Liposuction is one of the most preferred body -shaping methods in the aesthetic surgery world. This method, which is used by individuals who want to get rid of regional lubrications, provides the removal of stubborn oils in the body with surgical techniques. Rather than being a means of weight loss, liposuction, which is used to clear and shape body lines, has become more comfortable and effective in recent years with technological developments. This operation, which is widely implemented in Türkiye and especially in Istanbul, offers successful results for many people who want to improve their aesthetic appearance.
Liposuction surgery not only provides improvement in physical appearance, but also increases the self -confidence of individuals and has positive effects on their social life. This procedure, which gives permanent results when supported by lifestyle changes and regular exercise is directly linked to the surgeon's experience and method used. This operation, also known as “liposakşın ında in the aesthetic world, creates both physical and psychological satisfaction when planned by a conscious decision and a detailed counseling process.
Liposuction is the process of surgical removal of fats that accumulate in certain parts of the body and cannot be removed by diet or exercise. This method, also known as "fat removal" in aesthetic surgery, is applied for regional thinning and correcting the body contour. Liposuction is not a method of weight loss; shaping operation. So the purpose of this operation is not to weaken, but to bring the body closer to the ideal form. With the development of technology, less invasive techniques such as laser liposuction, Vaser liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction have been used as well as classical methods.
In the traditional liposuction method, small incisions are opened and fats are pulled from the body with the help of cannulas. During the operation, the adipose tissue is broken down and taken out by vacuum. The procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and the duration of hospitalization may vary depending on the patient's condition. Liposuction is not only used for oil intake, but also for purposes such as symmetry and contour correction. For this reason, liposuction is a process that needs to be carefully planned medically.
The liposuction process starts primarily with patient assessment. The appropriate candidate is determined, the body mass index is taken into consideration and the region is planned to take fat. The surgeon usually draws photos before the procedure by marking the areas to be processed with a pen. The type of anesthesia is determined according to the condition of the patient, sedated or general -patient. During the operation, the surgeon placed thin tubes (cannula) from small incisions and breaks the fat cells and pulls these cells out with vacuum method. This may take an average of 1 to 3 hours on average. The dressing is applied after the procedure and it is recommended to wear corsets.
After liposuction, the healing process is usually rapid. In the first days there may be swelling, bruise and mild pain, but they decrease in a short time. Usually within a week, patients can return to their daily lives. However, it is necessary to wait at least 3-4 weeks for physical activities such as sports. Although liposuction varies according to the region, full results may take 2-3 months. The use of corsets recommended by the doctor for the healthy progress of this process, massage and healthy nutrition are of great importance. The protection of the results obtained after liposuction is directly related to the lifestyle.
Liposuction can be applied to many different parts of the body. The most common regions are the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, knee, arms and back. In addition, the tickle area, neck, wrists and men can be successfully applied to smaller areas such as gynecomastia. The technique to be used for each region may vary. For example, more sensitive methods are preferred in fine areas, while classic liposuction techniques can be used in areas with more dense fat tissue.
Liposuction can be applied to more than one region in the same session, but this is limited according to the general health status of the patient and the amount of fat to be taken. Experts generally do not recommend that more than 4-5 liters of oil be taken in one session. In case of excess fat, the risk of complications increases. In regional applications, the target is to correct the contour of the region and to obtain a harmonious appearance with the environmental regions. It is the most important criterion of a successful liposuction operation to achieve a aesthetic result by maintaining body proportion.
Liposuction is generally preferred in cases where regional lubricants cannot be removed with exercise and diet. In particular, with genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalance or age, stubborn fat accumulation may occur in certain parts of the body. These fat accumulation not only disrupt the physical appearance, but also can cause difficulty in clothing preferences and lack of self -confidence. In such cases, liposuction offers an effective solution that positively affects one's body perception.
In addition, some medical conditions may require liposuction. For example, in cases of gynecomastia (breast growth in men), liposuction can be applied to make the body look more proportional. Or in cases such as lipodistrophy, abnormal fat distribution can be corrected by liposuction. However, in such cases, medical and aesthetic goals should be determined in a balanced way. Since liposuction is not a weight loss method, it is not recommended in common obesity.
Ideal for liposuction are individuals who have good general health, have sufficient skin elasticity and close to ideal weight. People with a body mass index of less than 30 are generally more suitable candidates. Liposuction is corrected by taking regional oils by taking the body contour, but if there is skin drooping, this may require additional surgical intervention. Especially women who have looseness in the postnatal abdominal region can also evaluate additional procedures such as liposuction and abdominal stretching.
Liposuction is not recommended for women who are during pregnancy or in breastfeeding. Similarly, individuals with chronic diseases (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc.) must also go through a detailed health screening before. Individuals with psychologically realistic expectations are more pleased with the results after liposuction. A detailed interview with an aesthetic surgeon should be held before deciding on the operation and planning should be created according to the body structure and health status of the person.
Liposuction surgery should be performed in the period when the person's need to correct the body form becomes clear and is ready to make permanent changes in lifestyle. It usually occurs when the need is recognizing stubborn fat accumulation that cannot be relieved with diet and sports. Especially the fats in the abdominal region after pregnancy, the age of the waist and hip with increased lubrications or genetic causes of asymmetry in certain areas may be signs that show the right time for liposuction. Liposuction should be preferred not to lose weight quickly, but to shape body lines. Therefore, the person's weight should be stable and should be close to the ideal weight.
Liposuction procedures are mostly preferred in autumn and winter. This is because these seasons are more suitable for the use of corsets and hiding swelling during the healing process. In addition, since the sun needs to avoid the sun after the operation, the process of summer may contain additional risks due to sun sensitivity. As a result, the time of implementation of liposuction surgery should be planned depending on both individual preparation and seasonal conditions and guided by a specialist surgeon.
Liposuction surgery is the most frequently fat area; abdomen, waist, basin, hip and thigh environment. These regions usually show more fat accumulation in women due to postnatal or hormonal changes. In men, fats that are usually intensified around the abdomen and waist are targeted. In addition, the interior of the arms, the back, the knee area and the ankles are among the areas that can be intervened with liposuction. Fat accumulation in these regions may disrupt the body's proportion of the person and make it difficult to choose clothes. Thanks to liposuction, more fat tissue is obtained from these regions and a more proportional appearance is obtained.
Liposuction can also be applied in smaller and sensitive areas. For example; Fields such as tickle zone, neck, jaw line and men in men (gynecomastia) can be successfully shaped with minimal invasive techniques. However, since the anatomical structure and oil structure of each region are different, the technique to be applied may change. Especially in areas such as face and neck, the experience of the surgeon is of great importance. In order to avoid lubrication in the areas where fat is taken after liposuction, the patient should maintain healthy living habits. Otherwise, the procedure may be neutrally ineffective.
There are different techniques in liposuction surgery and the method to be applied is determined according to the needs of the patient and the characteristics of the region to be performed. The most widely used technical classic liposuction is “dry technique .. In this method, fat cells are directly shredded with cannulars and vacuum. Another method, “Tümescent liposuction” technique, is injected into the region to be removed by liquid to be removed to ensure that the fat is relaxed. With this method, the risk of bleeding and pain is minimized. The laser liposuction technique is applied to melt and tighten the fat cells using laser energy. This technique can be preferred in patients with low skin elasticity.
Another technique that has become popular in recent years is Vaser Liposuction. In this method, fat cells are separated by using ultrasonic sound waves and the body is shaped without damaging the surrounding tissues. Vaser liposuction is especially preferred in people who want to make muscle contours clear. It also offers effective results for those who want the appearance of the athlete. There are disadvantages as well as the advantages of the techniques, and the most appropriate method for each patient should be determined by the surgeon. Thanks to these technology -supported methods, liposuction processes have become more comfortable and safe.
Before liposuction surgery, it is very important that patients are ready for this process both physically and psychologically. First of all, the general health status should be evaluated. Special measures should be taken for individuals with chronic diseases, regular medication or people with blood clotting disorder. The use of aspirin and similar blood thinners at least 10 days before surgery should be released. Similarly, cigarette and alcohol consumption should be cut at least 2 weeks in advance because these substances may adversely affect the healing process. In addition, the patient's suitability for anesthesia before the surgery should be evaluated by tests.
A detailed interview with the doctor should be made before liposuction and expectations should be expressed clearly. At this stage, the patient's body measurements are taken, the regions to be processed are determined and the possible results are evaluated after the procedure. People with a goal of weight loss should be close to the ideal weight before liposuction, because the process is only suitable for regional shaping. A slight breakfast can be performed on the morning of surgery, but mostly hunger is required for at least 8 hours before the operation. Finally, the fact that the center will have sterile conditions and the surgeon is experienced is the key to a successful operation.
The healing process after liposuction may vary according to the applied area, the amount of fat taken and the technique used. Usually, light swelling, bruising and tingling pain occurs within the first 48 hours after the procedure. These effects can be controlled by painkillers prescribed by the doctor. After the operation, a special corset is given to the patient and this corset is used regularly for about 4 to 6 weeks. The corset helps both edema to distribute and skin tightening. The majority of patients can return to their daily activities within 3-7 days after the procedure; However, it is recommended to avoid heavy exercises.
Another important issue to be considered in the healing process is nutrition and lifestyle. If weight control is not achieved after fat intake, new fat accumulation may occur in different parts of the body. Therefore, healthy eating habits, abundant water consumption and regular exercise process should be supported. It usually takes 2 to 3 months to see the final results after liposuction. Deformities or asymmetries in the early weeks are often temporary and improve over time. The doctor's checks should be continued without interruption and acted as recommended by the surgeon.
As in any surgical operation, liposuction surgery brings some risks. The most common complications include infection, bleeding, swelling, bruising and skin irregularities. Rarely, serious complications such as nerve damage, blood clot (thrombosis), fat embolism and organ damage may also develop. Especially in large volume oil intake, these risks may increase. For this reason, it is of great importance that the liposuction process is made by an experienced plastic surgeon in sterile hospital environment and with appropriate equipment. Information such as allergy and disease history before the operation should be shared in detail with the doctor.
Aesthetic complications are among the risks of liposuction. For example, skin fluctuations, depressions or asymmetric results may occur. Sagging may become more pronounced in people with low skin elasticity. In order to reduce such aesthetic risks, skin tightening or stretching surgeries can be planned in some cases with liposuction. In addition, not enough rest after surgery or not using the recommended corset increases the risk of complications. All these possibilities should be carried out before and after the procedure under the supervision of the doctor.
Pain is not felt during liposuction because the operation is performed under local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia. Which type of anesthesia will be used according to the width of the region and the general health status of the patient. In operations with local anesthesia, the patient becomes awake but does not feel pain; It can only be a feeling of withdrawal or pressure. In general anesthesia, the patient sleeps completely and does not feel anything during the procedure. Since pain control is achieved during the operation, patients have a comfortable process during the procedure.
It is usual to feel mild and moderate pain after the operation. These pains are usually described in the form of whining, tension or tenderness and can be easily controlled by the painkillers prescribed by the doctor. In the first 2-3 days, the pain is the most intense, but after this time passes, the discomfort felt gradually decreases. Swelling and bruises that accompany the pain also disappear in a few weeks. Compliance with the surgeon's recommendations, corset use and gentle massages applied to the region both alleviate pain and accelerate the healing process.
The duration of the liposuction surgery varies according to the number of the region to be processed, the amount of fat to be taken and the technical method applied. Small and limited regions can last between 30 minutes and 1 hour, while more than one region intervened and high-volume oil operations may extend up to 3-4 hours. For example, only a liposuction for tickle zone or abdomen can be completed in a short time, while the time will extend when the abdomen, basin, back and legs are processed at the same time. In addition, the technology used during the operation (such as laser, vaser) may be effective on the time.
Preparation and recovery time as well as the duration of the procedure are important. Preliminary procedures such as anesthesia preparations, regional marks, sterilization can take about 30-45 minutes. After the operation, the patient is kept under observation for 1-2 hours. In general, the total time spent in the hospital on liposuction may take 5-6 hours. If a practice with local anesthesia, the patient can be discharged on the same day. However, it may be preferable that the patient stays in the hospital for one night in a comprehensive and under general anesthesia procedures.
Liposuction surgery can be performed with both local and general anesthesia; This preference is determined according to the scope of the procedure and the comfort of the patient. Liposuction processes are usually performed with local anesthesia in small and limited areas (such as tickle, knee, elbow). In this case, the patient is awake during the procedure, but does not feel pain in the process. In cases where local anesthesia is supported by sedation, the patient undergoes a semi -sleepy process and almost nothing. This method is often preferred in appropriate cases due to less risk.
General anesthesia is preferred when intervening in larger areas or liposuction is to be liposuction at the same time. In this way, the patient sleeps completely and the operation is completed without feeling anything. General anesthesia provides an advantage in terms of working comfort as well as the comfort of the surgeon. However, like any type of anesthesia, general anesthesia also has some risks. For this reason, a detailed evaluation is made by the anesthesiologist before the operation. As a result, which type of anesthesia will be used and the detailed evaluation between the surgeon and the patient are decided.
