You intended to correct the visual problem on your body or face that bothers you, but you were frightened by what you heard from the environment and chose to live with this problem for the rest of your life. However, you may have missed the possibility of obtaining a healthy and effective solution with developing plastic surgery or non-surgical aesthetic methods. Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialist Operator Dr. Orhan Erbaş states that "having the right information will lead to the right decision" at this stage and explains the current developments regarding aesthetics.
What should people who are considering an aesthetic procedure do? should?
The only way to make the right decision is to have the right information. Only a physician who specializes in this field can provide you with information about every positive or negative aspect of the procedure you are considering. The internet is of course an important source of information, but it also contains a lot of misinformation. It should not be forgotten that each patient's situation is different. While a method is good for many people, it may not be right for you. Giving up on a treatment with incorrect information may cause you to carry a problem that can be easily corrected for life. Plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeons have completed five or six years of specialization training, and I recommend that they benefit from this experience in the decision-making process. These operations should be performed by people who can provide solutions in case of a possible complication. After the equipment of the person who will perform the procedure, attention should be paid to the equipment of the place where the application will be performed.
What is your biggest difficulty in the practice of your job?
The implementation of our job requires great effort and concentration, but that is not the difficult part. Applications performed by people with inadequate equipment negatively affect the perception of aesthetics in society. In addition, some treatments are described with more exaggeration than they deserve, creating excessive expectations. Trying to correct misinformation also makes our job difficult.
What is the secret of your success in aesthetic procedures?
I think the philosophical side of the job is important, the respect I have for the human body and the care I show are part of our job. foundation. Efforts to obtain natural and healthy products are also important for long-term happiness. I am grateful to have produced solutions for many patients. Experience is important for predicting the outcome of the transaction and the success of the transaction. Following new methods and trying to do better keeps us dynamic.
The demand for aesthetics is increasing every year, what are the reasons for this?
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic According to Surgery data, the demand for aesthetic procedures in general is increasing. I think the most important reason for this is that people's self-esteem increases. It is also an encouraging fact that those who look more beautiful and healthy in business and social life are one step ahead. When all these are combined with the procedures becoming easier, safer, more successful and even more affordable, that is, as people find solutions, the demand increases.
What situation are we in aesthetic procedures in Turkey?
Turkish doctors have proven themselves in the field of aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery with their knowledge and skills. We compensate for our technology gap by closely following the developments, especially in America, but unfortunately by importing the devices. High-level treatments by choosing the most appropriate devices and materials, the success of patient care and accommodation services, ease of transportation and low cost have enabled many patients living abroad to choose us.
What are the plastic surgeries you most frequently perform? ?
I frequently perform rhinoplasty, breast aesthetics, body shaping with LASER liposuction, tummy tuck, face lift, eyelid surgeries, hair transplantation and fat injection.
How are men interested in aesthetics?
The number of applications is very high, especially due to the breast enlargement problem we call gynecomastia. Since this situation is independent of excess weight, it cannot be solved by losing weight or exercising. Very effective solutions have been produced for men who used to try to hide their breasts, had poor posture, could not go to the sea or the pool, or could not wear tight clothes. This should not be differentiated as male or female, it is very natural that men want to look masculine, women want to look feminine and both want to look healthy. We actually bring people closer to nature as well as beauty. Just like we try to reduce men's breasts.
You also perform non-surgical aesthetics, here's your perspective on these procedures. How is my face?
I use many methods, especially botox, filler, fibroblast cell culture, focused ultrasound, platelet-rich plasma and LASER. These are very successful methods when used correctly and on the right patient. However, it is necessary to know that their effects are limited in large deformities. I recommend this type of treatment mostly to patients in their thirties and forties. Combining it with surgeries at an older age will further increase success.
What kind of a change have the innovations in aesthetics caused?
Is it "very difficult" regarding aesthetic procedures? Many questions such as "Is it safe? When will I return to work?" are in the minds of those considering these procedures. In search of solutions to these questions, scientific and technological developments, starting from the cellular level and extending to a wide area such as ultrasound and LASER, continue rapidly. Thanks to these developments, aesthetic procedures that are easier to perform, more effective, and even safer than before are now possible. Body shaping with LASER Lipolysis, young and taut skin with fibroblast cell cultures, reducing facial sagging with focused ultrasound are some examples of these. In addition, the content of fillers has been greatly improved. In this way, more specific solutions were produced for different parts of the face and lips, and the risk of foreign body reaction decreased significantly. More natural results have begun to be achieved.
What advances are there in the Surgical part of the work?
The shape, size and content alternatives of breast implants have increased so much that breast augmentation During and lifting procedures, a near-natural appearance is achieved. In tummy tuck surgeries, LASER is combined with Lipolysis to provide better body contours. In rhinoplasty surgeries, techniques that prioritize breathing are used more. The harmony of the nose with other parts of the face is examined in more detail, and computer programs provide the patient with a clearer prediction for the post-procedure. We maintain the nose as a dynamic, that is, moving organ, in order not to disrupt breathing. We achieve more natural results by keeping the direction of the lift vector upwards in face lift surgeries.
Developments in the LASER Lipolysis method and classical body shaping of LASER Lipolysis
strong>differences from other methods What is it?New LASER lipolysis systems provide highly effective fat destruction and skin tension by integrating additional wavelengths and increasing their power. LASER systems provide the stretching effect on the skin by heating the tissue. We determine with the temperature sensors on the LASER system that we have reached the temperature that will provide tension on the skin but will not cause burns. In addition, motion sensors reduce the energy given when the surgeon slows down and protect from burns. Lipolysis, or destruction, of fat tissue with LASER also allows for a more homogeneous and easier aspiration. Except for small areas such as jowls, the destroyed fat is removed from the body by aspiration during the procedure. Other advantages of the system include the use of a shorter corset and less bruising compared to classical liposuction procedures. The procedure is performed with very small incisions. However, it should not be forgotten that this procedure is also a surgical intervention and of course there is a recovery period depending on the area to be performed.
Who is LASER Lipolysis suitable for?
For body contour disorders. An ideal system. For example, it is very effective in the waist, hips, around the knees, upper inner legs, back and abdomen. It is also used for slimming arms, jowls and ankles. If male breast enlargement is not at a very advanced stage, a solution is possible with this system. Other methods should be used to lose weight in overweight patients or in cases of sagging resulting from high amounts of weight loss.
How does focused ultrasound, also known as non-surgical face and neck lift, work? How is it different from other methods?
Ultrasonic sound waves focus on the desired tissue depth and create small heat damages that increase collagen production in the connective tissue under the skin, without damaging the upper layer of the skin. In this way, the skin creates its own repair process and starts producing new collagen, and the skin tightening and upward stretching effect manifests itself. The most important difference here from other methods that aim to shrink the tissue by heating is that it bypasses the upper layers of the skin and focuses the ultrasound energy on the tissue called SMAS, which we aim to reduce in face lift surgeries. After the application, the regeneration process begins immediately, a slight stretching effect is seen even at the first moment. Skin After the application, it starts to look better day by day, you feel your skin better after a week, the effects become visible after a month, and the desired result is observed at the end of three months. Skin tightening with focused ultrasound is a single-session procedure and is repeated within six months at the earliest and within a year at the latest. Since it stimulates collagen production in the skin and causes shrinkage in SMAS tissue, the result obtained is long-lasting. Having different heads that can focus the energy to the desired depth, it offers a wide range of treatment alternatives for the face, neck and body, for wrinkle reduction and tightening. The person can easily continue his daily life after the procedure and does not experience any restrictions. The procedure takes about half an hour.
How do you see the future of Aesthetic Procedures?
I think that studies in the field of genetics will be reflected in aesthetics, but this will take time. Today, correcting existing deformities constitutes the majority of our cases, and I predict that in the future, young individuals will increase awareness of procedures aimed at preserving the current situation.
