- A THANK YOU LETTER FROM A TITAN PATIENT

 [ 04.08.2008 ]

Dear Dr Ozsoy,

I really had benefit after the Titan treatment that you applied on my neck. Although you had told me that the difference would be visible after 3 months, I can allready see the difference. I had tried fillers, botox and radiofrequency but they weren’t as helpful as this treatment. I‘d like to thank you once again.

- Good News from my Patient from United States:

 [ 14.03.2008 ]

Dear Sef,

I would like to thank you for the exquisite care and attention you gave me before, during and after my liposuction surgery. I was especially impressed with your caution, your conservative approach and your unwillingness to take needless risks. Also my appreciation extends to your aesthetic sense . Be assured that my hips are as even as when I departed Turkey two weeks ago. I am quite pleased that I chose cosmetic surgery in Turkey rather than in the USA.

Despite the fact that I spoke no Turkish, everyone in hospital made an extraordinary effort to understand me and meet my needs. The hospital was very clean, the staff accommodating and cordial.
Additionally I would like you to know that there is a noticable difference in the smoothness of my face after having Cutera laser treatment, augmented by some filler and Botox. I am quite pleased with how I look! Thank you. There is nothing that makes me more secure in elective surgery than a knowledgable, well trained precise surgeon. My compliments!

Cordially...
 


 

- Laser Meeting in Barcelona

 [ 24.02.2008 ]

A beautiful meeting was held in Barcelona by the American Laser Company ‘CUTERA’. The meeting was open to the users of the laser devices that I also owned welcomed over 80 plastic surgeons and dermatologists from all around Europe, Asia, and Africa. All the attendees shared their own experiences and exchanged their knowledge about the products. I was very happy to meet and discuss with physicians all around the world with this interactive conference. We also took steps to organize this conference in our country next year. This meeting not only improved my knowledge but also let me know that the new Cutera Xeo Device that I recently owned is being used by many physicians with better results compared with other versions of lasers that they had before.


 

- First Aesthetic Surgery for my patient from United States:

 [ 14.02.2008 ]

After many surgeries that I performed on my patients from Germany, Canada, Belgium and Azerbaijan, I have operated on my first patient from the United States. I think the main reasons behind the foreign patients’ choices on Turkish Doctors are: world wide reputation of the good Turkish Plastic Surgeons using the latest technology, their reliability, their wide recognized contributions to medical literature and lower cost for medical expenditures despite the quality of patient care.

I was very happy to see my patient well healed 10 days after a long aesthetic operation and returning to her home country without any complications.


 

- Some comments on the Internet

Write a comment about Asc. Prof. Dr Zafer ÖZSOY! Write an e-mail& Advise to a friend:

SS (Patient initials) - 10.29.2007
I recently had a rhinoplasty operation. My surgery was much better than I had expected. Despite the stories that are said after the surgery, I had a wonderful time. I didnt have any bleeding or pain. I was back to my daily life right after the surgery with no nasal obstruction. I am pleased with the appereance of my nose now and I wonder why I havent done this before. I belive that choosing the right doctor is very important for this. When you start searching, you come across a lot of different options and you might be confused. Depending on my personal experience, the experince of your doctor is very important. Dr Ozsoy has a 30 years of experience and is a very good surgeon. Ive met him with the help of a firend. During the course of my treatment he was very close and he patiently answered all the questiones that I had. Dr Ozsoy is very neat and caring. I am pleased to advise him for everyone.XXXX

E.Y. (Patient initials) 09.07.2007
Rhinoplasty was the surgery that I had wanted for many years and I met Dr Ozsoy via internet. I dont usually go to the doctor very frequently and being very sick and having
surgery were the things that were far away from me. Dr Ozsoy did such a great job that my whole anxiety went away. The postoperative period was painfree and I didnt have severe edema. I had a very little difficulty and even the voice of my doctor helped me to get away from them. Dr Ozsoy can be reached easily. He has empathy for his patients and he pays attention to details. For rhinoplasty he is very focused on a natural looking nose with a good smelling and breathing function. Nowadays Id wanna write the name of my doctor and runaway since Im so happy about him. My expectations were met perfectly and I hope his future patients fell the same way that I feel.

Dear Dr Ozsoy

We are writing to request your assistance with a review of the manuscript of
our Adis Drug Evaluation on Botox®: A Review of its Therapeutic Efficacy and
Safety in the Treatment of Glabellar (frown) Lines, that has been written by
Adis editorial staff and which is to be published in our International
Review Journal, the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology.  The
manuscript is expected to be ready for despatch (by e-mailed PDF "read only"
file attachment) to our selected panel of international referees towards the
end of this week.

In order for us to meet a pre-determined Editorial programme, we will be
requesting that reviewers return their comments to us by e-mail or fax
within 2 weeks of the date of release of the manuscript.

We are specifically seeking comments on the scientific accuracy and
completeness of the review.  While it is not necessary for you to review all
the sections of the manuscript (unless this is your preference), we would
appreciate comments on those sections covering your particular area(s) of
interest and/or speciality.

As we have a long-standing policy of working with independent authors and
reviewers (with occasional exceptions where expertise and familiarity
dictate otherwise), we would appreciate it if you could declare any formal
association with the pharmaceutical industry, should you accept our
invitation to review the manuscript.

We would be most grateful if you could advise us whether you will be able to
assist with a review of the manuscript on Botox within the above approximate
timeframe.  Alternatively, if any of your colleagues (with similar expertise
to yours) are able and willing to assist us with this particular project,
then please let us have their contact details.

We do hope that this advance notice will assist in the facilitating of this
project into what we recognise will already be a committed programme on your
part.  We would be most grateful to have your valued input, as we believe
your contribution could be significant in this instance.

With best wishes.

Yours sincerely
Adis International Limited
