Talking about beauty from a city full of paintings of beauty and splendor can have a special luster. Istanbul is a city where East meets West, vegetables meet blue, and water meets land. Each of its landmarks has a story of a distinct beauty. You may find it in the deliciousness of a cup of tea sipping on the brides hill, or in the breath of fresh air as you dissolve in the story of a palace, the shadow of a mosque, or the crowded market…
Although the standards of beauty differ from one country to another, plastic surgery, the subject of this article, is a surgery that takes care of the smallest aesthetic details, both necessary and perfect, and it is a branch of medicine that requires high precision, expertise, and high and distinct techniques. It is one of the medical branches that are influenced by the aesthetic doctor’s taste and skill, in order to achieve the best results, the most accurate in terms of beauty and quality. It is one of the surgeries that has become one of the distinguished medical branches in Turkey in general and Istanbul in particular. After those wishing for such surgeries were moving from country to country, many of them sought what they required in many Turkish medical centers and hospitals, which are distinguished today in this field, starting from the simplest operations to the major plastic surgeries that the world witnessed in Turkey for the first time, perhaps as transplants. The face in which Turkey’s medical centers competed to achieve the needs, one after the other…
What I would like to touch on today is perhaps a detail of this important medical branch, which many people think only looks at matters of medical luxuries, perhaps such as breast augmentation, skin tightening, or lip augmentation, which are usually requirements of art, music and screen people. But the truth of the matter is that this medical branch is a branch that contributes to evaluating many diseases that affect human life negatively, whether it is a major impact such as burns and disfigurement, or as small as hair loss. It is, in short, that cosmetic medicine that helps you to get rid of the sources of nuisance that you see in your body and affect your life and psyche.
To talk in more detail, I will work on introducing many of the operations that plastic surgery provides to patients, while explaining the importance of each of these operations in a way that everyone can understand.
Rhinoplasty: The nose is one of the places that most attract people’s attention in their measurement of beauty. Although it is one of the simplest organs in the human body, it is one of the most important because it secures comfortable inhalation of air. The slightest narrowness in it may affect human life in a very disturbing way… Perhaps the best evidence of this is what we suffer from insomnia. Fatigue and difficulty breathing in cases of influenza, in which the nose and stuffy nose are often the most difficult.
So, rhinoplasty are operations that are not only seen as cosmetic surgeries for the view of the nose, but are precise operations, especially to modify problems related to breathing, snoring, etc…. Through cosmetic rhinoplasty, it has become possible to reduce the dimensions of the nose, removing the belt on the nose Getting rid of the edge of the nose, lengthening or shortening the nose, changing the edge of the nose, narrowing or enlarging the nostrils, adjusting the folds in the nose, treating breathing problems, helping to modify and correct some respiratory problems and nasal injuries in addition to genetic nasal abnormalities.
Another type of cosmetic surgery is breast operations. Although most of us have heard of breast augmentation operations in women, few have heard about breast reduction operations in men or what is known medically as gynecomastia cases, i.e. the large breasts that often emerge during puberty and some of them remain in a way that constitutes a great embarrassment for these .
Before addressing male breast reduction operations, I must point out the importance of breast augmentation operations for women who have real problems in this regard, congenital or secondary, formed by other reasons such as pregnancy, lactation and aging. In such cases, the breast may not return to its normal size, which leads to significant flabbiness that affects the wife’s life very negatively in many cases. These breast augmentation operations are among the safest and most secure operations today. These operations do not affect the incidence of breast cancer cases, as scientific research conducted over a period of thirty years has proven equal in the incidence of breast cancer among those who underwent breast augmentation and other women. Not to mention that breast cancer cases are one of the most common reasons why many women use this technique to restore the natural shape of their body after suffering from a cancerous disease that caused them to lose this part of their body.
Likewise, breast reduction operations are also one of the operations that relieve many types of suffering in women, such as back, shoulder and neck pain, and the visible and annoying effects caused by bras, and breast pain in addition to multiple problems such as constant itching, and redness under the breast. Perhaps shyness is also one of the important reasons that cause many women to search for a way to reduce their breasts, especially when there is a big difference between one side and the other. It is worth talking about here, that these reduction operations do not affect the process of breastfeeding in the future because this type of operation preserves the functional breast tissue and milk ducts.
It is worth mentioning here that breast reduction operations are, as we mentioned, operations that many men also need because of the aforementioned gynecomastia condition. In this case, the process of breast reduction consists in removing the excess fat from the large breast, which provides the young man with the ability to return to his previous appearance and his majestic masculinity. This type of operation has two forms: the liposuction method and the surgical method. In both cases, the application is painless and without bleeding.
As for breast lift operations, although they are purely cosmetic operations, they are sometimes a necessity for some
