LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction

A balanced fat distribution and proportional contour are among the fundamental aspects of an attractive human body.

Your body lines can be reformed and reshaped with liposuction. Many people suffer from persistent regional fat deposition that they cannot reduce or reshape despite being diet and regular exercise. Liposuction is a modern procedure that provides a solution for this persistent regional fat deposition problem that leads to a nonaesthetic appearance of general body line.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical intervention applied to reshape and regulate the unbalanced fat deposition in your body. Liposuction, which is especially an effective solution for regional fat deposition, is also utilized as an auxiliary element in many aesthetic surgery procedures. For example, liposuction is used in gynecomasty operations applied for augmented breast problem in men. In knock-knee correction operations, fatty tissue can be collected from another part of the patient and added to the problematic area in order to disguise the knock-knee. In short, liposuction is a very common procedure used to improve and render more effective the results of an aesthetic surgical procedure.

And if liposuction surgeries are used without any other procedure, they are performed mainly for persistent regional fat depositions that are resistant against diet and exercise. This region that causes fatty and bulging area can be removed by liposuction application and reshaped like a sculpture in order to restore a natural contour.

Today, there are many different types of liposuction used in aesthetic surgery. The purpose of all liposuction types is to dispose of the fat and provide contour correction for the patient or to support another aesthetic surgical intervention. They vary in terms of benefits and effectiveness.

In Turmescent Liposuction, an anesthetic solution is injected to the problematic area to dilate the region in order to minimize bleeding and post-operative discomfort.

In Ultrasound Liposuction, ultrasound energy is utilized to remove larger amounts of fat in an easier and faster way by loosening the fatty tissue.

How liposuction is performed?

Liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia when it is used solely and not as an auxiliary technique for another aesthetic surgery. General anesthesia may also be preferred. Your aesthetic surgeon will decide the mode of anesthesia and procedure areas are restricted by drawings with pen. One or more incisions are performed close to the treatment area. Thin canulas or very thin tubes are inserted through these incisions depending on the technique to be used. With the guidance of the surgeon, vibration of the device melts the subcutaneous fat tissues and enables them to be removed from the body. Duration of the procedure depends on the size of the area and the amount of fat subject to suction.

Post-liposuction

With today’s liposuction techniques, swelling, bruise and ripples on the skin are minimized. Most of the patients can continue their daily lives from where they left off a few days after the procedure depending on the extent of the procedure and physical intensity of their daily lives. Although pain depends on your pain threshold, many patients can get through their recovery periods without any pain medication.

If needed, your surgeon may recommend you to wear a corset after liposuction. This is a precautionary application aimed to prevent skin contraction and swelling. The scars of small incisions recover within a few weeks and they completely disappear after one year.

Liposuction application fields

The body parts that can be treated with liposuction application are different for men and women. The most common treatment areas for women are abdomen, breast, hips, outer thighs, front side of the thighs, inner thighs, knees, arms, gluteal region, cheeks and neck. Men comprise approximately 15-25% of liposuction patients and the most common treatment areas for men are chin, neck area, abdomen, shoulder blades and chest.

Weight gain after liposuction

Regional fat depositions are almost completely removed after liposuction. You will not cause formation of new fatty cells with a weight gain of 3-4 kilograms, however, it is likely that another region would deposit fat in case of an excess weight gain. Therefore, we recommend you to participate in a determined weight maintanance program in order to preserve your look.

If performed by an expert and skilled aesthetic surgeon, you can have significant benefits from a liposuction application and you don’t have to worry about safety. Liposuction, which is a perfect option to improve the body shape and create an aesthetic structure, is definitely not a weight loss method. It helps you to get rid of excessive regional fat tissues. And you should first refer to diet and exercise for this purpose and you consider having liposuction only if you cannot gain any positive result from diet and exercise.
