{:en} How to choose a breast implant? There are several parameters to be evaluated while choosing an implant. In my practice, the most important parameter is the breast width. To obtain a natural result, the diameter of the selected implant should not exceed the width of the breast. The tissue thickness on both sides of the breasts should also be taken into consideration since they occupy a certain distance within the breast width as well. Skin quality of the breast, degree of ptosis, asymmetry, and chest wall deformities should be also noted. Nowadays, there are different tools to decide the size of an implant. Besides the measurements of certain...

{:en} You saw the headline and thought it was related to economics, didn't you? But actually, what's this article all about is healthy eating. For sure, the positive effect of healthy eating on long life is unquestionable. The researches show that we can be fully protected from lots of diseases by only eating right. Even if we're careful about consuming good food alone all the time, sometimes some life situations (psychological traumas, changes in hormones, or side effects of some medicines, etc.) can put us into overeating or "the hungries" as we may also call it. Especially, when we're feeling down, we continue eating despite a full...

{:en} Recovery in a psychiatric institution often focuses on physical stabilization, but what about the mind? In the midst of medication intake and daily hospital routines, small moments of connection create powerful shifts. Moments like this made me reflect on the importance of psychological well-being in a psychiatric institution. While the primary focus is understandably placed on physical stabilization, the emotional needs of patients are equally significant and can greatly enhance their recovery journey. Today, I want to explore how psychological support can complement the physical recovery process and why it deserves attention in this context. During my internship, I had the opportunity to observe what recovery looks...

{:en} There are lists: things to do before death, places to see, etc. Here is Montecatini, one of the places you must see before you die! “But where exactly is Montecatini?” I can hear you say. Montecatini is a hidden paradise in Tuscany, Italy! Let me warn you the article contains a high dose of peace.☺️ During my bus journey from Florence, which took about an hour, I greeted every shade of green and got off the bus in Montecatini Terme, the center of healing. The first thing that came to mind about this small but cute town was its thermal waters and spa center, but it was...

{:en} One of the most important causes of facial pain (myofascial pain) is jaw joint disorders. The disorder of the jaw joint (TMJ), which functions more than 1000 times a day, affects the chewing and facial muscles and can sometimes appear as facial pain, preventing the patient from opening the mouth, speaking, or chewing. Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) while sleeping during the day or at night can cause tension in the chewing muscles, cause pain in the mouth, and face area. In this case, the treatment protocol is splinting, local Botox injection, pharmacotherapy including painkillers/sedatives, and physical therapy. Massage therapy applied within the scope of physical...

{:en} the moment we are born and throughout our lives, every individual has a common desire: to achieve happiness. The goal is apparent in all times and societies. So, what are the ways to achieve this happiness? It would be easier if happiness had a mathematical formula, like everything else, wouldn’t it? However, I can say that there are shortcuts to achieving the goal of happiness. It is precisely our emotions that keep us from our happiness, that sometimes push us away and sometimes bring us closer to it. From the first moment of our existence, our subconscious is a system that brings everything together and records in...

{:en} Most of my writings are inspired by natural, colorful miracles of the earth. Thisbtime, my pen reaches you from Istanbul, where I came for holiday. I am on the shores of the Sea of Marmara, where the world's few historical structures dance with the deep blue waters of the Bosphorus that are sometimes turbulent and sometimes silent. While there is a high construction and a lively crowd around it, suddenly, the mischievous children of the Bosphorus, the dolphins, pass through the vast waters. People traveling on the famous ferries, which are considered among the symbols of the city, throw bagel crumbs to feed the seagulls enthusiastically...

{:en} Do you want to create your best version? When you write it this way, you get a more lively, emphatic, self-changing "you", right? The sum of the sentences we wish for every year as we enter a new year; A year full of health, happiness, peace, success, abundance, and love... Drowning in clichéd words is not just general wishes or “intentions”. Every year we get another year older, another year more mature. This helps us climb the stairs of life slowly. Rather than every year, we learn something every month, every week, every day, or every hour. Then why do you wait 365 days to make your New Year wishes?...
