Dr. Aslı’s Own Words about her career

My profession requires constant and close follow-up of ever-changing technologies and
newly developing surgical techniques. I try to achieve this by participating in congresses and
scientific meetings, following current treatment approaches, and observing the experiences
of other hands. I know that there is no end to self-improvement…
I was born in 1978 in Osmaniye. I studied medicine at Trakya University Faculty of Medicine
in 1996-2002. Between 2004 and 2009, I completed my specialization training at Gaziantep
University Faculty of Medicine, Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Clinic. During
this period, I received microsurgery training at Şişli Etfal Training and Research Hospital. In
2010-2012, I completed my compulsory service in Gaziantep and Urfa. In 2011, I was
assigned to Aydın State Hospital with an in-house assignment and worked as a specialist
physician for approximately 2.5 years. Between 2013 and 2014, I was an observer at Barış
Çakır, Oymak and Cellest Clinics.
In 2014, I resigned from Aydın State Hospital and after working at İzmir Private Gözde
Hospital for a short time, I started working at İzmir Private Gazi Hospital. Since 2017, I have
been serving in his own clinic, AG Clinic (Aesthetics and Women's Health Clinic).
