LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes (contours) these areas. Other names for liposuction include lipoplasty and body contouring.
Liposuction isn’t typically considered an overall weight-loss method or a weight-loss alternative. If you’re overweight, you’re likely to lose more weight through diet and exercise or through bariatric procedures — such as gastric bypass surgery — than you would with liposuction.
Who Can Perform Liposuction?
People who are over 18 years and have no health problems and their capability has been confirmed by doctors, can do Liposuction in Turkey. It is important that patients should have no problems in blood pressure and immune system. The doctor will examine the patient in detail and check on their health condition.
1
Before Liposuction
Before your liposuction procedure, the surgeon may mark circles and lines on the areas of your body to be treated. Photos also may be taken so that before and after images can be compared.
How your liposuction procedure is done depends on the specific technique that’s used. Your surgeon will select the appropriate technique based on your treatment goals, the area of your body to be treated, and whether you have had other liposuction procedures in the past.

During Liposuction
Some liposuction procedures may require only local or regional anesthesia — anesthesia limited to a specific area of your body. Other procedures may require general anesthesia, which induces a temporary state of unconsciousness. You may be given a sedative, typically through an IV injection, to help you remain calm and relaxed.
The surgical team will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen level throughout the procedure. If you are given local anesthesia and feel pain during the procedure, tell your surgeon. The medication or motions may need adjustment.
The procedure may last up to several hours, depending on the extent of fat removal.

After Liposuction
Expect some pain, swelling and bruising after the procedure. Your surgeon may prescribe medication to help control the pain and antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.
After the procedure, the surgeon may leave your incisions open and place temporary drains to promote fluid drainage. You usually need to wear tight compression garments, which help reduce swelling, for a few weeks.
You may need to wait a few days before returning to work and a few weeks before resuming your normal activities — including exercise.
During this time, expect some contour irregularities as the remaining fat settles into position.
Liposuction Techniques
Liposuction techniques vary depending on the operation, techniques can be classified as following:
1 – Tumescent Technique: During this technique, a compound liquid of different chemicals is injected into the treated area, and then this area is sterilized, then fat is extracted from it.
2 – Ultrasound Technique: This technique is especially used when Liposuction is intended for solid areas of the body, and it is very effective to make the body more consistent. An ultrasound tube is placed, thus eliminating fat.
3 – Laser Liposuction: During this technique, fat is dissolved by high density laser then suctioned. It is usually applied with Tumescent Technique. And it is preferable if the amount of fat to be suctioned is few or medium, and if it is applied beside Tumescent Technique it can get rid of a large amount of fat with a high success rate.
4 – Power-assisted Technique: In this technique, a tube is placed under the skin in some areas, this tube will generate powerful vibrations that dissolve fat and eliminate it. This technique is preferred more than the other techniques because it is easier and pain-free with high success rate.
5 – Suction-assisted Technique: With this technique fat is eliminated by a fine tube passed through a small incision in the skin, and then Liposuction is carried out by moving the tube slightly.
6 – Radio-waves Technique: This is the most advanced technique, it dissolves fat by high radio waves.
