The method of suctioning the excess fat under the skin with the help of vacuum or specially prepared injectors with special cannulas is called liposuction. Liposuction is a surgical procedure to regulate the unbalanced fat distribution in our body. The aim of this operation is not to lose weight, but to remove stubborn fats that cannot be responded to despite following all diets and exercises. Your body will also be shaped thanks to liposuction. The duration of the liposuction operation varies between 15-20 minutes and 1-2 hours, depending on the problem. Liposuction gives the most perfect result mostly in people with normal weight or slightly above normal weight, but in people who are disturbed by the bad appearance of regional fat. Due to hormonal and genetic reasons, fat is stored in different areas in men and women. It is seen around the abdomen, hips and thighs in women and around the abdomen in men. It is thought that these areas will shrink with weight loss through exercise and diet. However, there is no significant change in these areas with the help of exercise and diet. The only way to get rid of the fat in these areas is Liposuction surgery. Liposuction is applied not only for the abdomen, waist and hip area, but also for the fat around the neck, under the chin, breasts, arms, legs and knees.

How much fat can I remove with liposuction?

The amount of fat removal with liposuction is determined by the severity of the problem, the age and health status of the person. Sometimes even 300 to 500 grams of fat removed with liposuction gives effective results, while some people need to remove up to 12 liters. On average, the fat to be removed should be between 5 and 10 liters. 2-3 liters of fat can be removed from the abdomen, 4 liters from the hips and 3 liters from the waist. During the fat removal, this fluid lost to the person should be given intravenously.

Vaser liposuction

Vaser liposuction combines state-of-the-art technology and a successful surgical technique. The ultrasound technology incorporated in this treatment allows for the precise and targeted breakdown of the fat cells. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER is minimally invasive yet powerful enough to eliminate large areas of fat. Vaser can sculpt and shape multiple areas in a single procedure, including chin and neck, abs, hips or love handles, male and female breasts, arms, back, buttocks or thighs, knees, calves or ankles.

Liposuction Recovery

With advancements in technology and surgical techniques, liposuction has become safer and more efficient, making it a preferred choice for many in pursuit of their ideal body shape.

Post-liposuction recovery is a crucial period in ensuring optimal results and a comfortable healing experience. Generally, patients can expect mild to moderate pain, swelling, and bruising, which subsides gradually over a few weeks. Compression garments are typically worn to reduce swelling and facilitate proper contouring.

Most patients can resume light activities within a few days and return to work within one to two weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing progress. Strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks.

Proper postoperative care, including a balanced diet, ample hydration, and adherence to the surgeon’s guidelines, is essential for a smooth and successful recovery, paving the way for the emergence of a beautifully sculpted physique
