After breast implant surgery, the body naturally forms a thin “capsule” of tissue around the implant. Normally, this capsule is soft and elastic. However, in some patients, the capsule may thicken, harden, and tighten over time, squeezing the implant. This condition is called capsular contracture. It may present with firmness, shape change, asymmetry, and sometimes pain. The following information is designed to help you recognize early signs and plan a safe pathway with your surgeon.

Liposuction is one of the most commonly preferred aesthetic surgery procedures to reduce unwanted fat deposits in the body and achieve a slimmer, more proportionate silhouette. Fat that accumulates in areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, back and arms is removed by liposuction and the body is reshaped. In recent years, however, liposuction has evolved beyond being only a slimming procedure and has become a powerful tool for reshaping through fat transfer and fat injection.

Plastic surgery is an important decision that can influence both your appearance and your quality of life. Choosing the right surgeon is crucial — but choosing the right season for surgery is also just as important. Seasonal conditions can affect your recovery, comfort, daily routine, and even your emotional adaptation after surgery.

So, which season is the best time for plastic surgery? Below, we review every season with its real-life advantages and challenges.

Modern aesthetic surgery does more than enhance physical appearance — it can also significantly improve a person’s self-confidence. One of the most highlighted areas for many women is the hip region. Round, fuller and well-defined hips are often associated with feminine beauty. For this reason, hip expansion and hip dips correction have become increasingly popular procedures in recent years.

The abdominal area is not only important for aesthetic appearance but also for overall health. Factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancies, and aging may weaken abdominal muscles, loosen the skin, and even lead to hernia formation. This situation may cause both aesthetic concerns and health problems.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles. Hernia repair, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure performed to close tears or weaknesses in the abdominal wall. So, can these two procedures be performed together?

The abdomen is one of the most defining areas of body aesthetics. While regular exercise and a healthy diet are essential for a toned abdomen, stubborn fat deposits can sometimes prevent abdominal muscles from becoming visible. At this point, HD (High Definition) Liposuction stands out as a modern surgical technique that not only removes fat but also highlights muscle contours.

So, what is HD liposuction, how does it differ from classical liposuction, and what kind of results does it provide for abdominal shaping?

Many patients planning aesthetic or reconstructive surgery ask an important question at the beginning of their journey: “Is my BMI suitable for surgery?” Body Mass Index (BMI) is not the only determining factor for surgical decision-making, but it is an important indicator that affects surgical safety, anesthesia risks, and the recovery process.

In this article, we will explain what BMI means, how different BMI ranges may influence surgical planning, and which factors should be considered before surgery.

Facial fat transfer is one of the most popular and effective techniques in aesthetic surgery. In this procedure, fat taken from the patient’s own body is injected into the face to restore lost volume, rejuvenate facial contours, and create a younger and fresher appearance. Over time, aging, weight changes, and gravity may cause volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging, giving the face a tired and older look.

With fat injection, the face regains fullness, vitality, and a more youthful expression. Moreover, the treatment is not limited to a single area—fat can be injected into multiple facial regions and may be combined with other aesthetic procedures for even more impressive results.

Aesthetic surgeries are performed to improve appearance and boost self-confidence. However, just like any surgical procedure, aesthetic operations inevitably leave a scar. The appearance of these scars is closely related to surgical technique, skin structure, healing capacity, and most importantly postoperative scar care.

Therefore, the success of aesthetic surgery is not determined only in the operating room; it also depends on how carefully the patient looks after their scars. So, how should scar care be managed after aesthetic surgery?

Aesthetic surgery aims to enhance appearance and boost self-confidence. However, achieving successful and long-lasting results depends not only on the surgeon’s expertise but also on the patient’s lifestyle. One of the most critical factors influencing surgical outcomes is smoking.

Smoking is one of the most harmful external factors affecting skin health. Smoking before and after aesthetic surgery can significantly slow the healing process and negatively affect the quality of results.
