SEND Pressure Sore It generally occurs in people whose general condition is impaired due to prolonged lying. It may occur in cases of temporary immobility or paralysis due to surgeries. It tends to occur in the lower part of the hip in patients who can sit, and in the back and side of the legs in patients who lie constantly. First of all, it is recommended to ensure the patient's frequent movement and position change, to use an air mattress, to prevent urine or feces from contaminating the wound, and to perform regular cleaning and care. In cases suitable for surgery, pressure sores can be cleaned and repaired by tissue transfer from surrounding tissues. Diabetic Ulcer Diabetic foot ulcers may occur in uncontrolled diabetes, as well as the first sign of diabetic foot diabetes. Diabetic ulcers are difficult to treat wounds, but they can eventually be cured, albeit long-term.

FILLER APPLICATIONS FILLERS What is Filler? Fillers are substances that are produced chemically or in a way that can replace the structural substances in our body obtained from bacteria. In general, they contain hayluronic acid, which is one of the basic building blocks of subcutaneous tissue. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that provides support throughout the body, especially bone, cartilage and subcutaneous tissue. 👉🏻 BOOK NOW What is the purpose of FILLERS? Dermal fillers are most commonly used in cosmetic surgery to support facial features, restore lost volume, and soften contours/lines. Corrects volume loss: Reduces age-related hollowness in areas such as the inner cheeks/midface, temples, and around the lips. Contour shaping: Can create more defined/harmonious lines in areas such as the cheekbone line, jawline, and around the tip of the nose. Smoothing fine wrinkles: Especially expression lines and superficial contours can be made smoother with a filling effect. Eliminating sunken areas: It can be used supportively in some areas, such as under-eye hollows (in suitable patients, with the right product/technique). Lip fullness and lip contouring: Increasing lip volume and defining lip boundaries. Correcting facial asymmetries: Can be used to balance differences between the left and right sides or to correct pronounced depressions. Are you a suitable candidate for filler treatments? You can send a photo and ask your questions for a preliminary assessment. 👉🏻 BOOK NOW FILLERS USED IN COSMETIC SURGERY In cosmetic surgery/aesthetic procedures, "fillers" are generally grouped into two main categories: short-to-medium-acting (the most common) and long-acting/biostimulant products. The most common types of fillers are: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Based Fillers Cross-linked hyaluronic acid gels It is commonly used for adding volume, contouring, lip augmentation, cheek/cheekbone enhancement, nasolabial folds, jawline correction, and treating certain scars/depressions. Depending on their composition, the products are manufactured in different densities. It is the most commonly used filler material. Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) It exists as microcrystals within a carrier gel. Generally provides more pronounced volume support and long-lasting contour correction (e.g., in suitable patients such as those with mid-face/jawline issues). Polylactic Acid (PLA) / Biostimulator Fillers It targets collagen stimulation in multiple stages, rather than directly increasing volume. It is generally used for tissue tightening over time and facial rejuvenation (e.g., cheeks/midface). Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) It contains implant-like microspheres that are considered to be more "near permanent". Its use is more restricted and requires significant training/experience (incorrect application can be difficult to reverse). WHICH AREAS ARE FILLERS APPLIED TO? Lip Filler (Lip Augmentation and Contouring) Lip fillers reduce volume loss in the lips, providing a fuller and more balanced appearance. They also help to define the lip contour, adjusting the corners of the lips and the proportions of the upper and lower lips. Balances lip volume. Provides contour definition. Reduces age-related thinning and fading. For details, please visit our "Lip Filler" page. Nasolabial Line Filler (Smile Line Filler) Nasolabial lines can become more prominent with smiling and make the face look more tired. Fillers, when used with the right technique, can help soften the appearance of these lines. It reduces the prominence of the smile line. It makes the facial expression look more refreshed. It supports contour balance. Cheek and Cheekbone Augmentation (Mid-Face Rejuvenation) The cheek and cheekbone area is one of the areas that most affects the perception of youthfulness on the face. Filler treatments can help the mid-face appear more balanced and "lifted," thus making the facial contour more harmonious. It provides mid-face support and reduces sagging. It helps the face look more balanced. It can tighten the cheekbone line. Under-Eye Filler (Volume Loss and Sagging Support) Volume loss and hollowness in the under-eye area can create a tired appearance, regardless of facial expressions. Under-eye fillers, with proper patient assessment, can help to tighten hollowness and create a smoother facial appearance. It helps to compensate for volume loss in the tear trough area. Reduces the appearance of sunken areas. It provides a fresher under-eye look. It may not be suitable for every patient; careful evaluation should be performed, and it should only be applied to appropriate patients. Jawline and Facial Contour Filler (V-Shape Contour Support) Jawline and contour fillers are preferred for shaping and proportioning the lower part of the face. The aim is to make the jawline more prominent and enhance the overall facial appearance. When the procedure is planned individually, the facial features appear more harmonious.

We do not use counterfeit/substantial products . Products with unknown batch numbers, expiration dates, and storage conditions should be avoided. We check the product batch and expiration date: Pre-injection verification is required. The product is opened and used individually : Fillers are available in 1 or 2 ml pre-filled syringes. The injection should be administered by a qualified physician: Filler injections are a medical procedure and should be performed by specialist physicians who have received adequate training in this area. Product-area compatibility is important: Not every filler is suitable for every area; the correct indication must be chosen. We are questioning the patient's history: Allergies, autoimmune diseases, active infections, and a history of herpes should be investigated. We perform the procedure under sterile conditions: Sterilization and hygiene standards must be followed prior to application. Blood thinner use is monitored: Medications and supplements should be communicated in advance to plan the procedure. Knowledge of surgical anatomy is important: anatomical knowledge is essential for assessing the risks of intravascular procedures. We use the correct injection technique: applying the product to the intended layer is critical for safety. Dosage and volume should be gradual: Excessive and rapid volume loading increases risks; proceed in a controlled manner. We keep hyaluronidase on hand for complication management : There should be protocols and access for emergencies other than bruising/swelling. We always perform a follow-up check after the procedure: a follow-up examination and, if necessary, a revision plan should be prepared. Seek prompt medical attention in case of alarming signs : Severe pain, discoloration, spreading of the skin, or impaired vision should be reported without delay. How is a filler injection performed? (Application process) Examination and Personalized Planning Filler treatment requires personalized planning. The first step involves evaluating facial proportions, skin type, any asymmetries, and the individual's expectations. We plan which area will be treated, and with what type and amount of filler. This allows us to aim for a more natural-looking and balanced result. Facial proportions and needs analysis are performed. The desired appearance and realistic goals are determined. An appropriate type and quantity of fill material will be determined, and a regional plan will be created. Pre-Application Preparation Before the procedure, medical history and current medication use are thoroughly reviewed to minimize risks. Medical history and medication/supplement use are evaluated (blood thinners, herbal supplements). The procedure may be postponed/the plan updated if necessary (cold sore, breastfeeding). The area is cleaned and marked. A local anesthetic may be applied to the treatment area. Filler Application The filler material, in pre-filled syringes opened specifically for each individual, is applied at the appropriate depth and dosage. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes. Very little pain is felt during the procedure. The person can resume their work and social life after the procedure. Post-dermal filler treatment care recommendations. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur after filler injections. These symptoms usually subside quickly in most patients. Following our recommendations will help speed up recovery from any potential side effects. You can wash your face a few hours after the procedure. Applying cold compresses on the first day can reduce swelling and tenderness. Makeup can be done the next day. Avoid extreme heat/sauna/hammam during the first 24–48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise for the first few days. Do not apply pressure to the application area. Swelling and bruising are usually temporary and subside within a few days. Seek immediate evaluation if you experience unusually severe pain, significant discoloration, or impaired vision. Expected Results and Duration After Filler Treatment When will its effects be seen? Some results from filler injections are noticeable immediately after the procedure; however, swelling and slight bruising can cause variations in appearance during the first few days. For most people, the true result usually becomes apparent within a few days as the swelling subsides. A difference in contour may be visible in the first few hours. The appearance may fluctuate in the first few days due to mild swelling/bruising. A clearer picture usually emerges within a few days. Results will typically be visible within 7-10 days, once the swelling has largely subsided. How long does it last? The duration of filler effects varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used, product concentration, the area of application, the individual's metabolism, and lifestyle. Generally, the effect of fillers lasts for a certain period and gradually diminishes over time. The duration of the effect varies depending on the individual and the area treated. In mobile areas such as the lips and nasolabial region, the effect lasts approximately 1 year. In stable regions, it can last 12-18 months. The filler's effect diminishes over time; a renewal plan is made based on follow-up examinations. Follow-up appointments are important for the result to stabilize and for minor adjustments if needed. Gradual approaches are preferable for a “natural and balanced” outcome. Risks and Complications in Dermal Filler Applications ‼️ Which symptoms require immediate evaluation? Filler injections are safe for most people; however, rare situations requiring urgent evaluation may arise. Symptoms such as severe and increasing pain after the procedure, noticeable changes in skin color (such as pallor/bruising), rapid spread of the treated area, or, very rarely, impaired vision should be taken seriously. In such cases, it is important to contact the clinic/doctor who performed the procedure or the nearest healthcare facility immediately. Severe and progressively worsening pain Paleness, dark discoloration, or noticeable bruising in the treated area. Rapid spread of swelling or hardness Blurred vision/double vision/light-related changes Shortness of breath, widespread rash, rapid swelling around the lips and eyes (suspected allergy) Precautions for unwanted effects Dermal fillers are medical procedures, therefore it is safer for them to be administered by individuals who have received extensive specialized training in this field. Every procedure carries risks, but the probability of risk decreases when the procedure is performed by knowledgeable and experienced professionals. Steps to reduce the probability of risk include: The procedure should be performed by a physician familiar with vascular anatomy. The correct technique, the correct layering, and a controlled dose should be targeted. Appropriate patient selection and risk assessment should be performed. An emergency plan should be in place and information should be provided regarding the post-operative situation. If suspicious symptoms appear, report it without delay. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS When does the filler show its effects? The first difference is often immediately visible; however, the appearance may fluctuate in the first few days due to swelling and possible bruising. The near-final result usually becomes apparent within 7-10 days. How long does the effect of fillers last? The duration of the effect varies depending on the type of filler used, the area to be treated, and the individual's metabolism. Therefore, the duration of the effect can differ from person to person. Will my face look natural after fillers? A natural result is achieved with the right product selection, appropriate layering/technique, and controlled dosage. We aim for a natural look by evaluating your facial proportions and expectations during the consultation. Are fillers and Botox the same thing? No. Botox is more effective on expression lines caused by muscle movements. Fillers, on the other hand, help reduce the appearance of lines and depressions by providing volume and contour support. Can I go back to work the day after a filler treatment? Most people can return to their daily lives with mild bruising/swelling; however, this varies depending on individual reaction and the area treated. If you wish, your doctor can help you plan your treatment process.

  • Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) | Transform Your Shape & Confidence

    Learn what to expect from abdominoplasty, recovery tips, and individualized options. Schedule your tummy tuck consultation today. ABDOMINOPLASTY What is a tummy tuck? The abdomen is one of the areas most affected by births and extreme weight changes. Especially in women, with the effect of age and childbirth, excess skin and fat occurs in this area. With the effect of the muscles separated during pregnancy, the abdomen appears loose and convex. This situation results in the deterioration of body lines and the emergence of disproportion, which negatively affects the person both in terms of health and appearance. Abdominoplasty is performed to solve these problems in the abdomen. What is its goal? The primary goal of a tummy tuck is to eliminate sagging, drooping, and muscle separation (rectus diastasis) in the abdominal area caused by childbirth, weight changes, or age, resulting in a flatter, firmer, and more proportionate abdomen. The aim of this procedure is not only aesthetic but also functional improvement — strengthening of the abdominal muscles improves posture, increases lumbar support, and provides comfort during daily activities. Aesthetically, the goal is a natural-looking abdominal profile that is in harmony with the body's measurements. This allows the individual to experience both physical relief and increased self-confidence. 🌿If you are bothered by sagging in the abdominal area, you should undergo an examination to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). 👉🏻 Book Now 🌿 You can send us photos of your abdomen for a preliminary evaluation and information 👉🏻 Contact Who is it suitable for?

Individuals who are still breastfeeding : due to hormonal changes and weight fluctuations Patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 30–35 : weight control should be addressed first. Those with uncontrolled diabetes, serious heart or lung disease. Presence of a clotting disorder or active infection. Those who cannot quit smoking /nicotine use: negatively affect wound healing. Individuals with excessively loose skin or poor circulation in skin quality unsuitable for surgery Patients who are psychologically unprepared and unable to manage the adaptation and recovery process. ⚠️ Who should undergo a tummy tuck surgery with caution? Previous major abdominal surgery : old scars and tissue damage should be evaluated. Presence of hernia (ventral/umbilical hernia): can be combined with surgery. Those taking blood thinners : should temporarily discontinue medication with doctor's approval. Patients who have recently quit smoking : blood flow may still be affected. Areas with excessive cracks and poor circulation in the skin: special care may be required during the healing process. Individuals with a history of embolism or venous insufficiency. 💬 Every candidate has a different health status, medical history, and body type.

Risk factors: smoking, diabetes, bleeding tendency, medications Whether the expectations are realistic is discussed, and a personalized plan is created. Techniques used in labiaplasty surgery. Techniques used in labiaplasty 1) Trimming technique The procedure involves removing excess tissue from the inner labia corners to reshape the lips. It may also be preferred in some individuals to reduce color and texture changes along the border or to refine the contour. 2) Wedge technique The lip is shortened by removing a wedge-shaped piece of lip tissue. This technique can help preserve a more "natural" lip line. Various variations are possible. 3) Superior flap technique The upper part of the labia is prepared like a flap; excess tissue is removed from the lower part, and the flap is adapted to the lower edge of the labia. It can be considered a slightly modified version of the wedge technique. Excess skin from the fold between the inner and outer labia and around the clitoris is also added to the removed tissues. 4) Deepitelation technique The labial skin is debridemented internally and externally, leaving a thin strip of skin at its most distal end, and the remaining tissues are sutured onto themselves. 5) Combined plans (asymmetries/clitoral hurdles) In some patients, labia minora reduction alone is not sufficient; additional adjustments such as correcting asymmetry or eliminating excessive clitoral hood may be necessary. Fat injections or filler injections can be performed to address insufficient volume in the labia majora. The choice of technique depends on the individual's anatomical characteristics, the size of the labia minora, and whether additional procedures are required. Personalized planning is crucial. Selecting the appropriate technique for the patient ensures a safer and more effective surgical procedure, making it possible to achieve the desired outcome. How is labiaplasty performed? Labiaplasty can be performed under sedation, local or general anesthesia. The type of anesthesia is determined based on the surgical plan and the patient's comfort needs. It takes approximately 1-1.5 hours. Hospitalization is usually not required. Self-dissolving sutures are used. It can be combined with other cosmetic surgeries. Labiaplasty recovery process The recovery process after labiaplasty can vary considerably from person to person. Scheduling the surgery after the menstrual period allows for a suitable time for healing until the next period. However, because the genital area is exposed to many different secretions, healing can sometimes be delayed. Expectations for the post-operative period should be planned on an individual basis. First 2-3 days Swelling, tenderness, and mild aches may occur. Sensitivity may increase while sitting or walking. There may be slight bleeding in the form of spotting. Applying cold compresses may be beneficial. First week The swelling may persist but will gradually decrease. It is important to follow hygiene and care recommendations. Tight clothing and chafing should be avoided. You can shower carefully. 2nd week The swelling will now decrease. Comfort increases, daily routines become easier. The stitches will begin to dissolve on their own. You can return to work and social life. 3-6 weeks The tissue gradually softens. You can return to sports gradually. A follow-up examination is performed to assess the recovery. Sexual activity can be resumed after the 6th week. Post-labioplasty care recommendations There may be slight bleeding in the first few days; sanitary pads can be used. A clean gauze pad is placed on top of the sanitary pad to prevent direct contact between the pad's surface and the wound. Avoid using products with an unsuitable pH level for genital hygiene. Comfortable underwear and clothing that will reduce friction should be preferred during the first week. After using the toilet, gently clean yourself with antiseptic solution (Batikon). The prescribed medications should be used regularly. Avoid situations that will irritate the area. Activities that increase friction, such as strenuous sports, cycling, and long walks, should be postponed until after recovery. Check-ups should not be neglected. Sexual life after labiaplasty The goal of labiaplasty is to improve quality of life while preserving function through targeted planning. Sexual activity should be avoided for about 6 weeks after surgery. Temporary changes in genital sensation may occur. Sensitivity or tension may be felt during the first sexual encounters after surgery. Stitches and scars In labiaplasty surgery, incisions are usually planned along the natural crease lines. What kind of scar will it leave? personal wound healing, maintenance compliance, It depends on factors such as tissue structure. We generally use dissolvable sutures in labiaplasty surgeries. We expect the sutures to completely dissolve and fall out within 6-8 weeks at the latest. During follow-up appointments, the suture line is evaluated and guidance is provided if necessary. What are the risks of labiaplasty surgery? Bleeding, hematoma Infection Delayed wound healing. Opening at the suture line Asymmetry: Existing asymmetries may sometimes not be corrected. Temporary sensory changes, increased or decreased sensitivity. Scar tissue: Scars are generally left in the natural crease and become less noticeable over time; rarely, scarring may occur in people with impaired wound healing. If the correct technique is not used, such as in cases of overremoval of the labia minora, tension and susceptibility to genital infections can occur. Risk level can vary depending on factors such as smoking, diabetes, skin type, and adherence to skincare recommendations. Labiaplasty surgery prices 2026 A precise price for labiaplasty surgery requires an assessment of suitability for the procedure, an evaluation of risk factors, and the determination of the appropriate technique. This primarily necessitates an initial examination. Factors affecting labiaplasty costs in Kocaeli include: Scope of the transaction (single-sided/double-sided, level of asymmetry) Additional modifications needed, such as a clitoral HUD. Type of anesthesia Hospital and clinic conditions (we prefer to perform the procedure in a hospital due to patient safety reasons) The surgeon's experience These can be listed as inspection and maintenance plans. Preparation checklist before your appointment Note down all medications and supplements you are taking (including those that thin the blood). Write down your existing complaints: friction, sports, relationship, hygiene, asymmetry Define your expectations: such as "More comfortable," "Asymmetry should be corrected," and plan how to express yourself clearly. Note down your last menstrual period date and your menstrual cycle regularity. Note down your questions about the surgery. Labiaplasty surgery frequently asked questions Is labiaplasty purely cosmetic? Labiaplasty is not performed solely for aesthetic reasons. Functional complaints such as friction, irritation, and discomfort during sports or sexual intercourse are also frequent reasons. How long does labiaplasty take to heal? Initial relief after labiaplasty usually increases within 1-2 weeks; however, full healing and tissue settling may take several weeks. This timeframe varies from person to person. Will the asymmetry disappear completely? The goal of labiaplasty is to reduce significant asymmetries. Mild asymmetry is normal in human anatomy; "complete symmetry" may not always be possible. Can there be loss of sensation after labiaplasty? Temporary changes in sensation may occur. Permanent and significant loss of sensation is rare. Is further processing required? In most patients, it is not necessary. However, correction may rarely be needed depending on the improvement, asymmetry, or expectations. Labiaplasty surgery results The decision for labiaplasty is personal; your complaints, anatomy, and expectations will be evaluated together during the examination to select the right candidate and the right technique. During the consultation, the appropriate technique, recovery schedule, and aftercare plan for you will be clarified. For quick answers to your questions, you can reach us via WhatsApp or DM .

Bra straps leaving marks on the shoulders, a feeling of sagging in the shoulders. Recurrent diaper rash, irritation, and fungal infections under the breasts. Difficulty during exercise, discomfort when running or jumping. Significant limitations in clothing choices. Severe sagging (ptosis) and heavy breast tissue Individuals with significant breast asymmetry should be evaluated for breast reduction surgery. Criteria for breast reduction surgery Complete breast development (>18 years) No chronic disease that would prevent surgery. Having realistic expectations. BMI not being within the extreme obesity range Criteria for breast reduction Complete breast development (>18 years) No chronic disease that would prevent surgery. Having realistic expectations. BMI not being within the extreme obesity range IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY? Breast reduction surgery requires the breasts to have completed their development. Therefore, breast reduction surgeries can be performed from the age of 18 onwards. 💡However, setting a rule that breast reduction surgery should only be done at a certain age may not be very practical. Since self-perception is fluctuating at younger ages, it is important for the individual to be ready for surgery in terms of psychosocial development . In middle-aged and older individuals, breast reduction surgery is performed unless there is a chronic condition that would prevent the surgery or significantly increase the risk. 🌸🌸When should breast reduction surgery be planned? For comprehensive information, please see our article "BREAST REDUCTION TIMING" . Breast reduction surgery may not be performed or may be postponed. Chronic health problems : Uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding and clotting disorders, severe anemia, active infection, serious heart conditions. Smoking : negatively affects recovery. Weight changes: If the goal is rapid and high-rate weight loss, weight loss should come first, then surgery. Obesity : If the BMI (Body Mass Index) value is very high, weight control should be addressed first. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: If pregnancy is planned in the very near future, the surgery can be performed 6 months after breastfeeding ends. Unrealistic expectations Breast-related conditions: a newly detected suspicious mass. INITIAL CONSULTATION Clarifying complaints and objectives. Medical history and risk assessment: Smoking, chronic diseases, medications, etc. Physical examination and measurements: Breast volume, nipple position, skin quality, asymmetry, degree of sagging. Technique and scar planning: nipple-conserving or "free nipple" technique. Personalized recovery and return-to-work plan. Assessment of risks and potential complications. Examination and imaging plan: Blood tests for anesthesia, breast examination with ultrasound or mammography. BREAST REDUCTION INCISIONS Vertical incision – “Lollipop” (Lejour) Areola circumference + downward vertical line. It may be preferred in patients requiring moderate reduction in size. There will be no long scar in the breast crease. It may not be effective in cases of very large breasts or severe sagging. Reverse T / Anchor (Wise pattern) Areola scar + vertical scar + horizontal scar in the inframammary fold. The trace is much larger compared to other techniques; The horizontal scar remains in the inframammary fold. It is also used for large breasts and advanced sagging. It is the most frequently preferred and "most comprehensive" technique. BREAST REDUCTION TECHNIQUES Nipple-preserving technique When using a breast-conserving technique during breast reduction surgery, the nipple is held in place by a small amount of tissue under and around it. This tissue, to which the nipple is attached, is called a "pedicle." Different pedicle designs may be used in breast reduction surgery depending on the anatomical structure, breast size, degree of sagging, and the surgeon's experience. Nipple-areola transfer "pedicle" techniques Inferior pedicle (lower pedicle) Superomedial pedicle (upper-inner pedicle) Superior pedicle (upper pedicle) Medial/lateral pedicle (more select cases) Central pedicle Nipple sensation, blood supply security, and breastfeeding potential play a role in planning. The choice of technique is determined in the individual treatment plan. There is no rule stating that one technique is superior to another; the important thing is to choose the technique that is appropriate for the individual's breast size. 💡 Nipple (areola) transfer techniques are named according to the direction of the preserved tissue. "Superomedial pedicle" is the most commonly used technique. "Free nipple" technique This is a breast reduction technique used to safely reduce breast size in very large and sagging breasts and/or in elderly patients. In this method, the nipple-areola complex is separated from the tissue connection that provides its circulation, prepared as a graft (skin transplant) , and repositioned in the planned new location in the breast being reduced. Thus, the risk of circulatory problems that can occur with very large reductions in classic "pedicled" techniques can be reduced in some patients. The advantage of this approach is that it offers the surgeon a choice in terms of risks related to nipple circulation, especially in cases of very high volume reductions or when the nipple needs to be moved a very long distance. Disadvantages include loss of sensation in the nipple and inability to breastfeed. Risks include changes in nipple/areola color or texture, graft failure, and delayed wound healing. 💡Free-nipple technique Remove the nipple in a round shape. By applying a reduction process After repairing the breast incisions, we reposition the nipple using a "skin graft".

There may be slight stinging at the incision sites. Swelling and bruising may occur in the breast. You can return to desk work on days 5-7. Suggestions Pay attention to the lying position: semi-sitting. Short, light walks promote circulation. You should avoid lifting heavy objects and sudden arm movements. You can drive when you feel well. Period The pain is significantly reduced; only a tingling sensation and tenderness remain. Some swelling may persist. The daily routine is resumed. A cautious return to jobs requiring physical activity is possible. Suggestions You can turn left or right. You should continue with light walks. As the swelling decreases, the shape of the breasts will become more defined. Continue with the medical bra. Don't neglect the checks. Period Daily life comfort increases. The swelling will decrease. The breast begins to take shape. There may be itching/tightness at the suture lines. There may be sensitivity in the nipple. Suggestions Walking is allowed as long as it's not at a high pace. You can turn left and right easily. Continue to avoid heavy lifting. Continue with the medical bra. Apply scar treatments. Period The swelling will decrease significantly. Breast shape and size begin to become apparent. The breast begins to soften. You can fully return to sports and your daily routine. Suggestions It's a good idea to wear a sports bra while exercising. Sexual activity can be resumed. You can go swimming in the pool or sea after 6-8 weeks, but you should use sunscreen while sunbathing. Continuing scar treatments Period Generally, recovery is complete in around 6 months. The breast softens More natural look The breast shape is determined. Suggestions You can return to your normal life. All activities are allowed. Scar treatments continue until the 6th month. Regular checks every year. Breast ultrasound can be performed at the end of the first year. In breast reduction surgery, the recovery time and the full settling of the breast tissue depend on the scope of the surgery, the breast structure, and the individual's overall lifestyle. Each person's response to surgery can be different. Close monitoring of the patient during the post-operative period is important. POST OPERATIVE CARE Post op care Nutrision and Habit Daily routine § sport Emergency Rest It's normal to feel tired in the first few days, rest. Support circulation with short walks. Lying position We generally recommend lying on your back with your head and back slightly elevated. Lying on your side or stomach should be avoided in the early stages as it can put pressure on the breast. Beslenme: Bol proteinli gıdalr ve bol su tüketimi iyileşmeye yardımcıdır. Tuzlu ve ağır yiyeceklerden kaçın. Sigara: Doku kanlanmasını bozduğu için yara iyileşmesini ve toparlanmayı geciktirir. Mümkünse bırakılmalıdır. Alkol: Ödemi artırabilir, iyileşmeyi geciktirebilir Protein and water intake: Supports wound healing. A balanced diet is important. Smoking/nicotine: Can significantly impair wound healing and reduce tissue circulation. Should be stopped completely if possible. Alcohol: In the early stages, it may be recommended to limit it due to the risk of edema and drug interactions. Wearing a Bra Surgical bra: A medical bra is typically used for 4-6 weeks. Medical bras help reduce swelling and support breast shape. Underwired bra: We don't recommend it in the early stages as it will put pressure on the seams; it can be worn after approximately 2-3 months. Dressing: We change your dressing at your check-up. Keep your dressings clean and dry. Injury area: Redness, mild swelling, and bruising may occur. Sutures: Dissolvable sutures are used in breast reduction surgery. One or two stitches may need to be removed, which will be done at follow-up appointments. Drain: Inserted to reduce fluid buildup during surgery; we usually remove it at discharge, but if it can't be removed, we explain how to follow up. Scar treatment The marks may initially appear pink/red; they will fade over time. Scar cream and silicone bandages can be used starting from the 2nd-3rd week. Sun protection is important to prevent the scars from darkening. Daily routine Shower time: We usually allow showering after the 3rd day. Lukewarm water is preferred for the first shower; avoid using loofahs/harsh scrubbing and hot water early on. Clothing choices: Comfortable clothes that open at the front are easier to put on in the first few days. Driving: After 1 week, carefully Sex: First three week carefully, after 1 month normal Activity and sport Gentle movement: Short walks in the early stages support recovery. Heavy lifting and arm movements: Avoid heavy lifting and sudden arm extensions/push-pull movements during the first few weeks. These can be gradually introduced after 6-8 weeks. Sports: Activities such as running, weight training, and swimming can be resumed after 6-8 weeks. Recovery We have follow-up appointments on days 3, 7, 10-15 after the surgery. Then we continue with monthly check-ups. The final shape of the breast and the maturation of scars will become apparent over the months. When should I see a doctor? If any of the following occur, contact us immediately: • Fever above 38°C, chills • Increasing redness, increased temperature, foul-smelling discharge • Sudden and noticeable swelling, rapidly increasing tension on one side. • Severe, worsening pain (despite medication) • Shortness of breath, chest pain, sudden swelling/pain in the leg (urgent) RISKS and COMPLICATION Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is a commonly performed surgery with high patient satisfaction. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are some risks and potential complications. Risks and undesirable outcomes vary depending on factors such as the individual's breast structure, general health status, smoking habits, and the technique used. ⚠️ General risks of surgery Bleeding (hematoma): This may occur in the early postoperative period with sudden swelling and increased pain in the breast; rarely, further intervention may be necessary. Infection: May manifest as redness, increased warmth, discharge, and fever; antibiotics or additional treatment may be required. Delayed wound healing: Particularly at the incision lines, there may be dehiscence, crusting, or delayed closure. Seroma (fluid accumulation): Fluid buildup in the udder; may require monitoring, drainage, or additional dressing changes. Risks associated with anesthesia: Nausea and vomiting, allergic reactions; rarely, more serious complications. 🩺 Risks specific to breast reduction surgery Nipple and skin sensation altered: Numbness/reduced sensation is common; it resolves over time in most patients, but very rarely may be permanent in some. Nipple circulation problems: This is a rare but significant risk, more common in cases of large nipple reduction surgeries, smoking, or circulatory problems. Effects on breastfeeding : Since the milk ducts may be affected, the ability to breastfeed may be reduced; while breastfeeding may be possible in some patients, it cannot be guaranteed. Asymmetry: Natural breast asymmetry may partially persist after surgery or become more pronounced during the healing process; rarely, correction may be necessary. Shape problems / “bottoming out”, boxy appearance, etc.: Over time, breast tissue may shift or the shape may not fit as desired. Scarring: Scars usually fade over time; some individuals may develop hypertrophic scars/keloids. Pigment changes: There may be discoloration or irregularities around the nipple. Suture reaction: The suture material protruding towards the skin's surface; this can be resolved with minor intervention/dressing. Fat necrosis: Can cause hardness, a nodule-like sensation, and sometimes mass-like findings requiring imaging and follow-up. Thromboembolic events (DVT/PE) : Risk of blood clots forming in leg veins and traveling to the lungs; rare but can be serious. Early mobilization and protective measures are applied in necessary cases. ❗Factors that can increase the risk • Smoking and nicotine use (including e-cigarettes): quitting is recommended. • Diabetes, circulatory disorders, connective tissue diseases • Obesity / high BMI: surgery may be postponed. • The need for very large volume reductions • Blood-thinning medications or certain supplements BREASTFEEDING AFTER BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY In breast reduction surgery, especially in women of childbearing age, techniques that preserve the nipple and mammary glands are preferred to maintain breastfeeding function. Breastfeeding is physically possible after surgery, but milk production may vary. The baby's needs may be fully met, or supplemental formula may be needed. In some cases, milk may be produced, but the quantity may be very low. Breastfeeding may not be the same for every breast reduction patient. Frequently Asked Questions? Are breast reduction and breast lift the same procedure? In breast reduction surgery, excess tissue is removed, and the breast is simultaneously lifted and firmed. Therefore, in most cases, reduction and firming are performed together. Can breast reduction surgery be performed under local anesthesia? Due to the size of the surgical area and the scope of the operation, it is performed under general anesthesia. Does the position of the nipple change during breast reduction surgery? Yes, in most nipple reduction procedures, the nipple-areola is repositioned higher. This is done using different methods depending on the technique employed. Can nipple sensation be lost during breast reduction surgery? Temporary decreased sensation/numbness is common. It resolves over time in most patients; rarely, permanent sensory changes may occur. How many days will I experience pain after breast reduction surgery? In the first few days, you may experience tension, tenderness, and pain. The pain, especially at the stitches, will decrease within a few days. How many days should I rest after breast reduction surgery? Rest is required for one week after surgery. Return to work is recommended 6-7 days after office work, and within two weeks at the latest for physically demanding jobs. Do I absolutely have to wear a medical bra after breast reduction surgery? Yes, wearing a medical bra in the first few weeks helps control swelling and pain. You can switch to more comfortable bras after 4-6 weeks. When will I see the results of breast reduction surgery? Swelling subsides within weeks, and the relief from the weight is felt immediately after surgery. It takes 6 months for the breast shape to settle and for the scars to fully heal. Will the breasts grow back / sag? Weight gain, pregnancy, aging, and gravity can all cause changes over time. Weight control and wearing a proper bra can help maintain the results.

With aging, loosening of all tissues of the face, from bone to skin, and accumulation of loosened tissues in the jaw area and neck due to gravity disturb people. With face lift surgeries, loosened tissues are brought back up. Facelift surgeries aim to reduce the effects of your age on your face, aging does not stop. When are the Face Lift and Neck Lift surgeries performed? In the past, facelift surgeries were generally recommended after the age of 50. Today, with the development of surgical techniques, more moderate and effective surgeries can be performed at early ages. The important thing is to erase the traces of aging with an appropriate approach in the appropriate patient. How is Face and Neck Lift Surgery Performed? Different types of surgery such as MACs lift, Extended lift, High Smas, SubSmas, Composite Face Lift have been defined according to the face type of the people in Face and Neck Lift. In the classical facelift, an incision is made, generally starting from the upper part of the ear, continuing in front of the ear and ending in the upper part of the skin. The tissues of the face are released and the loosened structures are suspended in the upper tissues and the excess skin is removed. While working in this area, a very careful surgery is applied because it is worked in the area where the facial nerves are dense. Face Lift can be applied alone or in conjunction with a neck lift. In addition, rhinoplasty, eyebrow lift, forehead lift, dermabrasion, eyelid aesthetics, lip aesthetics can be applied in the same session with face lift. Face and Neck Lift Surgery Process ? These surgeries should be performed in full-fledged hospitals under general anesthesia. Preoperative planning is very important. Depending on the procedure, it may take 6-8 hours. After the operation, a special face corset is worn. It is normal to have mild pain, swelling and bruising in the first days. In general, it requires 1 day of hospitalization. 1st or 2nd day after surgery The drains placed to drain the blood inside are removed. Recovery Face and Neck Lift? The person can wash their hair on the 2nd or 3rd day after the operation. All sutures can be removed on the 5th day. There may be facial edema, loss of sensation due to payment, these improve over time. In the first 2 months, heavy exercise, sauna and sunbathing are restricted. Full recovery may take 3-6 years. Negative Conditions After Face and Neck Lift? Temporary or very rarely permanent nerve damage may occur because facelift surgeries are performed by working close to the facial nerves. Asymmetry, long-term improvement of edema, bleeding, infection, scarring, and prominent scars can be counted as other negative conditions.
