Ammon – The external appearance remains an important factor that affects the life of any person, whether social or professional, because of the judgment of others on us through the first impression we leave on them.

It is possible to obtain the desired results thanks to advanced medical technologies and health services provided by experienced doctors with extensive experience in this field.

Breast surgery is a general term that includes all surgical interventions aimed at reconstructing or beautifying the breasts in both women and men. These are the most important ones:
Reconstructive surgeries: Surgery can be performed to rebuild breast tissue after some of it has been removed due to treatment for cancer or other breast diseases if necessary.
Plastic surgery: Breast augmentation aims to improve the general shape of the breasts or change their size, and these surgeries can be performed starting from the age of 18 upon request. Breast plastic surgery is divided into different procedures. One of these operations is breast augmentation, in which the total size of the breast is increased using artificial silicone implants or by injecting fat grafts taken from other areas of the body. We also mention a breast lift or lift, which is an operation to correct sagging breasts due to a change in weight or because of breastfeeding, and aims to improve the shape of the breast without making a significant change in its size. Then there is breast reduction surgery, which is a process aimed at reducing breast size in order to reduce neck and back pain, skin problems, and others. During this process, the position of the nipple is also adjusted. Anyone over the age of 18 who does not suffer from breast health conditions can contact us for advice on breast size and shape.
In general, breast surgeries are considered as simple and painless procedures. The hospital stay in most cases does not exceed one night, as most patients leave the hospital the day after surgery. Early postoperative care lasts between one week and ten days. Patients coming from abroad to Turkey can safely return home after ten days or a maximum of two weeks after the operation. Patients who have undergone breast surgery can return to work three weeks after surgery. And they are able to start routine sports such as pilates and weightlifting after six weeks from the date of the operation. The overall risks of general anesthesia and surgery apply to all types of breast surgeries. These points are discussed in detail during the preoperative medical examination. This comprehensive preoperative preparation of the patient with the anesthesia team and surgeons is the backbone of a safe and correct breast surgery practice.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to give the nose a different shape from its natural shape in proportion to the patient’s face, and also to get rid of problems related to the airway if necessary. Rhinoplasty can be performed for all patients over the age of 18 who do not have any disease that prevents this surgery. Some medical conditions such as cartilage sclerosis and the patient’s dissatisfaction with his new shape after rhinoplasty make this surgery difficult at an advanced age. The generally preferred age range for this procedure is between 18 and 30 years old.
The hospital stay after rhinoplasty is limited to one night and the patient can leave the next day after the nose is bandaged, and the bandage is removed about a week after the operation. If the patient does not have any problems, he can return to work after ten days or two weeks maximum. Rhinoplasty is generally a safe procedure. However, it is a delicate procedure and the most common complications after surgery in the early period are pain or exposure to emboli that may prevent the nose from healing quickly.
Some studies have shown that 10-15% of patients who have had rhinoplasty want revision surgery. All patients who will undergo rhinoplasty should be told that they may need to be revisited in some cases if required.
Liposuction and body sculpting
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss procedure. It is performed to remove subcutaneous fat and give the body a better shape using special devices and techniques. Liposuction is performed only or often in combination with other procedures such as a tummy tuck or back lift. This application is considered a surgical procedure and all precautions similar to other surgeries are taken before and during the surgery. Any patient 18 years of age or older who does not have a disease that precludes surgery can have liposuction to reshape their body or re-inject excess fat into other areas of the body.
If the patient is in good health and does not experience severe pain after liposuction, he can leave the hospital the day after the surgery. After the operation, patients wear special compression garments for three weeks to reduce swelling and edema in the liposuction areas, and they are free to return to their normal lives without any problems. Liposuction aims to remove the fat under the skin and above the muscles, so the most common complications are some bruising and pain. In very rare cases, a small amount of fluid called a seroma may collect just under the skin. These are the main risks that may occur in the first weeks after surgery. In some cases, some patients are not satisfied with the outcome, and this is mostly due to misunderstanding and communication between the surgeon and the patient.
For a successful plastic surgery
In plastic surgery, patient safety is more important than the final outcome of the procedure. For a successful cosmetic surgery, we recommend that you contact an experienced surgeon to ask about all the details of the surgery and beyond, and to explain your complaints and expectations to him.
One last point that must be mentioned, and it is related to the place where the surgery will take place. It is necessary to choose a hospital that meets all the quality conditions and the structures necessary to perform the operations inside it. And remember that what you need is not only a good surgeon, but an integrated team that includes anesthesiologists, specialized nurses, and also psychiatrists, if necessary, before or after plastic surgery.
