Aesthetic Surgery
Breast Aesthetics
It is one of the aesthetic operations that women generally need from past to present. Some women complain about the smallness of their breasts, some of them about their largeness, while others complain about their sagging. In addition to structural factors, there are many factors such as over weight loss/gain, long-term breastfeeding, post-partum, etc. Therefore, these situations are disturbing for women and breasts are ensured to look aesthetically beautiful with breast aesthetics.

With Rhinoplasty surgery, which is one of the most successful aesthetic operations in Turkey, you will get rid of congenital or subsequent deformities (excessive nose size, curvature of the nasal bone, etc.) as well as your inability to breathe healthy.
Nose Aesthetics; It is made with 2 different techniques, open or closed.
1-) In open Rhinoplasty, a small incision is made between the nostrils to reach the tissues inside the nose and surgery is performed. This incision made during surgery is closed with 1-2 sutures.
2-) In closed Rhinoplasty, tissues are reached by making incisions inside the nostrils and the surgery is performed.
* Closed Rhinoplasty is the most preferred technique since there is no visible scar from the outside.
Rhinoplasty surgery is a surgical operation performed under general anesthesia. The operation takes approximately 1-1.5 hour. At the end of the operation, we put a splint on nose dorsal that will be removed when you come for control on the 5th day so that the shape of your nose can be preserved. The duration of hospital stay is 1 day.
After Rhinoplasty surgery, the patient is recommended to apply ice for the first 48 hours. Thus, bruise and oedema (swell) reactions that may occur on the face are minimized. The patient can return to daily activities within 2-3 days.

Abdominoplasty surgery is a surgical operation also called as Tummy Tuck.
- over weight loss/gain
- The skin on the anterior abdominal wall may sag due to reasons such as postpartum and these problems can be resolved with an abdominoplasty surgery.
Abdominoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia. An incision that will be hidden inside the underwear is made between the two pelvic bones, and the sagging skin is removed and tighten.

Bichectomy
With the Bichectomy operation, also known as Hollywood cheek, an inverted triangle view is created.
The excessive cheek fat gives the face a plump and round look. Even thinner people can have much cheek fat. By taking these fats partially or completely, a nice proportion and nice appearance is created. Your chin and cheekbones become more clear and you will gain a sharper appearance on your facial lines.
Bichectomy surgery can be performed under either local or general anesthesia. Cheek fat (buccal fat tissue) is removed from the mouth with 1-2 cm incisions. These incisions are closed with 1-2 sutures that can melt on their own. The operation takes approximately 20-30 minutes.
*Since the operation is performed inside the mouth, there is no visible scar from the outside.
The patient can return to his/her daily life immediately after Bichectomy surgery. Since the operation takes place inside the mouth, the use of antibiotics is recommended against any infection.
Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping)
We can say that the ears appear larger than normal and curved forward. The prominent ear is an congenital deformity, regardless of any reason.
Otoplasty operation can be performed under either local or general anesthesia. A 3-4 cm incision is made behind the ear. Cartilage is given the desired shape and fixed.

Face Lift
The face is the most apparent part of a person and unfortunately it is particularly sensitive to the aging process. With increased wrinkles and sagging on the face, you may experience a tired, sad or worried facial expression.
*** Along with face lifting surgery, nose-eyelid aesthetics and eyebrow lifting operations can also be added.
Face lift surgery is a surgical operation performed under general anesthesia. An incision starting from the scalp on the ear and advancing towards the anterior and posterior side of the ear is created. Excess skin causing sagging and wrinkles on the face is removed. Thus, sagging in the temple, cheeks and chin area is eliminated. The operation takes approximately 2-3 hours. The duration of hospital stay is usually 1 day.
Ice application is recommended for the first 24 hours after face lift surgery (as it will affect the healing process). The patient can return to his/her daily activities within 2-3 days. But it should not be forgotten to use the face bandage for 1 month.
*** Many of the incision scars during the surgery will be almost invisible as they remain under the scalp, and the scars around the ear remain at the face joins.
Neck Lift
Wrinkles and sagging may occur in the neck area due to reasons such as aging, gravity effect and over weight lose/gain, etc. This sagging tissue gather in the neck area and does not create a pleasant appearance. This appearance can only be refined by neck lift.
Neck lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The incision going down from the front of the ear to the back of the ear is made. Excess skin is removed and stretched. If there is excess fat in the jowl area, liposuction method is used. The operation takes approximately 2-2.5 hours. The duration of hospital stay is 1 day.

* Complete healing of the skin takes 2-6 months.
* Thanks to the special sutures used, the scar that may occur is minimized. In addition, the incision areas are hidden under the scalp.
* Since our neck is an integral part of our face, neck lift surgeries are recommended together with face lift operation.
Arm Lift
Arm Lift Surgery is a surgical operation for women that usually involves removing the sagging and excess skin in the upper part of the arm.
- gravity effect
- aging
- weight loss/gain
- sagging on the arms may occur due to factors such as decreased subcutaneous fat tissue. Even balanced nutrition and regular sports may not prevent the skin on your arms from sagging.
The process to be performed in the arm lift operation is decided by examining the rate of sagging of the skin and the excess of the fat tissue. If the fat tissue is excessive, it is possible to thin the arm with liposuction method. However, in cases where there is also sagging skin, an incision is made from the armpit to the elbow and excess skin is removed.
Arm lift surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. The operation takes approximately 1-1.5 hour. The duration of hospital stay is usually 1 day.
After the arm lift operation, the patient is asked not to do activities that she would move intensively her arms for 3 weeks. It is recommended to use the corsets for 6 weeks.
Liposuction
Liposuction (fat removal surgery) is a surgical technique in which excess fat in the body is manually disintegrated and then pulled out of the body through a hollow tube called as cannula.
Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the operation varies according to the area to be performed.
Neck
upper arm
breast (especially in men)
abdomen and its circumference
back
hips
inner and outer sides of the thighs
the inner parts of the knees are the most suitable areas of the body for liposuction.
After the liposuction surgery, the patient returns to his/her daily activities in 7-10 days. The patient is recommended to wear a corset for 6 weeks. The complete result takes around 2-6 months.
* As the cannula enters in the body through the incisions millimetrically, the postoperative scars will be indistinct.
* Liposuction is definitely not a slimming method. It is an operation to shape the body regionally.
* Having liposuction does not mean that you will not gain weight again. It is very important to pay attention to healthy nutrition and exercise after surgery.
Thigh Lift
Thigh; It is also the anatomical area known as the upper leg between the hip and knee.
With over weight gain/loss or aging (which cannot be corrected by exercise and diet), loosening and sagging may occur in the thigh skin. In addition to looking bad in appearance, it can be bothersome while walking due to rubbing of both legs against each other. These problems can only be managed with thigh (upper leg) lift surgery.
Thigh lift surgery is a surgical operation performed under general anesthesia. With an incision from the groin area to the knee of the patient, excess skin and fat are removed and the incision is tightly closed. The liposuction method is also performed together in the parts where lipoidosis is very dense. This incision is made from the inside of the thigh. The operation takes approximately 1.5-2 hours. The duration of hospital stay is usually 1 day.
After the thigh lift operation, the patient is recommended to wear a corset for 6 weeks. The patient can return to daily activities within 7-10 days.
* Since the incision scar remains on the inside of the thigh and it will decrease over time, there won’t be a bad appearance when viewed from the front.

Fats taken from various parts of the body (waist, hips, lower and upper sides of the butt) using liposuction method are intensified with special processes and injected into the butt. (In this application, the patient’s own fat is used..)
2- Buttocks Prosthesis
Prostheses (implants) are placed into the muscle by applying an incision made on the joins of two butts.
*The implants used in the buttocks prosthesis are not the same as the implants used in the breast prosthesis. The implants used in the buttocks prosthesis are firmer than used in the breast prosthesis.
*Since the prostheses are placed between two butts, the incision scar is not visible.
3- Buttocks Lift
Skin loosening and collapse may occur due to over weight loss (especially those undergone bariatric sleeve gastrectomy) or aging. In such cases, only fat injection and prosthesis are not enough. The skin is removed from the lower part of the abdomen and the top of the buttocks, and the hip area is lifted up by a sling operation.

Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia, which means female-type breast enlargement seen in men, negatively affects the appearance of the person. It can be seen in one or both breasts.
There can be many reasons for the formation of gynecomastia. Such as hormonal disorders, weight loss/gain, regular medication, alcohol and drug use and some types of cancer, etc.
Gynecomastia Types
⁃ Breast tissue induced (glandular gynecomastia)
⁃ Fat tissue induced (lipomatous gynecomastia)
⁃ Both breast and fat tissue induced (mixed-type gynecomastia). The most appropriate treatment for a gynecomastia on excess fat tissue is liposuction. Excess fat inside are taken out by entering through two apertures of 1 cm. For a gynecomastia on excess breast tissue, liposuction is not enough. The mammary gland is reduced with a moon-shaped incision under the nipple. Gynecomastia surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
