Clinical focus

Dr. Altundağ’s clinical work covers both the aesthetic and the reconstructive branches of plastic surgery. In aesthetic plastic surgery, treatment is planned around the individual patient’s anatomy, expectations and general health, and the consultation includes a discussion of what surgery can and cannot realistically achieve, as well as the possible risks. Reconstructive surgery addresses tissue defects and functional or structural problems that may follow injury, disease or previous treatment; the approach depends on the location and extent of the problem and on the patient’s overall condition.

Reconstructive microsurgery is a further area of his practice. It relies on magnification and fine instruments to work on small blood vessels and nerves, for example when tissue is moved from one part of the body to another to close a defect. Whether an aesthetic, reconstructive or microsurgical approach is suitable, and which option is preferable, is assessed on a case-by-case basis after clinical examination and a review of the relevant records. In some situations, patients may be advised that surgery is not indicated or that a staged plan is more appropriate.

How Dr. Altundağ works with international patients

Dr. Altundağ consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. 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, including their limitations. Video consultation is available for international patients who would like to speak with Dr. Altundağ before deciding whether to travel.
