Dr. Arzu Aslan Reviews

As a 68-year-old retired sailor with decades of sun exposure, I developed a rare, aggressive Merkel cell carcinoma on my ear. Dr. Aslan didn't just perform Mohs surgery; she coordinated with a prosthetic specialist to create a custom silicone reconstruction that looks completely natural. Her approach treated the whole person, not just the cancer.

My 8-year-old daughter developed severe, treatment-resistant atopic dermatitis that left her unable to sleep or attend school. After six specialists failed, Dr. Aslan discovered an unusual fungal co-infection through specialized testing. Her tailored regimen of targeted antifungals and microbiome-balancing treatments cleared her skin in three weeks—a miracle after two years of suffering.

During a business trip to Istanbul, I (42M) experienced a sudden, severe drug reaction causing toxic epidermal necrolysis—my skin was literally sloughing off. Rushed to Acıbadem Bakırköy, Dr. Aslan managed my care in the burn unit, using advanced amniotic membrane grafts to save 85% of my skin. Her round-the-clock monitoring prevented fatal sepsis.

As a professional violinist, the chronic hyperhidrosis in my hands threatened my career. Dr. Aslan performed a precise endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy after mapping my sweat patterns with iodine-starch tests. The minimally invasive procedure restored my ability to perform without compromising fine motor control—she understood my livelihood depended on it.
