Liposuction | Fat Removal Surgery | Antalya

Liposuction (pronounced liposakşın in Turkish) is a body contouring surgery. Naturally, you will lose some volume with the removed fat. However, if you do not watch your diet, fat accumulation can occur again. It can be performed alone for body contouring or in combination with other surgeries. Fat removal surgery can be performed not only around the abdomen but also in areas like the arms, thighs, and chin. In a safe fat removal surgery, fat should not be removed beyond the set limit, even if the patient insists.

Why is Liposuction Performed?

• To get rid of localized fat deposits.
• For fat accumulations in areas without sagging.
• To create a better body contour. For example, chin liposuction to highlight the jawline, waist liposuction to create a waist curve, or 360-degree liposuction to highlight the hip curve.
• In cases of fat accumulation with sagging, lifting surgeries can be performed together. For example, tummy tuck, arm lift, or thigh lift.

How is Liposuction Performed?

The surgery is often performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the size of the area to be treated and the patient’s pain threshold, it can also be done under local anesthesia. The surgery starts with the injection of a solution into the targeted area. This solution facilitates fat removal, maintains your body’s metabolic balance, reduces post-operative pain, and minimizes bleeding. Then, the fat is broken down using long rods. Subsequently, the fat is suctioned out at various angles and depths. The devices used for suctioning vary. Sometimes it is done manually, sometimes with a powerful motor, and sometimes with ultrasonic heat. Your doctor will decide the best method.

Pre- and Post-Surgery Care: Detailed consultations before liposuction surgery are important to understand your expectations and to plan the process correctly.

It is important not to smoke and to pay attention to your diet.

Follow-ups and Monitoring: Regular check-ups in the postoperative period are important to monitor the healing process and to detect any potential complications early. We will be with you throughout the entire postoperative process, and my team and I will answer all your questions.

Liposuction Results

It may take longer than expected to achieve post-surgery results. Therefore, it is very important to follow the postoperative recommendations. Non-compliance with the diet, excessive activity, and negligence in using a corset can negatively affect the results.
