A double board-certified plastic & reconstructive surgeon based in Istanbul, with a particular focus on scar revision and reconstruction — and a reputation for honest, realistic advice.

Scar revision sits at the heart of plastic & reconstructive surgery — it is where technique, anatomy and judgement matter most. Dr. Erdal approaches every scar individually: assessing its type, position and behaviour, and matching the right method, from meticulous surgical revision to laser and injections.
Equally important is honesty. No scar can be erased, and Dr. Erdal will always tell you what is realistically achievable rather than over-promising — so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
