A deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. Dr. Hacı applies this method to address sagging in the midface, jawline, and neck, aiming for natural-looking results that respect each patient's underlying anatomy.
Dr. Cemal Hacı trained in Ear, Nose and Throat and Head and Neck Surgery at Haseki Training and Research Hospital between 2011 and 2016. This surgical grounding informs his understanding of the facial nerve pathways and tissue planes central to deep plane work.
His clinical interests span both rhinoplasty and facial aesthetic surgery. Alongside the deep plane facelift, Dr. Hacı offers procedures including neck lift, platysmaplasty, blepharoplasty, and a variety of nose reshaping operations.
Dr. Cemal Hacı describes his aesthetic philosophy as prioritizing harmony with each patient's face. His stated goal is results that appear natural and enhance confidence rather than dramatically altering a patient's identity.
The deep plane facelift sits at the more advanced end of facial rejuvenation surgery. It differs from traditional skin-only lifts by releasing and repositioning the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of tissue and muscle beneath the skin) as a single unit.
Dr. Hacı's practice is located in Istanbul, a city widely recognized as a meeting point between European and Middle Eastern medical tourism. This positioning gives international patients access to established surgical facilities within a well-developed care infrastructure.
Recovery is a subject Dr. Cemal Hacı addresses directly with prospective patients. A deep plane facelift typically involves a healing arc measured in weeks for visible swelling and months for the settling of final results.
Dr. Hacı holds affiliations that reflect his focus on facial and head-and-neck surgery. His memberships connect him to professional communities in both facial plastic surgery and broader head and neck care.
Beyond the facelift, Dr. Cemal Hacı maintains a strong emphasis on rhinoplasty, including ethnic rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and septorhinoplasty. His dual focus on the nose and the aging face reflects a comprehensive interest in facial proportion.
Dr. Hacı also performs facial feminization procedures, including tracheal shave and forehead contouring. This expands his practice to patients seeking gender-affirming facial surgery within a specialized surgical setting.
Patient care at Dr. Cemal Hacı's practice extends beyond the operating room. His approach emphasizes attentive follow-up and coordinated support throughout the surgical journey, from consultation through the recovery period.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Hacı represents one option within Istanbul's competitive surgical landscape. His combination of ENT training and aesthetic focus offers a particular perspective on deep plane techniques.

What recent patients say
4.5 / 5 · 71 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 by working beneath the skin at the level of the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that supports the muscles and soft tissue of the face.
Dr. Cemal Hacı approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin at the level of the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that supports the muscles and soft tissue of the face. Rather than pulling the skin taut, this technique lifts and repositions the deeper structures.
The deep plane method involves what surgeons call sub-SMAS dissection — releasing the tissue below this supportive layer so it can be moved as a cohesive unit. This distinguishes the procedure from older approaches that tightened only the surface.
