Dr. Aslı Can's Own Words About Her Career

My profession necessitates a continual and thorough engagement with evolving technologies and emerging surgical techniques. I achieve this by actively participating in congresses and scientific gatherings, staying abreast of contemporary treatment methodologies, and assimilating insights from fellow professionals. The pursuit of self-improvement remains a limitless journey...

Born in 1978 in Osmaniye, I pursued my medical studies at Trakya University Faculty of Medicine from 1996 to 2002. I embarked on specialization training at Gaziantep University Faculty of Medicine, specializing in Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Clinic, between 2004 and 2009. During this interval, I also honed my skills in microsurgery at Şişli Etfal Training and Research Hospital. From 2010 to 2012, I fulfilled my mandatory service in Gaziantep and Urfa. In 2011, I assumed a role at Aydın State Hospital, contributing as a specialist for approximately 2.5 years. The span of 2013 to 2014 saw me as an observer at the esteemed Barış Çakır, Oymak, and Cellest Clinics.

In 2014, I chose to step away from Aydın State Hospital, briefly serving at İzmir Private Gözde Hospital before joining the team at İzmir Private Gazi Hospital. Since 2017, my professional endeavors have centered around my own practice, AG Clinic (Aesthetics and Women's Health Clinic).
