Lymphostasis Treatment in Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery
About the clinic
Patients seeking treatment for lymphostasis can find advanced supermicrosurgery options at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır in Ankara, Turkey. The center is led by Prof. Dr. Nasır, a reconstructive specialist with over 15 years of experience who performed Turkey's second face transplant. He is a member of the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery and holds a 95%+ success rate for microvascular free flaps.
Advanced surgical options for lymphostasis
The clinic focuses on reconstructive microsurgery to restore lymph flow and reduce swelling in the limbs. These procedures help relieve the feeling of heaviness and lower the risk of skin infections like cellulitis. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır uses specialized tools to work on vessels as small as 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm.
- Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA). This supermicrosurgery connects blocked lymph channels directly to nearby veins. It uses small incisions and often happens under local anesthesia to bypass blockages.
- Lymph node transfer. The surgeon transplants healthy lymph nodes from the groin or neck to the swollen arm or leg. These nodes act like a pump to absorb excess fluid.
- Lymphatic microsurgery. This method involves reconstructing damaged lymph vessels or connecting them to healthy ones to improve drainage.
Expertise of Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır is a professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery with a doctorate in hand surgery. He completed research at the Cleveland Clinic, focusing on composite tissue transplantation. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır is known for his skill in supermicrosurgery, which allows for precise repairs of the lymphatic system. His expertise helps patients achieve a visible reduction in limb circumference and improved mobility.

Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery: more details about the clinic
Surgical Expertise and Statistics
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır attained Professor status in 2019. He received Associate Professor status in 2011. His career includes research on composite tissue transplantation at the Cleveland Clinic. This experience shapes his work in face and limb reconstruction.
The practice reports high success rates for microvascular free tissue transfers. These complex procedures maintain a success rate of 95% or higher. Dr. Nasır also performed notable face transplant work in Turkey. This background supports both aesthetic and functional patient goals.
Plastic and Reconstructive Specialties
The clinic provides a variety of aesthetic and restorative surgeries:
- Rhinoplasty – addresses both aesthetic shape and functional breathing.
- Facial Rejuvenation – includes facelifts, blepharoplasty, and chin aesthetics.
- Body Contouring – offers lipoabdominoplasty, combining tummy tucks with liposuction.
- Gynecomastia Surgery – uses VASER or laser-assisted liposuction for male breast enlargement.
Specialists use the Simon Classification to stage gynecomastia. This helps determine whether surgical excision or liposuction is needed. Tummy tuck options are personalized based on patient needs. These range from mini-abdominoplasty to extended techniques.
Reconstructive and Hand Surgery
Reconstructive care focuses on tissue loss from trauma, burns, and tumors. The clinic uses a "reconstructive elevator" approach. This method matches surgical options to specific patient needs. Surgeons perform microvascular free tissue transfers for complex defects.
Hand surgery addresses conditions involving nerves, tendons, and bones. Surgeons treat acute fractures and nerve lacerations. They also perform toe-to-hand finger transfers to restore movement and sensation.
Gender-affirming pathways are available for transfeminine and transmasculine patients:
- Phalloplasty – uses the gold-standard Radial Forearm Free Flap (RFFF) technique.
- Metoidioplasty – creates functional structures using natural anatomical tissues.
- Facial Feminization (FFS) – involves planning across multiple facial regions.
- Chest Masculinization – includes mastectomy and chest contouring.
Specialists emphasize medical safety during these transitions. Patients must pause hormone therapy before surgery to reduce blood clot risks. Nurses monitor tissue color and temperature every hour after flap transfers.
Technology and Diagnostic Capabilities
The clinic uses several diagnostic tools to plan surgeries. Electromyography (EMG) measures nerve conduction velocity for hand injuries. MRI and CT scans help map tissue structures. For gynecomastia, breast ultrasound or mammograms confirm tissue health.
Treatment technologies include modern energy-based systems. Surgeons use VASER, laser-assisted, and power-assisted liposuction. They also apply radiofrequency tools and ultrasonic-wave devices. These technologies liquefy fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Complex wounds are managed with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (VAC). This system reduces edema and increases blood flow to support healing. All microsurgery is performed under operating microscopes.
International Patient Services
The clinic treats international patients with a health-tourism-oriented approach. Staff provide medical guidance in English and German. This means clear communication throughout long rehabilitation periods. Postoperative care includes detailed dressing and medication instructions.
Rehabilitation accounts for 50% of total treatment success. The clinic coordinates with therapists for customized splints and physiotherapy. Early mobilization is encouraged to prevent joint stiffness. Surgeons also provide sensory re-education programs for nerve repair patients.
