Who is Oygar Aytekin?
Throughout my life approaching half a century, I tried to move forward without harming others, in accordance with the philosophy expressed by Hippocrates’ famous phrase “First, do no harm”. The good news is that the majority of my patients are also aware of my approach.
After spending my childhood years in Germany, I continued my high school education back in Turkey and earned my M.D. from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty.
Since my father is also a plastic surgeon, my journey in medicine started at a young age. Aside from the time I spent with him in his office during my high school years, I can say that he gave me a solid education in the field of surgery starting in my second year of medical school. I accompanied him both in his office and the hospital where he was working so I can easily say that I was both self-taught and schooled.
After I received my medical degree, I settled down in Austria and started to specialize in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the University of Vienna Medical Faculty, which was the largest hospital in Europe at that time. During my specialization, I had the opportunity to take lessons from numerous European instructors.
During my studies in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, I took part in organizing “Aesthetic Facial Surgery in Fresh Cadaver Heads” courses that we started in partnership with the Department of Anatomy and I worked as an instructor for 5 years. In the last year of my specialization, I worked as the private assistant of the world famous Hand Surgeon Prof. Dr. Hanno Millesi. After my specialization training, I worked mostly with maxillofacial cases in a private clinic in Vienna.
After this period, my desire to reunite with my core family has grown inside me and I returned back to Turkey and started to work in a private hospital. Currently, I am serving my patients in my own clinic.
I perform my surgeries in hospitals that are close to my clinic and whose quality suits my patients’ standards. My philosophy is to hold dictates of conscience above all else. Therefore, I try to make every patient feel that they are human first and win the hearts first by treating them as I want to be treated.
