People of all ages face issues with excess weight. Poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to weight gain. Additionally, localized body fat can be a significant concern.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure specifically designed to remove localized fat deposits. While it may not be a permanent or definitive solution, it is known to be highly effective in reducing targeted fat areas.
Many people wonder what liposuction surgery is. First and foremost, it is important to note that liposuction is not a diet or weight-loss surgery. It is not performed to achieve overall weight loss. Instead, it is a procedure designed to shape the body by removing stubborn fat from areas such as the hips, neck, thighs, knees, chin, and abdomen.
Liposuction is particularly effective for getting rid of fat that cannot be eliminated through diet and exercise. As a cosmetic procedure, it helps individuals feel more confident and balanced by addressing fat distribution between the upper and lower body. This allows people to achieve a more proportionate body shape
Liposuction surgery allows the removal of localized fat deposits from the body. As a surgical procedure, it is effective in shaping the body but does not eliminate cellulite entirely or prevent skin from sagging due to pregnancy and childbirth. However, it can help achieve a smoother skin appearance.
Many people seek information about liposuction, especially those who experience frequent weight fluctuations and wonder if it can address loose skin. Liposuction alone is not effective for this issue. It works best when combined with tummy tuck and skin tightening procedures.
Liposuction is not a miracle solution. To prevent the recurrence of localized fat deposits, individuals must adopt healthier eating habits.
One of the most frequently asked questions is how liposuction is performed. The surgery typically lasts between 1-3 hours, with an average removal of 2.5 to 4.5 liters of fat per session. The surgeon marks the areas to be treated, and photos may be taken for reference. General or local anesthesia is administered. A fluid solution is injected into the treatment area to numb it and enhance the procedure’s effectiveness. Small incisions (1-2 mm) are made in the skin to insert cannulas, which are connected to a vacuum machine that suctions out the liquefied fat. The vacuum tube is moved to help break down the fat. The incisions are closed after a short period.
At Turkey Cares, we ensure that every liposuction procedure is tailored to meet the individual needs of our patients, providing them with the best possible results and comprehensive post-operative care.
The recovery period after liposuction is typically 4-6 weeks. However, patients do not need to worry excessively about this, as they can usually resume their daily activities the day after the surgery. Mild pain may be experienced in the areas where fat was removed, but this can be managed with painkillers. To avoid recurrence of the issue, patients should not revert to their old eating habits after recovering from liposuction.
Liposuction is suitable for anyone over the age of 18. It is ideal for non-smokers, those without significant health issues, individuals aiming for body contouring, those struggling with localized fat deposits, and those who have not achieved desired results through diet and exercise.
Vaser Liposuction: This method uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells. Powerful ultrasound waves are employed to disrupt the bonds between fat cells, allowing for more effective fat removal.
Laser Liposuction: Fat is removed using laser assistance, which minimizes bleeding.
J-Plasma Liposuction: This technology is used to tighten the skin that may become loose after liposuction, providing a more toned appearance.
At Turkey Cares, we utilize the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes for our liposuction patients, supporting them through every step of their journey.
Liposuction can generally reduce the body size by 1-2 sizes, depending on the individual’s body structure and the amount of fat removed. However, exact results can vary from person to person.
While the effects of liposuction are noticeable immediately, it usually takes a few weeks to see the full results. Swelling needs to subside and the body contours to become more defined over time.
The fat cells removed by liposuction are permanently gone, but new fat cells can develop if a healthy lifestyle is not maintained. To keep the results, a balanced diet and regular exercise are recommended.
Liposuction can be performed on various areas, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, legs, arms, and neck. The specific area is chosen based on the individual’s needs.
