What is liposuction?
- Liposuction is the surgical removal of the existing fat tissue in people who can not get rid of regional fat despite trying weight loss methods such as sports and diet.
- With the application of liposuction, the number of these fat cells in the abdomen, waist, hip, leg, back, arm or neck area is reduced.
What are Liposuction Methods?
Classical Liposuction
- With the help of cannula and vacuum device, a special liquid is given to the layer where the oil is located.
- Thanks to this liquid, the broken down fat cells are removed from the body with the help of a vacuum device.
- If necessary, fat taken from the body during the procedure can be injected into another body area with wrinkles.
Vaser Liposuction
- In the Vaser Liposuction method, ultrasonic sound waves are given to the fat cells.
- Fat cells are broken down by these waves.
- As a result of the disintegration process, the liquefied fat is removed from the body.
- During Vaser Liposuction, the target tissue is only fat cells.
- Therefore, it doesn’t damage the surrounding muscle, nerve, vascular tissues or stem cells.
- At the same time, fat taken from the body in vaser liposuction can be transferred to other body parts.
Who can liposuction be applied to?
- People who don’t have a systemic health problem, who have completed the weight loss process, but who have deformities caused by lubrication in their body.
- For those who want to thin regionally
- For people who want to make their body lines more prominent.
Who can not undergo liposuction?
- People who have lost their skin elasticity due to age.
- Pregnant women or women who have just given birth (up to 1 year)
- Persons at risk of vascular occlusion
- People with weak immune system
- Coronary artery patients
- Diabetes patients
- Postpartum women with sagging abdominal wall
- People who can not control their weight gain
What are the risks of liposuction?
- Bruising on the skin
- Fat embolism
- Edema
- Numbness
- Infection
- Fluctuation or staining on the skin when applied to people who have lost their skin elasticity
What are the conditions to be considered after liposuction?
- Since dissolving sutures are preferred in liposuction, there is no need to remove the sutures.
- The bruises that occur after the procedure go away after about 3 weeks.
- After liposuction, the treated area should be massaged as recommended by the doctor.
- A corset must be used after the intervention.
- The corset should be used as recommended by the doctor and for at least 4-8 weeks.
- Recommended exercises should be performed 3-4 weeks after the intervention.
- Sexual life should be interrupted for at least 4 weeks.
- Alcohol use should be suspended in the first month. (It is important in weight control.)
- Smoking is not recommended as it negatively affects wound healing.
- Care should be taken not to gain weight, as weight gain negatively affects the liposuction process.
- Full recovery after liposuction takes 6-12 months.
