What Is Liposuction and How Is It Performed?

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that can permanently remove localized deposits of body fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Although liposuction can be done on any part of the body, the hips, thighs, knees, abdomen, and submental areas are some of the best places to do it.

Cellulite imperfections cannot be fully corrected by this intervention. The process of liposuction involves the removal of superficial body fat; the surgeon may occasionally limit the quantity of fat that can be removed based on the unique characteristics of each patient.

 

It is essential to attempt quitting smoking at least two weeks before and following the procedure to preserve the possibility of proper healing; in reality, similar to all surgical procedures, this one will leave some scars, albeit very minor ones, which will eventually become stable.

At Prof Clinic, our expert surgeons will use every technique to make the scars tiny and within the level of the surrounding skin. The specific clinical situation and the method employed determine the kind of anesthesia to be used, the length of hospital stays, the frequency and kind of drugs, and when the stitches are taken out.

What Is Liposuction For Men?

Liposuction for men can be of all ages but is most common among those who are between 20 and 50 years old and who have already tried to eliminate abdominal fat, through diet and exercise physical, without success.

Liposuction for men offers several advantages over other fat-reduction methods. For example:

What Can You Expect From Liposuction Surgery?

Liposuction requires that you undergo anesthesia for the procedure. This means that you will not feel any pain during liposuction surgery. However, you will feel pain after the procedure. Recovery can also be somewhat painful. 
Depending on which parts of the body require liposuction, you may have a shorter or longer hospital stay. It is common to have pain, swelling, bruising, and numbness after liposuction.

To minimize pain, these steps can be taken before the procedure:

  • Talk to your doctor about any questions and concerns you have about pain.
  • Ask about the type of anesthesia and pain medications you will be given
  • Ask about any medications you might take before the procedure.
  • You must take all prescribed medications, including pain relievers
  • Wear recommended compression garments
  • You should keep drains in place after surgery as recommended by your doctor.
  • Rest and try to relax
  • Drink liquid
  • Avoid excess salt, which can increase swelling (edema)

What Are The Different Types of Liposuction?

1. Traditional liposuction

In traditional liposuction, the surgeon makes incisions of a few mm, through which the suction cannula is inserted, then rapidly manipulated back and forth. This vibration, exerted manually, allows the surgeon to separate and remove a few kilograms of excess fat and reshape body contours with precision under general anesthetic, particularly on smaller areas, such as the arms, knees or ankles.

This fundamental process has been steadily improved over time.

2. Vaser Liposuction “Ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL)”

Vaser liposuction technique uses a particular suction cannula, which vibrates very rapidly and emits ultrasound. Sometimes.
During Vaser liposuction in Turkey, the surgeon uses a particular device on or under the skin, which emits ultrasound energy and breaks down the walls of fat cells, forming an emulsion. The liquefied fat is then removed. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction ( Vaser liposuction) takes longer than other methods, but it is more precise and tends to be more effective at removing fat from fibrous areas of the body (such as the male breast). The disadvantage is that it generates a lot of heat, and if the ultrasonic cannula is not removed quickly enough. 

Your doctor will tell you which technique is best during a consultation at Prof Clinic.

Common Reasons For Considering Liposuction Procedure

Common Reasons For Considering Liposuction Procedure

Every year, liposuction is performed on both men and women for a range of purposes. While some patients seek to discover more comfortable pants, others want to appear better in a swimsuit. Gynecomastia in men can frequently be effectively treated with liposuction. Liposuction is a common technique used by cosmetic surgeons to improve the results of other surgeries like bariatric Surgery.

 

Consider liposuction if you are in good health and any of the identified factors relate to you:

  • You want to get rid of fatty deposits that are resistant to diet and physical activity from your arms, chin, neck, thighs, hips, and chest. Liposuction surgery is a great way to smooth out fat bulges and give the body a gorgeously natural shape.

 

  • You believe that some parts of your body don’t quite fit the rest of yourself. You can enhance your distinctive features by reducing extra fat in one part of your body.
  • You don’t have issues with drooping skin because of your high level of skin elasticity. The tone of the skin should be sufficient for the skin to shrink to the new shapes of the body for the best outcomes.
  • You are in the ballpark of your ideal body weight. Concentrated fat deposits are best removed via liposuction, and the most pleased patients were usually satisfied with their weight before the procedure.

Liposuction should be avoided if:

  • you smoke
  • You have chronic health problems
  • Have you had any immunological disease
  • you are overweight
  • You have sagging skin
  • You have a history of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or seizures
  • You take medications that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as blood thinners

Proven Benefits of Liposuction in Turkey

Liposuction offers many benefits to patients. Prof Clinic has performed hundreds of liposuction procedures during years of experience in private practice in the area of ​​plastic surgery. 
Here are 5 benefits of liposuction:

Benefit 1: Liposuction is a safe fat-removal process

Perhaps one of the main reasons why liposuction is becoming so popular is that this is a safe procedure if performed by a professional team. What is removed is a pure form of fat, just adipose tissue. Liposuction is typically an outpatient procedure, and patients usually recover after a few days of rest.

Benefit 2: Liposuction permanently removes fat cells

Possibly one of the most favorable benefits of liposuction is that it permanently eliminates fat cells in the treatment areas. Once adipocytes are removed, they will not grow back! However, you should keep in mind that the fact that you lose fat cells in one area of ​​your body does not mean that you cannot gain fat in another area due to the hypertrophy of this tissue. It is important after a liposuction procedure to maintain a stable weight.

Benefit 3: Liposuction improves your appearance and the way others perceive you

Many people in our society judge people by their appearance. Unfortunately, if you have unwanted fat in your body, people can use that fact to form negative opinions about you. Liposuction improves your appearance by giving you a more aesthetically appealing physique and changing the way others see you.

Benefit 4: Liposuction can increase your self-esteem

By removing fat cells and giving patients a more contoured look, liposuction often gives patients a boost in self- esteem , making them feel more confident in their clothing and swimsuits.

Benefit 5: Liposuction can remove fat that neither diet nor exercise can

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of liposuction is that it is effective at removing stubborn fat deposits that don’t go away on their own, no matter how well you eat or how often you exercise. In fact, liposuction is often used by people who eat healthy and are physically active, but just can’t seem to remove unwanted fat in certain problem areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back.

FAQs About Liposuction Surgery in Turkey

Liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery. This surgery removes excess fat to improve body appearance and correct irregular body contours. This procedure is sometimes called body contouring.
Liposuction is indicated for patients of legal age, who are in good health and who have accumulations of localized fat in some area of the body that they wish to eliminate. To find out if you are a good fit, it is best to speak with an experienced plastic surgeon in Istanbul.

Liposuction can be performed for neck liposuction, full body liposuction, and under-chin fat removal.
Is liposuction in Istanbul a safe procedure?

Under the hands of a trained and experienced plastic surgeon, liposuction is usually regarded as a safe operation. Nevertheless, it has some dangers and possible side effects, just like any surgical operation. When you consult with your surgeon, they will go over these with you.

Liposuction usually lasts between 1 and 2 hours, but the time is variable (from 30 minutes to several hours) depending on the area, amount, and technique.

The liposuction cost in Turkey range from $3000 to $5000
Are the results of liposuction permanent?

Long-lasting effects after liposuction are possible, but to maximize and preserve the procedure’s effects, one needs to keep a balanced weight and lifestyle.

This is probably the biggest myth about this intervention. No, liposuction does not lose weight. What’s more, it is a process of body remodeling, not weight loss.

 

Although Vaser methodology can be applied in the vast majority of cases, there are some exceptions:

  • subjects suffering from morbid obesity.
  • smokers.

Since the Vaser Liposuction methodology is not an alternative technique for losing weight but for reshaping the male and female body by removing excess adipose tissue, the amount of fat that can be eliminated varies depending on the patient.
