Surgical treatment of valgus deformity in Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery
About the clinic
Surgical treatment for valgus deformity, often called bow leg correction, is available at Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır's clinic in Ankara, Turkey. This procedure uses osteotomy techniques to realign the leg axis and improve both function and appearance. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır leads the treatment with over 20 years of experience in complex reconstructive surgery.
Advanced Reconstructive Expertise
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır is a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery with over 20 years of practice. He is known for performing the second face transplant in Turkey. The professor studied at the Cleveland Clinic in the United States to refine his surgical skills. He holds active memberships in the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery and the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.
The Osteotomy Procedure
The clinic primarily uses osteotomy to correct genu valgum. During this surgery, the doctor makes precise cuts in the bone to realign the leg. A plate-and-screw fixation system holds the bone in its new, correct position. This method helps balance the load across the knee joint. For patients with very mild contour issues, the doctor may suggest fat grafting as an alternative to improve the leg's shape.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
The healing process typically lasts between 6 and 12 weeks. Patients start early assisted walking to help the recovery move along. The clinic provides a rehabilitation plan that includes physical therapy and splinting. This structured support helps patients regain full function and strength in their legs. Before surgery, every patient undergoes a full clinical evaluation including X-rays or MRI scans.
International Patient Care
The clinic in Ankara provides personalized treatment plans for every individual. Support is available for international patients to help with their stay and medical needs. The team assists with planning the visit and provides information in English. This focus on individual care helps patients feel comfortable during their reconstructive journey.

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.
