Serdar Bora Bayraktaroğlu: “Beauty Begins with Healthy Skin”

This question may contain a bit of science fiction and futuristic elements, but I would like to evolve it from the idea that we can technically transform into someone else to the chance to return to our younger selves. Because our body awareness starts when we are born, and instead of destroying it by turning into someone else, I think it is the best and healthiest to reach our own natural good.

Where should we stand in this never-ending search for beauty? In your book, you also express your own idea of beauty and say, “Beauty means a good conscience, right morality and justice”. This is more of a spiritual point of view.

It may not be correct to consider the concept of beauty only as a physical concept, and I emphasized this a lot in my book. For me, the real beauty is to crown and make sense of the physical beauty we capture with our best selves spiritually.

Many applications such as fillers and botox are now used by many people under the name of “small touches”. However, your specialty is big operations such as facelift. These are still scary for many people. Of course, the bad examples we see on social media also support this. What is your opinion on this subject?

Facelift, i.e. facial rejuvenation surgeries, are among the surgeries that I am most interested in and love to perform. The most important point here is to achieve the best result in our own naturalness. My facelift philosophy develops with this perspective. The facelift operation planned with this philosophy can both rejuvenate the person for years and this new image gained adds a natural elegance to the face. I do not find it right to devalue this subject through bad examples.

In order to feel healthier and younger, what do you think are the first places and applications that we should look at and intervene without being trapped in filters?

For me, it starts with healthy skin. It includes processes such as wrinkles and volume repairs on our face, evaluation of sagging and readjustment of facial proportion. In other words, a healthy skin on our body is my starting point. For this, I think our skin should be supported with treatments such as stem cells.

What should be the limit in aesthetic applications? Is this colorful world a world where dreams come true without limits, is there no “stop” point?

This question is very important for me. I would like to say that this limit starts with the philosophy of your plastic surgeon who accompanies you throughout the aging process. A correct philosophy and a careful process can take you to great points. I think this is your most important support in the digital age, where everything is flourishing without measure. Also, to be always aware of yourself and to benefit from these applications in a self-satisfied state.
