A surgical branch in which congenital and non-natural (burns, accidents, cancers) anomalies are functionally and aesthetically evaluated, and treated.

Aesthetic Surgery (Cosmetic Surgery)

These are surgeries conducted to enhance beauty, not due to medical reasons but for aesthetic purposes. The aim here is to provide an aesthetic and proportional body appearance for the individual. The relevant body part (nose, breast, abdomen) is rendered more aesthetic and concordant with contours based on anatomic and aesthetic standards. Plastic surgeons are specially trained in aesthetic surgery during residency as well during their fellowship. They are specialists in these kinds of procedures. Aesthetic surgery requires long extensive training and experience. These kinds of operations require both surgical and artistic talent. In aesthetic surgery, aesthetics aren’t always the main concern; sometimes medical problems are solved. Surgical normalization of an obese body or hypertrophic breasts (gigantomastia) solves not only medical but also aesthetic problems. Not only does aesthetic normalization of an organ matter, but also its function matters. In rhinoplasty, both the shape of the nose is fixed and breathing problems are solved.

Aesthetic operations such as mammoplasty, rhinoplasty, body contouring surgery (liposuction, lipectomy, abdominoplasty), face lifting-renewal, blepharoplasty, and prominent ear surgery are some of the most frequently performed aesthetic operations in our country.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

This branch deals with any surgical problem occurring on the body surface; congenital, traumatic, or acquired problems that cause difficulty in the function and shape of the body. Plastic surgery encompasses congenital problems such as cleft lips/palates, syndactyly, tumors, and swellings; also encompassing acquired problems such as injuries following an accident, burns, various cuts and limb detachment, various skin and soft tissue tumors, and chronic wounds. Also, plastic surgery deals with face, head, and hand bone fractures, deformities, and other pathologic problems (tumor, cyst, infection, etc. Some aesthetic procedures utilize microsurgery, laser systems, endoscopy, and other chemical agents and medicines in place of conventional surgical procedures.

“Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” aims to normalize any kind of defect or anomaly anywhere on the body surface affecting the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and bones of the hand and face. While doing this, the fundamental rule is to aesthetically and functionally repair the damaged tissue with similar tissues.

• Skin and soft tissue tumors
• Congenital tumor, nevus (moles), masses, vein malformations, hemangioma
