Aesthetic interventions are performed for the improvement of appearance, while reconstructive surgery improves functional performance in addition to aesthetic aspects. The department's plastic surgeons specialize in surgery in the face and whole body. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Deniz İşcen.
It is carefully planned prior to the operation, the expected result is modeled using special computer programs. Thus, the patients can be sure that the outcome of the operation will be optimal.
In addition, the department's doctors devote enough time to counseling patients: they answer all questions, give detailed information about the intervention and follow-up rehabilitation measures.
