Below, you can read the official biography, academic journey, international board certifications, and comprehensive clinical expertise of Dr. Certel in Istanbul.

Educational Background and Specialized Training

I was born in Manisa in 1985. After graduating from Istanbul University, Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty in 2009, I passed the Medical Specialization Exam (TUS) and was accepted into the Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery program at Marmara University. I completed my training there in 2014 and became a certified specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery.

During my intensive residency at Marmara University, I had the privilege of working alongside leading pioneers in the field, gaining extensive hands-on experience in complex reconstructive cases and advanced cosmetic procedures. This strong academic foundation laid the absolute groundwork for my career as a dedicated, patient-centric plastic surgeon in Turkey.

Clinical Milestones & European Board Certification

From 2014 to 2015, I fulfilled my compulsory medical service at Konya Education and Research Hospital. During this time, I performed hundreds of successful surgeries, focusing mainly on rhinoplasty, body contouring, hand surgery, maxillofacial surgery, and cancer surgery. As a result of exams I took during this period, I earned the title of “European Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.”

In 2016, I returned to Istanbul and joined the Medicana Health Group. Since 2017, I have been seeing patients at my own private practice.

Achieving the European Board Certification (EBOPRAS) is a landmark milestone that demonstrates a strict adherence to European medical safety protocols, ethics, and cutting-edge operational techniques. This offers utmost peace of mind to international patients looking for an accredited plastic surgeon in Turkey.

Private Practice and Global Health Tourism in Istanbul

Operating a private clinic in Ataşehir, Istanbul, allows me to offer a completely personalized, boutique medical experience. Our private practice has become a trusted global destination for health tourism, welcoming hundreds of patients annually from the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, and the Middle East who seek a top-tier plastic surgeon in Turkey for life-changing transformations.

Our boutique clinic focuses heavily on creating natural, balanced, and structurally sound results tailored to each patient’s unique anatomical features. We specialize deeply in combining advanced technology with artistic vision to deliver high-definition results.

Specialized Procedures and Aesthetic Philosophy

My surgical philosophy revolves around safety, anatomical proportion, and long-lasting, natural-looking outcomes. Every patient’s body is unique, and I tailor every single surgical plan to complement the individual’s natural contours. Over the years, our clinic has specialized in the following high-demand procedures:

  • Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Utilizing advanced, safe fat grafting techniques to sculpt a balanced, natural-looking hourglass silhouette.
  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Restoring abdominal wall strength, repairing muscle diastasis, and removing excess skin post-pregnancy or after massive weight loss.
  • Breast Implants & Restoration: Providing custom breast augmentation, lifts, and reductions designed for long-lasting harmony and perfect proportions.
  • Rhinoplasty: Delivering functional and structural nose jobs that harmonize seamlessly with ethnic and facial features while improving breathing.
