After six years of medical education, I began my compulsory service at Istanbul Sultangazi Community Health Center in 2012. In the same year, I was admitted to the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery at Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital through the Medical Specialty Examination.

After completing my specialization training in 2018, I continued my compulsory service as a Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeon at Edirne State Hospital. After completing my compulsory service in Edirne in 2020, I was appointed to Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital. After serving in this hospital for 1.5 years, I started working at Esteworld Altunizade Hospital in January 2022. Then, I moved to my own private practice in May 2023. I have been working in my own clinic since then.
