Sevgi Yazar

Specialization and Approach

The doctor treats various conditions requiring delicate tissue manipulation. She performs fingertip reconstructions and treats complex hand injuries. Dr. Yazar uses the "North Star" procedure — a technique for the aesthetic removal of benign skin lesions. Her approach includes the adjustable conchal sliding technique for prominent ear correction.

She also corrects nasal deformities using key and keyhole cartilage models. The specialist performs calf restoration and lower lip reconstruction. Her methods help maintain both the function and appearance of the treated area.
