Procedures

What We Offer

Specialized in facial rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, breast surgery, and body contouring — with an emphasis on natural, balanced results.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Nose reshaping through internal incisions only — no external scars. Dr. Erdal's preferred technique for primary rhinoplasty, allowing precise refinement of the bridge, tip, and overall nasal balance while preserving the skin envelope.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Correction of aesthetic and functional issues from a previous nose surgery. More complex due to scar tissue and altered anatomy. Dr. Erdal's 30+ publications and academic expertise bring specialized skill to each revision.

Facelift

Comprehensive rejuvenation of the face and neck addressing sagging, jowls, nasolabial folds, and neck bands. Targets the deeper SMAS layer for long-lasting, natural results that preserve facial character.

Breast Augmentation

Enhancement of breast volume and shape using silicone implants tailored to your anatomy. Round or anatomical options, above or below the muscle, with incision sites chosen to minimize visible scarring.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Reshaping and lifting sagging breasts to restore a youthful appearance. The nipple-areola is repositioned and excess skin removed. Can be combined with implants for added volume.

Breast Reduction

Removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin for a more proportional size. Alleviates back pain and shoulder grooving while improving body contour and confidence.

Liposuction

Targeted removal of stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Applicable to abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and chin. A body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method.

Tummy Tuck

Removal of excess abdominal skin and fat, combined with repair of separated muscles (diastasis recti). Results in a flatter, firmer midsection. Ideal after weight loss or pregnancy.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Autologous fat transfer to the buttocks. Fat is harvested via liposuction, purified, and carefully injected in multiple layers for natural, proportional volume enhancement.

Blepharoplasty

Upper and/or lower eyelid surgery to correct drooping lids, remove excess skin, and address under-eye bags. Creates a refreshed, youthful appearance. Scars hidden in natural creases.

Lip Lift

Shortening the nose-to-lip distance for a fuller, more youthful lip appearance. A permanent alternative to fillers for patients with an elongated philtrum.

Chin Liposuction

Targeted fat removal from the submental area to eliminate double chin and define the jawline. Quick procedure with minimal downtime.

Gynecomastia

Surgical treatment of male breast enlargement. Creates a masculine, flat chest contour through tissue excision and/or liposuction.
