Upper Face Enhancement Surgery
Many people seek improvement in their brow position and eye corner appearance.
Aging often affects the lateral brow area and outer eye corners first, creating a tired or aged appearance. Temporal lift addresses these concerns through minimal incisions hidden within the hairline, offering natural elevation of multiple facial areas.

What is Temporal Lift Surgery?
Temporal lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the outer portion of the eyebrows, corner of the eyes, and upper cheeks through small incisions concealed within the temple hair. Using an oblique lifting vector, this technique creates natural improvement in multiple areas while avoiding visible scars. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and can be performed under local anesthesia. Temporal lift is also one of the midface lift and cheek lift techniques.

Dr. CBS shares insights on temporal lift surgery, focusing on natural results and minimal recovery.
Temporal lift offers significant improvement through minimal intervention. Using carefully placed incisions within the hairline, we can achieve natural elevation of the outer brows, eye corners, and upper cheeks. It's important to understand that some temporary skin irregularities are normal during the first few weeks of healing. These resolve naturally as tissues settle, revealing the final, refreshed result. The procedure's strength lies in its ability to create noticeable improvement while maintaining natural-looking results.

I 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!

Happy Golucky
I had a submentoplasty with Dr Cem Berkay three weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier with my experience and results. The procedure was performed in an office setting under local anaesthetic, which made the whole process much calmer and more comfortable than I expected. Dr Berkay did an incredible job—the surgery was flawless, and even with some minor swelling still present, the results are already unbelievable. His assistant, Ozlem, was wonderful from the very beginning—always kind, courteous, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Nurse Volkan was also fantastic, providing reassurance and support during the procedure and making me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend Dr Cem Berkay and his team to anyone considering this procedure. Their professionalism, care, and attention to detail have been exceptional. I could not be happier with the outcome.

Amazing! He's a doctor with a very high level of knowledge, a great aesthetic sense and skill, and truly attentive to his work 👏 A doctor who can perform such complex surgeries with such composure and professionalism must be very confident. It's a friendly environment where you can also stop by for coffee. He's a legend! I suggest you catch him before he becomes even more unattainable. Thank you, dear Cem Berkay Sınacı 🙏🏻

Gülşah Başandaç
I had a great experience with Dr Cem Berkay Sinaci and his team. He was very attentive to what kind of result I wanted, and also offered his best advice from his experience which I appreciated. I am now 6 months post op, and am super happy with my results. I have had 0 problems but I know I can always reach out to the team if a question or concern did arise. I would definitely recommend Dr Cem Berkay Sinaci clinic for your future surgery

Ieva Svara
Dr. Cem has been a dear friend of mine for almost 20 years, and I didn't hesitate for a second to choose him for my rhinoplasty and midface lift through lower blepharoplasty. Having witnessed his exceptional work over the years, I knew I was in good hands. As expected, the entire process was smooth and seamless. It's been a month now, and while I still have some edema, it's well within the normal range. Remarkably, I had no bruising after just one week. I always believed Dr. Cem's patients were fortunate, and now I am proud to count myself among them. Thank you, Dr. Cem, for everything. P.S. My mother also had an upper blepharoplasty with him a few months ago. She too is immensely grateful and says he is an excellent surgeon.

Serkan Haslak
Dr. Cem is such a caring and professional doctor that I realized this during my first operation, after visiting countless doctors and coming to him through Dr. Nuray's recommendation. My family trusted him as much as I did, and he never let us down. I definitely recommend him. He is absolutely the best doctor you can go to in his field :)
