In this project realized with the belief of contributing to our country and benefiting the healthcare sector, under the partnership of 10 plastic surgery specialists, we take pride in achieving a first in the international arena.

WHO ARE WE?

 

Actually, our job is to improve people’s quality of life. In other words, it is to make people look at their lives more positively and happily. Because the job of plastic and reconstructive surgeons is to reconstruct a body part that disrupts integrity and causes loss of function, or to normalize an abnormal body part that disrupts harmony. Making someone look younger than their age is our modest job.

As you all know, with the increase in human life expectancy and socio-economic conditions worldwide, there has been a strong desire among people to stay young, rejuvenate, or look more beautiful. People started to spend more time, effort, and money on their physical appearance, which also led to the emergence of a huge industry. Yes, the desire for trade and making money has always existed wherever humans are, but I think in this sector where the material is human, as a society, we have lost control a bit, and the aesthetic sector has become unnecessarily commercialized. Sometimes, even at the expense of human health…

Especially when the aggressive use of disinformation in marketing and the post-truth era merge with this profitable trade; the aesthetic sector becomes unmanageable when you think about people.

That’s why we, 10 Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeons who are experts in our profession and have a career, have come together and we have a lot to say for you. Because we feel responsible to our profession, our country, and all humanity. From the very beginning, we will talk again about the concepts of aesthetics and beauty in human sociology, the correct practices for the human body, and normalization from a health and psychological perspective. We will explain everything we know to people and perform operations accordingly.

Of course, we needed a platform to realize our goal. We, as doctors, have built a place where people-oriented, trust, and quality are indispensable and not sensational but scientific.

Our sanctuary is Orion…

Now is the time to start.

At Orion, we will seek solutions to your problems. We will only offer you solution paths that have been scientifically proven and designed for you, ensuring that you go through this process in the healthiest and most comfortable way possible.

FOUNDING PARTNERS

Orion Surgery Center was founded by 10 expert physicians specialized in their field, with careers and experience. In this regard, we commit to complying with Quality Management Systems requirements and continuously improving our patient services with the dedicated participation of all employees.

Op. Dr. Serkan Sabancıoğullarından

Born in Adana, I graduated from Adana Baraj High School in 1997 and entered Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine the same year. Due to my interest in surgical fields, I spent most of my time outside of classes in the university's operating rooms during my medical education. After completing my medical training, I fulfilled my compulsory service in the emergency department. Although I enjoyed saving hundreds of lives and the dynamic environment of the emergency unit, my interest in plastic surgery led me to take the specialization exam after completing my compulsory service, and I was accepted into the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery at Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine.

In the early years of my specialization training, I attended numerous courses and events due to my interest in hair transplantation. In my second year of residency, I developed my own hair transplantation technique using a vibrating Micromotor I designed and performed eyebrow and beard transplants for many burn patients. I had the opportunity to share this technique with many colleagues during live surgery courses organized by the Plastic Surgery Association. During my specialization training, as Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine is a regional hospital, I performed a high volume of both reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries.

After completing my specialization training, I completed my compulsory service at Bilecik State Hospital, where I focused on aesthetic surgeries during my two-year tenure. After finishing my compulsory service, I started practicing privately in Istanbul. I currently see patients at my private clinic in Üsküdar, Istanbul.
