PREFACE
The Art of the Lips is a book that aims to provide aesthetic information according to the anatomy of the human breast, geographic effects, periodic perspectives, and the processing of sculpture and painting. After my books titled The Art of Nose and The Art of Breast, in this book, I explained the aesthetically ideal lip shape through the pioneering works I chose from sculpture and painting. Lip types and features according to origins, aesthetic concepts changing according to cultures and years, art movements and change processes about lip aesthetics according to popular culture were given by supporting with photos, pictures and illustrations. I think my book titled The Art of Lips will be a reference book for readers who want to learn about the role of lip shape in the face shape, its artistic depiction, its place and importance in people’s aesthetic perception.
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.
