Doç. Dr. Can İlker Demir is an Associate Professor of plastic surgery and a European Board-certified plastic surgeon (FEBOPRAS) based at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital in Istanbul. His practice combines academic experience at Kocaeli University with a high-volume aesthetic clinic in Istanbul.
He specialises in rhinoplasty and facial aesthetics, with additional work in body contouring, breast surgery and reconstructive cases. He handles both primary and revision rhinoplasty.
Dr. Demir has more than a decade of specialist experience after completing his medical degree at Karadeniz Technical University in 2002 and his plastic surgery training at Kocaeli University in 2011. He spent four years as a faculty member at Kocaeli University and has worked at Memorial Bahçelievler, Medipol University and Bingöl State Hospital. He has been in private practice since August 2023.
International rhinoplasty patients tend to choose Dr. Demir for the academic credentials backing his aesthetic work — FEBOPRAS certification, an associate professorship and a substantial publication record — rather than purely on marketing. The Memorial Bahçelievler setting adds hospital-grade infrastructure to that profile.

View clinic profileVery professional and honest from the first consultation. Dr. Demir didn't oversell anything and gave me realistic expectations. The surgery went smoothly, recovery was faster than I expected, and the clinic was spotless. Worth every penny.
I travelled to Istanbul for a rhinoplasty with Dr. Can Ilker Demir and could not be happier. He listened carefully to what I wanted, explained the whole procedure clearly, and the result looks completely natural. The aftercare team stayed in touch even after I flew home. Highly recommend.
