There is a
unique
art to naturalness.
An approach that combines surgical precision with the art of sculpture—with respect for your face’s character, proportions, and natural structure.

The artist’s vision.
A journey that begins
in the hands,
shaped by art.
A story that spans from a technical high school workshop to microsurgery, and from there to the art of sculpture.
Born in Adana in 1975, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Barış Çakır applied the manual dexterity he acquired during his years at technical high school to the field of surgery. After graduating from the Faculty of Medicine at Çukurova University, he began his training in plastic surgery at Kartal Training and Research Hospital.
Today, he continues his work in the field of rhinoplasty with a focus on understanding anatomy, paying close attention to tissues, and evaluating the face as a whole.

your face.
Unique to you.
At the heart of the rhinoplasty approach lies not only the shape of the nose, but also the face as a whole, its anatomical structure, and the patient’s expectations.
01 Personalized Planning
Facial proportions and photo analysis are part of the preoperative evaluation. Digital design helps facilitate a discussion of expectations and the development of a surgical plan.
Digital design does not guarantee the outcome of the surgery.
02 Respect for the natural environment
Barış Çakır’ın yaklaşımı, burun anatomisini ve dokuların birbiriyle ilişkisini gözetir. Teknik seçimi, kişisel muayene ve cerrahi değerlendirmeyle belirlenir.
03 Light, Shadow, and Polygons
Çakır Polygons define an approach aimed at understanding the shapes that make up the surface of the nose and the relationships between the cartilages. The perception of form and surface in sculpture is an important part of this perspective.
04 Design Thinking in Surgery
His background in technical education is also reflected in his work on surgical instrument design. The Çakır Nasal Bone File is one such example.
To look at a form.
To be able to
see the whole picture.
A sculpture teaches us to interpret a face not only through lines, but also through volume, proportion, light, and shadow.
Barış Çakır’s training in sculpture, which began in the fine arts departments at Süleyman Demirel and İnönü Universities, is part of his artistic journey, which has evolved alongside his interest in surgery.
Experience gains meaning
as it is shared.
An observation in the operating room can be the start of an article; a surgical idea, the start of a book.

A surgical instrument design that combines material, working angle, and motion control.
Not just a single technique, but
an approach based on anatomy.
Every nose requires a different balance. In light of Barış Çakır’s publications and books, discover five approaches to preservation, structural support, function, and reconstruction.
Shaping the existing structure
while preserving it.
Discover a conservative approach focused on the ligaments, cartilage structure, and integrity of the nasal bridge.
The underlying
structural framework of the form.
Examine how the supports that hold up the tip and the bridge of the nose are evaluated.
Along with aesthetics,
the function of breathing.
An approach that considers the relationships between the septum, the nasal valve, and the airway as a whole.
Protection and support are part of the same plan.
Discover how protective and structural techniques come together based on anatomy.
Re-evaluate the
altered anatomy.
A comprehensive evaluation of tissue, support, and expectations following previous surgeries.
A window that opens
for the questions.

Before the
first meeting.
Understanding the process starts with asking the right questions.
What is assessed during the initial examination?
Your expectations, medical history, nasal structure, and facial proportions are evaluated together. The options that are right for you and the details of the procedure will be discussed during a personal consultation.
What is the purpose of digital nose design?
The analysis based on the photograph is a tool for discussing expectations and planning the surgery. The image displayed on the screen does not constitute a guarantee of the final result.
Where are the surgeries performed?
Associate Professor Dr. Barış Çakır conducts his consultations at his office in Nişantaşı and performs his surgeries at the American Hospital. Please contact the office for current scheduling information.
