Stating that Turkey, which has become the best in medical aesthetics with its world-class doctors, has become the center of pleasantness in the world. Nedim Budakoğlu and Şebnem Demir said, “Guests from various countries of the world both go on a tourist tour and return to their country after having plastic surgery.” The coronavirus epidemic, which affects all segments, did not affect the medical aesthetics department much in Turkey. As of May, the phones were almost locked in the clinics where women were busy. Before the pandemic, tourists from all over the world both had aesthetic operations and toured Turkey with the types they bought in packages.
“During the pandemic period, yes, there was concern, but our phones became locked”
Stating that Turkey has a very valuable place in the health tourism market, Şebnem Demir, the owner of the Estesense clinic, said, “There is a lot of demand from European and Arab countries. is happening. Each of our hair transplant and plastic surgery physicians in our country is very successful. Tourists from abroad get cheaper service here because they pay in TL. We have taken all our measures during the coronavirus period. Yes, there was a problem during the pandemic period, but our phones are now locked. After May, we started to serve many of our patients,” he said.
Stating that competent people and strict controls are needed in order for Turkey to maintain its leading position in medical aesthetics, Şebnem Demir said, “It is necessary to undergo very important trainings to become a physician. For this reason, some under-the-counter processes are carried out in businesses that are seen as pleasantness centers, which negatively affects our branch both at home and abroad. These should be audited more and corporate businesses like us should be preferred. We get a nice share in the wellness department. As a matter of fact, the pie in health tourism is huge and we are racing against time. Turkey is now a base of pleasantries, a health paradise, a huge potential for health tourism. The truth that needs to be done is to make the names process. Many of those who come from abroad do not know who they will meet. Definitely, these processes should be done under the roof of the polyclinic.”
“There are people who come here from time to time with the photos of celebrities and consult us”
Demir, who recommends that consumers be conscious, said, “Beauty is something that is done for ourselves, we must love ourselves first. From time to time, there are people who come to us with the photos of celebrities and we do not recommend this. Everyone has their own body structure, everyone has their own taste. However, it is necessary to think about how true it is to come up with a photo and make my nose look like this. It is not nice not to always keep expectations at the highest level. Botox application has a respite in the middle of 4 to 6 months. It is not a permanent application. I’ve had Botox done, so let’s not expect that my lines won’t recur,” he said.
Pay attention to phone filters
Stating that photo filters in Photoshop and smart phones affect the perception of pleasantness, Demir said, “There is no one who does not use phone filters, especially us women, we use them a lot. After these filters, we started to admire ourselves. We started the competition with strange expectations like ‘make me look like this, this is actually me’ coming to our clinics with filtered photos. Is it as if technology and the coronavirus era are pulling us away from us? I think we need to go inside a little bit. Aesthetics is a perception of pleasantness that comes from within,” he concluded.
“The almond eye application was especially in demand during the pandemic period”
Making statements about medical aesthetics, Dr. Nedim Budakoğlu said, “Medical Aesthetics was the whole of non-surgical applications, but recently it has become a new lane. However, recently, there has been a new avenue besides surgery. Before that, processes that had to be done only with surgical intervention began to be moved to non-surgical environments. In other words, face lifts, face lifts, eyebrow and almond eye applications have started to be performed without the need for surgery in examination and clinical settings. In recent years, in the development of aesthetic medicine, a new avenue has emerged, even if there is no alternative to surgery. Medical aesthetics is a little easier for patients and is compatible with social life. In addition, it is a little more advantageous than surgery in smoothing processes, but it cannot be said that it is very easy. During the pandemic period, women’s face and eyebrow suspension procedures and almond eye applications were especially in demand. The deadlines for these processes are 15 minutes, and the healing time reaches a maximum of one week. These processes must be carried out by individuals who are experts in this field,” he said.
