New techniques, new devices and new trends appear in aesthetic surgery every year, and not all of them deserve the attention they get.
In this column I take one current debate at a time and write down how I read it as a surgeon: what the published evidence shows, what I see in my own patients in Istanbul, and what I would tell someone who is considering the procedure or the technology in question.
These are opinion pieces, not advertisements. Where a popular method has real limitations I say so, including methods I use in my own practice.
If a topic here has been on your mind, the pieces below are written for you.

The viral red light posts cite real studies. What those studies actually measured, what a home panel can and cannot do, and where clinic lasers begin.
Almost every facelift looks great at three months. The real swelling timeline, and how to judge before and after photos honestly.
You cannot order another woman’s breasts. What the viral implant formula story teaches about how implant size is actually chosen.
