BREAST AESTHETICS
What is breast aesthetics?
Loss of shape in the breast may develop due to weight loss, post-pregnancy problems, or congenital minor breast problems. Over time, with aging and gravity added to all the above factors, a noticeable reduction and sagging of the breast tissue occur. To solve all these possible problems, you can have breast surgery based on your needs and achieve your desired breast size. During breast augmentation surgeries, mainly silicone implants are used. Sometimes fat injections can be made to achieve a more natural appearance. The most important thing to pay attention to during this surgery is the symmetry of the breasts and their appropriate appearance.
-Who can have breast augmentation surgery?
• Those who are not satisfied with the size of their breasts
• Those who experience loss of fullness or form in their breasts
• Those who have symmetrical problems
• Those who have self-confidence problems
• Patients who have lost their breasts from different diseases
-How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?
Before performing a breast augmentation surgery, it is essential to do the correct planning. Our doctors choose the most appropriate method for each case. At this point, it is necessary to rely on the experience of the doctor and the latest technology.
If breast augmentation surgery is done by using silicone implants, based on the case, the doctor will plan with which method the procedure will be performed. The most common form is to complete the process with a small incision under the breast. This way, it is possible to place the silicone implant under the muscle or above the power impeccably.
With the incision performed on the line naturally formed under the breast, it is easy to disguise the appearance of the scar. Apart from this, silicone implants can also be inserted from the armpit, belly button, or nipple, but with these last-mentioned methods, the position of the implant may change or may not be placed correctly. This is one of the reasons that our doctors prefer to perform this surgery by doing a small incision under the breast.
-Silicone breast implants
Breast implants are of various types in content, shape, and superficial structure.
Breast implant prostheses have two types of shapes.
These are;
1-Drop-shape anatomical prosthesis
2-Round shape prosthesis
In drop shape prostheses, the length of the vertical diameter is longer than the horizontal diameter. The anatomical definition of drop shape prosthesis is that it is very close to the breast’s natural shape.
In round shape prostheses, horizontal and vertical base diameters are equal.
-Post-Surgery Recovery Process
The patient recovery process after breast augmentation surgery is relatively fast. Since it is possible to perform the procedure with a small incision, there is no extreme discomfort. The method of getting used to your new breasts takes a few days. You may take a shower on the second day by wearing waterproof bras. During the check-ups after two weeks, your recovery will be essentially permanent.
You may have pain for a few days after the procedure, and the doctor recommends painkillers. We recommend you follow the doctor’s advice for the recovery so you can have a much safer and faster recovery process.
Based on patient feedback, breast augmentation surgery is one of the most satisfying aesthetic surgeries. When they see themselves in the mirror, even just a few weeks after the surgery, they can see the results and realize the changes in their body.
-Breastfeeding After Silicon Implant Prosthesis Surgery
Silicone prosthesis implanted during breast augmentation surgery does not prevent breastfeeding in any way. Silicon Implant Prostheses are safe as the liquids can not flow through the nipple to the child. It is also a fact that these prostheses do not make breastfeeding difficult for the baby. You can safely have silicone prosthesis implants and also be able to have a normal breastfeeding process.
–What is breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction operations are described as applications that provide a comfortable process for women who complain about the size of their breasts. The large size of the breasts brings several health problems, especially back-to-be, posture problems, fatigue, skin ruptures with sweating under the breast tissue, and skeletal system disorders. Large breasts also cause women to be unable to wear the clothes they want with their aesthetic appearance, and the loss of pride that comes with this leads women to breast reduction surgeries.
-Who can have breast reduction surgery?
• Those with reasonably larger breasts
• Those who have sagging problems in addition to their large breasts
• Those who can’t wear whatever outfit they want to work out big breasts
• Those with skin problems, waist and back pain, and posture disorders
• Those with breasts that are too large to do physical activities
• Non-aesthetic image, those who have a loss of self-confidence
• Those who have orthopedic problems such as hand numbness, loss of posture
-How is breast reduction surgery performed?
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Fat tissues in the breast and excess skin outside the breast are removed from the existing area. At the same rate, the nipples, which grow over time, are also reduced to a size suitable for their final form. The problem of sagging, one of the biggest problems in large breasts, is solved by including the lifting process during the surgery. In breast reduction surgeries, breast size is considered, and the reduction process is performed using personalized techniques. Although the sutures vary according to the method used, they are usually in the form of an inverted T and in sizes that fade over time and do not cause non-aesthetic problems for the patient.
-How many scars are left after the breast reduction operation?
Breast reduction surgeries must be planned very well. We aim to cause the minimum scars during the procedure, focusing primarily on the aesthetic appearance of these parts as they must be lived healthily and beautifully. The vertical incision made under the nipple and along the under-breast, which we call inverted T, is the one that will fade over time and is invisible as a significant part remains under the breast. However, since each scar growth will be different in breast size, it also shows the technique and incision route used. No matter which technique is used during the surgery, scar-mark talk sensibilization is one of the most critical issues to be discussed with the patient; a guaranteed healing process is provided after the minimum scar they use.
-After breast reduction surgery
Personalized breast reduction surgery is among the best feedback predictions that a woman’s breast structure, symmetry, and degree of sagging are different. The technique shows that the results will be different from each other. First, it enables the doctor to complete a past maturation process with minimal traces. A new breast structure is achieved aesthetically and physically. The patient will have to do arm movements for a day or two; on average, the incisions will begin to silicify in a few weeks. Immediately after the operation, great relief, reduction in waist and back pain, and even a rapid collapse in other health problems are observed.
-Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift surgeries are surgical interventions that help solve the problem of sagging breasts in women.
-Most typical reasons for sagging breasts;
Breasts sag and lose shape due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, genetics, and rapid weight loss. This negatively affects patients psychologically, along with a decrease in their self-confidence.
With breast lift surgery, women can have upright and firmer breasts again.
Who can have breast lift surgery?
• Those who have problems with their breasts after breastfeeding.
• Those with saggy breasts due to rapid weight gain and loss.
• Those with sagging breasts due to age and the effect of gravity.
• Those who experience nipple halos and enlargement in the areola area.
• Those who have self-confidence problems due to their sagging breasts.
• Those who cannot wear the clothes they want because of their sagging breasts.
How is a breast lift surgery performed?
Breast lift surgery is often performed simultaneously with breast augmentation or reduction surgeries. Breast lift is performed under general anesthesia and starts with reducing the areola area, if any. The point to be noted here is that breast lift surgery alone will not change your breasts’ size. The breasts are brought to their original shape and have a decent recovery and completion level. If there is a small or excessive size in the breasts, it is possible to reach the desired breast size in the same surgery.
After a breast lift surgery
The patient is discharged from the hospital after staying overnight. Besides the pain that decreases with painkillers on the first day, pain on the following days will be slightly lower.
After the surgery, it is entirely normal to have swelling and bruises around the breast, which usually lasts for two weeks. In some patients, drains are placed in the breast and usually removed within the next 1-2 days.
Sports bras are worn for 3-4 weeks after the surgery. If the patient does not work in jobs requiring heavy physical activity, she can return to work after the third day. Staying away from heavy exercise and working out for about a month is recommended.
Breast lift surgeries can give an excellent image of the breast and pleasing results. However, it should not be forgotten that there may be slight sagging after the surgery if the patient goes through a pregnancy, breastfeeding, rapid weight gain, age, or due to gravity.
How many scars are left from the breast lift operation?
We prefer the most natural methods for breast lift operations to provide our patients with the most diminutive scar formation. For this reason, we use the vertical scar-free central pedicle technique in breast lift operations, which must be done from an aesthetic point of view. This very innovative technique gives the most reasonable and appropriate oval form to the breast and ensures the completion of the process with the slightest scar trace. Thanks to this technique, we can handle breast tissue and skin separately and perform the procedure without putting a potential burden on the skin structure.
Thanks to this technique, which considers health factors and aesthetic appearance in a breast lift surgery, we also provide advantages such as feeding the whole structure with blood circulation and avoiding a sensory problem in the nipple. In addition, the vertical scarless central pedicle technique allows our patients to feel minor pain after breast lift surgery and go home without needing hospitalization.
FACIAL AESTHETICS
Face Lift
Unfortunately, we feel the first signs of aging in our facial area. Facial skin tissue that cannot resist gravity and the decrease in the facial volume are the first indicators of the onset of aging.
What is a facelift?
If you want to renew and rejuvenate your face and even stop time, facelift surgery may be the solution for you. In facelift surgery, the sagging skin of the face and neck, and even the fat under the chin, if any, can be removed, and it can be performed within the regeneration and revitalization planning of the whole facelift surgery.
Who can have a facelift aesthetic?
• Sagging skin on the face
• Wrinkles around the mouth
• Reduction in the volume of facial fat
• Non-aesthetic neck formation
• Sagging of the chin and jowl skin
• Those who have self-confidence problems due to loss of form in the entire face area
How is facelift surgery performed?
Facelift surgeries are divided into the upper face section containing the forehead and eyebrows, the middle face section including the eye level and its surroundings, and the lower face section including the mouth, chin, and neck region according to the area of the current problem. The purpose of facial rejuvenation surgeries; is to tighten the sagged and loosened skin tissues in different parts of the face in their original places and to tighten the skin by removing the excess sagging skin.
In facelift surgery, scars are hidden in the scalp in the temple area, in the natural folds in front of and behind the ear. Since the surgical scars are hidden, they are not obvious.
Eyelid surgeries, skin peeling, fillers, and botox in combination with facelift surgeries also increase the success of this surgery.
How does a facelift aesthetic scar look?
In traditional facelift surgeries, the incision is usually made just inside the forehead hairline, and the incision continues around the ear and ends in the lower scalp. The adipose tissue is arranged under the chin, face, and neck; the excess is removed and repositioned. The aging and sagging neck are rearranged by incisions under the ear. The area around the ears, eyelids, and upper lip is shaped by making small incisions for repositioning. In closing the incisions, aesthetic procedures are performed the with utmost. The incisions are closed by hiding inside the hairline and the natural ear line.
After Face Lift Surgery
What are the points to be considered in the postoperative period?
After the operation, the patient stays in the hospital for one night and is discharged afterward.
Although pain is not a common situation, pain can be felt and easily relieved by painkillers. Swelling and bruises on the face are possible. In some cases, drains are placed to be removed after one or two days. However, swelling and bruises will almost completely disappear within one to two weeks. After this period, the patient can return to his daily life.
The effective period for appropriate facelift surgeries performed on suitable patients may last from eight to ten years. However, it is helpful to keep in mind that aging also continues in the postoperative period too.
Neck Lift
Usually, the face and neck are treated as a whole area, and the neck region is an inseparable part of it. If there is a problem in your neck area, you will not be able to achieve the desired result by just having a facelift. For this reason, the issue should be looked at as a whole and your neck lift planning should be realized in this direction.
What is a Neck Lift?
Connected to the face the neck area is one of the areas where signs of aging are first felt, such as the face. Loose, deflated balloon appearance in the neck, excess fat tissue, muscle structure that has succumbed to gravity, deformities called turkey neck, and prominent tickle structure are among the main subjects of neck lift operations. In addition, although at a young age, we can observe neck sagging that develops due to genetic reasons or weight gain.
Surgical Neck Lift
Neck lift operations are always considered during the facelift surgical procedure. In neck lift surgery, which starts under local or general anesthesia, an incision is made starting from the front of the ears, to the back of the ear, towards the hair area, and to the natural jaw line. The surgeons suggest that the neck region is expressed as a continuation and integral part of the face and performed together with facelift surgeries.
A small amount of edema and bruising may occur after neck lift surgery. The sagging and out-of-form muscle struct following excess in fat tissue and skin are cut and removed by the existing structure. The reshaped channel is closed by stitching again from the incisions. Based on the condition of our patient, staying overnight in hospital after the surgery may be recommended.
Who can have Neck Lift Surgery?
• Those who experience wrinkles, deflated balloon appearance, sagging, and loss of form on their Neck
• Those who experience deformation in their neck muscles
• Those who have a turkey neck appearance
• Those who have sagging salivary glands
Eyelid aesthetic
Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty)
A healthy eye and eye area show the person is young, dynamic, and lively. Excess skin and fat on the upper eyelid, bags, pits, and lines on the lower eyelid are the leading complaints about the eyelid. People who experience these complaints have tired, old, sad, restless facial expressions. For this reason, they may be exposed to the questions of the people around them about their appearance, and their self-confidence and social life may be affected.

In aesthetic upper eyelid surgery, it is possible to remove fat bags and excess skin on the upper eyelid.
2. Lower eyelid surgery
In aesthetic lower eyelid surgery, excess skin and bags are removed. However, when there are additional dimples caused by aging the excess draws are removed and this extracted fat is used to fill these visible pits. This way, pitting is corrected along with bagging by giving a perfect look to the lower eyelid.
Who Can Have Eyelid Aesthetics?
Experiencing a deformation of the upper and lower eyelids, which loosen due to aging and sagging in the direction of fat extension is very common. The reason eyelid aesthetics is so widely performed is to eliminate this problem, which helps the patient get rid of the appearance of fatigue and eye bags, especially within the scope of facial rejuvenation applications. The stretchy build of eyelid skin causes the “hooded” appearance on the upper eyelids. The most common complaint in the lower eyelid is swelling or eye bags. All these problems can be solved with eyelid aesthetic surgery also known as blepharoplasty. Those who have all these problems can have eyelid aesthetics. In some patients, these eyelid defects may occur due to genetic reasons, although their primary problem is not their age or health as some are still in middle age or even younger. A relaxed and lively eye contour can be created by performing eyelid aesthetics on young or middle-aged patients.
After eyelid surgery
After the operation, the patient recovers within 3-4 days and starts to look at life with a younger look around the eyes, with a fresher and more self-confident look.

Cat Eye and Almond Eye aesthetics
What are Cat Eye and Almond Eye Aesthetics?
Cat Eyes, also known as Canthopexy, is a surgical technique used to lift the outer corners of the eyes, correct droopy eyelids, and provide extra eyelid support after upper or lower blepharoplasty. Almond eye and Cat eye can be considered as the same surgery the difference from each other is the rate of slanting. Cat eyes and almond eyes are ideal for changing a tired or sad expression on the face to a positive mood.
For giving a younger look to the eye area by obtaining the ” cat’s eye, or “almond eye” image, which has been popularly used for this eyelid aesthetic recently.
In cat eyes – almond eye aesthetics collects the drooping, loose lower eyelid and reshapes and repositions the end of the upper eyelid. This procedure is done on the outer corner of the eyelid to reconstruct the weakened or stretched eyelid, raising the outer corners of the eyes and improving their overall shape, fixing the lower eyelid.
During the Cat Eyes and Almond Eyes surgery, the lower eyelid tissues (muscle and tars) lateral cantal are passed under the tendon and sutured to the periosteum, that is, to the bone membrane. The surgery is completed by pulling less. A minimally invasive approach is used for this procedure, and better eye skin distribution is achieved with hidden scars. Cat Eyes and almond eyes are also aesthetically more attractive.
Forehead Lift – Brow Lift
As an effect of aging, stress, genetics, nutritional habits, and gravity, deep wrinkles on the forehead, low eyebrows, and lines between the eyebrows, frown eyebrows can be seen. This causes people to look tired, sad, and angry.
Forehead lift and eyebrow lift are aesthetic surgery applications to rejuvenate the upper part of the face, correct the lines on the forehead and wrinkles between the eyebrows, and lift the eyebrows that fall due to aging.
How is the surgery done?
The surgery is performed with two different techniques:
1. Open surgery
In forehead lift surgery performed with open surgery, the forehead area is freed with an incision from the scalp, and the underlying muscles are intervened. Then the excess skin is removed, and tension is provided.
2. Endoscopic methods
It is applied with a few small incisions from the scalp. Stretching and cleaning the muscles are always done from the inside. The surgery takes 2-3 hours under general anesthesia. Drains are placed in the forehead area to be removed after one day.
What are the points to be considered after the surgery?
Although pain is experienced in the first few days, it can be reduced with painkillers. Swelling can be seen in the forehead and around the eyes, which will disappear after about 3-5 days. To minimize post-operative swelling, a bandage is used, the head is kept elevated, and cold compresses are applied. After about 10 days, the stitches are removed. The patient is usually discharged after one day of hospitalization.
Rhinoplasty
Nose Aesthetics
Rhinoplasty is one of the most applied surgical procedures in the world. Since the nose is in the middle of the face and makes an effective contribution to facial beauty, during this surgery, internal and external deformities of the nose, which are aesthetically problematic and cause health problems, are corrected.
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty surgeries are planned with an approach that prioritizes the patient’s psychology, keeping the comfort in the healing process and with the awareness that facial beauty is a whole.
Nose aesthetics, also known as Rhinoplasty, are aesthetic surgery performed to reshape the nose. In this surgery, the nose size can be enlarged or reduced; the angle of the nose with the upper lip can be changed; The position of the tip of the nose can be changed, or the problems caused by any blow to the nose, the natural non-aesthetic appearance can be corrected.
In Rhinoplasty surgery, the surgeon makes incisions inside the nose or on the upper skin of the nose, using different techniques to access the cartilage and bones that support the nose. It is tried to be made into the nose as much as possible so that the incisions are usually invisible after the surgery. After rearranging and reshaping the surgical bone and cartilage, making them suitable for the structure of the nose, final adjustments are made. Depending on the desired result, some bone and cartilage can be removed, or tissue can be added (from another part of the body or using a synthetic filler).
A splint can be placed outside the nose to support the newly formed nasal structure and assist in recovery. The term rhinoplasty is derived from the word “Rhinoplastic,” meaning “changing the shape of the nose.” The technique primarily involves accessing the bone and cartilage support of the nose. In other words, this can only be achieved through incisions made inside the nose where we cannot see it. In some cases, an incision is made in the area of the skin that separates the nostrils. The underlying bone and cartilage are then reduced, increased, or rearranged to form a newly formed structure. For example, if the tip of the nose is too large, the surgeon can reduce its size by shaping the cartilage in this area.
If the nose bridge is high and protruding, this can be reduced to give a more pleasing profile. If any part of the nose appears disproportionately small, cartilage or soft tissue grafts may be placed to fit the entire face better. The nose angles associated with the upper lip or forehead can be changed by further shaping the nose support structure.
The tissues are redrawn on the new frame, and the incisions are closed. A small plastic splint can be applied to the nose outside to minimize swelling and help maintain the unique shape while the nose heals. To maintain its softness along the dividing wall of the air passages, called the septum, in the nose, a soft absorbent material, namely tampons, can be used. Soft nasal supports that allow nasal breathing can be placed after the operation. But all of these are possibilities that vary from patient to patient. Even minor corrections to the nose can make a difference in overall facial harmony. Most patients report little pain after surgery, or any discomfort is easily controlled with mild pain medication.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty operations are an operation that can be performed after the person’s developmental age ends. The nose must take its final shape, so the growth development must be completed. In addition, the psychological aspect of this development is examined by specialists and experienced doctors.
How is rhinoplasty performed?
Rhinoplasty surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. It must be completed in the operating room under hospital conditions with appropriate equipment. The operations are performed with a closed or open technique. The operation time lasts between 1-3 hours.
Nose Aesthetics
These are classical nose surgeries applied to the arched or deformed nose structure due to an impact. The issue we pay the most attention to in nose surgeries is the patient’s age and gender. In addition, the new nose design is aimed to be suitable for the entire facial contour and to be made within the framework of a plan designed for the absolute person.
Secondary Nose Aesthetics or Secondary rhinoplasty, also called revision rhinoplasty, is a surgery we apply to patients who have had previous rhinoplasty. Patients with a collapsed nose cannot have the nose they want and have problems such as not breathing or smelling after recovery can have secondary rhinoplasty.
After Rhinoplasty
Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
The patient stays in the hospital for one night as a precaution. In some cases, temporary bruising and swelling occur after nose surgery. However, after a certain period, this situation disappears. If tampons are placed, they are removed after 2-4 days, and after 6-8 days, where bone healing is thought to occur partially, the splints placed on the nose are removed. If open rhinoplasty is performed, recovery is seen by leaving a faint scar.
During the first few days, it is possible to see very light leaks and light blockages. In the first month, there may be swelling in the nose due to surgery, which may affect breathing slightly. This swelling is removed with the medication recommended by the doctor.
The time to start work after the surgery depends on the technique of the surgery, the procedures performed, the patient’s recovery potential, the work performed by the patient, and the environment in which they live. It is recommended for people who work very actively to start work between 7-10 days after the surgery. If patients who work at a desk do not care about the appearance of their splints in the nose, they can start work on the fourth day.
Some external factors should also be considered during the treatment process. Smoking negatively affects the healing process. It should be protected from sunlight for three months. Since there is no incision after closed surgeries, there is no need to take extra protection against sunlight, but it should be remembered that; Protection from the sun is always essential to prevent premature skin aging. Swimming, running, and similar activities are restricted for specific periods according to the procedures and techniques used. Obtaining additional information from the doctor about using contact lenses and glasses is recommended.
Complete recovery after nose surgeries takes place after 3-6 months.
Plasters and tampons, which fully recover rhinoplasty in a healthy healthily most feared issues for many patients. Today, we would want you to know that breathing is much easier with perforated bumpers. In addition, the tampons placed on your nose are painlessly removed after one or two days, and the plaster is removed after an average of 1 week.
BODY AESTHETIC
Tummy Tuck – Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is an operation that develops due to excess skin after giving birth and frequent weight gain and also helps to genetically solve possible aesthetic problems in the abdomen. The abdominal region, which has a structure that helps to protect a large part of our internal organs, is one of the areas where regional fat is most common in our body.
What is a tummy tuck?
Excess weight gain and loss, hormonal conditions, lubrication in the abdomen after previous pregnancies, sagging of the skin, formation of skin cracks, and laxity of the abdominal muscles. In these cases, tummy tuck surgery is applied.
Especially people with sagging abdominal skin and abdominal muscle laxity that do not improve with proper diet and exercise are suitable candidates for tummy tuck surgery. Abdominoplasty should be considered more as a tummy tuck surgery without losing weight.
Before deciding on tummy tuck surgery, it is recommended to lose and reduce to the ideal weight if the patient is overweight. Since the abdominal skin thickness is high in overweight patients, it is not easy to achieve as good results as in normal-weight patients. Therefore, diet and exercise are recommended first. Patients who come for sagging after losing weight with exercise and diet are among the most suitable.
What exactly does a tummy tuck cover?
The area of surgical interest of the tummy tuck is the area starting from the bottom of the last rib and the mons till the region up to the pubis. The pubis is the fluffy hairy area at the bottom of the cesarean section, also known as the Venus mound. The problem of excessive fat in the abdomen is one of the issues that not only women but also men suffer from. Especially those who consume high-value foods in terms of carbohydrates have fatter in the abdominal region.
Although fat accumulation is tried to be prevented with strict diet lists, the deterioration of the skin structure and the inability to eliminate this fat bring tummy tuck operations to the agenda. Individuals who have lost a considerable amount of weight can only achieve successful results with tummy tuck surgery, from enlarged and sagging skin tissue and skin cracks that cannot be eliminated with today’s technology.
Individuals experience psychological and health problems due to being unable to wear the clothes they want and limited physical movements such as bending forward due to this sagging tissue, and in some cases, bacteria formation due to perspiration.
Who can have tummy tuck surgery?
• Those who have fat accumulation in the abdomen
• Those who experience cracks in the abdominal skin tissue and skin deformation
• Those who have damage to the inner abdominal muscles
• Those who experience wrapping, excess skin, and loss of form
• Those who want to get rid of this non-aesthetic appearance
How is tummy tuck surgery done?
Abdominoplasty operations are surgical operations performed under general anesthesia. The surgery starts with the incision made just inside the cesarean section line. Intra-abdominal muscles are strengthened and tightened. Then the problematic fat layer is removed from the body. If needed pubis and lumbar cavity are redesigned. If female patients also complain of loss of form in the breast area, breast augmentation aesthetics can be included in the tummy tuck operation. In this optional combined application, no incision is made for the silicone implant in the breast, and the implant is placed in the chest area through the ready-made abdominal incision. Afterward, a new bellybutton hole is created for the navel located in the excess skin area is removed, and the incision is closed.
Location of the new belly button
The most important but constantly overlooked subject of abdominal aesthetics is the location of the newly created belly button. The new belly button should be formed at the level of the two pelvis bones, considering the body proportion. A belly button that has not been relocated where it should be creates a different appearance, causing individuals to have an unesthetic appearance.
What are the points to be considered after the surgery?
Drains are placed in the surgical area to be removed after 1 – 4 days to prevent the accumulation of blood and fluids, otherwise called a seroma. In the first few days, the pain is felt less with painkillers. Day by day, the pain decreases, and the patient begins to feel better.
It is recommended for patients to walk by leaning forward to avoid tension in the suture line, especially in the first few days, and to sleep with a pillow on their back.
If the patient does not work in a heavy job, he returns to work after an average of 1-2 weeks. However, using a corset for about 1-1.5 months is recommended.
It takes an average of 6-12 months for the swelling in the abdomen to pass completely and the abdomen to take the desired state. After tummy tuck surgery, patients should pay attention to their weight and avoid excessive weight gain.
Patients who have a heavy weight and are planning to lose this weight, and those who plan to get pregnant in the future after losing their excess weight, should postpone this surgery until after delivery.
Arm and Leg Lift
It is possible to see sagging and cracks in the arms and legs after excessive weight loss in the arm and leg area and sagging due to decreased skin elasticity in advanced ages or genetic predisposition at an earlier age.
Conditions such as loosening and reducing the subcutaneous support tissue in the arms and legs and excessive or inappropriate accumulation of adipose tissue may cause the need for this surgery on the arms and legs.
With arm and leg lift surgery, you can have more tense, younger-looking arms and legs.
In arm lift surgery, the excess fat, skin, and subcutaneous tissue in the inner part of the problematic area is removed. Then, the arm lift surgery is terminated to ensure the arm’s natural and youthful appearance as before. Sometimes liposculpture methods can be included as auxiliary methods in arm lift surgeries.
Medications are given for your convenience during the surgical procedure. Your doctor will make the best choice for you, and the surgery is started with sedation or general anesthesia. The length and form of the incision to be made into the arm vary according to the amount of excess skin removed. Depending on the surgeon’s preference, the incisions are made on the inside or the back of the arm and are made only in the area from the elbow to the armpit. After the incision, liposuction or different fat transfer methods are applied to remove the fatty part. The arm muscles and adipose tissue are reshaped, and the closing phase is started. Arm lift incisions are usually closed with removable or absorbable sutures.
How is the surgery done?
Excess and drooping skin and subcutaneous excesses are removed by making appropriate incisions from the right areas. As a result of the surgery, there may be scars on invisible parts of the body. These scars are usually in the area close to the armpit and the inner part of the arm, which are the least visible places for the arms when viewed from the outside. For leg lift surgery, the groin area is hidden in the inner part of the leg, and the fold area located under the hip. Liposuction surgery is often performed together with arm lift surgery. This way, it is possible to reduce the subcutaneous fat tissue more and remove more sagging skin.
After Arm Lift Surgery
You will be very comfortable after the arm lift and leg lift surgery. Swelling and bruising in your arms and legs and slightness in these areas will be observed in approximately two weeks. We recommend that you leave the hospital with information about the recovery process you must apply after you go home.
Return to Normal Life After Arm and Leg Lift Surgery
Arm and Leg stretching operations are operations for that we receive excellent feedback. The healing time of the first wound is observed in 5 to 10 days. 2 weeks after the operation, the swelling dissipates, and the incision lines begin to fade. In the meantime, the patient can return to his everyday life. After arm lift surgery, heavy physical sports activities should be avoided for two months. You can maintain your rejuvenated appearance with lifelong weight control and arm and leg exercises. In addition, a healthy lifestyle also benefits the longevity of results.
Liposuction
A balanced fat distribution and a proportional contour line are among the basic elements of an attractive human body. Many people suffer from the problem of regional fat accumulation, which they cannot dissolve and shape despite their diet and exercise. The liposuction procedure is a highly modern application that provides a solution to this stubborn and regional lubrication problem that makes the general body line look non-aesthetic. With the liposuction procedure, your existing lines can be modified, and the desired shape form can be created.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure applied to shape and regulate the human body’s unbalanced fat distribution. Liposuction, an effective remedy for the problem of regional fat accumulation, is also used as an auxiliary element in many aesthetic surgery procedures. For example, liposuction is used in gynecomastia surgeries and applied for breast enlargement problems in male patients. In crooked leg correction operations, fat is collected from another part of the patient and added to the problematic area to camouflage the deformity. In short, liposuction is a frequently used application to improve the results of recent aesthetic surgery and to make it more effective.
When liposuction surgeries are used purely without being combined with any other procedure, it is mainly applied to the stubborn regional fat accumulation problem that does not respond to diet and exercise. To create a natural contour, this area, which has oily and protruding issues, can be removed with liposuction and shaped like a sculpture.
How is liposuction done?
Liposuction is an application that can be performed under local anesthesia when it is not used as an auxiliary technique in another aesthetic surgery procedure. General anesthesia may also be preferred. Your plastic surgeon decides on your type of anesthesia, and the areas where the process will be performed are designed with a pencil. One or more small incisions are made near the treatment area. Depending on the technique, thin cannulas or thin tubes are inserted through these incisions. Under the surgeon’s direction, the instrument’s vibration allows the fat under the skin to be melted and extracted. The duration of the procedure varies according to the size of the area and the amount of fat removed.
After liposuction
With today’s advanced liposuction techniques, swelling, bruising, or skin fluctuation problems are minimal. Although it varies depending on your pain threshold, many patients can get through their healing without using painkillers. Many patients can resume their daily lives a few days after the procedure, depending on the size of the procedure and the physical intensity of their current lives.
After liposuction, your surgeon may recommend wearing a corset when necessary. This precautionary application is applied to prevent the skin’s contraction and the formation of swelling. Small incision scars heal within a few weeks and disappear entirely after one year.
Which areas is liposuction applied to?
The areas where excess fat can be removed by liposuction are the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, knees, ankles, arms, breasts, face, and jowl.
Butt aesthetics – Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift is a kind of butt lift and augmentation surgery that makes the hips look younger, natural, and more in shape. Our patients who do not like the appearance of their hips can have butt aesthetics regardless of size, shape, or sagging skin.
How is Butt Aesthetics Performed?
There are various techniques in butt lift-lift operations. Usually, fat is taken from the hip area and injected into the butt area. Fat injection, prosthesis, and filler injection can be used during the procedure. Patients with volume loss can also be treated with a natural prosthesis created from their own body fat.
Butt lift surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The operation takes up to 2 hours.
In incision surgeries, the butt is surgically pulled up, and a flap is prepared from the body. This acts as a natural prosthesis. This method is mainly used in older patients.
Recovery and Outcome
The recovery period after buttock aesthetics may vary depending on age, health, and physical or environmental conditions.
No sutures are made in the application. Processing is done with micro inputs. You don’t have to wear a bandage. You can return to your social life immediately after the operation. Still, we recommend you not lift heavy weights, run, and avoid activities requiring physical strength within one week after the surgery. The more you rest, the faster you will recover.
Advantages
• Tight and natural result
• A refreshed appearance and healthy skin texture
• Fast recovery
• Getting rid of regional fats
• Balanced waist, hip play
Gynecomastia
The uncontrolled growth of breast tissue in men and the aesthetic intervention that eliminates this problem is called gynecomastia surgery.
What causes breast enlargement in men?
Gynecomastia is one of the aesthetic problems for men of this age. An unhealthy diet, uncontrolled use of additives by the food industry, and hormonal changes mostly cause underlying breast tissue growth. In addition, sedentary lifestyles are also thought to trigger breast growth. Other factors that cause breast enlargement in men are drugs that are compulsorily used due to health problems. Other causes of gynecomastia include alcohol and drug use, hypogonadism, aging, tumors, hyperthyroidism, kidney and liver failure, and malnutrition that will disrupt hormonal balance.
Gynecomastia is most at risk of being seen in adolescents or those over 60, those who use steroids or androgen-containing supplements for athletic performance, and those with certain chronic diseases.
How is Gynecomastia surgery performed?
The gynecomastia surgery, performed under general anesthesia in the operating room environment, is completed in approximately 1-2 hours. The plastic surgeon first makes a consultation and determines which method to use in gynecomastia surgery according to the nature of the growth in the breast. In gynecomastia caused by adipose tissue, the liposuction technique is applied. In this technique, the fatty tissues are melted by ultrasonic sound waves and extracted from the body by vacuuming them. A 3-4 millimeter incision is made in the treated area to remove the liquefied fat from the body, and vacuuming is performed with the help of a cannula (thin tube). Since the incisions made for the cannulas are millimetric, no scars are left on the skin after the application.
The surgical method is used as a solution for gynecomastia caused by both fat and breast tissue. In the surgical method, the incision is made in the shape of a half-moon at the transition point between the nipple and the skin so that the scar can be hidden entirely. In this method, excess skin can be removed as well as fat and breast tissue. Gynecomastia surgery is performed with an aesthetic approach and using up-to-date technology, and completed without leaving visible scars and in a way that cannot be seen from the outside. After the surgery, the patient is discharged on the same day or one day later. If the patient does not work in a job that requires physical performance, he can quickly return to his daily life after 3-4 days.
Advantages of incisionless gynecomastia surgery
• It can be done under local or general anesthesia
• It is applied in a short time
• It is done with micro-entries without making any incisions
• It is possible to switch to social life immediately after the operation
• Does not damage nerves and vessels
• Swelling, bruising, and pain are minimal
• Provides maximum comfort to the patient
Vagina Aesthetics
Vaginal aesthetic surgery is a surgical operation performed to eliminate genetic changes and changes suffered after birth in the female genitalia.
What is vaginal aesthetics?
We know that any problem in the vagina causes psychological or social issues in women and affects the sexual life of couples. For this reason, vaginal aesthetic surgeries, which help to leave all these problems behind, are performed based on excellent care and confidentiality.
Personal and feminine instincts underlie the increasing demands of women against Vaginal Aesthetics in recent years. Just like the facial area, the philosophy of rejuvenation has to apply to the vagina aesthetics. That’s why this technique is called also Genital Beautification. An aesthetic vagina, which significantly affects the woman’s self-confidence, helps her have a healthier and more satisfying sex life with her partner and also helps to eliminate possible problems that may occur in this area. Vaginal aesthetics should be considered a whole application; this way, only success is achieved, and the vagina attains the desired aesthetic form.
Genital Beautification, Vagina Tightening
The Genital Beautification technique underlines the first step of a healthy sexual life, self-confidence, and togetherness that should be mutually satisfactory. Factors such as uncontrolled births, high-weight babies, the physiological aging process, and hormonal fluctuations cause this area to wear out quickly and experience problems such as loss of form.
The relaxation problems experienced in the vagina area also cause many issues, especially the loss of self-confidence, which causes couples not to get the sexual pleasure they should have. In the Genital Beautification technique, a small amount of fat is taken from the regional fat of the patient and enriched with stem cells. This fat, injected into areas with relaxation problems, allows the vagina to narrow, rejuvenate with the advantages of stem cells and regain form. After an average of 1 week after this procedure, which is applied without incisions, it is possible to have sexual intercourse.
Genital Beautification, Inner Lip Sagging
The deformities, one of the most common problems in the genital area, reveal especially sagging and asymmetry problems. If we look at the region’s anatomy, we see a curved structure that starts thin and continues along a gradually widening line and tapers again. Usually, the inner lips cannot be expected to be 100% symmetrical, but in some cases, excessive drooping appearance and size can develop both aesthetic concerns and health problems in women. This sagging problem, which can be irritated by rubbing against underwear, also causes problems with beachwear and clothing such as tight pants or tights and can easily cause infections such as fungus due to excess skin. In the Genital Beautification technique, an aesthetic result is obtained efficiently and comfortably by using laser technologies for inner lip sagging. Laser technologies used in correcting internal lip deformities, also known as labiaplasty, also provide significant advantages to the patient during recovery, making it easier to get results quickly.
Pigmentation problem in the vagina – Dark Color in the vagina
Hormonal fluctuations and the use of daily pads cause aesthetic concerns. This pigmentation problem is corrected with the advantages of the stem cell used in fat transfer and turns into a healthy skin color.
Genital Beautification and Clitoris
The hairy area between the cesarean section and the clitoris Mons Pubis – is the bulge of Venus. Excess fat in this area causes clitoris closure and insufficient stimulation. In addition, this excess of fat in the Venus mound causes problems for many women due to the non-aesthetic appearance that appears when they wear beach clothes. The swelling in this area returns to its normal state by removing the existing fat with minimal point entrances. It both gains an aesthetic form and facilitates stimulation by exposing the clitoris.
Genital Beautification and G spot
“G Shot” is used on the “G Spot,” which we have discussed in the genital beautification technique; it is an area inside the vagina where women are stimulated, except for the clitoris. We know that women have pleasure centers in 2 different places. The first is the clitoris, located just above the urethral opening, and the second is the G-spot area on the anterior wall, 5-6 cm inside the vaginal entrance and with an average width of 3 cm. The G-spot is a structurally rough area, and as it is stimulated during intercourse, it swells and increases sexual pleasure. On the other hand, slightly inflating this erogenous zone increases the effect of friction, facilitates orgasm, and gives more pleasure during sexual intercourse. With the G-spot, which is made ready for arousal, a better sexual life with an increased depth becomes possible.
Genital Beautification and Incontinence
We also solve the possible urinary incontinence problem with the Genital Beautification technique. Unfortunately, the fact that the female reproductive and excretory systems are in different areas brings along some issues. The problem of involuntary urinary incontinence, which significantly affects the quality of life, causes many women to have a hard time even when they sneeze, cough, laugh or startle. Many factors influence deteriorating tissue quality in this area and increasing intra-abdominal pressure. Complicated uncontrolled vaginal deliveries, menopause, overweight, and pregnancy are among the most observed reasons for progress.
The anterior vaginal wall and the urinary bladder are back-to-back, adherent areas. The increase in intra-abdominal pressure due to difficult births and high-weight babies due to different reasons, but the most wearing effect of the support wall over time triggers the problem of urinary incontinence.
Today, 80% of women who give birth vaginally have problems such as deterioration of the vaginal anatomy and weakening pelvic floor muscles. If you have a urinary incontinence problem, we observe that the collagen tissue in the area is not intact and there is loosening in the supporting tissues under the bladder. For this reason, we make involuntary urinary incontinence in two different ways according to the size of the problem in the region.
Surgical Intervention for Urinary Incontinence
It aims to reshape the area in patients with advanced urinary incontinence and severe damage to the region’s anatomy. All muscles and tissues that are sagging, deformed, and make the act of urination involuntary are intervened.
Genital Beautification and Hymen Removal – Hymenoplasty
The hymen is a region in our culture that symbolizes virginity. Religious beliefs and culture of ethnic structures emphasize the importance of chastity, and this structure brings some sanctions. Hymenoplasty operations are frequently performed in our country due to the events that occur due to the hymen and damage the woman’s identity. First of all, we are aware that mental health and positive thinking are much more critical, and we hope that unfortunate events will not occur due to this taboo situation.
The hymen is a region located at the entrance of the vagina and has a different type and feature in every woman. It is not only damaged by sexual intercourse. It can be this way from birth, or it can be torn due to tampon use or other reasons. Hymen implantation is a personal preference, so it can be perfectly restored in line with individual beliefs and wishes for the area’s reconstruction.
How is Vagina Aesthetics Performed?
Genital Beautification is a complete application. Possible problems of the region are identified, and solutions are provided for the problem. The Genital Beautification technique is performed under general anesthesia.
Vagina whitening
The darkening problem in the vagina, one of the possible aesthetic problems of the genital area, can be eliminated with the non-surgical vagina whitening process. The color change observed in most women, especially those who have given birth, is a pigmentation problem. This pigmentation change that occurs in the vulva area, which is located on the outer part of the genital area, occurs mainly due to the dominant estrogen hormone. Especially during pregnancy, it becomes permanent after the female hormone increases, causing women to experience aesthetic concerns.
What is vagina whitening?
It is a laser treatment that solves the pigmentation problem that causes darkening in the vulva region. The device helps you get an excellent response by targeting the dark tissues in the area and with the appropriate dose of light for the area’s sensitivity.
How is vagina whitening done?
Vagina whitening is a painless, scarless, incision-less, and practical procedure that does not affect social life. Local anesthesia can be performed due to the sensitivity of the area. The laser, which scans the area with its specially developed head, targets the existing dark melanin layer, solves the pigmentation problem in the skin tissue, and provides lightening of the color. At the end of the session, which lasts for an average of 15 minutes, the vagina whitening process is completed.
MALE AESTHETICS
Penis Aesthetic Surgery
One of the most critical problems for men is penis size, length, thickness, and functionality. Today, men may complain of various deformities, size problems, thinness, and curvature in their penis, reasons they prefer penile aesthetic surgery. Depending on many reasons or completely in direct proportion to the patient’s request, penile lengthening surgery, penile thickening surgery, penile curvature correction surgery, and circumcision correction surgery can be performed.
What Are Normal Penis Sizes?
The penis in a deflated state can be 5-6 cm. When it comes to an erection, it grows in length and width, gains volume, and lengthens. An erect penis is 13-14 cm on average, but 12 cm above can be considered normal. Penises below this condition (11-12 cm) can be considered short. Again, the fact that the thickness of the penis is thinner than average can cause anxiety in men, and they may demand that it be corrected. Penis thickness can vary more. A penis that looks small and thin in a deflated state may become thicker during an erection.
Penis Lengthening Surgery
In the penis lengthening surgery, in the method our doctors apply, the distance between the penis and the pouches increases. Thus, an elongation is provided in the base of the penis, which is usually present but not visible. This elongation is evident both in the deflated state of the penis and in the erection state. This penis lengthening surgery does not cause any loss of erection, sensation, pleasure, or sensation in the penis.
Again, in some applied penile lengthening surgery techniques, Penis lengthening and augmentation surgeries are mainly performed on the suspensory ligaments of the penis, which are located between the pubis bone and the root of the penis, between the subcutaneous tissue and the bone. It is based on removing the part of the penis remaining inside the body by cutting the ligament. It should be known that this surgery increases the length of the penis in the normal position, not in an erection. In other words, there is no change in the dimensions of the erection. The most significant risk of this surgery is that the stability of the penis may decrease during erection; as a result, we do not use this method and do not recommend it.
Also, sometimes due to incorrect circumcision, shortening of the penile skin may occur as a result of excessive removal of the penile skin. In this case, the problem is solved by increasing the penile skin size using Z-plasty, VY advancement methods, or skin grafting.
Sometimes an overweight person may have a buried penis. In this case, the fat in that area is removed, increasing the penis length and visibility. Again, one of the methods used to improve the size of the penis is to make the scrotum and the penis appear independent of each other by extending the connection between the penis and the scrotum. In this way, the length of the lower part of the penis appears elongated.
Penile Lengthening, Thickening Surgery Anesthesia Type
Penis surgeries are performed with sedation anesthesia technique. This way, the patient goes home approximately 1.5 hours after the procedure without general anesthesia or feeling anything during the operation.
After Penis Enlargement, Lengthening, and Thickening Surgery
After penis lengthening surgery, patients can continue their daily lives, and no one will understand that they have undergone surgery. There is no scar after penile thickening surgery. In the penis lengthening surgery, there is a suture line between the penis and the bags, but since this area is well-healed, there is no scar, and it is not visible. No one will know that you have had surgery.
After penis surgery, the pain is only in the abdomen or buttocks, where the fat is removed. There is no pain in the penis in the early period. Since the penis is a place that can grow too much, there is not much swelling, and a dressing is applied to the penis to prevent an erection. This dressing will open after 4-5 days. This dressing is not visible on the trousers, no one will understand. After about 15 days, the penis becomes most swollen and tight. After this period, reduction in swelling, softening, and normalization of the penis begins. After one month, the penis becomes wholly corrected. After six months, the final result is reached. Patients should avoid sexual intercourse for four weeks after the operation.
MEDICAL AESTHETIC
Botox Applications
Botox, ”Clostridium,” is a toxin used to treat facial wrinkles and excessive sweating obtained from the bacterium “botulinum.” Thanks to Botox, moving wrinkles in the area between the eyebrows, forehead, and around the eyes can be controlled. Experienced doctors must do Botox injections.
In which areas can it be done?
Masseter Botox is used to reduce the contraction of the muscles near the junction of the upper and lower jaws in people with teeth grinding and excessive clenching. For people whose gums are visible when they smile, except for areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (this is the case with teeth gums and it is called a gummy smile) is applied to the junction of the upper lip and nose to reduce the appearance of the gums. At the same time, these people have angular facial features, and an image called a “Square Face” is formed. With Botox, a more oval face is obtained in these people. Thus, both the clenching of the teeth of the person is reduced, and the loss of the tooth roots and tension headaches are reduced.
How long does a Botox application take?
Botox process is completed in a short time, like 10-15 minutes. It usually takes ten days to take its final form. Botox begins to show its effect approximately 48 hours after the application.
Can Botox be repeated?
Although the upper face and neck applications vary depending on the activity of the muscle, they are generally effective between 3 and 6 months. The same can be said for a gummy smile and masseter botox. In anti-sweating treatments, botox is effective between 8 and 16 months.
Lip filler
Lip augmentation can eliminate the problem of asymmetry, thinness, and inequality between the lower and upper lips. Thickening of the lips can be achieved. In this process, the hyaluronic acid substance is used. Previously applied collagen has been preferred because the allergic problems encountered in injections are not seen with hyaluronic acid. It has a long-term wrinkle-reducing effect and restores the skin’s water-holding ability. Hyaluronic acid is also used in correcting deep wrinkles on the face and correcting deep scars.
How is the application made?
Before the procedure, anesthetic cream is applied to the lips. It takes about 20 minutes for the cream to take effect. After the lip becomes numb, the hyaluronic acid-based filler is injected with fine-tipped needles. The application takes about 10-15 minutes. It is a great advantage that it can be done quickly and the result can be obtained immediately. Its permanence is between 6-8 months. Therefore, it needs repetition.
What should you pay attention to next?
The redness and swelling that develops after the application resolve in 1-2 hours. There may be swelling that lasts for 24 hours after the application. It is possible to obtain a natural appearance when an experienced specialist performs the procedure.
Under Eye Light Filling
The under-eye light filling is a procedure that provides solutions for grooves, depressions, bags on the lower eyelid, and dark circles between the cheeks and under the eyes. Fillers with hyaluronic acid are preferred in practice. In light filling, hyaluronic acid and other vitamins, minerals, and active antioxidant substances act together. While eight amino acids, which enter the collagen structure in the light filling, form raw materials for collagen production, three antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals defend the skin against external factors.
How is the application made?
Under-eye filler is applied with fine needles or fine cannulas. The light filling shows its effect by spreading homogeneously to the area where it is given. It is a process of about 15 minutes. It is possible to see the result immediately after the filling is applied. Since redness and bruising are almost not seen, the person can quickly return to his daily life.
How many sessions are applied?
The light filling can be done in a single session or applied in more than one session, depending on the patient’s condition. As a result, the light filling is an application that gives vitality and brightness to the skin, as the name suggests. Its effect lasts for about a year.
Cheek filling
Cheeks and cheekbones form an essential part of the face. Depending on age and time, there is a significant volume loss on the cheeks. Again, in some people, the cheeks may have a sunken appearance. This causes the person to look tired. On the other hand, it is also possible to define the cheekbones as a contour. With the filler used for the cheeks, depressions and wrinkles on the skin are reduced, and a better appearance is achieved. The filling applied to the cheekbone also helps recovery by creating a lift on the face.
How is it applied?
The most commonly used product as a filler is hyaluronic acid. It is applied in a short time of about 15-30 minutes after light anesthesia with creams. The filler in the injector is injected under the skin.
How long does the effect last?
Depending on the nature of the filler used and the skin structure of the person, the effect lasts for an average of 12-16 months.
Nasolabial Filler
The groove that starts from the wings of the nose and extends to the corners of the mouth is called the nasolabial line/groove. With the advancing age, it has become much more pronounced. The nasolabial filling application can be made alone or with other areas filling applications.
How is it applied?
To avoid pain, anesthetic cream is applied to the area before the application. It injects hyaluronic acid under the skin with fine-tipped needles or blunt cannulas. The effect of the application is immediately visible. The process takes about 15-20 minutes.
When is the effect seen?
Although the effect of the application appears immediately, it is seen that it is more effective within 3-4 days. The effect of the nasolabial filling application continues for approximately 9-18 months.
