Which Areas Does Mehmet Sürmeli Focus On?
Mehmet Sürmeli works across aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery. His primary areas include breast surgery, rhinoplasty, facial and neck rejuvenation, eyelid surgery and body contouring.
Breast surgery includes augmentation, reduction, breast lift and lift with implants.
Facial procedures include facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery and brow-related procedures.
Body contouring includes tummy tuck, liposuction, VASER liposuction, mommy makeover and buttock contouring.
Hair transplantation is also an important part of his clinical practice. Fat transfer, lip fillers and Botox are among his non-surgical and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments.
Breast Aesthetic Surgery
Breast surgery is one of the main areas of his professional practice. Breast augmentation, reduction and lift procedures can be planned according to individual anatomy.
For augmentation, chest structure, existing breast tissue and body proportions influence implant selection and placement.
Breast lift reshapes sagging tissue. In selected cases, breast lift and augmentation can be planned together.
Breast reduction removes selected amounts of tissue and skin while reshaping the breast.
The appropriate surgical approach depends on anatomy, skin quality, tissue characteristics and individual aesthetic goals.
Rhinoplasty and Nasal Aesthetics
Rhinoplasty is one of the main areas of his practice. The nasal bones, cartilage, bridge and tip are assessed during treatment planning.
Facial proportions are important when determining the desired nasal profile. The forehead, chin and cheeks may also influence planning.
Nasal tip shape, bridge height and nostril appearance can all be considered.
Breathing function can also be evaluated. Nasal obstruction or structural problems may require additional assessment.
Patients who have undergone previous nasal surgery may require revision rhinoplasty. Earlier surgical changes can influence the new approach.
Facial and Neck Rejuvenation
Facial and neck rejuvenation addresses age-related changes in the skin and facial soft tissues.
Facelift planning can consider the cheeks, lower face, jawline and neck. The extent of surgery depends on tissue laxity and skin characteristics.
Eyelid surgery can address excess skin and fat around the upper and lower eyelids.
Brow lift can also be considered for selected changes involving the upper face.
Facial rejuvenation focuses on overall facial proportions rather than only one individual area.
Body Contouring and Liposuction
Body contouring includes tummy tuck, liposuction, VASER liposuction and selected body shaping procedures.
Liposuction reduces selected fat deposits from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips and thighs.
VASER liposuction uses ultrasound-assisted technology to help remove selected fat deposits. Suitability depends on anatomy, fat distribution and skin characteristics.
Tummy tuck addresses excess abdominal skin and tissue. Pregnancy and major weight changes can contribute to abdominal changes that may be evaluated.
Body contouring procedures can sometimes be combined with breast surgery depending on the patient's health and surgical requirements.
Mommy Makeover and Buttock Contouring
Mommy makeover combines selected breast and abdominal procedures for women experiencing changes after pregnancy and childbirth.
Breast volume loss or sagging can be evaluated for breast lift or lift with implants.
Excess abdominal skin or fat can be addressed through tummy tuck and liposuction when appropriate.
Buttock contouring considers buttock volume, shape and the relationship between the waist and hips.
Fat transfer can be considered for selected patients depending on body composition and available donor tissue.
Hair Transplantation and Hair Restoration
Hair transplantation transfers hair follicles from a donor area to areas affected by hair loss.
Before treatment, the pattern of hair loss, donor area and recipient region are evaluated.
Hairline design considers facial proportions, age and existing hair density.
The number of grafts depends on donor follicle availability and the size of the recipient area.
Previous hair treatments and medications can also be relevant during consultation.
Different transplantation approaches can be considered according to hair characteristics and the pattern of hair loss.
Reconstructive Surgery and Other Areas
Reconstructive surgery addresses tissue and structural problems resulting from trauma, congenital abnormalities or other conditions.
Cleft lip and palate are among the congenital conditions evaluated within reconstructive plastic surgery.
Facial fractures are another area requiring reconstruction. Treatment planning can include bone structures, soft tissues and facial function.
Otoplasty and hand surgery are also among his professional areas.
This combination of aesthetic and reconstructive experience allows different types of surgical concerns to be evaluated within one broader plastic surgery practice.
Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments
Non-surgical aesthetic treatments include Botox, fat transfer, lip fillers and other facial aesthetic procedures.
Botox can reduce the appearance of expression-related lines. The forehead, glabella and areas around the eyes are commonly evaluated.
Lip fillers can increase or reshape lip volume and contour. Product amount and injection sites are selected according to individual facial anatomy.
Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from another body area and transferring it to selected regions.
Previous aesthetic treatments, existing injectable products and medical history should be reviewed before new procedures.
