About us
Aesthetic Surgery has shown significant developments in recent years. In parallel with this, people's demands for plastic surgery are increasing. In our country, the highest number of aesthetic surgery requests are focused on rhinoplasty. As a female plastic surgeon, I also work in this field. Rhinoplasty is among the most difficult operations of the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery branch. There are two main methods of operation in rhinoplasty. These can be summarized as open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty has been applied in increasing numbers in recent years. However, in this method, since the part between the nostrils is cut, a thin scar remains here. For this reason, open rhinoplasty should only be used when necessary. In closed rhinoplasty, there is no trace outside the nose.
There has also been an increase in breast-breast aesthetic surgeries in recent years. Especially breast augmentation surgeries are now being requested by patients at an increasingly younger age. However, the minimum age for breast augmentation surgery should be 18. Because breast development continues until this age. Breast augmentation surgery is performed with silicone gel breast prostheses. Another issue of breast aesthetics is breast reduction aesthetics. This surgery is performed to reduce the size of breasts that are excessively larger than normal. The most important issue in this aesthetic surgery is the preservation of the sensation of the nipple and ring and blood circulation. In breast reduction surgery, breast lift is also performed by raising the nipple ring to the upper point where it should be.
Another aesthetic plastic surgery subject is ear aesthetics. This plastic surgery is mostly performed in the case of prominent ears, where the auricle, called the prominent ear, is curved forward. Surgery can be performed at any age over the age of six. Ear aesthetics in only children is performed under general anesthesia, that is, by anesthetizing, and in adults, only by anesthetizing the ear with local anesthesia. With the incision made behind the ear, the ear cartilage is filed and the auricle is curved backwards with special stitches.
Today, the demands for sexual aesthetic surgery are also increasing. Among the sexual aesthetic surgeries, small lips reduction, vaginal tightening or vaginal aesthetics, and hymen suturing can be counted. Most of these cosmetic surgeries are performed under local anesthesia. Generally, dissolving sutures are used so that there is no suture removal problem.
Fat accumulation in certain parts of the body is more of a genetic feature. Losing weight with diet, fat in certain parts of the body that cannot be removed despite exercise can be removed by liposuction. Liposuction is performed with cannulas with sharp-edged holes at the end and connected to vacuum. However, the important thing here is to remove a certain amount of fat in the same session. Removing more than this amount of fat increases the possibility of complications. The most important among these is fat embolism.
In the Aesthetic Surgery branch, there are not only plastic surgeries but also non-operative applications. These are applications that do not require surgery in the form of injections, are short-lived, but have a shorter duration of action. The most well-known of these is botox. Botox is a kind of toxin, and when injected under the skin, it prevents the nerve to muscle from being stimulated. In this way, the mimk muscles that cause wrinkles on the face relax and the wrinkles disappear. However, the effect of botox lasts 3-6 and eventually the area returns to its original state. So the process has to be repeated. Sometimes botox alone is not enough to remove deep wrinkles or blemishes on the face, in this case it is used in combination with botox fillers. Among the fillers, the most harmless is hyaluronic acid. This substance, which is in the form of a gel, is already present in the body. Since it is not of animal origin, it does not cause allergic reactions. This substance, obtained from bacteria and purified, forms a mass where it is injected. This mass has the same consistency as the tissue. However, hyaluronic acid filler application also provides a temporary effect. This period is 6-12 months.
The cost or prices of plastic surgery fees may vary depending on whether the aesthetic surgery is performed with local or general anesthesia. If plastic surgery is performed under local anesthesia, the cost or price will usually be cheaper. If it is under general anesthesia, the cost will be higher.
