M.D. Nuri Soysal

As a 72-year-old retired teacher, I was deeply self-conscious about the severe drooping of my eyelids that was impairing my vision and making me look perpetually tired. Dr. Soysal approached my blepharoplasty not as a simple cosmetic procedure, but as functional reconstructive surgery. He spent an hour with me and my daughter explaining the nuances of operating on mature, thinner skin. His technique was remarkably gentle; the recovery was far easier than I feared. Now, I can read without straining and feel a renewed confidence I haven't had in 15 years. His respect for elderly patients is profound.

Our 8-year-old son was born with a prominent congenital nevus (birthmark) on his cheek that was beginning to attract bullying at school. We consulted Dr. Soysal for its removal. He didn't just see a surgical case; he saw a child. He used drawings to explain the process to our son, promised him a 'special superhero bandage,' and employed a tissue expansion technique to minimize scarring. The follow-up visits were filled with patience and kindness. The scar is now barely visible, and more importantly, our son's joyful personality has fully re-emerged. This was pediatric reconstructive surgery at its most compassionate.

I was referred to Dr. Soysal after a severe dog bite to my lower lip and chin left me with a complex, jagged laceration in the ER. This wasn't a planned aesthetic procedure; it was emergency reconstructive surgery. Dr. Soysal came in late at night and his focus was immediately on preserving function and minimizing future deformity. His suturing was meticulous, almost artistic. He told me, 'Our goal tonight is to make the future correction as simple as possible.' Months later, after a minor secondary revision he had planned for from day one, the scarring is minimal. He turned a traumatic event into a manageable journey.

I'm a 45-year-old professional who underwent a deep plane facelift with Dr. Soysal. What set him apart was the 'architectural' approach. During the consultation, he didn't just show me 'after' photos; he used 3D imaging to explain the underlying SMAS layer, how he would reposition it, and why this would yield a natural, long-lasting result. The surgery itself was precise, but the post-op protocol was equally impressive—specific lymphatic massage techniques, tailored scar management, and a 1-year follow-up plan. A year later, I don't look 'done'; I look like a refreshed version of myself. This is the pinnacle of planned, complex aesthetic surgery.
