Liposuction
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.

Is there a risk in liposuction?
Liposuction is an extremely safe operation and there are no serious risks and complications. There are only risks such as nerve damage, infection, bleeding, skin ulcerations that may occur in every surgical procedure. However, the probability of these occurring is almost negligible.
Will I feel pain after liposuction?
Local anesthetics and infiltration are applied before the liposuction operation. In this way, the possibility of feeling pain is very low compared to other surgeries. Even if you feel a slight pain after the operation, this pain can be controlled immediately with the help of daily painkillers.
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.
How long will I recover after liposuction?
Liposuction surgery is not an operation that affects your daily life too much. After 1 day of rest in the hospital, you need to wear the corset given to you. You will need to use this corset regularly for about a month. Since you will use the corset regularly for a month, we can call your recovery process a month. After this process, you can easily continue your normal life. Since very small incisions will be applied in the liposuction operation, you will not feel any pain. These incisions heal completely or are seen in the size of a faint spot, so there will be no scars on your body after the operation.
