I had breast reduction surgery with Aycan Kayıkçıoğlu a few years ago. I chose her because she's a professor and I trusted her. I explained my expectations for the surgery. I explained that I wanted my breasts to be as small as possible due to neck and back pain. She said, "We can do it as you wish." Throughout the entire procedure, she didn't mention anything about my weight. At the time, I weighed around 65-70 kg. A few days after the surgery, when I went for my first dressing appointment, I saw my breasts for the first time. They were still large, and the right side seemed to have been pulled down. Furthermore, even though the incisions extended down to my armpit, the breast and fatty tissue that extended into my armpit remained. She assured me that these would resolve over time. When I told her I wasn't happy with the results, she said, "You're obsessing over me, and the surgery will improve once I lose weight." Her most embarrassing and hilarious behavior was when she grabbed the slightly overweight area on my back and told me you already have weight. He managed to establish a connection between the wrong procedure he performed on my breasts and my back.
To avoid further exposure to his tragicomic tone, I didn't even go back for a follow-up after the second dressing. He didn't even call. Since the corrective surgery had to wait a while, I had to wait, and during that time, I lost 120 pounds. But of course, since the incorrect procedure on my breasts wasn't related to my weight, nothing changed. During this time, I saw several doctors about revision surgery, and they all said there were some problems with the surgery.
So, I made an appointment to see him today. I went to ask if he would take responsibility for this mistake and offer a solution. But he remained the same as I left him. So, he displayed the same tragicomic attitude, saying there was no problem with the surgery and that it was better than the previous one. So, he means you should settle for the lesser evil and sit down...
He checked again and said the stitches were messy and didn't hold. He's aware enough of the situation to say this, and then he says there's no problem with the procedure. He clearly sees that his surgery was a failure, but instead of admitting it, he says you can take legal action or see a psychologist. Mr. Aycan has found the easy way out.
If anyone objects to his botched surgeries, he either takes them to court or, saying they're obsessed, sends them to a psychologist. Oh, and by the way, when I went there today, he displayed the same ridiculous attitude, this time grabbing the slightly overweight areas around my waist and telling them to look at their weight.)
This time, he managed to associate the weight around my waist with my breasts.)
His third escape route, other than court and sending them to a psychologist, is to resort to the excuse that you're already overweight.)
I would have expected him to admit his mistake and fix it.
But expecting that from such a doctor is a futile endeavor, and after meeting with him, I realized clearly. Judging by the comments from other patients complaining, it's clear I'm not the only one this doctor has victimized and treated in such a tragicomic manner.
Now, because of this botched surgery, I'll have to undergo another operation, undergo another anesthetic, experience the same pain again, and have to pay for another surgery. Does Mr. Aycan care about any of this?
Of course not.
The reason I'm sharing this is so that anyone considering this surgery might think twice before undergoing it, and avoid the same unpleasant experience I had.
Because if your surgery is unsuccessful, you'll unfortunately find a doctor who will never admit it and will blame you with ridiculous excuses.
Finally, Mr. Aycan, my advice to you:
You should seek professional support in handling patient objections, managing these processes, and admitting to your flawed surgeries.
Because you lack the necessary competence and expertise in this area.
