A double board-certified plastic & reconstructive surgeon in Istanbul who treats fat grafting as sculpture — and is known for honest, conservative advice.
Fat transfer is judgement surgery: where to place, how much, and — above all — where to hold back. Dr. Erdal performs the full sequence personally, plans conservatively (especially under the eyes), and tells you plainly when fat isn't the right tool for your face.
His reconstructive background — where transferred tissue must survive, not just look good on day one — is exactly the foundation fat grafting rewards.
