortunately, I was incredibly lucky. I met exactly the kind of doctor I had hoped for—an exceptional professional and, most importantly, a wonderful human being. He truly understands a patient’s fears and concerns. He patiently answered all of my questions and never left me without guidance. He constantly reassured me that this procedure requires time and patience. He is a true magician of plastic surgery—his hands perform miracles. Despite being so young, he is an outstanding professional. I also want to express my heartfelt thanks to his assistant, Ozel, who is attentive, caring, and absolutely lovely. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Doctor Cem. You are the best among of the best!!! highly recommend him and his clinic.With the greatest respect. Maka USA

Dr. Sınacı's Surgical Approach
The deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Cem Berkay Sinaci focuses on repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face rather than tightening skin alone.
The deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Cem Berkay Sinaci focuses on repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face rather than tightening skin alone. This distinguishes it from older facelift methods that could leave a pulled or tight appearance.
Central to the technique is the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system) — a layer of muscle and fibrous tissue beneath the skin that supports the cheeks, jawline, and midface. As this layer descends with facial aging, the face loses its youthful contour.
