Liposuction

Liposuction is a relatively comprehensive treatment for removing unwanted fat deposits from the body. The best-known form of liposuction is probably abdominal liposuction. But it is also possible to have facial liposuction, including, among other things, liposuction of the cheeks. Before any liposuction procedure, a plastic surgeon will always pre-examine you. At this stage, the surgeon will evaluate whether liposuction can provide the desired effect in your case.

Liposuction in Turkey is known for changing one's body shape. However, liposuction should never come before a natural weight loss process.

Who are the Ideal Candidates for Liposuction?

Ideal candidates for liposuction in Turkey are men and women who are bothered by excess fat deposits and aren’t overweight. It recommends that overweight people lose weight close to their average weight before having liposuction.

Fat distribution is different in men and women. It is also different at different ages and can, of course, be very different in individuals of the same age and sex. The tendency to have excess body fat is probably genetically determined. Thus, the individual will tend to accumulate fat in certain body parts.

Excess weight and hormones also play a significant role. If you are overweight, fat usually accumulates in the subcutaneous tissue. However, it may be difficult or impossible to lose fatty tissue from specific fat stores with subsequent weight loss.

Female sex hormones help promote the deposition of adipose tissue in physiological stores. This is why many women experience a change in fat distribution after pregnancy, where they find it very difficult to return to their previous body shape.

Even in men, hormonal influence plays a role, as the male sex hormone is partially broken down in adipose tissue to a by-product that has a similar effect to female sex hormones. This adds to the fact that previously overweight men may have developed persistent fat deposits.

If fat deposits remove by liposuction, the result will depend on the skin's ability to contract. Skin elasticity decreases with age; therefore, liposuction usually gives the best results when young. Conversely, this also means that liposuction has to become more gentle as we age. Thus, liposuction doesn’t cause changes in bumps or folds on the skin.

Where on Your Body can You Get Liposuction?

Men often develop unwanted fat deposits on the back of the hips, chest, and neck. On the other hand, women often develop unwanted fat deposits on the outer thighs, inner thighs, hips, knees, and neck. The difference between the sexes is due to the differences in the effect of hormones that affect the location of the fat.

Individual areas differ in fat type, firmness, and skin quality. This is of great importance for the results after liposuction.

Liposuction Procedure

Take a closer look at the liposuction procedure steps in Turkey:

  • Consultation and preparation

Before liposuction in Turkey, you will meet with our plastic surgeon, who will examine you thoroughly before the examination. You discuss your expectations for the operation and the result, just as the surgeon guides you through your liposuction options. You also talk about whether there are situations that can stand in the way of liposuction.

  • Anesthesia

Liposuction will do under anesthesia, so you will not have any pain or ache.

  • Process

On the day of surgery, our surgeon inserts a needle under the skin through a small incision in the area where your body will absorb the fat. The surgeon tries to make various injection sites in areas of the body where the scar will not be very noticeable. The fat is then sucked in using a tube connected to a suction machine.

Aspiration is generally used from different holes, in different directions, to remove fat cells from multiple layers of fat in the body and to make the result of the treatment as even as possible. Once your body has absorbed enough fat, the surgeon will, of course, re-suture the openings. The duration of the procedure depends on the amount of fat the specialist will take.

Recovery After Liposuction

In general, you can return home the same day after the procedure. However, more extensive liposuction will require you to be in the hospital and under observation until the next day:

  • When you get home, you will receive a comprehensive introduction to what you can and cannot do after the operation. Most people can resume work or leisure activities within a few days. But it is essential to be aware of bumps and bruises.
  • You should stay away from physically heavy work and sports for up to six weeks after the operation. In addition, the wounds around the wounds should be completely free of foreign substances for at least three weeks after the procedure.
  • The surgeon may also recommend an elastic compression bandage that you should wear for the first 2-6 weeks. After 7-10 days, a specialist will remove your stitches.
  • When you can return to work depends on both your job and what the process looks like after the operation. In any case, you will get good advice and guidance from the plastic surgeon. So you can be sure that you will get the best results while your body appropriately gives the peace of mind to heal.
  • You can see the liposuction results in Turkey only after six months when the last remaining swelling should have gone down.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost?

Liposuction cost in Turkey depends on which area will treat. However, liposuction prices in Turkey will also depend on the location, surgeon's experience, techniques, and type of anesthesia.

The procedure gives an effective result; therefore, you can also consider the price of the treatment as an investment. In addition, liposuction costs in Turkey are much cheaper than in many countries.

 

 

Why Should You Have Liposuction?

It is known that people who cannot get rid of stubborn locally-settled fat despite continuing to exercise, diet and eat healthy are the most suitable candidates for liposuction. Fat deposits in certain parts of your body can also be inherited. Liposuction can also be applied to eliminate these hereditary fat deposits.

People considering liposuction should ideally be over the age of 18. In this way, people can have more mature and realistic expectations for their goals. In addition, the possible results of the surgeries may be better in people over the age of 18. Age is not a factor that seriously affects the operation, but it is known that the advancement of age reduces the benefits of liposuction operation, albeit slightly.

 

 

 

Who is suitable for the operation?

Establishing expectations from the surgery. Whether the drugs, vitamins and herbal supplements being used will have any effect during the liposuction operation. Whether alcohol and tobacco use will have any effects Whether there is any effect if there is previous surgery

Before Deciding on the Operation:

It is very important that you have determined your goals for liposuction in consultation with your surgeon. Along with having knowledge about the procedure before liposuction, you should also be clear about the physical and psychological results you expect. You should be prepared to discuss your diet and exercise regimens, your overall health, and any inherited issues that may underlie the cause of the fatty areas you want to disappear. Today, there are many different liposuction techniques. Among these techniques, the most suitable technique for you will be selected by your surgeon according to the condition of the fatty area.

It is very important for the person to have information about the liposuction recommended by the surgeon and to talk with the surgeon about this issue. As in all aesthetic operations, it should be known that the application of liposuction will have some effects on the person. It is necessary to consider the effects of these effects on health both today and in the longer term. In addition to all these, the person should have knowledge about what he can do to maintain the new body shape he will have.

What to Perform by Your Surgeon:

Evaluation of your general health. Evaluate any health condition. Examination of regional fat masses and determination of the areas to be treated. Discussing the possible outcomes of the surgery. Evaluating possible complications that may occur with liposuction and informing the patient about these complications. Informing the patient about the type of anesthesia used and its effects

Pre-Operation Requirements:

Determining whether certain medications are needed. How can I best prepare for the operation? Will I need any treatment after the operation? What results can I expect after the operation? What side effects or complications can occur after liposuction? Will I have any discomfort after liposuction? What will the treated area look like in terms of swelling and swelling after the operation? Are there any activities or situations that I should avoid during the recovery process? When can I resume my normal exercise routine after the operation? What other aesthetic procedures can I consider in connection with liposuction? What instructions should I follow after the operation?

 

 

 

What to Expect After the Operation

Many patients can go home on the day of the operation, but depending on the size of the area where the operation is performed, some patients may need to stay in the hospital for 1 or 2 days. The hospital stay may be considered appropriate by the doctor in order to prevent the possibility of fluid accumulation under the skin in the treated area, infection or emergency complications such as excessive swelling and pain.

All dissolvable sutures are absorbed within 10 days. However, if the patient sees that these stitches are embedded or protruding into the skin, the patient should inform the doctor. Using a support, compression bandage or wearing supportive clothing for 6 weeks from the operation helps prevent swelling.

 

To prevent the risk of thrombosis (blood clot), it may be helpful to take light walks shortly after surgery. Although long-term care liposuction results are satisfactory, it will take some time for your body to adjust itself to its new structure in the first post-operative period.

 

 

How is the operation performed?

Liposuction is performed by inserting a narrow tube (cannula) through small incisions in the skin. The incisions are small (0.5 cm) and the smallest possible scars are present in the selected area. A vibration technique is used by the specialist performing the operation and the fat cells are broken down. Fat cells that are broken down by a vacuum pump are sucked in.

Liposuction operation takes 2 to 4 hours, but depending on the size of the treated area, the operation may take longer in some cases. In case of working in small areas, the operation can be performed under local anesthesia. In this case, the patient can be discharged on the same day. If the area is not small, it may be necessary to stay in the hospital for 1 or 2 days for the health personnel to monitor the effects of fluid loss. 

 

Recovery Process After the Operation

It is possible to say that the recovery process of liposuction surgery is fast. After the operation, most people can resume and resume normal, light routines within three days and even return to work within a week or less. However, within 2 to 4 weeks, people can start doing light exercises. However, it should not be forgotten that it is possible to see changes in the post-operative period in each individual. For this reason, some people may experience swelling and bruising for up to 2 months, while others may experience no discomfort.

Post-operative scars disappear over time. People should notify their doctor if they have any problems with wounds. It is recommended that you do not do any strenuous exercise for the first 2 months after the operation and that you continue your daily routine with only a light walk until the swelling completely disappears. Liposuction removes regional fat, not excess skin. For this reason, if any sagging occurs on the skin after liposuction, the person may need to undergo a different aesthetic operation such as a tummy tuck.

Does an Asymmetrical Appearance Occur After Liposuction?

No, if liposuction is performed by a specialist in a fully equipped hospital, it is not possible for any asymmetrical appearance to occur.

 

 

 

 

Can I Have Liposuction If I Have Asymmetrical Areas On My Body?

Liposuction cannot be performed to make the asymmetrical areas of the body symmetrical.

Are There Any Side Effects of Liposuction Operation?

As in every operation, it is possible to see some side effects in liposuction application. It is possible to see redness in the area after liposuction. But there is no need to worry about this situation, the situation will pass by itself.
