Biography - Dr. Ozan Balık
About Me
Dr. Ozan Balık was born in Adana in 1975. He attended primary and secondary school in Adana and graduated from Adana Karşıyaka High School in 1992. In the same year, he entered Istanbul University to study Electronic Engineering. However, after a series of orthopedic surgeries, he decided to leave his engineering studies behind. In 1993, he started his medical education at Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine and obtained the title of Medical Doctor in 1999. He served his mandatory service at Viranşehir State Hospital Emergency Department from 1999 to 2000.
He worked as a resident doctor in the Anesthesiology and Reanimation Department at Göztepe SSK Hospital from 2001 to 2002. In 2002, he joined the Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Department at Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine. He completed his specialization in 2008 and obtained his certificate. In the same year, he was awarded the “National Board Certification” by the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. From 2008 to 2009, he served as the Head of Plastic Surgery Clinic at Edirne State Hospital. Since 2010, Dr. Ozan Balık has been continuing his work at his private clinic in Istanbul.
He proved that Reverse End-to-Side Nerve Repair can be used in peripheral nerve injuries. He published his thesis on this study titled “A Successful Neurotization of Two Different Muscles Using a Single Intact Motor Nerve” in the Annals of Plastic Surgery. Additionally, he described a technique called “Butterfly Flap,” which is used in gender reassignment surgeries to create the clitoris-labia complex in a sensate manner, and published it in the Annals of Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Ozan Balık is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), International Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), The Rhinoplasty Society of Europe, and the Turkish Society of Aesthetic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (TPRECD).
In his spare time, Dr. Ozan Balık engages in writing novels, screenplay writing, and designing biomechanical devices as hobbies.
