The Surgeon
Kadri Akinci
Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon
Board-certified plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon practising in Istanbul.
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.
Biography
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.

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