| Content | Cataract, also known as the disease of old age, is a type of eye disease that seriously affects the quality of life as well as eye health. Cataract manifests itself with signs such as double vision, blurred vision, and deterioration of night vision, causing a decrease in vision over time. This disease, which affects your living standards, needs to be treated. It can be said that medical treatment of cataract with drugs is not possible.
It is performed with a surgical operation as the only treatment of cataract disease. Today, this surgery is performed with laser and with very advanced technologies. The most important point here is that the patient who will have cataract surgery is recommended to have an ophthalmologist who is an expert in this field. This surgery, which is directly proportional to the cataract surgery experience of the ophthalmologist, can be performed and treated during the day. This should be done by the best doctors, in the best and sterile environment.
Is there a risk of cataract surgery?
Like any eye surgery, cataract surgery carries risks. However, the success rate of the surgery is very high despite the risks it carries. With today's technologies, cataract surgery methods have been developed and they are performed with micro incisions and without stitches. After cataract surgery performed by a specialist surgeon, the patient can quickly return to his daily life. As we have mentioned before, it is of great importance that cataract surgery is performed by specialist physicians. Therefore, you should be careful when choosing a hospital.
What should be considered after cataract surgery?
After cataract surgery, the patient should be fed with light foods.
Heavy loads should not be lifted for 1 week after the operation.
The person who had the surgery should not drive the day after the surgery.
As for taking a shower, it is possible to take a shower as long as the water does not touch the eyes.
After the operation, pressure should not be applied to the eye and should be protected from impacts.
On the first day after the operation, the eyes can be blurred and it is a normal phenomenon. Support can be obtained to walk in a healthy way. |

Breast Health Package for Women Under 40
Our Breast Health Center, which is a part of Yaşam Hospital Oncology Center, offers all the possibilities of technology to provide the best care to every woman.
Early Detection of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer that women can encounter in their lifetime (Early detection can save your life).
Self Examination
From the age of 20, all women should perform a breast self-exam once a month (about one week after the start of each menstrual period). If you feel an unusual lump or anything else, it’s important to contact your doctor right away.
What is Breast Ultrasound?
Ultrasound is an imaging method that uses high-frequency sound waves to take pictures of internal organs and tissues.
When Should Breast Ultrasound Be Done?
From the age of 25, annual routine ultrasound follow-ups should not be interrupted. Ultrasound can be applied safely as it does not contain radiation and has no side effects on the body.
What Are the Risks of Breast Ultrasound?
Breast ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, to produce images. Ultrasound technology has no known risks.
What Happens After Breast Ultrasound?
After your breast ultrasound, the radiologist interprets the images and reports the results to your doctor. This information will also be shared with you if any additional testing is needed or follow-up is recommended.
What are the Benefits of Breast Ultrasound?
Ultrasound scanning is non-invasive (no needles or injections).
Ultrasound imaging is extremely safe and uses no radiation.
An ultrasound scan gives a clear picture of soft tissues that don’t show up well on x-ray images.
Ultrasound provides real-time imaging. This makes it easy to guide minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopsies and fluid aspiration.
Ultrasound imaging helps detect lesions in women with dense breasts.
Ultrasound can help detect and classify a breast lesion that cannot be adequately interpreted by mammography alone.
Using ultrasound, doctors can determine that many areas are caused by normal tissue (such as fat lobules) or benign cysts. For most women age 40 and older, a mammogram will be used along with the ultrasound. For women under the age of 40, ultrasound alone is often sufficient to determine whether an area of concern needs a biopsy.
What Does the Breast Health Package Consist of?
Breast health package consists of General Surgery Examination and Breast USG.
Note from your doctor:
Breast ultrasound is a safe, painless imaging method for examining targeted areas of breast tissue. With breast ultrasound, we provide detailed images of breast tissue and can diagnose cysts or lumps if present. Diagnosing possible risks at an early stage provides a very important gain in the treatment process. |
What is laser tattoo removal?
Tattooing is a permanent procedure on the skin. Tattoo removal can be done with modern methods when, for any reason, the person does not want to see his tattoo on his body anymore.
Tattoo removal, permanent make-up and stain treatment can be performed with the Q-switch Nd:YAG laser. This process is a technology that destroys the color pigments used in tattoos by focusing. During this very delicate process, the laser sees and destroys the pigment and damages the tissue as little as possible. In laser tattoo removal, which is a long and laborious process, one hundred percent result may not always be achieved. For this, the decision to have a tattoo should be considered very well, and possible future regrets should be considered.
How is laser tattoo removal done?
Tattoo and skin analysis should be done before the procedure. Lasers designed for tattoo removal and spot treatment send the beam to the epidermis layer of the skin, absorb the compounds that give color to the dermis and subcutaneous tattoo, and destroy the chemical substance by breaking it down. The wavelength of the laser; is adjusted according to the size, density and color of the tattoo.
In laser shots, dye pigments are made without damaging the tissues.
While black dyes under the skin are better detected by the laser, more effective results are obtained, while the same is not true for light-colored dyes.
Different wave sizes are used in tattoos with multi-colored paints.
How many sessions does laser tattoo removal take?
There are some environmental and structural factors in tattoo removal. It is important in which part of the body the tattoo is located. More sessions are required to remove tattoos, especially on the tips of the feet and fingers. For tattoos on larger areas of the body, a more effective process is performed and removed. The duration of the erasing process varies due to the color of the tattoo, the amount and type of paint used in the tattoo. Tattoo removal sessions take place at intervals of approximately 1.5 – 2 months. The number of sessions varies according to the person and the nature of the tattoo.
Will there be any scars after laser tattoo removal?
After each tattoo removal session, the color of the tattoo will lighten by approximately 20%. In tattoos where multi-colored and phosphorescent colors are used, the erasing process may be longer.
Is laser tattoo removal painful?
After numbing the skin part with cream or local anesthesia, the procedure is performed by protecting the upper skin layer in that area with the help of a Q-Switch ND-YAG laser and cooler. After the procedure, there may be bleeding in the area and crusting on the skin that will last for about a few days after the procedure. After the application, antibiotic cream should be used to both repair the area and prevent the development of infection.
When should laser tattoo removal be done?
While tattoo removal is more comfortable in winter, it is not preferred in summer due to the risk of staining with the effect of the sun. The time of the procedure varies according to the size of the tattoo. Since the sun is out in the summer, problems such as permanent staining may occur after the procedure. The best time for this is the winter months. | If you are very close to your ideal nose and there is an uncomfortable appearance only at the tip or holes of the nose, a minor surgical intervention is sufficient with today's technology. With tip plasty, it is possible to experience a change in a short time and easily.
What is Tip plasty?
Tip plasty (nasal tip aesthetics) is the surgery performed to give the desired appearance of the cartilage in the front of the nose without touching the nasal bone, in patients who do not have any curvature or deformation in the nasal bone, but have curvature, width, coarseness, irregularity in the nasal anterior cartilage, or wideness in the nostrils.
How long does nose tip plastic surgery take?
The operation takes an average of 20-30 minutes.
Is rhinoplasty a painful operation?
With the drugs given to the nose during the operation, postoperative pain is not felt.
To whom can it be done?
Tip plasty can be performed to beautify the tip of the nose and to eliminate the existing problem in patients who do not have any problems on the back of the nose, the bone structures on the sides of the nose, the septum area in the middle of the nose, the nasal ridge is smooth, the nose is not flattened and wide, and only on the tip of the nose.
With this surgery:
- Thinning the tip of the nose
- Lifting the tip of the nose
- Changing the angle of the nose tip
- Bringing the tip of the nose forward
- Elimination of deformities in the nostrils
- Removal of excess nose wings
- Correction of nasal tip problems can be performed in patients who have had previous nose surgery.
Points to be considered after nasal tip aesthetics and the healing process
Nasal tip aesthetics is a slightly easier surgery with a shorter recovery period compared to other nose surgeries. The patient can return to his daily life in a very short time.
It is recommended to use nasal spray to clean and moisturize the nose after tip plasty. With the cold compress to be applied, the swelling starts to decrease rapidly within 2 days. After the 7th day, the person can easily continue his normal life. The numbness at the tip of the nose may continue for 1 or 2 months. Rapid recovery is achieved in the first 3 months, and full recovery is achieved within 6 to 12 months. | During pregnancy, due to sudden growth in the abdomen or as a result of weight gain or loss, sagging in the abdomen, cracks, etc. There are some undesirable changes. Abdominal stretching helps to reduce these complaints. In fact, the patients with the best results are those who have come because of their sagging after weight loss. Although it is not possible for all the cracks on the abdomen to disappear in tummy tuck surgeries, it is possible to reduce them even more. There is no doubt that it is appropriate to perform this type of surgery by Aesthetic and Plastic surgery specialists, in appropriate operating room conditions and when all conditions that protect the patient are met. |
