Statement Regarding Reports About Clinicexpert
Recent news articles and reports contain a mix of partial truths and significant misinformation. Many of these stories have been published without proper research, often copied from other sources and embellished with inaccuracies. As such, we feel compelled to provide a clear and accurate explanation of the situation.
A Brief Overview of Plastic Surgery Practices in Turkey
In Turkey, there are two main types of plastic surgery services:
- Surgeries performed by staff plastic surgeons working within hospitals and clinics.
- Surgeries conducted by independent plastic surgeons who rent operating rooms from hospitals or clinics.
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, which unfortunately resulted in a patient’s passing, was not performed by one of Clinicexpert’s staff surgeons. Instead, it was carried out by an independent plastic surgeon who rented an operating room from our facility.
Responsibility
Given this context, Clinicexpert cannot be held responsible for this tragic incident.
For 14 years, Clinicexpert has provided operating room services to both its own doctors and hundreds of independent plastic surgeons. Is it fair to tarnish the reputation of an entire clinic and its team over a single, isolated incident?
Addressing Organ Theft Allegations
Another baseless claim made in these reports concerns alleged “organ theft,” with accusations that organs such as the brain, heart, and parts of the intestines were missing.
After the incident, as required by law, the patient’s body was sent to the official Turkish Forensic Medicine Institution to determine the cause of death. During routine autopsy procedures, tissue samples from certain organs were likely taken for analysis.
- Brain transplants are not medically possible anywhere in the world at present.
- Heart transplants require the entire organ; partial transplants are not viable.
Given these facts, organ theft allegations are scientifically and medically implausible and completely unfounded.
Final Remarks
The claims made in these reports are speculative, inaccurate, and often embellished for sensational purposes. We urge the public to consider the facts and approach this matter responsibly.
We trust that you will form your opinions based on the information provided here.
Sincerely,
Clinicexpert Team
