Aesthetic Surgery provides services for the treatment of both congenital and acquired aesthetic, shape and function disorders. Expert plastic surgeons respond to aesthetic interventions such as facial deformities, cleft lip and palate in infants, deformities of the jaw and facial bones, breast aesthetic operations, as well as deformities of the genital organs, repair of severed limbs.
One of the biggest determinants of face shape is the nose. Nose shapes that are sometimes excessively large, wide or arched may cause aesthetic problems in people and may negatively affect the self-confidence and social life of the person. Aesthetic operations performed to change the shape of the nose are called rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty can be performed with two different methods known as open and closed technique. The method to be used is decided by the physician by considering the structural features of the person. These operations are performed under local or general anaesthesia according to the needs of the person.
Sometimes deviated septum, in which the curved nasal bone makes breathing difficult or prevents breathing, and turbinate hypertrophy, in which the nasal tissues swell due to allergy-like reasons and cause nasal congestion, can be treated with rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty operations usually take a few hours. The tampons placed after the operation are removed within a few days and a one-week rest period is sufficient for the patient to return to daily life. After the operation, it takes a few months for the oedema to completely subside and the shape of the nose to fully settle.
Breast shape and size affect women's daily life very much. Breast aesthetic operations can be divided into three headings as breast augmentation, reduction and lift. Excessively large breasts can cause posture disorders and back pain as well as aesthetic problems. On the other hand, small breasts or breasts that sag for various reasons can disturb the person aesthetically and negatively affect psychology.
In breast augmentation operations, which is one of the most common aesthetic applications, liquid-filled breast prostheses are used. The most preferred of these prostheses are silicone-based ones. These operations are sometimes applied in cases where both breasts are small, and sometimes they are applied to provide symmetry between the two breasts and with other body shapes.
Breast reduction operations aesthetically improve the appearance of excessively large breasts, correcting conditions such as posture disorder and providing a more comfortable life.
Breast lift operations can be performed both together with other breast operations and alone. Depending on time, it is possible to restore the sagging breasts to their former forms due to weight gain and loss or breastfeeding with breast lift operations.
Excess fat in certain parts of the body, called regional adiposity, poses an aesthetic problem. These fat excesses can be removed from the body with liposuction operation. Liposuction is applied by vacuuming the fat tissues, which are made more fluid by various methods, through cannulas. Liposuction is not a slimming method. In this respect, it is important that the person is at his/her ideal weight before the operation..
After excessive weight gain, abdominal tissues may loosen and sagging may occur as a result of rapid weight loss or after pregnancy. Even if the person is at his/her ideal weight, these excesses may cause aesthetic discomfort. These sagging tissues are called abdominoplasty (abdominoplasty) operations that provide a more aesthetic and healthy appearance of the abdomen. Abdominoplasty is not a weight loss method. Therefore, it is important for people to be at their ideal weight before this operation..
Eyelids are of great importance in terms of facial aesthetics along with gaze. Problems such as sagging, wrinkles, swelling, etc. on the eyelids negatively affect eye aesthetics and thus facial aesthetics. Wrinkles, sagging skin and fat deposits in the upper eyelid, which are usually age-related, cause aesthetic problems, while under-eye swelling and wrinkles are usually seen in the lower eyelid. It is possible to eliminate various aesthetic problems that occur in the upper and lower eyelids, sometimes due to age and sometimes due to genetic characteristics, with eyelid operations (blepharoplasty).
Eyebrows, which are one of the biggest components of facial aesthetics, are low and drooping lower than they should be, making the person look more tired and older. It is possible to eliminate these problems with eyebrow lift operations. During these operations, both the general posture of the eyebrows on the face is corrected and the wrinkles in the middle and around the eyebrows are removed. Brow lift operations can sometimes be combined with eyelid and face lift operations to give the person a younger and more aesthetic appearance.
Due to advancing age and time, facial tissues sag and collapse with a downward movement. These sagging and collapses are the most prominent features of old age images. It is possible to restore the face shape and make the person look younger with facelift operations. Basically, facelift operations are based on lifting and correcting the facial tissues by hanging, as well as removing excess sagging skin. Facelift operations are sometimes accompanied by eyebrow lift and eyelid operations. In this way, the person is given a younger appearance in combination.
In order to give a fuller appearance to certain parts of the body and face, the process of injecting fats taken from different parts of the body, especially the abdomen, is called fat injections. Fat injections are mostly applied to facial tissues. The main reasons for its application can be counted as plumping the lips, removing wrinkles around the mouth, chin tip clarification, and plumping the cheekbone areas. In addition to the face, a more aesthetic and fuller appearance can be achieved with fat injection applications to the breasts and buttocks.
Ears, which are complementary to facial aesthetics, are important from an early age in terms of appearance. The image called prominent ear, which occurs due to insufficient ear folds or abnormally large ear cartilages, causes aesthetic problems and negatively affects people's lives. With ear aesthetic operations, the prominent ear appearance can be easily eliminated and the person can be given a better appearance. Unlike most aesthetic surgery procedures, ear aesthetic operations can also be performed in childhood.
Chin and cheekbone operations are among the most popular aesthetic operations today. Full and prominent cheekbones and chin tips provide people with sharper and aesthetic facial features, making the person younger and more attractive. Various methods are used to define the chin and cheekbones. These are usually surgically implanted facial prostheses and implants, fat injections using fat from different parts of the body, temporary dermal fillers and suspension methods. The most appropriate method for the individual is decided by the physician depending on the needs.
Slender and beautiful legs have had an important place in the definition of beauty since ancient times. Loss of aesthetic appearance due to sagging, protrusions, curvatures, distortions, etc. in the legs creates negativities for people. It is possible to eliminate these aesthetic deficiencies with leg aesthetic applications. Fat injections, thigh lift operations, knee aesthetic operations and prostheses applied to thin legs can be counted among leg aesthetic applications.
