— Your Surgeon
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayhan Işık Erdal
Double board-certified plastic surgeon (FACS, FEBOPRAS), Associate Professor, and a recognised name in aesthetic plastic surgery — caring for international patients in Istanbul.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayhan Işık Erdal is a double board-certified plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon based in Şişli, Istanbul. He completed his medical education in English at Hacettepe University — graduating as an Honour Student in 2013 — and his plastic surgery residency at Gazi University in 2019.
He gained international experience at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York (2018) and Ghent University in Belgium (2023), and was awarded the title of Associate Professor (Doçent) in 2024. Today he combines an academic understanding of surgery with a refined aesthetic eye — and consults personally, in fluent English, with every patient who travels to him.
