“I am a professor of plastic surgery. Well, I was educated here in Turkey, and I graduated from medical school in 86, and then in 1990, I started my specialty in plastic surgery. I finished it in 1995 and then I spent some time in other field hospitals.
Then I started my assistant professor, as an assistant professor, in 1997 and finished it in 2003. At that time, I got my academic; I became an associate professor and last year, I became a professor in plastic surgery. During this time, I spent a year as an observer, and sometimes I joined the operations. In 1989 I was in the US again.
At that time, I spent six months in an advanced officer’s course in the medical field. Each year, I attend at least one symposium or meeting about plastic surgery in every field. I have some articles in the literature.
It is about fifty or fifty-five as a paper, and at least in the country and once outside our country I attend meetings let’s say, for example, I was in the US twice and before that time in 2003 I was in Germany and in 2005 I was in Pakistan.
We join meetings as much as we can but we are so busy here it’s fairly any time for…. We can do here every kind of procedures in plastic surgery, even both in reconstructive plastic surgery or in aesthetic plastic surgery. As you know that public do not know about the plastic surgery much because they think it’s composed of mostly ……..it’s just a part of plastic surgery.
If we talk about aesthetic surgery, we can do any kind of operation here in this hospital. It’s very easy. If we start from head to the toe, we can do ….I mean facial plastic surgery including rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, neck lifts, mid face lifts and there are also….ear and then we get down to the breasts, we can do augmentation, reduction, also augmentation and mastopexy. At the same time in the man we can do gynecomastia reduction.
Then we get to the tummy tuck, we can do liposuction, inner thigh lift, back lift and we can also do liposuction at the ankles and we can do cuff augmentations. Then when we get to the up, brachioplasty also we can do it. So that’s all for the aesthetic surgery I think.
And when we get to the reconstructive plastic surgery we can make flap surgery, even the local flaps or distant flaps, microsurgery also…
Nowadays in our country, surgeons do not do but we trained about hypospadias repair …..the urethra is under the penis, it’s not at the top, it’s a congenital .., we can do it. Of course reconstruction of head and neck surgery…”
