M.D. Umut Özbebit

As a 72-year-old farmer from Kayseri's outskirts, I was deeply ashamed of the severe burn contractures on my neck and chest from a childhood accident. For decades, I hid beneath scarves. Dr. Özbebit didn't just see a reconstruction case; he saw my lifelong embarrassment. His team performed a meticulous series of Z-plasty and skin grafting procedures. What moved me most was his post-op care—he personally adjusted my compression garments weekly, explaining each step in simple Turkish. Now, I can look my grandchildren in the eye without turning away. This wasn't just surgery; it was the restoration of my dignity.

Our 8-year-old son, Ali, was born with a significant congenital ear deformity (microtia). We'd consulted several surgeons who suggested waiting until adolescence. Dr. Özbebit proposed a groundbreaking, two-stage autologous rib cartilage reconstruction tailored for children, arguing early intervention would benefit psychological development. The precision was astonishing—he sculpted a new ear framework that looks and feels natural. His follow-up involved playful 'ear check-ups' where Ali got to choose a sticker, turning anxiety into excitement. Seeing our son's confidence bloom when he got his first haircut showing both ears was priceless. Dr. Özbebit heals more than tissue; he heals young spirits.

I'm a 34-year-old teacher who suffered a complex facial dog bite attack. Rushed to Acibadem's ER on a Saturday night with torn lips and cheek, I feared permanent disfigurement. Dr. Özbebit was called in urgently. Instead of simple closure, he performed immediate delicate nerve repair and layered reconstructive surgery, emphasizing future aesthetic outcomes. His emergency technique focused on minimizing scar lines along natural facial contours. During late-night wound checks, he sketched diagrams to show how swelling would subside. Six months later, the scars are nearly invisible. He turned a traumatic emergency into a masterclass in urgent aesthetic reconstruction.

Following a massive weight loss of 55kg, I was left with debilitating back pain and skin infections from excessive abdominal apron. My routine consultation for body contouring turned into a comprehensive functional restoration plan. Dr. Özbebit proposed a radical fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty combined with medial thigh lift—addressing both medical and aesthetic concerns in one orchestrated surgery. His detailed pre-op 3D imaging session was unlike any consultation; he showed me exactly how my posture would improve. The recovery was tough, but his team's 24/7 WhatsApp support for drain management was revolutionary. Now, I'm not just reshaped; I'm pain-free and can finally exercise properly. He views the body as an integrated system, not just separate parts to be trimmed.
