Clinical focus

Hair transplantation is a central part of Dr. Özbebit’s practice. In facial aesthetic surgery, his areas of expertise include rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). In breast and body surgery, he performs breast augmentation, breast reduction, and the combination of procedures commonly referred to as a mommy makeover. Whether a given procedure is appropriate depends on the individual patient’s anatomy, health status, and goals, which are assessed during consultation.

His non-surgical and minimally invasive work includes the following:

• Botulinum toxin injections
• Dermal fillers
• Mesotherapy
• Needle radiofrequency stretch mark treatment
• Treatment of excessive sweating

For each of these treatments, the expected results, limitations, and possible side effects are discussed with the patient beforehand so that decisions can be made on an informed basis.

How Dr. Özbebit works with international patients

Dr. Özbebit 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 laboratory and pathology results, operative notes, discharge summaries, and any relevant scans, 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 potential benefits and risks. Video consultations are available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Özbebit before traveling.
