PREFACE
The Art of Nose is a book that aims to give aesthetic information about nose anatomy, nose characteristics according to ethnicity, examples of nose design in sculpture and painting art.
I have been painting and sculpting for a long time. I’m also a plastic surgeon. Due to my profession, I pay much attention to natural nose shapes, general harmony of nose and face. I have explained the nose designs in the art of painting and sculpture from past to present through valuable artworks. I explain the effects of ethnic characteristics, the concept of beauty that has changed throughout history and the art movements on nose design.
The nose does not only contribute to the shape of the face, but also to the characteristic features of the people. We think that the The Art of Nose, which describes the nose affecting our quality of life, will be a bedside book.
I have focused on two things during my life; one is Aesthetics and the other is Art. Meet the plastic surgery art of a human sculptor, Güncel Öztürk…
He was born to an artist father in Istanbul, 1979. He has been in art environments because his father was a sculptor. With this influence,Güncel Öztürk performed a great number of sculptor and painting works. He graduated from Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty at Istanbul University in 2003 and assumed the title of Medical Doctor. In the same year, he preferred to study plastic surgery that was close to plastic arts in the Examination for Specialty in Medicine (TUS). He was among those ranking the highest in the examination and he got into the department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at Istanbul University, Medical Faculty of Cerrahpaşa. During his education of specialty in medicine which took 6 years, he studied rhinoplasty and facial aesthetics under the supervision of John A. Persing, MD, FACS at Yale University, New Haven Hospital Plastic and Reconstructive Department of General Surgery, Connecticut-USA in 2006 in a part of his education. In 2007, he also received education on rhinoplasty and mamoplasty at University of Miami, Jackson Memorial Hospital Aesthetics, Plastic and Reconstructive Department of General Surgery, Florida-USA. After his education on Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, he completed his specialty and became a Plastic and Aesthetic Surgical Specialist. Receiving the Accreditation of European Plastic Surgery in Belgium and France, Güncel Öztürk performed his military service at Malatya Military Hospital, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department and his mandatory service at Sivas Numune Hospital, Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Department.
