His surgical philosophy is based on viewing the face not as a collection of isolated regions, but as an anatomical continuum in which the forehead and brows, temporal region, periorbital area, midface, lower face, and neck are closely interconnected.

Alongside his clinical practice, Dr. Gencer continues his academic work on the facial surgery techniques he has developed. He regularly lectures at national and international scientific meetings, serves as faculty at facial anatomy and cadaver courses, and shares his surgical experience with visiting surgeons through fellowship and observership programs in Istanbul.

After graduating from Denizli Anatolian High School, Dr. Gencer attended Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Medicine, where he graduated second in his class.

He subsequently completed his residency in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine (Çapa).

During his 5.5 years of residency training, he gained broad surgical experience, with particular emphasis on maxillofacial surgery, cleft lip and palate surgery, alveolar clefts, correction of jaw deformities, facial trauma, head and neck reconstruction, congenital anomalies, and microsurgery.

During the same period, he spent 24 months actively working in Hand and Microsurgery, gaining experience in microsurgery, peripheral nerve surgery, and reconstructive procedures.

Following residency, he worked for approximately two years as a Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon at Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital, where he performed hundreds of surgical procedures.

During this period, he was also assigned to provide medical services in Southeastern Türkiye as part of the Operation Peace Spring healthcare deployment.

His background in maxillofacial surgery, microsurgery, and reconstructive surgery provided the anatomical and surgical foundation for his subsequent focus on facial surgery.

After completing his public service and establishing his private practice, his work progressively shifted toward facial aesthetics. For the past six years, his surgical practice has been focused exclusively on facial aesthetic surgery.

As his practice became increasingly focused on facial surgery, Dr. Gencer pursued further international training in advanced facial anatomy and facial rejuvenation techniques.

In 2018, he participated in facial anatomy and cadaver training in Singapore.

In 2019, he visited the clinic of Giovanni and Chiara Botti in Italy, where he further studied facial aesthetic surgery.

In 2022, he attended advanced facial surgery cadaver training at the ICLO Teaching and Research Center in Italy, with faculty including Sam Hamra, Giovanni Botti, and Mario Pelle Ceravolo.

In 2023 and 2024, he participated in the MAFAC Advanced Facial Anatomy Courses, continuing his work on advanced surgical anatomy of the face and neck.

He has also attended facial aesthetic surgery meetings, courses, and training programs in countries including Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Russia, and Singapore.

Over time, his role evolved from participating in advanced surgical courses to teaching his own surgical experience and techniques to other surgeons.

Dr. Gencer has served as faculty and as a member of the organizing team in five FABCAST facial cadaver courses in Türkiye.

He has also served as faculty at facial cadaver courses organized by the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, teaching facial surgical anatomy and operative techniques.

In 2025, he was invited by the Jordanian Society of Plastic Surgery to teach facial surgery at a cadaver course in Jordan.

In 2026, he served as faculty at an advanced facial surgery cadaver course in Warsaw, Poland.

He currently continues to organize and teach dedicated advanced facial cadaver courses at Koç University RMK AIMES in Istanbul, focusing on the surgical anatomy and application of his own facial rejuvenation techniques.

These courses cover facial anatomical layers, safe dissection planes, nerve anatomy, fixation methods, and the surgical relationships between different regions of the face.

Another part of Dr. Gencer’s educational activities is his Fellowship and Observership Program in Istanbul.

To date, more than 50 surgeons from Türkiye and more than 70 international surgeons have visited his practice to observe his approach to facial aesthetic surgery.

International visitors have come from countries including the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Greece, Romania, Ukraine, and France.

The program covers different stages of facial surgery, from patient assessment and preoperative planning to surgical techniques, anatomical approaches, and postoperative follow-up.

Since 2018, Dr. Gencer has delivered numerous lectures on facial aesthetic surgery at the national congresses, winter meetings, and regional scientific meetings of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons.

Between 2024 and 2026, he served as a speaker and faculty member at multiple FABCAST facial surgery meetings in Türkiye. In 2025, he demonstrated his facial surgery techniques during a live surgical procedure as part of the educational program.

Internationally, he has lectured on facial aesthetic surgery at scientific meetings in countries including Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jordan, Ukraine, and Poland.

He has also presented his facial aesthetic surgery techniques at the World Congresses of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) for three consecutive years:

2024 – Colombia
2025 – Singapore
2026 – Mexico

In 2026, he performed live surgery at an endoscopic facial surgery congress in Russia, demonstrating his surgical approach to an international audience of colleagues.

An important component of Dr. Gencer’s surgical practice is the integration of clinical experience with academic research and scientific publication.

In recent years, he has evaluated the facial surgery techniques he developed through large clinical series and published his work in international peer-reviewed plastic surgery journals.

These publications represent a progression of his work across different anatomical regions—from the midface and forehead to comprehensive facial rejuvenation and deep neck surgery.
