TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY
Editorial and Medical Review
Who prepares every health article on this site, who reviews it and how it is kept up to date.
A single sentence you read about aesthetic and plastic surgery can influence whether you decide to have an operation. That is why no health content on this site is published without a named preparer and a physician who confirms its medical accuracy. This page explains how that process works.
Why this page exists
Health information can affect the life of the person reading it. Search engines and AI-assisted search systems likewise look for the answers to “who wrote it, who approved it, when was it updated” in this kind of content. We do not hide those answers: the preparer, the reviewing physician and the date appear at the top of every article, and this page gathers the rules behind them in one place.
For the same reason the site carries no prices, before-and-after photographs, patient testimonials or promises of results. The rules governing the promotion of health services in Türkiye already prohibit these; we regard this not as a restriction but as part of being honest with the reader.

What the medical review looks at
The physician reads the editor’s draft before publication and requests corrections under the headings below. The corrected text is reviewed again; nothing enters the publication schedule before approval.
- Medical accuracyDo anatomy, method names, indications and contraindications match current knowledge?
- Risks and limitsAre the risks of each method and who it is not suitable for stated clearly?
- Time and recovery statementsAre figures such as operation time, swelling and return to work given as realistic ranges?
- Language and certaintyHave sentences implying guaranteed results or exaggeration been removed?
- Regulatory complianceAre prices, before-and-after images, testimonials and pushy calls to action absent?
- SourcesAre claims supported by peer-reviewed publications or professional guidelines, and are sources listed at the end?
Our sources and the rules we follow
Scientific sources
Peer-reviewed journals (e.g. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, JPRAS), systematic reviews and current textbooks. We rely on accumulated evidence rather than a single study.
Professional guidelines
The practice principles and patient-information standards of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (TPRECD), ISAPS, ASPS and EBOPRAS.
Regulation and ethics
The rules on promotion and information in health services, the Code of Medical Deontology and personal-data protection law. These rules bind the content team as well.
What the byline at the top of an article tells you
“Written by” is the editor who prepared the text and compiled the sources. “Medical review” is the physician who approved the text for accuracy before publication. “Last updated” is the date the text was last checked; not only the date but the content itself was reviewed that day. These three items are also marked up as structured data, so search engines can read the article’s authorship in machine-readable form.
Update and correction policy
An article is re-reviewed in four situations: when a professional guideline changes, when new and reliable evidence is published, when clinical practice changes, and when a reader reports an error. Beyond that, treatment pages and the most-read articles are re-read at regular intervals.
To report an error, send the article’s address and the sentence in question to info@sukruyazar.com. Corrections are not made silently: the text changes and the “last updated” date is refreshed. Information found to be wrong is taken offline until the correction is ready.

Frequently asked questions
Who writes the articles on this site?
Articles are prepared by the editorial team, starting from the real questions patients ask. The byline at the top of every article names the person who prepared it and the physician who carried out the medical review; no fictional author names are used.
What exactly does “medical review” mean?
It means the specialist physician reads the text line by line before publication, checks medical statements such as indications, risks, recovery times and terminology against current knowledge, and has them corrected where needed. A review confirms the accuracy of a text; it is not a personal diagnosis or treatment decision.
Are software tools used in preparing the content?
Digital writing and literature-search tools may be used at the research and drafting stage. They speed up the process but do not make decisions: every text is edited by the editorial team and is not published without the physician’s review.
What should I do if I find an error in an article?
Simply send the article’s address and the statement you believe is wrong to info@sukruyazar.com. The report reaches the editorial team and is assessed by the physician; when a correction is made, the article’s “last updated” date is refreshed.
Do these articles replace a consultation?
No. The articles provide general information; which method suits you can only be decided in a consultation. The site does not publish prices, before-and-after photographs or promises of results.
Are the English and German contents reviewed as well?
Yes. All articles and treatment pages on the Turkish, English and German sites go through the same process; the counter above shows the total of reviewed content in the three languages.
