Revision (secondary) rhinoplasty — Face / Nose

“After a first rhinoplasty in Europe that went wrong, I was in despair. Professor Özcan was recommended to me for his experience. He is a man of great knowledge, very calm and honest. He rebuilt the structure of my nose masterfully. The result is perfect and harmonious, and I can finally breathe normally. He is the best in his field.”

SMAS facelift — Face / Neck

“I chose Prof Dr Özcan for a facelift because of his vast academic background. The operation at the Istanbul Aesthetic Center was a complete success. I look ten years younger without looking as though I have had work done. The scars hidden in the hairline are invisible. The Medikalista coordination team was tremendous.”

Abdominoplasty — Body contouring

“Prof Özcan saw me at his Nişantaşı practice and explained the procedure and the recovery to me in detail. His experience put me at ease and the team at the Istanbul Aesthetic Center was attentive.”
