Liposuction

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction, also known as fat removal surgery, is a body contouring and fat reduction procedure in general. Liposuction aims to treat stubborn fat that cannot be reduced despite exercise and diet. This treatment is used to remove fat from specific areas of the body such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, hips, arms, hips and neck.

Liposuction, which is applied regardless of the purpose of losing weight, provides regional shaping by removing the excess in the body. To get rid of this disturbing effect, you can opt for liposuction and get an effective and definitive result.

How is Liposuction Performed?

After determining the areas, a liquid that dissolves the fat is inserted into the area through cannulas. Cannulas are tubes that are hollow and thin. The dissolved fat is removed from the body using a vacuum. The operation is performed by applying a vacuum and lasts between 1-3 hours depending on the condition of the areas.

The entrance (Cannula entry) holes of the cannula are usually not sutured or 1 suture can be placed. In patients with intense fat absorption, special thin tubes are used. These tubes reduce the formation of edema by allowing the fluid accumulated inside to drain. Liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's medical history.

The technique of liposuction is used in aesthetic and cosmetic surgery procedures such as the six pack (intervention in the abdominal muscles) and fat reduction -fat losst operations such as sleeve gastrectomy. It is important that each procedure is performed carefully. For example, in aesthetic operations such as tummy tuck, belly button positioning should be carefully planned and the incisions made correctly.

After liposuction, the patient wears compression garments. This protective medical clothing provides faster tightening and healing of the tissues due to the pressure applied. The patient should follow the surgeon's recommendations and instructions to achieve good long-term results.

The patient should take the medications the doctor prescribes and the vitamins and minerals. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics to avoid the possible risk of infection. In this case, it is important to finish the entire course of antibiotics.

After Liposuction;

• Depending on the type of procedure, you may be discharged from the hospital the same day or after 24 hours of monitoring.
• The postoperative process is generally easier.
• Pain can be easily relieved with medication.
• At the end of surgery, a special corset is worn to put pressure on the area where the fat was removed.
