Clinic Overview
Egemed Aesthetic, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery Clinic
Aesthetic, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery is an extremely broad and specialized branch of medicine concerned with the repair and reconstruction of form (shape) and function (structure) abnormalities in the human body in accordance with medical standards, as well as the enhancement of a person’s physical appearance in line with their own expectations.
At Egemed Hospitals, our core philosophy in this department is not to view beauty as merely a matter of outward appearance, but to enhance our patients’ quality of life by preserving both their physical and psychological well-being. Whether it involves congenital anomalies or tissue and organ losses resulting from accidents, trauma, or post-cancer surgery, these conditions are treated by our specialist surgeons in operating rooms equipped with modern medical technologies.
Reconstructive Surgery: Reconstruction
"Reconstruction," which forms the foundation of plastic surgery, literally means "to rebuild." It involves restoring tissue and function lost due to accidents, infections, tumor surgeries, or congenital conditions using tissue harvested from other parts of the body (via microsurgical techniques). The primary reconstructive surgeries performed at our clinic include:
- Congenital Anomalies: Treatment of cleft lip and cleft palate in infants, and anatomical reconstruction of congenital hand and facial deformities.
- Maxillofacial Surgery: Surgical correction of fractures and deformities in the jaw and facial bones resulting from traffic accidents or severe trauma.
- Treatment of Skin Tumors (Cancers): The complete surgical removal of malignant lesions on the skin and the closure of the resulting tissue defect in accordance with aesthetic principles.
- Burn and Scar Repair: Release of contractures resulting from severe burns; reduction of the visibility of scars through surgical methods.
Our Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
Cosmetic surgery refers to procedures performed not out of medical necessity, but to address a person’s dissatisfaction with their body image, restore their self-confidence, and help them achieve more proportionate body contours. At Egemed Hospitals, cosmetic procedures are planned in accordance with realistic goals, tailored to each individual’s anatomical structure and tissue quality:
Facial and Head Aesthetics
- Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty): Simultaneous correction of aesthetic appearance and resolution of breathing problems (deviation).
- Facelift: The surgical tightening of sagging facial and neck tissue caused by aging and the effects of gravity.
- Prominent Ears (Otoplasty): Reshaping the ear cartilage to restore its natural angle (Can be performed in both children and adults).
- Jaw and Cheekbone: Surgical procedures involving bone reshaping or the placement of implants (prosthetics) to achieve facial harmony (the golden ratio).
Body Contouring
- Liposuction: The removal of localized fat deposits (abdomen, hips, double chin) that are resistant to diet and exercise using vacuum or laser/Vaser technologies.
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): A surgical procedure to correct sagging skin and muscle laxity in the abdominal area—particularly following significant weight loss or childbirth—and to create a flat abdominal contour.
- Genital Area Surgeries: Specialized gynecological-aesthetic surgeries such as labiaplasty (inner labia aesthetics) and vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening) performed for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
Breast Aesthetic Surgery
- Breast Augmentation: The procedure to enlarge breasts that are naturally small or have lost volume due to weight loss or breastfeeding, using FDA-approved silicone implants or fat transfer.
- Breast Reduction: The reduction and alleviation of large breasts—which can cause back and neck pain as well as postural abnormalities (kyphosis)—to bring them in line with anatomical proportions.
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): A procedure to reshape and lift sagging breast tissue that retains adequate volume.
Why Should a Hospital Setting Be Preferred for Cosmetic Surgery?
All surgical procedures, including cosmetic surgeries, carry certain medical risks. The greatest advantage of surgeries performed at Egemed Hospitals is that they are conducted in fully equipped and sterile operating room conditions, rather than in office or clinic (back-alley) settings.
Our experienced Anesthesia and Resuscitation team ensures your vital functions are protected throughout the procedure, while our hospital’s intensive care infrastructure and multidisciplinary support (Cardiology, Internal Medicine, etc.) provide the highest level of patient safety in the event of any emergency. Just as beauty and aesthetics are important to you, your health and safety are equally our top priority.
