Liposuction Surgery

Body Shaping Surgeries: Liposuction

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to reduce unwanted fat deposits in the body and improve body shape. This surgery involves the suction of fat cells with a special vacuum device. Liposuction usually targets fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, upper arms and neck.

How is Liposuction Performed?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that is usually performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon passes a thin cannula through the skin to absorb the fat cells. This cannula is placed in the areas where there are fat deposits and the fat is sucked with a vacuum device. The surgeon works with careful movements to ensure a symmetrical and balanced fat removal. At the end of the procedure, the skin is closed and the patient enters the healing process.

Who Can Apply Liposuction?

Liposuction can be applied to healthy individuals with body shaping and fat reduction goals. Ideal candidates are those who have a stable body weight and cannot reduce their fat deposits with diet and exercise. Liposuction is performed not for weight loss, but to improve body contours.

After Liposuction Surgery

After liposuction surgery, patients usually feel discomfort for a few days. Swelling, bruising and tenderness may be seen in the procedure area. Doctor Erkan Kural usually advises his patients to wear a compression garment. This garment reduces swelling and helps the skin tissue heal properly. The healing process can vary from person to person, but you can usually return to normal daily activities within a few weeks.

Liposuction Results

Liposuction results usually begin to be noticed soon after surgery, but full results will appear until the swelling has completely subsided. A smoother contour and less fat accumulation is seen in the treatment area. The results are usually permanent, but there may be changes in body shape after weight gain or loss. For ideal results, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly and follow a balanced diet.

Risks and Side Effects of Liposuction

Because liposuction is a surgical procedure, there are some risks and side effects. These may include infection, bleeding, reactions to anesthesia, skin irregularities, swelling and bruising. However, the risks are minimal in liposuction procedures that are properly evaluated and applied. Doctor Erkan Kural informs his patients about these potential risks and side effects in detail and answers all questions before the procedure.

4 Step Liposuction Procedure

Step 1: Anesthesia

Before starting the liposuction procedure, the patient is anesthetized. Generally, general anesthesia is preferred so that the patient sleeps and does not feel any pain or discomfort. Anesthesia helps the surgeon to perform the procedure comfortably and ensure the comfort of the patient.

Step 2: Preparing the Processing Area

Before starting the liposuction procedure, the surgeon cleans and sterilizes the areas to be treated. Markings are made on the treated area and the surgeon uses the marks to identify fat deposits and then insert cannulas into these areas. This preparatory phase makes the process more organized and controlled.

Step 3: Making Small Incisions

For the liposuction procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions to insert the fat suction cannulas into the skin. Because these incisions are usually very small, the risk of scarring is low. The incisions are usually placed in natural folds or body contours so that the scars are less obvious afterwards.

Step 4: Oil Absorption Process

After the incisions are made, the surgeon begins the fat suction process. A thin cannula is inserted through the incisions and directed to the areas of fat deposits. By moving the cannula back and forth, the surgeon gently breaks up the fat cells and sucks them in with the help of vacuum. This process helps to reduce unwanted fat deposits under the skin and allows a more shaped body contour to be obtained.

Step 5: Closing the Incisions and the Healing Process

After the fat suction is complete, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions. Usually sutures or skin adhesives are used. A bandage or compression garment can be applied to the area after the procedure. This helps reduce swelling and bruising and allows the skin tissue to heal properly.

The recovery process after liposuction may vary from person to person, but it is usually possible to return to normal daily activities within a few weeks. It is important to do the right wound care and skin care, following your surgeon’s instructions. Regular check-ups throughout the healing process allow your surgeon to monitor your progress and intervene as needed.

Liposuction is an important step in getting rid of unwanted fat accumulations and body shaping. However, since each individual’s needs and expectations are different, it is important to schedule a consultation appointment with Doctor Erkan Kural to determine if you are suitable for liposuction. Our expert team is here to create the most suitable treatment plan for you and help you achieve the body contour you want.
