I was born in Istanbul in 1986 and went to high-school in American Robert College. Graduated from Istanbul University Medical Faculty in 2010. Following medical school I did 5 years of Otorhinolaryngology residency and became European Fellow of Otolaryngology in 2015. Since residency I had a special focus on Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. I was chosen as the funded fellow of European Facial Plastic Academy and had the privilege of working with pioneers of Facial Plastic Surgery in USA and Europe with a focus on Rhinoplasty, Revision Rhinoplasty, Facial Rejuvenation and Facial Paralysis Surgery. In 2019 I took European Board Certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. I have numerous publications on JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery Journal, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal and Aesthetic Surgery Journal all sharing the ultimate goal of getting better clinical results. I am married and I have a son.
My philosophy
1- Facial and nasal aesthetics are my primary professional interests. It is my priority not to be embarrassed to my patients who trust me.
2- I aim for a natural and non-surgical appearance. My goal: Those who don't know you don't understand. Of course, those around you should notice the positive contribution of the process, but people who have just met you should perceive it as a part of your natural facial beauty.
3- My top priority before and after the surgery is to remain genuine, honest and realistic. If I can make you happy by making a really nice benefit and difference, I should do my best in your surgery. However, if you do not need surgery, if the surgery is early for you, if you do not benefit from the surgery, I must say that you are not a suitable candidate for surgery. I am making the utmost effort for this.
4- I try to stay realistic. I'm trying not to make empty promises. I feel responsible to tell you what to expect from a surgery in terms of your expectations and risks in a realistic way, with its good and bad sides. I attach importance to having a realistic perception and expectation about the surgery.
5- I pay attention to be as attentive as possible to your wishes and concerns before, during and after surgery. I care about being able to contact me directly whenever you need it.
