Clinical focus

In aesthetic surgery, Dr. Özyılmaz performs rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and breast reduction. He also carries out combined body procedures such as the mommy makeover and facial contouring procedures such as bichectomy (cheek reduction). Suitability for any of these procedures is assessed individually, taking into account the patient’s history, expectations and overall health.

His reconstructive work includes the management of craniosynostosis, a craniofacial condition, as part of his reconstructive surgery practice. Wound care and cosmetic dermatology are further areas of his practice, covering wound management and non-surgical treatments of the skin. Treatment plans are discussed with each patient after clinical assessment, and the options are explained together with what can and cannot be expected from them.

How Dr. Özyılmaz works with international patients

Dr. Özyılmaz 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 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 options, with attention to the patient’s individual concerns, treatment goals and suitability for the planned procedure. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before travelling.
