Clinical focus

In aesthetic surgery, Dr. İskenderoğlu performs breast reduction and breast augmentation surgery and also sees patients with breast diseases. Her facial procedures include rhinoplasty, surgical facelift, buccal fat removal and non-surgical eyelid aesthetics. For patients seeking body contouring after pregnancy, she offers the combined approach known as the mommy makeover, and she provides cosmetic dermatology treatments as a non-surgical option.

Her reconstructive practice centers on advanced limb reconstruction and chronic wound care. In each case, she reviews the patient’s history, examination findings and any existing imaging before discussing which surgical or non-surgical options may be appropriate, along with their limitations and the expected recovery.

How Dr. İskenderoğlu works with international patients

Dr. İskenderoğlu consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organizes the hospital stay. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling, and any final treatment plan is confirmed after an in-person assessment.
