Medical Expertise & Specializations

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatih Ceran possesses a broad and deeply refined spectrum of medical expertise. His surgical repertoire spans both the delicate artistry of aesthetic enhancements and the intricate, life-changing mechanics of reconstructive surgery. By integrating his robust surgical skills with advanced medical technologies at Biruni University Hospital, Dr. Ceran consistently delivers precision treatment systems aimed at optimal patient outcomes.

Conditions Treated

Dr. Ceran’s comprehensive clinical background allows him to expertly diagnose and treat a wide variety of complex medical and aesthetic conditions. His key areas of focus include:

• Congenital Anomalies: Dr. Ceran treats patients born with physical abnormalities, such as cleft lip, cleft palate, syndactyly (webbed fingers), and other birth defects that impact both physical appearance and essential bodily functions. Early and expert intervention ensures that children can develop with proper physical mechanics and aesthetic normalcy.
• Severe Burns and Chronic Wounds: Managing severe thermal, chemical, or electrical burns requires a deep understanding of tissue viability. Dr. Ceran treats acute burn injuries as well as chronic, non-healing wounds that may result from systemic diseases or vascular issues. His ongoing immunology research highly informs his approach to cellular healing.
• Maxillofacial and Facial Trauma: Patients suffering from traumatic injuries to the face and jaw—whether from accidents, sports injuries, or congenital issues—receive comprehensive care. This includes the treatment of fractured jawbones, orbital fractures, and extensive soft tissue damage of the face.
• Hand and Upper Extremity Conditions: The hand is an incredibly complex structure of nerves, tendons, and small bones. Dr. Ceran treats traumatic hand amputations, nerve compressions (like carpal tunnel syndrome), tendon lacerations, and crippling conditions like Dupuytren's contracture.
• Aesthetic and Cosmetic Concerns: He addresses a wide range of aesthetic conditions for patients looking to improve body contours, facial symmetry, or reverse the signs of aging. This includes skin laxity, volume loss, and disproportional body features.

Procedures Performed

Utilizing the high-tech infrastructure of Biruni University Hospital, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatih Ceran performs a vast array of surgical procedures designed to reconstruct, restore, and refine. His most prominent procedural focus areas include:

• Aesthetic Surgery: Dr. Ceran performs transformative cosmetic procedures intended to enhance physical appearance. This includes facial aesthetics (such as rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and facelifts), breast surgeries (augmentation, reduction, and lifting), and comprehensive body contouring procedures (including abdominoplasty and liposuction).
• Oral, Facial and Maxillofacial Surgery: This highly specialized field involves reconstructive surgery of the facial skeleton and oral cavity. Dr. Ceran performs complex jaw realignments (orthognathic surgery), repairs facial bone fractures, and reconstructs facial structures following tumor removals or severe accidents, ensuring both aesthetic harmony and functional bite restoration.
• Microsurgery: Microsurgery is a demanding discipline requiring the surgeon to reattach tiny blood vessels and nerves using highly magnified microscopes and specialized precision instruments. Dr. Ceran utilizes microsurgery for complex tissue transfers (free flaps) to reconstruct major defects resulting from cancer excisions or massive trauma.
• Hand Surgery: To restore the delicate function of the hand, Dr. Ceran performs intricate tendon repairs, nerve grafting, joint reconstruction, and the reattachment of severed digits. His goal is always to maximize motor function, strength, and tactile sensation in the patient's extremities.
• Burn and Wound Treatment: To treat devastating tissue loss, Dr. Ceran performs advanced skin grafting, tissue expansion, and scar revision surgeries. He employs cutting-edge biological dressings and advanced reconstructive flap techniques to cover exposed bones, tendons, or vital organs, significantly reducing the risk of infection and promoting functional recovery.
