PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS
In recent years, developments in genetics allow genetic analysis to be carried out on embryos developed in vitro by in vitro fertilization  ethods and the placement of selected healthy embryos in the uterus of the mother before pregnancy occurs. This method is called pre- regnancy genetic diagnosis (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis-PGD).
​
One of the most important application areas of the PGT technique embryos that do not have a genetic disease but may not have a genetic disorder in their chromosomes.
These disorders are more common in women of advanced age (35 years and older). This situation may result in infertility as it both reduces the chance of attachment of the embryo (implantation) and may cause unwanted abortions. As a matter of fact, 40 out of every 100 pregnancies in women aged 39 and over have problems that occur due to a numerical chromosomal disorder
 
The aim of PGD is to increase implantation rates, reduce spontaneous abortions and increase healthy baby birth rates by selecting hromosomally normal embryos. Indeed, the miscarriage rate, which can reach up to 23 percent in normal pregnancy due to chromosomal disorders, may decrease to 9 percent after PGD.
 
Pre-pregnancy genetic diagnosis is performed by taking 1 or 2 cells from embryos developed as a result of fertilization of egg and sperm cells obtained from mother and father candidates in laboratory environment. Special methods called Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are used for genetic diagnosis. Diagnosis of numerical chromosomal disorders such as monosomy or trisomy (Down syndrome and other trisomies) and single gene diseases (such as hemophilia, Mediterranean anemia, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophies) in the baby to be born is possible with PGD. Thus, healthy babies are born by transferring disease-free, healthy embryos to the expectant mother.
 
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE PREGNANCY
 
  • In couples with a genetic or hereditary disease carrier,
  • In couples who have a child or children with a previous genetic disease,
  • For the purpose of HLA genotyping (tissue typing),
  • In the identification of diseases showing genetic predisposition (tendency)
  • Women in the advanced age group (37 years and over) who have been accepted for assisted reproductive techniques,
  • In couples with recurrent early pregnancy miscarriages,
  • In couples who could not achieve pregnancy with assisted reproductive techniques despite multiple applications or who lost their pregnancy due to miscarriage,
  • It is applied in cases of chromosomal disorders or genetic diseases associated with severe male infertility.
 
HOW IS THE PGT TEST DONE?
 
  • Whether the patient is suitable for PGD is evaluated by the reproductive health specialist, genetic counselor and the doctor of the related disease.
  • The couple is prepared for the IVF procedure.
  • The egg taken from the mother is fertilized in the laboratory with the sperm taken from the father.
  • 1-2 blastomere cells are removed from the obtained embryo by biopsy by embryologists
  • Cells obtained by biopsy are prepared and tested according to the method to be applied.
  • Embryos with genetic diseases or chromosomal disorders are selected and discarded and healthy embryos are transferred to the mothers womb.

In patients with low sperm viability, quantity, number and structural quality, microfluidic technology, also known as the "chip baby method", ensures that the best quality sperm cells are selected by competing with each other in a way similar to the natural environment in the uterus, and ICSI is defined in in vitro fertilization treatment. With the application, it is left into the egg cell by microinjection method.

In this method, sperm cells with the best structural form, genetics and physiology are selected without causing cell damage, since techniques such as centrifugation (settling), vortex (mixing with high vibration) or mixing with a pipette are not applied to the sperm cells, which can physically damage the sperm cells. In classical preparation methods, sperm cells are prepared in a shorter time without being subjected to manipulation by skipping processes such as washing, flotation, gradient (grading), centrifugation (precipitation at high speeds). Thus, the sperm cells with the best DNA quality and physiologically are selected by themselves, and the sperm cells that pass this pre-screening are again screened under the microscope and the sperm cells of excellent quality are used for microinjection.

The above-mentioned classical preparation methods cause sperm cells to undergo respiratory stress, known as oxidative stress, and it has been scientifically proven that this can also cause DNA damage in healthy sperm cells. Better quality embryos are tried to be obtained with sperm cells that have been proven to be of the best quality by scientific data, and thus embryos with the highest potential for implantation (attachment) and development are obtained. The average total mobility in suckling samples taken from male individuals with microchip technology increased by 1.7 times.
The sperm cells obtained by this method were found 3 times faster than the classical preparation methods, and the forward motile sperm cells increased 3.8 times.

IVF treatments are supported by a wide range of tests and analyzes to get a healthy result. With the help of these tests, problems that may occur before and after pregnancy are also detected and planning is carried out in this direction. NGS, a genetic analysis technology that allows comprehensive chromosome screening to be performed in embryos, is a test that gives extremely effective results as technological developments gain momentum. With NGS, embryos are scanned quickly and effectively, and genetic problems at the chromosome level are detected before pregnancy. The aim of this method is to select a healthy embryo by performing genetic analysis on embryos before the transfer process and to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. You can continue reading our article for the details of the NGS test.



What is Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (NGS)?


It is extremely important that the embryos obtained in IVF treatments are successfully transferred to the uterus. But in some cases, pregnancy may not be achieved. One of the most important reasons why a healthy pregnancy cannot be achieved despite embryo transfer in treatment has been identified as chromosome disorders that occur in embryos. In order to achieve a healthy and successful result in IVF treatments, it is necessary to analyze the embryos in detail and detect chromosomal abnormalities. Previously, the multidimensional and complex structure of chromosomes would have made multiple tests necessary. While this situation is quite time consuming and costly, the NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) test appears as a result of the developing technology today. The NGS method is a newly developed genetic analysis technology that allows comprehensive chromosome screening of embryos. The NGS method allows all embryos to be screened within a short period of time. With NGS, which offers a quick and detailed scan, chromosome-related problems are diagnosed before pregnancy. All 24 chromosomes are scanned with the NGS test.

Comprehensive chromosomal screening practices performed by the NGS method play an extremely important role in diagnosing disorders and have an effect on facilitating healthy outcomes in IVF treatments.


What are the Features of the NGS Technique?




Chromosomal abnormalities are determined by screening with the NGS method. Embryos containing more than two or more cell communities with different chromosomal structures are called “mosaic embryos”. Mosaic embryos are detected more easily with the NGS technique. After these chromosomal abnormalities detected by the NGS test are detected accurately and in detail, the process is advanced by including them in the treatment planning. Compared to the different PGD methods used to date and known, the NGS method provides a high-intensity scanning area, allowing you to detect even some genetic disorders, as well as numerical changes occurring in chromosomes.


What Genetic Defects Can Be Detected with NGS-Based PGS?



Embryos obtained in IVF treatment are evaluated according to various criteria in terms of the characteristics they have, and a healthy result is sought by ensuring the transfer of the embryo with the best developmental characteristics to the uterus. Examination of the developmental characteristics of the embryo under a microscope by classical methods does not give a clear information about the chromosomal state of the embryo. This information is only reached by performing a genetic screening with PGS. Even if the embryos have a good quality structure, they can contain various chromosomal problems, and this can also lead to problems such as early miscarriages, some structural disorders in the developing fetus, or the embryo does not hold on to the uterus. The main purpose of using the PGS method, which is an NGS-based method, is to increase the adhesion of the embryo to the uterus, which is found to have a chromosomally normal structure, to reduce the likelihood of miscarriage that may occur later, and as a result, to increase the likelihood of couples having healthy babies. The NGS-based PGS operation is performed by embryologists who have the necessary education and experience in this regard. The process takes a short time and does not cause any harm to the embryo. The PGS process begins by combining the egg taken from the expectant mother and the sperm taken from the expectant father outside the body. 5. Development of embryos from formed embryos. or 6. on the day when the blastocyst is at the stage, several cells are taken by biopsy without damaging the embryo. These received cells are sent to the genetic laboratory for a scan of 24 chromosomes, while the embryos are frozen. At this point, it is extremely important that the procedure is performed by a qualified embryologist so that the embryo does not get damaged. At the end of this examination, the embryo or embryos whose genetic structure has been determined to be healthy are transferred after completion of intrauterine preparation and pregnancy results that reach higher rates are obtained, especially.

To summarize briefly; NGS-based PGS is a genetic screening method and can be used to detect numerical and structural imbalances in chromosomes. However, single gene diseases, especially those with familial transmission, cannot be detected with the PGS method.


Who are the Groups of Patients Who Can Be Administered NGS?




The benefits of the NGS method, which is a new generation genetic analysis technology, also raises the question of which patient groups this technique can be applied to. Before answering this question, we can state that the intended point of the NGS method is to be able to detect numerical and structural changes in chromosomes. Therefore, we can address the question of which people have these changes more often for groups of patients who can be administered NGS. Groups of patients for whom NGS can be applied can be listed as follows;

· In cases of repeated miscarriage,

· in expectant mothers over the age of 38,

· In severe male infertility,

* In cases of infertility, the cause of which is unknown,

· It is applied in cycles of continuous self-recurring treatment failures.

The NGS method, which is a rapidly developing field, is actively used in many countries today due to its possibilities and facilitating and accelerating effects for the process.


What are the Advantages of Preimplantastone Genetic Screening with NGS?




NGS, a new genetic examination method used to screen for 24 chromosomes in embryos, provides the opportunity to examine and sequence the entire human genome both numerically and structurally in a short period of time, such as a single day. It offers us a revolutionary technology in this aspect. The improved NGS method can detect mosaic embryos better than other PGD methods. The main advantages of Preimplantastone Genetic Screening with NGS are that it allows you to quickly scan a large area of genes, both numerically and structurally. In addition to scanning gene fields numerically and structurally, the NGS method also has advantages such as obtaining a more accurate result with a low margin of error, achieving faster results, and having a lower cost. With this method, 24 chromosome screening can also be performed simultaneously with the study of single gene diseases and HLA typing.


Does NGS Damage the Embryo?




IVF treatments are an extremely exciting period for couples. During this period, in order to obtain a healthy result, various tests are applied to the embryos obtained to determine the success rate. In some cases, couples may have a high risk of genetically abnormal embryo development. Advanced maternal age is one of these conditions. Embryos that are not genetically normal are not suitable for transfer. In order to be able to determine the chromosomal status of embryos and to obtain a healthy result, process planning is carried out in the light of the NGS result. Another confusing situation for couples at this point is whether NGS causes any damage to the embryo during the application phase. Doctors who specialize in their field and NGS performed under appropriate conditions do not pose a danger risk to the embryo. At this point, managing and planning the process in accordance with the needs with a reliable specialist and institution will also be an extremely important step.


Does Pregnancy Always Occur With a Smoothly Detected Embryo?




After the tests and examinations, embryos that do not carry any genetic abnormalities are placed in the uterus. The probability of the occurrence of pregnancy after this procedure develops due to various factors. These factors;

· Women's age

· The amount of ovarian reserve of the woman

* Sperm quality

· Embryo quality

· Ensuring a proper intrauterine environment

· The presence of hydrosalpinx

· Conditions encountered during embryo transfer

it can be sorted as follows. All these factors are among the dec that affect the occurrence of pregnancy. From this point of view, it is impossible to say that pregnancy always occurs with an embryo that is detected without problems.

Studies have shown that age-related embryos are less likely to be chromosomally normal. For this reason, pregnancy rates are also decreasing due to the increasing age of women, especially in IVF trials that have not been applied to PGS. In women under the age of forty, NGS-based PGS normal embryos vary between 40 and 60 percent probability with the results of the analysis, the rate falls below twenty percent in people over the age of 40.

In women over the age of forty, a low pregnancy rate is achieved by transferring an embryo that has not been genetically screened with NGS, while this rate is increased by transferring an embryo that has been diagnosed with NGS and is chromosomally normal.


How Many Days Do NGS Results Come Out?



The embryos that have been biopsied are 5 or 6 until they reach the blastocyst stage. by following it up to the day, only embryos that have not been detected as abnormalities are transferred to the expectant mother's uterus (uterus). The NGS process applied to the embryos is completed within the same day. In this way, treatment planning is quickly directed.

What are the NGS Test Prices?

The information obtained from the results of the NGS test gives a comprehensive information for the IVF process. At this point, NGS, a new generation genetic screening test, has entered our lives as a result of high technology. It is a method that also has many advantages, especially if it provides a quick and wide information about the chromosomal state of the embryo. In addition to the advantages it provides, NGS is a method that also has an extremely low cost. This is a situation that also increases the availability of the test. As the Huma IVF family, we continue to be there for our couples during this exciting process. For all your questions about NGS, you can review our site and contact us for detailed information.

In this article, we have included details about the NGS method. It is important to detect embryos that do not have chromosomal abnormalities, as well as to successfully transfer the embryos obtained in IVF treatments to the uterus. Comprehensive chromosomal screening practices performed by the NGS method play an extremely effective role in detecting chromosomal disorders in embryos and increase the risk of a positive outcome of the process.

Cheek Implants (Malar Augmentation): Enhancing Facial Contours for a Youthful Look

Introduction

Cheek implants, also known as malar augmentation, are a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape and definition of the cheeks. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have flat or sunken cheeks due to aging, genetics, or weight loss. By adding volume to the midface, cheek implants create a more youthful and balanced appearance.

Why Consider Cheek Implants?

The structure of the face changes over time due to aging, loss of collagen, and fat redistribution. These changes can lead to a sunken or hollow look in the midface region. Some people naturally have less prominent cheekbones, making their facial features appear less defined. Cheek implants offer a long-lasting solution to enhance facial contours and restore lost volume.

Types of Cheek Implants

There are different types of cheek implants, each designed to address specific concerns:

  • Malar Implants: Placed directly on the cheekbones to create more definition and prominence.

  • Submalar Implants: Positioned below the cheekbones to restore volume to the midface and improve a hollow appearance.

  • Combined Implants: A combination of both malar and submalar implants for a more comprehensive enhancement.

The Procedure

Cheek augmentation with implants is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The surgeon makes small incisions inside the mouth (intraoral approach) or along the lower eyelid (transcutaneous approach) to insert the implants. The implants, made from biocompatible materials such as silicone or porous polyethylene, are carefully positioned and secured to achieve the desired shape.

The procedure generally takes about one to two hours, depending on the complexity. Once the implants are placed, the incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following the procedure, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first few days. Most individuals can return to work within a week, but full recovery may take several weeks. Postoperative care includes:

  • Keeping the head elevated to minimize swelling

  • Avoiding strenuous activities for at least two weeks

  • Following the surgeon’s dietary and hygiene instructions if the incision was made inside the mouth

  • Attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Benefits of Cheek Implants

  • Long-Lasting Results: Unlike dermal fillers, which require regular maintenance, cheek implants provide a permanent solution.

  • Natural-Looking Enhancement: Well-placed implants can create a naturally contoured face.

  • Customizable Options: Various sizes and shapes are available to meet individual aesthetic goals.

  • Minimally Visible Scars: With incisions made inside the mouth or discreetly along the lower eyelid, scarring is minimal.

Potential Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, cheek augmentation carries some risks, including:

  • Infection

  • Implant displacement

  • Nerve damage leading to temporary numbness

  • Asymmetry

  • Prolonged swelling

Choosing an experienced and board-certified surgeon significantly reduces these risks and ensures optimal results.

Alternatives to Cheek Implants

For those who want to enhance their cheeks without surgery, non-invasive alternatives include:

  • Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite-based fillers can add volume temporarily.

  • Fat Grafting: A natural alternative using the patient’s own fat harvested from another area of the body.

  • Thread Lifts: A minimally invasive procedure that lifts and contours the cheeks with dissolvable threads.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

The best candidates for cheek implants are individuals who:

  • Desire permanent cheek enhancement

  • Have a weak or flat midface structure

  • Are in good overall health

  • Have realistic expectations about the results

Conclusion

Cheek implants are a highly effective way to achieve a defined and youthful facial structure. Whether to restore lost volume or enhance natural contours, malar augmentation provides a permanent solution for a well-proportioned and aesthetically pleasing look. Consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to determine the best approach for achieving your aesthetic goals.

Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty): Everything You Need to Know

Chin augmentation, also known as genioplasty, is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure designed to improve the appearance and functionality of the chin. Whether you're looking to enhance facial harmony, correct a recessed chin, or achieve a more defined jawline, genioplasty can be a transformative solution.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the various aspects of chin augmentation, including its types, benefits, risks, recovery process, and more.

What is Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty)?

Genioplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the chin either by moving the bone or by inserting an implant. It is often performed for aesthetic reasons but can also help address medical conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea and jaw misalignment.

Types of Chin Augmentation

There are two primary types of genioplasty:

  1. Sliding Genioplasty: This is a surgical procedure that involves cutting the chin bone and repositioning it forward, backward, or sideways. This method is ideal for individuals with severe chin deficiencies or structural abnormalities.

  2. Chin Implants: A synthetic implant, typically made of silicone or other biocompatible materials, is placed over the existing bone to enhance the chin’s projection and shape. This method is preferred for those looking for a less invasive option with a quicker recovery period.

Benefits of Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation offers several aesthetic and functional benefits, including:

  • Improved Facial Balance: A well-defined chin enhances facial proportions and symmetry, particularly in relation to the nose and jawline.

  • Enhanced Jawline Definition: A stronger chin creates a more sculpted and youthful jawline.

  • Boosted Self-Confidence: Patients often experience increased self-esteem due to improved facial harmony.

  • Correction of Receding Chin: Individuals with a weak or underdeveloped chin can achieve a more pronounced and balanced appearance.

  • Potential Improvement in Sleep Apnea: Sliding genioplasty can help reposition the chin, which may alleviate symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in some cases.

The Surgical Procedure

Pre-Procedure Consultation

Before undergoing genioplasty, patients must have a consultation with a qualified plastic or maxillofacial surgeon. The doctor will evaluate facial structure, discuss goals, and recommend the most suitable procedure.

The Surgery

The procedure typically takes between 1-2 hours and can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The technique used depends on the chosen augmentation method:

  • Sliding Genioplasty: The surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth, cuts the chin bone, and repositions it. The bone is then secured with plates and screws.

  • Chin Implant Surgery: The surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth or under the chin and places the implant over the bone.

Recovery and Aftercare

Immediate Post-Surgery Period

  • Swelling and bruising are common and may last for a few weeks.

  • A liquid or soft food diet is recommended initially to avoid discomfort.

  • Pain medication and antibiotics may be prescribed to manage discomfort and prevent infections.

Long-Term Recovery

  • Most patients return to work within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.

  • Final results become visible once swelling subsides, typically within 3-6 months.

  • Proper oral hygiene is crucial if the incision is inside the mouth.

Risks and Considerations

While chin augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include:

  • Infection

  • Nerve damage leading to temporary or permanent numbness

  • Implant displacement or rejection

  • Asymmetry requiring revision surgery

  • Scarring (more common in external incisions)

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For those hesitant about surgery, non-surgical chin augmentation using dermal fillers can provide temporary enhancement. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers add volume and definition, but results last only 12-18 months and require maintenance treatments.

Is Chin Augmentation Right for You?

Ideal candidates for chin augmentation include:

  • Individuals with a weak or recessed chin

  • Those seeking improved facial symmetry

  • Patients in good overall health with realistic expectations

Conclusion

Chin augmentation (genioplasty) is a powerful procedure that enhances facial harmony, improves self-confidence, and corrects structural issues. Whether through a sliding genioplasty or chin implants, this procedure can provide long-lasting and transformative results. Consulting with a skilled surgeon is essential to determine the best approach for your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.

If you’re considering chin augmentation, take the first step by scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic or maxillofacial surgeon to explore your options and achieve your desired look.
