The main purpose of this operation is to shape the body lines of the person by removing regional fat masses. Depending on the individual’s case, 10% of the body mass in average could be removed and the person could get 1-2 size thinner. If the person does not take care of his/her diet after the liposuction operations, weight gain could arise although it would be proportioned with the other regions of the body.

Liposuction Techniques

1 – Tumescent Technique:
During this technique, a compound liquid of different chemicals is injected into the treated area, and then this area is sterilized, then fat is extracted from it.

2 – Ultrasound Technique:
This technique is especially used when Liposuction is intended for solid areas of the body, and it is very effective to make the body more consistent. An ultrasound tube is placed, thus eliminating fat.

3 – Laser Liposuction:
During this technique, fat is dissolved by high density laser then suctioned. It is usually applied with Tumescent Technique. And it is preferable if the amount of fat to be suctioned is small or medium, and if it is applied beside Tumescent Technique it can get rid of a large amount of fat with a high success rate.

4 – Power-assisted Technique:
In this technique, a tube is placed under the skin in some areas, this tube will generate powerful vibrations that dissolve fat and eliminate it. This technique is preferred more than the other techniques because it is easier and pain-free with high success rate.

5 – Suction-assisted Technique:
With this technique fat is eliminated by a fine tube passed through a small incision in the skin, and then Liposuction is carried out by moving the tube slightly.

6 – Radio-waves Technique:
This is the most advanced technique, it dissolves fat by high radio waves.

 

After Liposuction

Depending on the amount of fat to be suctioned and the doctor’s opinion, the patient may need to stay at the hospital after the operation, or leave at the same day. After the first week patients will start to feel better. If the stitches are non-absorbent, they will be removed after the first week. Due to Liposuction, some symptoms may occur such as swelling and redness, and bleeding or infection might happen. It is possible to reduce these risks by some medications. These symptoms usually disappear after 6 weeks of the operation, and simple pain like itching will disappear in 3-4 days. If your surgeon used bandages, he will remove them after the second day of operation.

People who had Liposuction in Turkey can go back to their daily life in 4-5 days. After two weeks, they can exercise some light sports, and heavy sports can be exercised after three weeks but it needs the doctor’s agreement. The body will take its final shape after 6-9 months. Liposuction does not eliminate cellulite, but it carves the body. In addition, Liposuction does not improve physical health, because the main purpose of it is to improve the external appearance.
