02 / Training & international experience

Training and career.

Born in 1970 in Çankırı. Medical degree at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, then specialty training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital. His page also describes six months in Virginia, United States, in 1997. He then worked at Kartal Training and Research Hospital (his page also uses the name Dr. Lütfi Kırdar for the same posts), was appointed to lead the plastic surgery clinic at Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital in 2010, and joined Medipol University in 2013. His own page states he became associate professor in 2005 and professor in 2013. We could not check these against YÖK Akademik (the search page could not be read), so the page shows Dr.

His own page says he has seen patients in his own office in Ataşehir since January 2016. It does not name a hospital where he operates.

Before you commit, ask the practice to state in writing where any surgery would take place, who the facility's licence holder is, and which accreditation, if any, covers that facility.

Editorial independence
Partnership strengthens visibility; it does not determine our editorial assessment or our personal recommendations. Featured collaborations are separated from the editorial selection and presented transparently.

No patient reviews or star ratings. No success or complication rates unless published in a peer-reviewed source. Nothing appears under this surgeon's name without their written agreement, and they may ask for the page to be withdrawn at any time.
