Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is an area in which operations are performed to eliminate congenital or acquired anomalies, deformities and functional disorders. All types of deformities and functional disorders of the body, congenital, traumatic or acquired, involve Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The treatment of congenital syndactyly (webbing of the fingers), cleft palate-lips, traumatic injuries, organ ruptures, acquired skin and soft tissue tumours, as well as many other deformities and dysfunctions, are performed by doctors who are specialized in plastic surgery. In addition to disorders on the body surface, pathological conditions such as malformations and tissue disorders, losses, tumours and cysts in the skin, bones and cartilage are also concern of plastic surgery. In addition to surgical methods, microsurgery, endoscopy and laser applications, as well as various chemical agents and drugs, are used in this field.
The main repair operations performed in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery include burn treatments, treatment of elephantiasis and tissue repair surgeries. Plastic surgeons repair wounds that are associated with tissue loss due to various reasons such as traffic accidents, burns and work accidents. Tissue repair is a process of transporting the skin or subcutaneous tissue taken from a part of the body to the injured area. This procedure varies according to the size and depth of the wound. Today, tissues obtained from the leg, the groin or even the bones can be transported to the areas of injury using microsurgical methods. With this method, used especially in the treatment of burns, subcutaneous tissue and skin transplantations can be performed and burn scars can be cured.
AESTHETIC SURGERY
Aesthetic Surgery aims to make the body look more beautiful and perfect, and eliminate the effects of the areas that are considered as defective or improving the effects of aging. Its main subject is to solve aesthetic problems, not medical problems. However, sometimes it is necessary to get support from aesthetic surgery after the solution of a medical problem. For example, rhinoplasty, which is an aesthetic nose surgery, is also applied to some patients due to breathing problems other than correcting the shape of the nose. In aesthetic surgery, sometimes non-surgical treatments are also administered. Smaller incisions are particularly preferred because of the shorter healing process.
Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery operations are carried out in hospitals that are part of the medical network of Ibni Sina Health and have hygienic conditions with technological devices. Highly skilled plastic surgeons who are experts in their field perform the operations. Nose aesthetics (rhinoplasty), tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast aesthetics are the most preferred surgical procedures.
NOSE AESTHETICS (RHINOPLASTY)
Nose aesthetics is the process of reshaping the nose without disturbing its functions. In addition to correcting the shape of the nose, bone and cartilaginous curvature, which make breathing difficult, are also treated during nose aesthetics. 3D rhinoplasty, one of the best examples of the use of advanced technology in the medical field, offers the person the opportunity to see how they will have a nose after surgery.
While determining the new shape of the nose, many details are taken into consideration such as the shape of the face, the angle of the nose with the lip and the forehead. Therefore, nose aesthetics should be performed by experienced doctors and experienced teams.
Nose aesthetics (rhinoplasty) should be performed after the age of 17- 18, when the nose has completed its development. Rhinoplasty is done under general anesthesia. The aim of nose surgery is to make a nose which suits to the face and looks natural.
BREAST SURGERY
The breasts, which are among the most aesthetic areas in the female body, lose their form due to various reasons. The sagging of the breasts after the pregnancy and breastfeeding, or due to decrease in its volume and impact of gravity due to aging are examples of changes that occur in breasts. Breast aesthetics helps to shape breasts so they look full, upright and appropriate in size. For various reasons, women undergo surgeries for breast augmentation, reduction or uplift. Breast size is enhanced with the help of silicone implants. In the breast uplift operation, the size of the dark area around the nipple is reduced and the breast tissue is shaped and uplifted. Silicone implants are used if breast tissue is not sufficient. Aesthetic breast surgery is also performed for breast reconstruction following cancer surgery. It is usually sufficient to stay in hospital for a day after breast surgery.
TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY)
Skin sagging and cracks occur in the abdomen after pregnancy, rapid weight gain and loss, especially after gastric surgery. The skin in the abdomen, which does not get stretched by diet and exercise, is tightened by aesthetic tummy tuck surgery and abdominal muscles are tightened.
Excessive skin is removed while abdominal muscles are stretched and abdominal muscles are strengthened. Liposuction can be usually performed during surgery. Better results are achieved when tummy tuck surgery and liposuction are performed together.
