The surgical procedure performed to eliminate stubborn fat pockets in the body is called liposuction. Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, liposculpture or lipo, is applied for shaping problem areas, not for weight loss. Liposuction is a good alternative for patients who cannot get results in the fight against stubborn fat areas despite lifestyle changes.

  • Overview of Liposuction Operation

    Patients who cannot get results from different methods and positive lifestyle changes, have a stable weight, have a general health condition, and have regional excess problems are a good option for liposuction. Liposuction ensures that the desired area of fat removal becomes firm and elastic, so it is important to approach the operation with reasonable indications. Liposuction is not a sensible method to lose weight and fat gain is usually limited to 3 kilos. Taking too much fat from the application can cause the skin to look saggy. Liposuction is generally not applied to people with a BMI greater than 30.

  • How is Liposuction Performed?

    Liposuction operation usually takes 1-2 hours on average. It can be performed under general or local anesthesia depending on the patient's condition. The incisions applied in liposuction surgery usually do not exceed one centimeter and are applied by the surgeon in such a way that they can be hidden by the natural folds of the skin. The larger the area requiring liposuction, the more incisions need to be made. Generally, after the liposuction procedure, patients can return to their homes on the same day. It is recommended to wear a special compression garment for the period recommended by the specialist after the operation. These special garments help reduce swelling and speed up the recovery process after liposuction.

  • What are the Risks and Complications of Liposuction?

    These are:

    • Complications about Anesthesia

    • Allergic reaction to other surgical materials such as tape or latex gloves

    • Bleeding

    • Infection

    • Temporary bruising, swelling, temporary bruising

    • Temporary fluid balance problems

    • Damage to underlying structures deeper than the fat layer

  • What is the Process After Liposuction?

    It is recommended that patients have a companion on the first day after liposuction. Patients should take time to rest, but not lie down all day and take light walks in between. After having liposuction, patients should receive individual advice from the specialist physician regarding rest, special clothing and time to return to work. In general, patients can return to work after 7 to 10 days. Patients may continue to gain weight after liposuction, so it is important for patients to maintain a healthy diet and a stable weight. Patients are able to perform all kinds of physical activities within 4-6 weeks after liposuction surgery.

I would like to leave a review for…ceyhun
I would like to leave a review for ceyhun, this man has went above and beyond throughout my journey he’s been there no matter what time I messaged he would get straight back to me. He made me very comfortable and relaxed when I was nervous he was really good at reassuring me I would be ok which was a big factor as I was so nervous. After my surgery he’s kept in contact to see how I was and if I had any questions 5* for this man very helpful and polite and he’s sent over my discharge letters also in English which I needed very quickly.
