In Short

I am a plastic surgeon specialized in all types of aesthetic surgery. After spending many years refining my surgical abilities in countries like France, Brazil, Sweden and Finland my main focus and great passion remains the nose and the breast. In addition to my work in my own private practice in Bucharest, I spend time every year with renowned surgeons from all over the world to better enhance my skills. Up until 2022 I also held a University position as an Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at the UMF Carol Davila University of Bucharest teaching students and providing them with a complete curriculum in the University Emergency Hospital of Bucharest.

Philosophy

The ‘’other natural’’ concept relies on aesthetic improvements that enhance the natural proportions of the pre-existing anatomy. My main focus and my great passion is the nose and the breast. This specialization is crucial for me to meet my expectations every day. Changing the characteristics of the human body and especially the face, greatly impacts the lives of our patients so everything must be balanced in order to have the best possible outcome.

Results

Plastic surgery combines science and art. Every plastic surgeon has his or her own artistic style while I always aim for natural results. To me, a natural nose or breast is one that  does not look obviously operated on. You will notice the change every day. The shape of the nose is in balance with your outer facial features  and inner character traits. The natural beautiful breast provides you with a balanced look and makes you feel proud when you look in the mirror. I do not believe in disproportionate obvious results that usually end up being reoperated in the future.

Engaging in direct conversation with you allows me to understand your expectations regarding a surgical procedure. Similarly, it is essential for me to gauge if I am the most suitable doctor for your needs. To aid you in making an informed decision, I regularly share my surgical outcomes on social media every week. This gives you the opportunity to determine if my approach aligns with your desired outcome.

Location

All surgeries and consultations are carried out by dr. Turbatu in Bucharest, mainly at the Provita Nord private hospital situated in the north of Bucharest on  Dimitrie Pompeiu blvd. nr 9. Other locations to be announced in the future.
