Alar reduction is applied for patients having flat/wide nostrils, an arrowhead nose or simply for those looking for a different look. In case of a nose tip plasty, the nostrils come closer habitually so alar reduction procedure may no longer be required.

The doctor's recommendation on how much the nostrils should be narrowed is important due to the fact that there is a healthy limit that can be applied. The surgery may be a simple case where wide alars are excised and sutured or it may be a more complex operation where the nostrils are also tied and brought together to ensure a sharper tip look. For cases which need alar reduction, please note that there is a limit to how narrow the nostrils can be shaped. It is important to follow the doctor’s advice when it comes to the width of your nostrils. Simple cases require a small portion of the alar to be excised and sutured. While the scars after the operation aren't visible, people with darker skin may have barely visible scarring for complex cases. Mediguide doctors will inform you in advance for all these facts. 

The surgery lasts 1 ½  to 2 hours.

Tip correction(tip plasty) is apllied to retune the nose tip, give it a sharper look and slightly reduce the width of the nose. There are various methods to pick from depending on the complexity of the case. The most simple cases will only require the nose tip tied and positioned. The surgeon may add a rib cartilage in the pocket depending on the case. As the complexity grows, the nose tip may need to be tied from inside and a cartilage taken from the septum or the ear would be grafted to support the tip. For further complexities, a strut is derived from the cartilage sample for the same purpose.

This procedure, due to its complexity, should only be carried out by rhinoplasty specialists. The challenge may vary from simple cases where we exise the cartilage in the upper part of the nose and reposition it downwards to match face proportions. If the case is more challenging, correcting the angle of the cartilage won't be enough by itself. There may be additional septal cartilage which may be transplanted on the spot to provide a better support and length of the nose tip. If our surgeon concludes that we may need a stronger support, we may also transplant an ear or rib cartilage.

This surgery is for people who has a nose tip pointing down or drooping like an arrow shape (a ptotic nose). This is due to the fact that the tip is longer than usual and creates a drooping effect causing a facial imbalance in the process. 

Due to its complex nature, this type of surgery should only be carried out by a rhinoplasty surgeon. Mediguide Istanbul works with the best doctors in Istanbul to ensure that you have an ease of mind before going under the operation. During the procedure, nose tip cartilage is excised to a limit in order to reduce the length of the nose tip. Remaining cartilage is relocated on the tip and near the septum so that it can be risen to a specific angle. The procedure may gain complexity in some cases where the nose tip is provided additional cartilage and a bridge implant is placed near the septum.

This is one of the most common occurences among nasal issues where the nostrils are wider than usual, cartilage structure is spread on sides and when there is excessive skin and fat tissue on the tip.

In those situations, nose tip can be improved to bring the rest of your face into balance. There are some simple cases where we use ear or septal cartilage to transplant and reshape the tip of the nose. We can also provide services for complicated cases where additional trimming of the existing cartilage will be required to spread it out. The new formation is sutured and shaped while the septum is raised to the proper angle. The complexity can increase further if excess fat and skin will be removed as well. In these cases, we raise the nose tip to match the nose bridge. Septum or ear cartilage is applied to reshape the look.

Humps and bumps along your nose can really disturb your face harmony especially when percieved from the sides. For these cases, we carry out an incision inside the nose and shave or rasp the humped or bumped area. Some patients may require their nose hump fractured and cartilage usage to keep the tip of the nose from drooping.

For severe cases, a rib cartilage can be used as well for the nose tip. Otherwise, the tip of the nose would become flat and cause dissatisfaction in following months. Our doctors advise for the correct angle that should be kept.

For patients looking for a solution for their wide nose bridge, we can reduce the sides via an osteotomic procedure to ensure a proportional perception of your face. While narrowing down the bridge width, we can also add cartilage for some cases so that the height to width ratio is kept optimum. Correct width of the nose differs between women and men, 10mm and 13 mm respectively. However, you may have different face dimensions as well, Mediguide doctors will assist you for the choice of your desired dimensions.

A crook nose may result in breathing problems, headaches, frequent or continious nasal congestions among many other issues.  A succesful septoplastic procedure inside the nose can help recover from nose bridge deviation. Cartilage is used for correction and then minor deviations are rasped. For some complex cases, we create a small fracture in the crooked area and reposition the bridge. If the crooked area extends towards nasal tip, a nasal tip correction is also carried out in combination with previous methods.

Unfortunately, nearly 40% of the revision patients in the world aren't satisifed with the results of their surgery due to incompetency or wrong choice of the surgeons.

This surgery is called V-line beacuse the purpose is to form a fresh V shape starting from your chin and angling towards your cheeks. It can be easily applied for large or wide jaws.

This type of surgeries effects the integrity of your facial perception: That's why there are numerous ratios to watch for and they should always be operated by qualified doctors having enough experience in that domain. The jaw width should be 4/5 of your forehead width which is measured by the direct horizontal line passing just above your eyebrows. The chin should respect similar ratios advised by your doctor according to your face dimensions and should be slim. The nose tip position compared to lips should also be taken into account.

Assymetric face cases are quite common among us varying from slight differences between the left and the right sides of the face to more severe disproportions. They may frequently be resulted from birth but also from damaged teeth, chewing habits and pysical impact.

Liposuction is a fat removing procedure from desired areas to eliminate aging effects and achieve a fit look. One of the most misunderstood fact is that liposuction isn't a permenant remedy for excess fat. It is true that you won't get fat in the operated area easily but if you have an unhealthy diet and life style, you may risk having the fat back to your body. 

Liposuction can be done either with a manual or powered medical equipment depending on wihich body part we are working on. Facial areas tend to be fragile so manual equipments are best qualified to work under the chin and neck.

You will need to wear a compression garment on treated area for the first month and during the night for the following two months. In case of bruises clumping in, you need to be patient. They move with gravity and can concentrate on curved bottom of your chin up to 4 months, fading away in time.

Our years can bring back a burden on our face, causing our face to droop and sags to form. The most reliable procedure for patients looing for a facial rejuvenation is skin removal via excision. Our doctors remove the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) tissue, pulls the skin upwards and removes excess skin. As a result, wrinkles and droopings are eliminated and patients receive a younger look. The incisions around the ears are barely visible after the surgery settles.

When the wrinkles and drooping skin on your face are lighter to be qualified for a full face lifting, this may be the procedure you would be interested. Mini-face lifting is a less invasive method concentrating on short incisions on deep facial tissues to tighten them. The incisions are done along the hair line above the ears so scarring will be invisible through time.

The results will be satisfactory for two main reasons: While it generates a younger look, it will also refresh your jawline.

The fat in our body collapses and denses on lower parts of a given area due to gravity in time. We experience this issue generally in sensitive areas like the forehead, cheeks, around the eyes and mouth. Lost fat results in a tired or a senescent look.

Our doctors can extract fat from one body part and transfer to another after processing. Some time later, half of the grafted fat will remain in place and will provide a younger look. The fat loss can be minimized with a coupled procedure two months after the first one. A PRP therapy can be applied as well to decrease the amount of loss.

If your body doesn't respond to diets and exercising, you may be qualified for body liposuction. It is a fat removing procedure from desired areas via a hollow tube called cannula and a powered vacuum equipment to eliminate aging effects and achieve a fit look.

Laser Lipolysis is a method enabling access to difficult or small body parts liquifying fat in these areas and removing with a power vacuum just like traditional liposuction.

One of the most misunderstood fact is that liposuction isn't a permenant remedy for excess fat. It is true that you won't get fat in the operated area easily but if you have an unhealthy diet and life style, you may risk having the fat back to your body. Another important point is that removing large amounts of fat at one time isn't a healthy solution and it disturbs the fat balance of the body. Consecutive surgeries should be planned following a consensus with your doctor.

Some women would like to fit in these new high boots they bought, some men find their calves too developed or some people complain about their bowed uneven or curved calves. Most people think that long and thin calves are the most beautiful but what matters most is the porportion and angle of your calves compared to other parts of the leg.

Ideally and for an average height person, we are looking for a 32-35 cm circumference around the calf muscles. For oversized calves, a combination of liposuction, muscle burn, nerve blocking or botulinum toxin A (temporary) can be applied. For bowed, uneven or curved calves, an incision is made at the crease of the back of the knee to place a silicone implant with an endescopic technique to balance the slant or unevenness.

A drainage may be placed during the surgery. Incision will then be stitiched, taped and covered by a gauze compression.

Please note that scars will be colored pink for 6-7 weeks and will remain their size for several months. After then they will soften and fade but they will never dissapear.

Breast reduction aims a smaller breast size for people: suffering from back, neck, shoulder pain, areolas pointing downwards, one breast bigger than the other, skin irritation under the breast, shoulder indentation due to tight bra straps, physical restriction or diffidence.

There are 3 different inicison methods that you can discuss with your doctor. If your breasts aren't oversized, areola circumference and the area immediately surrounding it are incised and brought together. For future mothers, a lollipop incision can be made in order to maintain breast feeding. For oversized breasts, areola circumference and below area down to breast fold is also incised.

After the incisions, excess breast tissue fat and skin are removed followed by repositioning of the nipple and areola. This procedure can be coupled with liposuction to contour the armpit area.

Our breasts can lose elasticity due to aging. Pregnancy, breast feeding and loss of weight may result in sagging breasts. If you experience a similar case, a lifting operation can save your day. Our doctors incise nipple circumference and below the nipple into a key hole shape. The excess skin is removed and remaining skin is brought together to narrow the nipple size after repositioning. The final shape resembles a lollipop covering the nipple and the perpendicular incision just below it so this technique is often called a "lollipop lifting" as well.  If there is a mild sagging, nipple circumference and its immediate surrounding area depending on the new position of the nipple may also be incised, removed and sutured directly. Mastopexy can be performed in combination with enlargement and reduction procedures depending on our patient's case.

Some patients may have a genetic abnormal development of breasts with a narrow base and high crease so that they have an alongated shape like a tube. The areola may often be larger than normal and the patient may complain about a high level of sagging. These cases come along with a high level of assymetry as well. 

Typically in a tuberous breast procedure, we enlarge and widen the breast base with a silicone implant, bring the inframammary crease down followed by lifting the breasts. In case of assymetry, nipples and aerolas are repositioned, breasts are reduced or enlarged.

This procedure requires a high level of experience so your first surgery and your doctor choice is the most important one. In Mediguide, we happen to meet a lot of patients who aren't satisfied with their first operation and seek our services to remedy their case.

Abnormal breast development is quite common for teenagers. Intensity of these anomalies can vary from minor differences to major assymetries. They may be related to various various categories causes such as the size and dimension of breasts, level of sagging, chest wall, nipple positions or skeletal posture.

Assymetric surgeries may require different procedures for each breast to ensure a more harmonious look. While breast augmentation is needed for one, breast reduction may be performed on the other. Level of lifting may change depending on their sagging level. Nipple positions may be different as well.

If you are about to have your breast removed (mastectomy) due to a breast cancer diagnosis, a breast tumor or a high risk of developing those, you are qualified for breast reconstruction. 

Before going further, let us inform you that we meet lots of patients every year with these issues and from our live experience, we guarantee you that it is not the end of the road. We understand that it is always hard to give up a part of your body, especially if it is one of them that defines our human nature. It is so normal to be anxious, sad and uncertain but Mediguide Istanbul will assist you to erase your doubts.

We can perform breast reconstruction after mastectomy, lumpectomy ( partial removal of the breast tissue) or any trauma or burn deformity. We can apply one of the four techniques or a combination of the latter to remedy your case. First option is to place a full silicone implant above or under your muscle. In Mediguide Istanbul, we prefer to place it under the muscle because we provide a more natural look and prevent capsule formations. A second option is to combine the first technique with skin expansion using tissue expanders. Another technique is to use your own tissue to form a new breast, either using muscles at your back or abdomen. We transfer the skin, tissue and the muscle from the original area and we hide the incision on your back to be covered by the bra straps. Lastly, we have the option to transfer the muscles, fat, skin and blood vessels from the lower belly wall. With this method, your belly will be tighter just likein tummy tuck procedure and we will hide the scar in low bikini line.
