Op. Dr. Tamer Şakrak
I was born on February 15, 1977, in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, as the youngest child of a working-class family. In 1982, I returned to Kaymakçı village in Ödemiş, Izmir, which is the homeland of my ancestors. In other words, I am a nomad from the Maşattepe Cumulus of Otamış Plateau in Izmir. I started primary school there.
My family made a living through farming and trade. I know how to pick tobacco, irrigate crops, or harvest okra. In 1985, we moved to Izmir. My father supported our family for many years as a taxi driver. I completed my middle school and high school education in Izmir.
I graduated from the prestigious İzmir Atatürk High School, of which I have always been proud, in 1994, and in the same year, I was accepted into the Faculty of Medicine at Osmangazi University. After graduating in 2000, I worked as a general practitioner in the province of Kocaeli. It was there that I married my wife, Şule Şakrak. In 2003, I completed my military service as a reserve officer.
Afterward, I returned to Eskişehir Osmangazi University and began my specialization training in the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery. In 2010, I became a specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery. During my university years, I conducted numerous studies, particularly in the field of microsurgery. I published scientific articles and received awards. From 2010 to 2011, I completed my compulsory service at Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital.
In 2012-2013, I worked at Acıbadem Eskişehir Hospital, and from 2012 to 2014, I served as the clinic supervisor and chief physician at Esteworld Plastic Surgery Hospital. Since 2014, I have been working in my own clinic, which I continue to operate today. I have always lived a life that is sensitive to social and community issues, and in line with the requirements of modern life.
Throughout my professional career, I have successfully performed over 7,000 surgeries both domestically and internationally. I have extensive experience, particularly in body contouring, post-bariatric surgery, rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty. I am currently married and the father of two children.
