Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess fat from the body using a cannula, a thin tube, and a vacuum-assisted technique. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia or sedation, and the surgeon makes small incisions in the treatment area to insert the cannula. The cannula is then used to break up and remove the excess fat cells, which are then suctioned out of the body using a vacuum device. The procedure can be used to target specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck, and can be used to treat conditions such as excess fat, cellulite, and sagging skin. Liposuction is often combined waith other procedures, such as tummy tucks or facelifts, to achieve comprehensive body contouring results.

How Liposuction Turkey is performed in Turkey?

Liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia or sedation, and the procedure can take around 1-3 hours to complete. The surgeon makes small incisions in the treatment area, and a cannula (a thin tube) is inserted to remove excess fat. The fat is then suctioned out using a vacuum-assisted technique. The procedure can be performed on multiple areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck.

What are the types of Liposuction in Turkey?

1Traditional Liposuction:
Traditional liposuction, also known as suction-assisted lipectomy, is the most common type of liposuction. It involves making small incisions in the skin and inserting a cannula, a thin tube, through which a vacuum device is used to break up and remove excess fat cells. The cannula is moved back and forth through the fat layer to loosen and remove the fat, which is then suctioned out of the body. This technique is effective for removing larger amounts of fat and can be used to treat a wide range of areas, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck.
2Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser-assisted liposuction uses a laser to help break up and liquefy the fat before it is removed. The laser energy is transmitted through a small probe that is inserted through a small incision in the skin, and is used to heat up the fat and cause it to melt. The cannula is then used to remove the liquefied fat from the body. This technique is often used in combination with traditional liposuction to improve the results and reduce the risk of complications. Laser-assisted liposuction is particularly effective for treating areas with smaller amounts of fat, such as the chin, neck, and cheeks.
3Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction:
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses high-frequency sound waves to break up the fat cells before they are removed. A special probe that emits ultrasonic energy is inserted through a small incision in the skin, and is used to target the fat cells and break them down into smaller particles. The cannula is then used to remove the broken-down fat from the body. This technique is often used for treating areas with harder-to-reach fat, such as the upper arms or back, and can be less painful than traditional liposuction.

Is it safe to have Liposuction  in Turkey?

Liposuction is generally considered a safe surgical procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the complication rate for liposuction is low, and most patients can expect to experience minimal downtime and rapid recovery. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are some potential risks and complications that can occur, such as fluid accumulation, infection, numbness or tingling, asymmetry, scarring, skin irregularities, and allergic reactions. To minimize these risks, it's essential to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a proven track record of success and follows strict safety protocols. By doing so, patients can enjoy the benefits of liposuction while minimizing the risk of complications and achieving their desired results.

What are the risks or side effects of Liposuction in Turkey?

As with any surgical procedure, Liposuction carries some risks and side effects. Here are some of the potential complications and side effects to be aware of:

  • Swelling and bruising
  • Pain and discomfort
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Asymmetry
  • Soreness
  • Infection

In rare cases, more serious complications can occur, such as nerve damage or blood clots.

What to expect after Liposuction in Turkey?

After the procedure, you can expect to experience mild discomfort, along with bruising, redness, and swelling. To alleviate these symptoms, your surgeon may prescribe medications to help manage discomfort, and recommend wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and promote healing. Typically, swelling begins to subside by the end of the first week, and it's essential to continue wearing the compression garment until week four or as otherwise directed. While some degree of swelling may persist for up to six weeks, most patients can expect to feel comfortable enough to return to work within just a few days of the procedure.

How long does it take to recover from Liposuction in Turkey?

After liposuction surgery, you may experience some swelling and discomfort for the first three days in the treatment area, which is normal. For the first three days, rest as much as possible, limit movement to walking around your home, avoid stairs and don’t lift anything. You will also be recommended pain medications to manage the discomfort.

1First Two Weeks
To aid in healing and minimize swelling, wear compression garments as your surgeon advises. Avoid any strenuous activities that might strain your recovery. You can start walking around the house to improve circulation, which will help with healing. Depending on the type of your procedure and your physical health, you can consider planning your return to work.
2Week Three and Four
By this point, you will notice a considerable reduction in pain, with many patients finding it minimal or absent. Although some swelling may still persist, you will also see a significant decrease in swelling. You can gradually reintroduce physical activities after getting clearance from your board-certified plastic surgeon.
3Week Five to Three Months
As your body continues to heal and adapt, you can resume all your usual activities, including more strenuous exercise. It’s essential to continue following your surgeon’s guidance regarding the intensity and duration of these exercises to ensure a smooth and safe recovery.

What is the ideal age for Liposuction in Turkey?

While the ideal age for liposuction is a topic of debate, it's generally agreed that younger patients tend to fare better due to their more elastic skin. This means that their skin is able to adapt more easily to the removal of excess fat, resulting in a more satisfactory outcome.
However, age is just one factor that influences the success of liposuction. Skin elasticity plays a crucial role, and mature patients may not have enough of it to achieve the desired results. Ultimately, every patient's situation is unique, and a plastic surgeon will assess individual circumstances during the initial consultation to determine whether liposuction is the best course of action.
