Yes — our Medical Director is a board-certified plastic surgeon, which is not standard practice in every Istanbul clinic.
Case suitability, especially for mega sessions and revision work, is decided under the Medical Director's clinical judgement.
A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon is available to manage it, together with the anaesthesiologist who is present for the whole operation. That is one reason clinical responsibility sits with a plastic surgeon rather than with a coordinator.
