Dr. Şenol Durukan

Dr. Şenol Durukan is a specialist in Aesthetic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at Acibadem Taksim Hospital in İstanbul, where he works within the Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery unit. He has more than 17 years in medicine. His clinical interests center on breast augmentation, breast reduction and rhinoplasty, and his consultations are directed at the individual aesthetic and reconstructive goals of each patient.

Dr. Durukan graduated from Gazi University Faculty of Medicine in 2009. He then completed his specialty training in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at Ege University Faculty of Medicine, finishing in 2016. In 2023 he joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where he continues his surgical practice in the fields of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.

Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Durukan’s work involves surgery of the breast. In breast augmentation, the aim is to change breast volume or shape in line with the patient’s wishes and anatomy; the planning discussion typically addresses the patient’s expectations, the available approaches and the likely course of recovery. In breast reduction, the procedure is considered for patients seeking a smaller breast size, and the consultation covers the goals of the operation, the surgical approach and what to expect afterwards. Each plan is discussed individually, since anatomy, health status and personal preferences differ from one patient to another.

Dr. Durukan also performs rhinoplasty, surgery of the nose that may be undertaken for aesthetic reasons, for functional reasons or for a combination of the two. Before any procedure, the patient’s history, the findings of a clinical examination and the intended outcome are reviewed together, and the possible options and their limitations are explained. As a specialist in aesthetic plastic and reconstructive surgery, he approaches both aesthetic and reconstructive requests within the same framework of careful assessment and clear explanation.

How Dr. Durukan works with international patients

Dr. Durukan speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and any previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options, including the planned procedure and the care pathway. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, and it can be used to clarify the goals of treatment and to decide which further information may be needed.
