Liposuction Surgery

Liposuction is a popular plastic surgery procedure to remove excess fat from the body to achieve a smoother and firmer body contour.

This method specifically targets stubborn fat deposits that cannot be lost through diet and exercise. During the procedure, a thin tube (cannula) is inserted under the skin and the fat cells are vacuumed out. Liposuction is usually applied in areas such as the waist, abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, under the chin and arms.

Why Should You Have Liposuction?

There are many reasons to undergo liposuction and this procedure offers an effective solution for body contouring and contour correction. Firstly, liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits that cannot be removed by diet and exercise. This makes it particularly ideal for problem areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs and arms.

Liposuction results in a smoother, firmer and more proportionate body silhouette, which increases self-confidence and provides a more youthful appearance.

As liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure, it usually requires a short recovery period and offers long-lasting results. Liposuction is an ideal option not only for weight loss, but also for those who want to shape their body contours and achieve a more aesthetic appearance.

Who is Suitable for Liposuction Operation?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure suitable for individuals who meet certain criteria. This procedure does not aim to reduce overall body weight; instead, it targets stubborn fat deposits in specific areas of the body.

It is also important that liposuction candidates are in good general health and do not have any chronic diseases or health problems. Liposuction is generally suitable for individuals aged 18 and over.

Before the operation, a detailed health assessment and a comprehensive doctor's consultation about the surgical process should be performed. This evaluation will help determine whether the person is suitable for liposuction. In summary, liposuction is an ideal option for individuals who are healthy, have a stable body weight and want to get rid of fat deposits in specific areas.

How is Liposuction Surgery Performed?

Liposuction surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During the liposuction procedure, one or more small incisions are made. These incisions are usually made in the hidden parts of the area to be treated so that the scars are as little visible as possible. A cannula (a thin tube) is then inserted into one of these incisions and the fatty tissue is pulled out with the help of a vacuum.

There are various liposuction techniques, the most common of which are tumescent, ultrasonic and laser-assisted liposuction. Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a solution first so that the fat can be more easily removed. Ultrasonic and laser-assisted liposuction methods use ultrasound waves or laser energy to liquefy fat.

The duration of the procedure varies depending on the amount of fat to be removed and the number of areas to be treated. After liposuction, the area is supported with bandages and a corset, which helps speed healing and reduce swelling.

Postoperative Recovery Process

The recovery process after liposuction surgery varies according to the general health status of the patient, the extent of the procedure and the liposuction technique applied. Generally, patients are recommended to rest for a few days after liposuction. Temporary bruising, swelling and mild pain may occur in the areas where the procedure was performed. These symptoms usually subside within a few weeks. Patients are advised to wear a corset to speed up the healing process and help the skin adapt to the new contours. These garments are usually worn for 3-6 weeks.

Patients should avoid heavy physical activity for the first few days after surgery. However, light walking can help speed up recovery. The full recovery process usually takes several months and regular medical check-ups are important during this time. After liposuction, it can take several months to see the final results because the body requires time to adapt to its new shape.

A balanced diet and regular exercise program help maintain the results achieved after liposuction. Liposuction removes permanent fat cells, but if a healthy lifestyle is not maintained, the remaining fat cells can grow. Therefore, it is important for patients to maintain healthy habits for long-term results.
