Dr. Guncel Ozturk

Dr. Guncel Ozturk, born in Istanbul in 1979, grew up in an artistic environment as the son of a sculptor. His early exposure to art led him to develop a strong passion for sculpture and painting. He completed his medical degree in 2003, and later that year, he decided to pursue plastic surgery as a specialty, given its connection to the plastic arts. His exceptional performance in the Examination for Specialty in Medicine (TUS) earned him a position in the Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery department at Istanbul University's Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty.

Upon completing his education in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Ozturk became a certified Plastic and Aesthetic Surgical Specialist. He went on to obtain the Accreditation of European Plastic Surgery in Belgium and France. Dr. Ozturk served his military service at Malatya Military Hospital's Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department and fulfilled his mandatory service at Sivas Numune Hospital's Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery Department.

Dr. Guncel Ozturk is currently the owner of The Hairneva, Neva Clinic, and Neva Art Gallery.

“I have focused on two things during my life; one is Aesthetics and the other is Art. Meet the plastic surgery art of a human sculptor”, Güncel Öztürk…
