INFORMATION ABOUT CONSULTATION

I will be honest with you during the examination and tell you the procedures to be performed and not be performed. Maybe you can hear the words that you will not like it such as “You are not appropriate for this surgery”, “You will not benefit much from this surgery”, “An ideal result is not possible to achieve”. I can refuse to perform your surgery in a respectable manner.

In my opinion, many operations in plastic surgery are exaggerated. A more lifted and curved nose, very large breast implants, excessive facial fillings are given as examples. One of the biggest reasons for this is that many aesthetic procedures are performed by non-specialists except for plastic surgeons.

Please note that aesthetic surgical operations and other procedures are a huge market and you can be considered not only as ‘a patient’ but also ‘a customer’, even if we do not accept it from the latter perspective. I must remind you that if I do not recommend to perform an operation, I have rejected a potential gain.

All procedures in medicine and plastic surgery carry complications and risks without exception. During the surgery, you will be informed in detail about all the benefits, outcomes, risks, recovery time and costs of an operation.

In fact, there are no special secrets for many surgeries in plastic surgery. The important point is to know where you should do what. The way to achieve this is based on your education, your overseas experience and your observations starting from the assistantship period. The truth is that the outcome of your surgery depends on your surgeon’s perspective and skill rather than the technique used. The decision to be made mostly underlies what we should not do rather than what we should do.

You often observe new surgical techniques, procedures, devices, and similar techniques in written, visual and social media. Unfortunately, these developments which are launched as “innovation” have been done for many years, or there is no scientific evidence related to them. Thanks to having an academic and scientific background, I would like to state that I do not perform any of these non-evidence-based operations.

As a result, plastic surgery can provide excellent changes in your nose, face, and body. Considering certain body proportions, it is possible to get very good results. In this way, I would like to state that I have been performing all of my own operations until the last moment and I have been following all the patients personally after the surgery. Get well soon in advance!
