The broad practice area of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, the variety of the dynamics of each surgery, and the needs of each patient allow for personal creativity and improvisation. The fact that the results are visible immediately after the surgery, and patients are made happy with magic touches led Onur Egemen to choose Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery specialization in the Medical Specialty Exam (TUS), which he took in the same year he graduated from the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine in 1999.
Dr. Onur Egemen started his specialty training at the Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Şişli Etfal Training and Research Hospital in 1999. During this period, he also completed his microsurgery training and performed many microsurgical surgeries.

In the clinic, he participated in many cases, especially in post-cancer breast reconstruction with microsurgical methods, and aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, and as a result, his interest in breast surgery increased even more.
