Plastic Surgery

Events that disrupt the shape and functions of the body can be congenital, traumatic or of bodily origin.

In summary; Plastic Surgery tries to repair all kinds of defects (spaces) affecting the skin, subcutaneous and bones on the entire body surface. While doing this, the simple condition is to make repairs with tissues similar to whichever tissues have been lost.

Aesthetic Surgery

It is a sub-branch within plastic surgery. Aesthetic surgery deals with operations and attempts to make the body image more pleasing and perfect. There are more aesthetic problems than a medical problem here. In the media, news about the aesthetic aspect of plastic surgery is more common, and perhaps for this reason, the public perceives plastic surgeons as people who only perform aesthetic surgery. However, plastic surgeons mostly deal with repair surgery (reconstructive surgery) in clinics. All plastic surgeons also receive aesthetic surgery training during their specialization training and are the only surgeons authorized to perform these operations. Aesthetic surgery requires a long education and experience. Such operations require both surgical and artistic skill. In plastic surgery, not always aesthetic but sometimes medical problems are solved.

In our country, breast plastic surgery (enlargement-reduction-lift), nose plastic surgery (rhinoplasty), body contour surgery (liposuction, lipectomy, abdominoplasty), face lift-renewal, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), auricular correction (scoop ear) are frequently performed. It is among the aesthetic operations performed. It is necessary to apply to specialist plastic surgeons for aesthetic surgery operations. The efforts of doctors in other fields to perform aesthetic surgery create many medical, ethical and judicial problems, and patients in incompetent hands face complications that are very difficult to correct. Therefore, if the patients need to apply to the Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Surgeons while choosing a surgeon, it will be in their best interest to look at their diplomas about their education.
