Ekrem Keskin

With a focus on results that patients can feel day-to-day, Op. Dr. Ekrem Keskin’s clinic approach spans both surgical planning and post-procedure guidance. He trained at İstanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, earned the title of Medical Doctor in 2010, and then specialized in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital. A key part of his specialty training was a 2016 education period at Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, where he worked on rhinoplasty, facial aesthetics, and breast aesthetics under James Zins, MD and Raffi Gurunluoğlu, MD. Today, he practices as a specialist at the clinic, offering procedures designed for both aesthetic refinement and reconstructive needs.

Clinical focus and techniques

As a specialist at the clinic, Ekrem Keskin combines surgical procedures with targeted aesthetic treatments, with clear expectations about timing, discomfort, and recovery. The clinic materials describe specific techniques across facial, breast, body contouring, and hair restoration.

• Lip injections with lidocaine-containing fillers — described as not typically painful during or after injection because modern fillers include lidocaine’s local anesthetic effect.

• Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck / Karın germe ameliyatı) — with perioperative guidance including smoking cessation and alcohol avoidance before surgery.
• Rhinoplasty (Burun Estetiği) — including tampon use (typically silicone tampons removed in 2–7 days) and tamponless rhinoplasty using a septal stapler.
• Breast augmentation — silicone breast implant placement, with described implant surgery time of about 45–60 minutes and typical 1-day hospital stay.
• Breast lift (Meme dikleştirme) — performed to reshape sagging breasts, including in combination with augmentation or reduction when needed.
