Dr. Aydin Saray

Dr. Aydin Saray, born in 1968, completed his foundational education stages in Ankara, including his tenure at TED Ankara College. His medical journey began at Ankara University Faculty of Medicine in 1986, culminating in his graduation in 1992. He further pursued his interest in Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at the same university after succeeding in the TUS exam, earning his specialist title in 1998.

Dr. Saray's commitment to his field took him beyond the borders of Turkey during his residency. His experience spans various esteemed institutions, including the Niguarda Ca Granda Hospital in Milan, the Magnetic Field Institute in Turin, and several North American facilities such as Washington University in St. Louis and McGill University's Plastic Surgery Clinic in Montreal. His active involvement in the global medical community is further evidenced by his contributions to international conferences and training programs, such as the one led by Associate Professor Monica Eldman in Tel Aviv, Israel, focusing on Carbon dioxide laser application.

Upon completing his specialization, Dr. Saray initially practiced at Ankara Private SEVGİ Hospital for a brief period before receiving recognition from EURAPS, earning him a scholarship that allowed further practice and study in Finland. His career then shifted to academia, where he established the Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery department at Mersin University Faculty of Medicine. His academic endeavors continued at Kırıkkale University Faculty of Medicine, punctuated by his participation as an invited speaker at an international symposium in Brazil and his prompt achievement of the Associate Professor title.
