Dr. Serdar Bora Bayraktaroğlu

Dr. Serdar Bora Bayraktaroğlu graduated from the English Medicine Program of Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine in 2005 and completed his specialization training between 2005–2011 at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at Şişli Etfal Training and Research Hospital. During this period, he underwent extensive training in microsurgery and hand surgery at the same clinic; in January 2009, he successfully completed a six-month internship focused on facial aesthetics at The Facial Paralysis Institute in Los Angeles, USA. Bayraktaroğlu prepared his plastic surgery specialty thesis on microvascular surgery and in 2018 received advanced training in the High SMAS facelift technique under world-renowned surgeon Dr. Timothy Marten in the United States. Since 2011, he has been working as a Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist, combining scientific precision, anatomical knowledge, and an artistic perspective in his approach to aesthetic surgery.

His PhD in stem cells and exosomes at the Department of Genetics and Bioengineering at Yeditepe University has enabled him to integrate the dimension of regenerative medicine and cellular therapies into the perspective of aesthetic plastic surgery. Incorporating this expertise into his clinical practice in the context of tissue regeneration, facial rejuvenation, and the biology of aging, Bayraktaroğlu closely follows the latest developments in aesthetic surgery, anti-aging, and medical aesthetics both nationally and internationally, contributing scientifically and clinically to these fields. He values professional solidarity and knowledge sharing, and is a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.

Beyond his expertise in medicine, Bayraktaroğlu stands out for his intellectual interests, approaching the concept of aesthetics not only as a technical endeavor but also within a holistic framework that considers human perception and cultural context through his passion for philosophy, history, and gastronomy. Photography, which he regards both as a hobby and as a significant means of creative expression, allows him to continually observe the relationship between light, form, and proportion, connecting this practice with his clinical design sensibility. His first book, “Filtresiz Bir Dünya Mümkün” published in 2024 by Doğan Publishing, presented a striking intellectual journey on aesthetics, human perception, and the understanding of beauty confronted by the modern era, attracting broad public interest. Having completed his second book, “Kırışıklıklar ve Kırılganlıklar” which will be released in bookstores in the fall of 2025, Bayraktaroğlu aims to further deepen his multidisciplinary perspective blending science, aesthetics, and philosophy in the literary field as well.
