Dr. Baris Cakir

Dr. Baris Cakir born in Adana in 1975, he embarked on his medical journey at Çukurova Faculty of Medicine in 1993. His time at Çukurova Electric Anatolian Technical High School was influential as it ignited his interest in hands-on craftsmanship, which later translated to his surgical precision.

In 1999, Dr. Cakir pursued his specialty in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery at Kartal Training and Research Hospital. It was here he ventured into microsurgery, executing close to 500 microsurgical operations. Part of his work revolved around researching fingertip breakouts in children. Dr. Cakir was also instrumental in devising a novel "vessel suturing technique" which he presented at a national congress in 2004, where his work received notable acknowledgment.

Adding another feather to his cap, Dr. Cakir also focused on muscle movements concerning cleft lip repairs. The muscle suture technique he introduced was recognized and lauded at a national level. Apart from his in-depth research and surgical practices, he sought to widen his knowledge base, spending a month at the Media Park clinic in Cologne, Germany, under the guidance of Dr. Serdar Eren.

Believing in continuous learning, Dr. Cakir delved into the world of art, focusing on sculpture and its correlation with aesthetic surgery outcomes. He pursued studies in Sculpture at various universities and is under the tutelage of Yusuf Başoğlu. Currently, Dr. Cakir continues his practice in Nişantaşı, balancing his work and family life as a proud father of two.
