Professor Ozlem Colak is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose career developed within the Turkish public healthcare system and continues at the private Gayrettepe Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul.
Her main focus is breast surgery. Professor Colak’s research is devoted to the behavior of tissues around implants, the prevention of complications and reduction mammoplasty. A separate area is reconstructive microsurgery: recovery after hand trauma and the treatment of complex, slow-healing wounds.
Why patients choose this doctor:
Professor Colak is the author of about twenty-two scientific publications, all devoted to plastic and reconstructive surgery.
A significant part of her work concerns breast surgery: the behavior of tissues around implants, the prevention of capsular contracture and the consequences of reduction mammoplasty. A separate group of papers covers reconstructive microsurgery and the treatment of complex wounds.
Some of her publications have appeared in leading journals of the specialty, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Gayrettepe Florence Nightingale Hospital is one of the facilities of the Florence Nightingale group, a private hospital network in Istanbul operating since 1989. This is where Professor Colak sees patients.
For a patient traveling from another country for plastic surgery, the network offers several practical advantages. The clinic holds JCI international accreditation — a standard of hospital safety that is important for elective surgery under general anesthesia. The group also has an official medical tourism authorization from the Turkish Ministry of Health and a dedicated department for working with foreign patients.
The department where Professor Colak sees patients combines aesthetic and reconstructive surgery — meaning breast augmentation, correction of complications after previously placed implants and reconstruction are all handled in one place.
Please note: Professor Colak does not have a contract with the Turkish public insurance system — treatment is paid directly or through private insurance.
