His genital aesthetic work includes labiaplasty and vaginoplasty. Non-surgical services include Botox, facial fillers, lip fillers, chin fillers and mesotherapy.
Rhinoplasty and Nasal Aesthetics
Rhinoplasty is one of the main areas of his professional practice. The nasal bones, cartilage, bridge and tip can all be evaluated during treatment planning.
The proportions between the nose and the rest of the face are important. The forehead, chin and cheek structure may also be considered when planning nasal aesthetics.
Nasal breathing is another factor that can be assessed. Septal deviation, nasal obstruction or other structural issues may need to be considered during surgery.
Tip rhinoplasty can address the width, projection and shape of the nasal tip. The bridge and nostrils can also be included in the overall treatment plan.
Patients who have undergone previous nasal surgery may require revision rhinoplasty. Existing structural changes can influence the surgical approach.
Dr. Polat Yiğit's Breast Surgery Work
Dr. Polat Yiğit performs breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast lift procedures.
Breast augmentation planning considers chest structure, existing breast tissue and body proportions. Implant size and characteristics can be selected according to individual anatomy.
Breast reduction removes selected amounts of breast tissue and skin while reshaping the breast. Physical discomfort associated with larger breasts can also be discussed.
Breast lift reshapes sagging breast tissue and can address changes in nipple position and excess skin.
In selected cases, breast lift and augmentation may be combined. The treatment plan depends on the patient's anatomy and aesthetic expectations.
Gynecomastia Treatment
Gynecomastia involves increased breast tissue in men. Evaluation considers glandular tissue, fatty tissue and excess skin.
In some patients, fatty tissue is the dominant cause of chest enlargement. In others, glandular breast tissue may be more prominent.
Treatment can include liposuction, surgical removal of glandular tissue or a combination of both techniques.
Chest shape and symmetry are also considered. The aim is to create a chest contour compatible with the patient's overall body structure.
Facelift and Eyelid Surgery
Facelift surgery addresses age-related skin laxity and changes in facial soft tissues. The middle and lower face can be assessed as part of treatment planning.
The jawline, cheek area and the transition between the face and neck may also be considered.
Upper eyelid surgery can address excess skin and fat tissue. Lower eyelid procedures can address under-eye bags and tissue laxity.
The relationship between the brows, eyes and surrounding facial structures is important when planning eyelid surgery.
The extent of surgery depends on anatomy, skin characteristics and individual expectations.
Lip Lift and Buccal Fat Removal
Lip lift is a surgical procedure that changes the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose. Lip structure and overall facial proportions are considered before surgery.
Treatment planning can include upper lip length, lip shape and the relationship between the lips and nose.
Buccal fat removal, often referred to as Hollywood cheek surgery, reduces selected fat tissue within the cheek.
The volume of the cheek and overall facial structure are important when deciding whether the procedure is appropriate.
Because excessive volume reduction can alter facial proportions, the treatment should be planned according to individual anatomy.
Body Contouring and Liposuction
Body contouring includes liposuction, tummy tuck and arm lift procedures. Excess fat and skin can be evaluated together.
Liposuction reduces selected fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips and thighs.
Tummy tuck surgery addresses excess abdominal skin and tissue. Abdominal wall laxity can also be considered when clinically relevant.
Arm lift surgery addresses excess skin and soft tissue in the upper arm. Additional body contouring procedures can be considered after significant weight loss.
Overall body proportions are considered rather than focusing on one isolated area.
Post-Weight-Loss Body Contouring
Significant weight loss can leave excess skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs and other areas. Post-weight-loss body contouring addresses these changes through selected surgical procedures.
Tummy tuck can address excess abdominal skin. Arm lift and thigh lift can be considered for excess tissue in the arms and thighs.
When several regions are affected, different procedures can be planned separately or, in selected cases, as part of a broader surgical strategy.
Stable weight and general health are important considerations before surgery. The patient's expectations and desired body contours are also discussed.
Genital Aesthetics and Labiaplasty
Genital aesthetics addresses concerns involving the appearance or structure of the external female genital area. Labiaplasty and vaginoplasty are among the procedures within this field.
Labiaplasty reshapes the inner or outer labia. Some women seek treatment for aesthetic reasons, while others experience physical discomfort during exercise, clothing or daily activities.
Vaginoplasty involves surgical reshaping of vaginal tissues. The procedure is evaluated according to anatomy, symptoms and treatment expectations.
A detailed examination is important before genital surgery. Not every patient requires the same surgical technique.
Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments
Non-surgical aesthetics includes facial mesotherapy, Botox, dermal fillers and hair mesotherapy.
Botox can reduce the appearance of expression-related lines. Common treatment areas include the forehead, glabella, crow's feet and masseter muscles.
Fillers can support volume and contour in the cheeks, lips, chin and nasolabial area. Under-eye filler can also be considered for selected patients.
Hair mesotherapy involves injection-based treatments directed toward the scalp. The content and treatment schedule depend on the patient's condition.
Previous injections and aesthetic procedures should be discussed before treatment so that the new plan can be developed appropriately.
