Assoc. Prof. Dr Anı Çinpolat

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist

Op.-Dr.-Anı-ÇinpolatAssoc. Prof. Dr Anı Çinpolat was born in 1981 in Ankara. She graduated from Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine in 2004 after 6 years of education. She completed his speciality training at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery between 2004-2011.

In 2011, she successfully passed the exam organised by the Turkish Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Association in Izmir and was awarded the ‘Certificate of Competence’. In the same year, she passed the written and oral exams organised by the European Plastic Surgery Association in Belgium and Greece and received the ‘European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery’ certificate.

Having an intensive microsurgery experience during her speciality training, Anı Çinpolat participated in many experimental studies during this period, made many oral and written presentations in domestic and international congresses, and was a member of the team that performed the world's first uterus transplant, Turkey's first arm transplant and face transplant operations at Akdeniz University. She worked as an instructor at the Basic Microsurgery Course organised by the Plastic Surgery Association (19-24 January 2015) and worked on eye contour surgery at London Moorfields Eye Hospital (observership, 3-21 September 2012).

While performing his State Service Obligation in Adana Numune Training and Research Hospital between 2012-2013, she undertook the follow-up and treatment of many burn patients. During this intensive study period, she developed a new flap technique for foot defects in burn patients and achieved successful results in many challenging cases. She shared his experiences by explaining this technique at the VIth National Reconstructive Microsurgery Congress as a speaker.

Afterwards, she came to Antalya and worked with Prof.Dr.Ömer Özkan for 3 years. During this period, Anı Çinpolat, who worked on scar treatment and breast diseases, continues her working life in Anka, which she established in Istanbul. She has more than 30 studies published in international journals and in the publication stage.
