Clinical focus

In aesthetic surgery, Dr. Kendir performs breast augmentation and breast reduction, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, surgical facelift, and bichectomy. His body procedures include abdominoplasty, liposuction-assisted body contouring, and the combined procedures sometimes described as a mommy makeover. He also offers cosmetic dermatology treatments. Whether a given procedure is appropriate depends on the individual patient’s health, anatomy, and expectations, which are assessed during consultation.

On the reconstructive side, Dr. Kendir’s practice includes reconstructive surgery with a focus on advanced limb reconstruction, the management of skin tumors, and wound care. His published work reflects an interest in replantation after finger amputation and in the use of muscle and perforator flaps to cover tissue defects.

How Dr. Kendir works with international patients

Dr. Kendir consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical reports and imaging before the visit, arranges appointments, and organizes the hospital stay. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and any previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the available options, including their limitations. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling.
