Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes these areas. Other names for liposuction include lipoplasty and body contouring.

Liposuction in Turkey is one of the most preferred type of cosmetic surgery.

Who are the Best Fits for Liposuction?

You might be a candidate for liposuction if you have too much body fat in specific spots but otherwise have a stable body weight. Candidates supposed to provide the following conditions:

-Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone

-Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing

-Non-smokers

-Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouring

Liposuction Procedure Steps

Step 1 - Anesthesia

Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, and general anesthesia. Our doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

Step 2 – The incision

Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions.

First, diluted local anesthesia is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through the incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula.

Step 3 – See the results

Your improved body contour will be apparent once the swelling and fluid retention commonly experienced following liposuction subside. Following your physician's instructions is key to the success of your surgery. It's important that the surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, swelling, abrasion, or motion during the time of healing. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for yourself.
