Liposuction (Fat Removal)
Life Time Aesthetic Surgery
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets and shapes excess fat deposits in the body. It offers an effective solution against regional fat deposits that cannot be eliminated with tough diet and exercise.
Liposuction is a surgical method applied to remove excess fat tissue in the body and to give the body a better shape. This does not necessarily require obesity. There are also fat deposits that do not have obesity problems but cannot be removed by regional weight loss methods. Liposuction is also referred to as liposuction. It is usually characterized as fat removal. It is an aesthetic operation that has been practiced for many years and is in high demand. This application is mainly performed to remove hard-to-remove fat deposits such as abdomen, hips, buttocks, hips and waist. Liposuction is applied by vacuuming the fat tissues, which are fluidized by special methods, through 1-2 mm incisions using thin cannulas.
How is Liposuction Performed?
The purpose of liposuction is to remove excess fat tissue from the body. This procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia or sedation. This type of application is performed for the patient’s pain control and comfort. First, liquid is injected into the area to be treated. The injection liquefies the fat socket so that the fat cells can be easily removed. The fat cells are then sucked out with the help of a device with a thin cannula. Liposuction is preferred to minimize unwanted fat or for aesthetic purposes. After the procedure, the doctor’s recommendations must be followed. This is critical for the healing process. Liposuction is a surgical procedure. Therefore, it must be performed by specialized and experienced doctors.
Which Areas is Liposuction Applied to?
Differences in male and female body structures cause diversity in fat accumulation areas. While women usually focus on resistant fat accumulation areas such as hips, belly and buttocks, men often aim to get rid of fat accumulated on the back, abdomen, chest and sides of the waist. Technological advances in the field of medicine and aesthetics allow these applications to be performed for more areas. The under arm area, which women call the “salt shaker”, is one of the areas where liposuction is successfully applied.
In addition, under the chin, which is one of the areas most prone to fat accumulation with weight gain, is one of the areas of resistant adiposity that is very difficult to remove with diet and sports. Thanks to liposuction, an aesthetic intervention can be performed without leaving any scars under the chin. In addition, the laser lipolysis technique, a type of liposuction, is used not only for fat accumulation but also to provide a solution to the problem of underarm sweating. This method offers people a more comfortable life by reducing excessive sweating in the armpit area.
In Which Situations Is Liposuction Needed?
Liposuction is the process of surgically removing regional fats in the body. However, in special cases such as pregnancy or frequent weight gain and loss, this procedure cannot be expected to provide a permanent result. For example, sagging skin or cellulite after pregnancy are among the aesthetic problems that cannot be eliminated by liposuction.
Nevertheless, even if liposuction does not completely eliminate cellulite, a smoother skin appearance can be achieved by removing fat tissue close to the skin.
Skin sagging caused by continuous weight gain and loss is one of the problems that cannot be corrected with liposuction. In such cases, additional surgical procedures such as tummy tuck or sagging skin removal operations may be required. In order to maintain the aesthetic appearance obtained after liposuction, it is important to gain a regular eating habit and make exercise a part of daily life. With the diversification of liposuction methods, the application areas have also expanded.
Techniques have been developed for different purposes such as body shaping, skin tightening and removal of sebaceous glands. Especially sound waves and laser-assisted liposuction applications offer effective results in sensitive areas where both fat removal and skin smoothing are required. Areas such as wrists, ankles, ankles, inner knees and neck are examples of such applications.
Who Can Liposuction Be Performed?
Expert opinion is required in every surgical operation. In the same way, you should consult a specialist doctor in liposuction. You should not see this operation as a slimming method. You should only think of it as a method that helps regional thinning and body contours to become more smooth. If you have a general weight problem other than regional fat, you first need to get rid of these kilos with sports and diet.
You can then choose this method for fats that do not decrease with diet.
If you do not have a systemic health problem, pregnancy or new birth, you can apply for liposuction. For those with problems such as diabetes, heart disease, etc., risk factors should be determined by performing tests. This is important in order to take the necessary precautions against situations that may pose a danger. Your age is not an obstacle to liposuction. However, it is not applied to some elderly patients due to loss of skin elasticity.
What is the Recovery Period After Liposuction?
After the liposuction procedure, specially produced corsets should be used. These corsets are used for 1 month to 2 months depending on the characteristics of the patient and the amount of fat tissue. Edema and bruises are common and considered normal. These symptoms disappear over time. Sutures are removed 7 days after the procedure. After 1 week or 3 weeks, you can return to your daily life if there is no problem in terms of general condition. After about 1 month, you can return to normal exercises.
A balanced eating habit should be developed in order for the result obtained after the liposuction procedure to be permanent and to prevent fat regeneration in the treated area. Vegetables, fiber-rich foods and low-fat protein sources should be the priority choice in this process. Although most of the fat cells in the area are removed by vacuum during the application, this does not mean that fat accumulation in that area will be completely prevented again.

What is Laser Liposuction?
What are the Differences Between Laser Lipolysis and Liposuction?
The most obvious difference between these two methods is the way fat tissues are removed. In liposuction application, fat tissues are vacuumed out of the body through cannulas. In laser lipolysis, it is excreted through urine. Therefore, if the fat tissue is at a level that cannot be excreted in the urine, direct liposuction method is preferred.
