Assoc. Prof. Dr. Barış Çakır Clinic is the private practice of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon Barış Çakır. It occupies the first floor of the Güneş Apartment on Teşvikiye Caddesi in the Nişantaşı area of Şişli, Istanbul. The clinic's website describes a practice focused on rhinoplasty: patients are seen at the Nişantaşı clinic and operations are performed at the American Hospital (Amerikan Hastanesi) in Istanbul.

Dr. Çakır was born in Adana in 1975. He entered Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine in 1993 and began training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Kartal Education and Research Hospital in 1999, where his thesis covered a vascular suture technique he developed. After specialising he studied sculpture at the fine arts departments of Süleyman Demirel University in Isparta and İnönü University in Malatya. His website presents drawing and sculpture as the basis of his nasal analysis method, polygon rhinoplasty. He also designed the Çakır Polygons analysis system and the Çakır Nasal Bone Rasp, a high-hardness steel hand rasp for shaping the nasal bones.

According to the website, he prefers a closed (endonasal) approach combined with subperichondrial dissection and an internal taping technique. Planning includes a photographic examination and a digital design of the nose. The site lists his books, including Aesthetic Septorhinoplasty with a foreword by Rollin K. Daniel, and his lectures, courses and live-surgery sessions at rhinoplasty meetings in Türkiye, Europe and the United States. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health.
