"When the Healer Needs Healing": A Healthcare Professional's Quest for the Perfect Surgeon
When Iwona, a Polish-Canadian nurse with over two decades of healthcare experience, began researching facial rejuvenation specialists, she approached the process with both personal hope and professional scrutiny. As a healthcare professional herself, she understood the importance of choosing a surgeon with the right credentials, experience, and proven track record of successful outcomes.
"After my first rhinoplasty fifteen years ago, I was left with significant nasal asymmetry and breathing difficulties," Iwona recalls. "As a nurse, I knew exactly what could go wrong with surgery, which made me extremely careful in choosing my surgeon this time. When I also began noticing signs of facial aging, I wanted to find someone who could address both concerns with expertise and precision."
Expert Meets Expert: A Medical Professional's Choice
Her medical background gave her a unique perspective in evaluating potential surgeons. After extensive research and review of surgical techniques, board certifications, and patient outcomes, her search led her to Dr. Cem Berkay Sinaci (Dr. CBS) in Istanbul. His European Board Certification, comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, and expertise in revision rhinoplasty aligned with her exacting standards.
"As a healthcare professional, I was particularly impressed by Dr. CBS's detailed explanation of the surgical techniques and potential outcomes," Iwona explains. "His transparent approach and willingness to address all my technical questions gave me confidence in his expertise."
Phase One: The Art of Facial Rejuvenation Through Deep Plane Technique
In December 2023, Iwona underwent a combined deep plane facelift and neck lift procedure. "Dr. CBS explained that the deep plane technique would provide the most natural-looking results by addressing multiple layers of facial tissue," she explains. "As a nurse, I appreciated understanding the anatomical aspects of the procedure and how this technique differs from traditional approaches."
The procedure successfully restored youthful contours to her face and neck, creating a harmonious and refreshed appearance without looking overdone. Her medical training helped her navigate the recovery process with patience and understanding.
Phase Two: Mastering the Complex Art of Revision Rhinoplasty
Encouraged by her facial rejuvenation results, Iwona returned to Istanbul in December 2024 for revision rhinoplasty. "My previous rhinoplasty had left me with both aesthetic and functional concerns - a visibly crooked nose and significant breathing difficulties," she shares. Dr. CBS performed a complex revision rhinoplasty and upper blepharoplasty focusing on both structural correction and aesthetic refinement.

"The transformation has been remarkable," Iwona enthuses. "As a healthcare professional, I can appreciate not only the aesthetic improvements but also the technical excellence of the surgical outcomes. I can breathe properly for the first time in years, and my nose finally looks natural and balanced with my other facial features. Combined with my rejuvenated face and neck, I feel like I've gained back years of confidence."
The Science Behind the Success: A Methodical Approach to Transformation
The comprehensive approach to Iwona's facial transformation showcases Dr. CBS's expertise in both primary and revision procedures. By staging the surgeries appropriately, each concern received focused attention, resulting in optimal healing and results.
"What impressed me most was Dr. CBS's attention to detail and his understanding of facial harmony," Iwona reflects. "From a medical perspective, I could see how meticulously he planned each procedure to work together for the most natural-looking result."
