Philosophy

The objective is not transformation. It is harmony.

The objective is not transformation. It is harmony.

Every face carries its own logic — a set of proportions, angles and asymmetries that make it recognisable. The purpose of surgery is not to overwrite that logic, but to resolve what disrupts it. Refinement respects the structure that is already there.

Dr. Kadri Akinci, Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon

01 / The Surgeon

Kadri Akinci

Kadri Akinci

Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon

Board-certified by the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, with training in facial aesthetics, rhinoplasty, breast and body contouring surgery.

Practising in Istanbul, Dr. Kadri Akinci approaches aesthetic surgery as a problem of proportion before it is a problem of technique. Each plan begins with an assessment of individual anatomy and what the patient actually wants to change.

About Dr. Kadri→

02 / Surgical Approach

Precision is technical. Refinement is personal.

Precision is technical. Refinement is personal.

Technique can be taught and measured. Judgement — knowing how much to change, and when to stop — is what separates a competent result from a considered one.

01
Individual Planning
No two anatomies are the same, so no two operative plans should be. Planning begins with your proportions, not a standard template.
02
Anatomy-Led Approach
Structure dictates what is achievable. Understanding the underlying anatomy determines the technique, not the other way around.
03
Surgical Precision
Considered, methodical operative technique — the difference between a result that reads as surgical and one that does not.
04
Natural Proportion
The aim is a result that sits in balance with the rest of your features and remains recognisably you.
05
Continuity of Care
The same surgeon through consultation, procedure and follow-up, with structured aftercare for international patients.

Areas of Practice

Areas of Practice

Surgical and non-surgical procedures, organised by anatomical area.

04 / Facial Surgery

Considered in detail

Rhinoplasty
01

Rhinoplasty

Balance begins with proportion. The nose is assessed in relation to the whole face, not in isolation.

Facelift
02

Facelift

Restore structure while respecting expression. Movement and character are preserved.

Blepharoplasty
03

Blepharoplasty

Refinement in the details. Small corrections around the eye change how rested a face reads.

Neck Lift
04

Neck Lift

Definition through structural balance, restoring the line between jaw and neck.
