About the Department of Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Memorial Ankara Hospital
The Department of Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Memorial Ankara Hospital offers the full range of services in this field and specializes in correcting imperfections in appearance, postoperative defects, consequences of trauma, congenital anomalies. The department demonstrates extremely high rates of success in the surgical treatment, thanks to which it enjoys an excellent reputation not only in Turkey, but also in many foreign countries. The surgical interventions are performed in operating rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology, according to the clinical protocols of professional Turkish and European societies. The patients are guaranteed an individual approach, complete confidentiality and excellent results that will allow them to get rid of complexes and gain self-confidence. The Chief Physician of the department is PD Dr. med. Ozan Luay Abbas.
The department uses the most advanced surgical techniques to correct defects in appearance of various origins. The priority is given to sparing minimally invasive techniques, after which recovery takes place within just a few days. Today, it is this type of surgery that is considered the "gold standard" and a global trend. However, depending on the complexity of the clinical case and medical indications, classical open surgery may also be required.
It is worth noting that the doctors of the department widely use 3D modeling systems, which make it possible to assess the result of the operation in advance and avoid unwanted results. For example, a patient comes to the department with a desire to reshape the nose, because he believes that reducing the size of the external nose will contribute to a more harmonious appearance of his face. Before the operation, the doctor conducts an examination, studies the patient's anamnesis and models volumetric images of the final result of the surgical intervention using the computer 3D system. Having seen the result of the operation, the patient can change his wishes, while the surgeon, who performs operations of this kind every day, can give his additional recommendations and imagine them using the 3D modeling system. Thus, the department's surgeons have all the resources to optimally plan the surgical intervention and achieve a result that will fully satisfy the patient.
