Excellent Experience with Dr. Cetinkaya

WORTH IT
One month ago, Oct 8 and 9, 2025 my wife and I both had face lifts performed by Dr. Ali Cetinkaya. I had a deep plane face and deep neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, direct brow lift and fat grafting. My wife had a deep plane face lift, deep neck lift, lower blepharoplasty, gliding brow lift, fat transfer and stem cell. Regarding the actual surgery and our results one month later, both of us are very pleased. Dr Ali is an excellent surgeon with wonderful personable manners.
I am choosing to focus on the completely turnkey nature of his service and team of professionals working with him because it was not something I saw in other reviews and is important.
From arriving to Istanbul International airport and meeting our ride, to being dropped off at the airport on departure day, we were never once left for wanting. Literally, every and all aspects of this journey from arrival to departure were handled by his great team of professionals. Our initial contact with his coordinator Ecem, was very positive. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and setting up our video conference with Dr. Ali over the course of several weeks of text and audio dialogue via WhatsApp. Dr. Ali's office activities were seamlessly managed by Gizem. She was on top of every logistical question asked and service provided. Our post operative care was beautifully managed by Nurse Ali, who visited with us each day at the hospital and at Antwell medical hotel, changing dressings, assessing progress and answering questions. He was gentle, polite and detailed the entire time. Another person was Simi who handled a variety of medical and non-medical tasks who was a wonderful and kind empathetic man. Dr. Ali’s operating room Nurse, who I met when she removed our stitches, was a top end medical professional. She has a 4-letter name I cannot remember. His videographer was also a good man who pitched in of his own initiative, outside of his videographer duties. What made this journey memorable was how each of them integrated so well as a team. Their teamwork and mutual respect were apparent from day one.
The private hospital from which Dr. Ali performs surgery was modern, clean and well-staffed. The floor Nurses English was just so-so, but Google Translate when needed, made this a non-issue.
Antwell medical hotel is a modern, clean and well-staffed facility with daily housekeeping. Their restaurant food is good. Breakfast was our favorite with many selections. Go to the top floor where there is a great view, a pool table and coffee bar or downstairs on the ground floor where there’s a pastry/coffee shop. The 4th floor has a relaxing living room type of seating area. There’s also a tasty Kabob restaurant at the top of the hill from Antwell and an impressive north American style mall about a 12-minute walk downhill from Antwell that’s loaded with quality restaurants.
I hope this helps with your decision-making process. We couldn’t be happier that Dr. Ali and his superb team of professionals were our choice. They were all terrific.
