What is liposuction in Turkey?

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that eliminates surplus fat from the chosen parts of the body to make them look better and more in form. It is performed by professional plastic surgeons. This procedure is done on patients who have fat deposits in only one place and for this reason, they do not respond to diet and exercise and are in good general health. A surgeon, during the surgery, puts a thin tube named a cannula through small incisions to suck out the unwanted fat which is also called liposuction and as a result, you will become more sculpted.

Tumescent Technique

Infusion: A liquid without any germs that are made of saline, lidocaine (a local anesthetic), and epinephrine (to narrow blood vessels) is introduced into the fat deposits which are to be removed. This in turn reduces blood loss, pain, and injury to the nearby tissues.

Incisions

Small Incisions: The little, almost unnoticeable cuts (usually less than a centimeter) are performed in the area to be treated. These are located in such a way as to make the scars not visible.

Fat Removal

Suctioning: The cannula is designed to oscillate and thus it gets the fat loosened which then can be sucked out of the body with a surgery vacuum or syringe connected to it.

Monitoring and Adjustments Monitoring

The patient's vital signs and the fluid balance are constantly being checked during the entire operation.

Is a liposuction worth it?

Yes, liposuction is a standard and safe operation and worth it if the right candidate is selected for the procedure.

It specifically gets rid of the unaesthetic fat that isn't reduced by doing exercises and minimizing the intake of fats, which in return enhances the looks and emotions of a person. However it should not be viewed as the way to lose weight or fight obesity, and the results are finite, which means a proper diet and exercise regime are expected post the surgery. The possible risks and adverse effects have to be studied and taken into account, namely bacterial infection, asymmetrical profile, and reactions to anesthesia have to be weighed and discussed with an experienced surgeon.

Does liposuction leave scars?

Yes, liposuction causes liposuction scars but they are often negligible. The cuts that are made during the surgery are minute, in most cases being less than one centimeter in length, and are made in areas that cannot easily be seen. Such cuts usually do not complicate and leave less conspicuous marks that are usually tiny in size. Wound care and various methods such as the use of absorbable sutures assist in minimizing scarring hence making them almost invisible in the long run.

How long does lipo last?

The liposuction benefits last for a long time, usually between 10-15-10 years and even more.

The duration and effectiveness of the results vary and depend on factors like stable weight, a healthy lifestyle, and genetic predispositions. Again, weight loss, pregnancy, or aging may impair the efficacy of the treatment making it possible for the fat to reappear in the targeted areas. Therefore, to make the liposuction results long-lasting, one must embrace regular exercises and a balanced diet.

How soon after lipo will I see results?

Bleeding and edema after the surgery might hide the comprehensive result for a few days, but as the swelling subsides and plethoric fluid lessens, the beautiful silhouettes become more evident. The final results are usually not seen for at least six months as the body needs time for post-operative healing and more importantly, the tissues need time to settle in. The patients should wear compression garments and follow all the guidelines given by the surgeons to ensure a proper healing process and desirable outcomes.

What BMI do you need for liposuction?

The ideal requirement that must be met for liposuction is having a BMI of 30 or lower. This is because liposuction is not a method of losing weight but rather gaining the required shape and size of the body, and it is appropriate for people who are already at an ideal weight.

Can you fly after liposuction?

Conversely, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is appropriate for patients with loose abdominal skin, diastasis recti, or muscle separations since the surgery entails excision of the excess skin and then pulling the abdominal muscles. The consultations with a qualified plastic surgeon should be proper to ascertain the best procedure set to be followed depending on the anatomical features and goals to be achieved.

How do you sleep after liposuction?

While in bed in the first few hours after the surgery, it is advisable to lie on your back with the upper part slightly raised. It also reduces inflammation and pains and ensures that any fluids are drained out adequately. Extra cushions should be placed under your head and your upper back all in a bid to ensure that you are in the correct position comfortably. In essence, recovering from your surgery shall require adherence to some strict rules that your surgeon will advise you to follow.

Can I exercise after liposuction?

Exercise and heavy lifting should also not be undertaken for at least four to six weeks because of the increased risk of blood clots, fluid retention, and slow wound healing after the operation. The surgeon should be consulted on when one can slowly begin a gradual return to physically demanding activities for a safe liposuction recovery.

How soon can I shower after liposuction?

Generally, you can take a shower within 48 hours after the operation. First, no hot water, and do not press hard on areas that have been treated to ensure that they do not cause more harm. Pat the incisions dry gently and do not immerse them in water, like in a swimming pool or bath, till they are fully healed. Care should be taken to ensure that the surgical sites do not come into contact with any contaminating agent or moisture to minimize the possibility of acquiring an infection and at the same time allow for effective liposuction healing.

Does liposuction remove cellulite?

No, liposuction does not remove cellulite it only removes localized fat through a process of vacuuming the fat from underlying tissues. Liposuction is intended for the elimination of fatty deposits located far beneath the skin, while cellulite involves septae and fat that are located closer to the epidermis. Even though liposuction gives the body a smoother look, it cannot help remove the pinch that defines cellulite. More effective at minimizing the feel of cellulite, are treatments that are aimed directly at it and may include laser treatment or radio frequency.
