Born in 1985 in Diyarbakır, Turkey, Hasan Ersöz grew up in a family that deeply valued knowledge and service. His father, Dr. Ekrem Ersöz, was a highly respected urology specialist and served as chief physician at Diyarbakır State Hospital. His mother, an English teacher, ensured a balanced upbringing enriched with both science and language. Inspired by his father's legacy, Hasan knew from a young age that he wanted not just to become a doctor, but a surgeon.
After completing his primary and secondary education in Diyarbakır, he successfully passed the science high school entrance exams and moved to Çanakkale to attend his mother's hometown's prestigious Science High School. Excelling academically, he scored high enough in the university entrance exam to gain admission to Hacettepe University, yet chose to study medicine at Dicle University due to family circumstances.
During his final year at medical school, his father fell seriously ill with lung disease—an event that profoundly influenced his future. Motivated by a personal and idealistic mission, he pursued thoracic surgery, a branch typically not selected by top scorers. He earned a spot in the Dokuz Eylül University Thoracic Surgery Residency in Izmir, the city that would become the center of his life's work.
After five years of intensive surgical training, Dr. Ersöz was appointed to Tepecik Training and Research Hospital. Despite Suat Seren Chest Hospital being the primary center for chest cases, patients with high-risk and complex profiles soon began requesting him. With courage and precision, he operated on numerous high-risk cases that others had turned away.
His success led to a life-changing offer from İzmir Kâtip Çelebi University: to establish a new thoracic surgery department at the city’s oldest hospital, Atatürk Training and Research Hospital. Accepting the challenge without hesitation, he set out to build a clinic from the ground up—literally starting without scissors, beds, or administrative support.
Despite bureaucratic hurdles and minimal resources, Dr. Ersöz worked tirelessly. He mastered hospital admin sys, handled paperwork himself, placed patients in borrowed beds, and pursued animal studies to publish internationally. He simultaneously taught thoracic surgery classes singlehandedly.
His passion for innovation took him to China in 2019, where he trained under the legendary Dr. Diego Gonzales Rivas, mastering minimally invasive thoracic surgery (VATS). Without a local mentor, he successfully completed more than 50 operations, gaining recognition for his independent achievements.
Dr. Ersöz's animal study publications received funding from TÜBİTAK and were published in journals indexed by the Oxford University Library and prominent Asian medical journals. His high-impact work attracted citations and letters of commendation, and he quickly rose through the academic ranks.
In 2020, at the age of just 35, he was granted the title of Associate Professor. That same year, he organized an international symposium on Pectus Deformities. With live surgical demonstrations, he trained dozens of surgeons from countries including Italy, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Ersöz's clinic became internationally known for its groundbreaking thoracic procedures:
✅ First cross-bar pectus surgery in Turkey (5th worldwide)
✅ Second 4-bar simultaneous pectus correction in the world
✅ Carinal sleeve pneumonectomy for high-risk lung cancer
✅ Bronchial fistula repair using the world’s 5th ASD occluder
✅ Scarless rib flare correction using Ribella
Developed by Dr. Ersöz, Ribella is the world’s first non-surgical rib contouring method, ideal for patients (especially women) with rib flare and poor waist definition despite low body fat.
Performed under ultrasound guidance, Ribella requires no incisions, stitches, or rib removal. Pinhole entry points are used to externally reshape the angle of the 10th to 12th ribs. The result is an immediate and permanent waist narrowing of up to 7–9 cm, with zero downtime.
Ribella is a game-changer for models, athletes, dancers, and individuals seeking aesthetic enhancement without surgical trauma.
By 2022, Dr. Ersöz had spent 6.5 years building one of Turkey’s most advanced thoracic surgery departments. Despite tremendous academic success, he felt his energy was being diverted by bureaucracy. At age 37, he made the bold move to resign and establish his own clinic.
Today, he operates out of a private medical center in Izmir, focusing exclusively on what he loves: healing patients and pioneering new techniques.

Married and father of two, Dr. Ersöz continues to inspire a new generation of surgeons, combining science with beauty, and compassion with precision.
"We don’t just correct deformities; we restore confidence."
