Stubborn fat accumulations in areas of the body such as the abdomen, waist circumference, hips, inner legs, knees, arms and jowls can spoil the aesthetic appearance and negatively affect the person’s body perception. These resistant fat tissues, which accumulate in some areas despite healthy nutrition and exercise, are removed from the body by liposuction, resulting in a more proportionate and shaped appearance.
Liposuction can be applied by the classical method, with the help of laser or by the vaser method using ultrasonic sound waves. In particular, vaser liposuction liquefies fat without damaging the surrounding tissues and stands out with its rapid recovery process. After the application, bruising and edema are less common and the patient can return to daily life in a short time.
This procedure is not done for weight loss, but for regional shaping. In patients with overweight problems, liposuction should be planned after approaching the ideal weight. Additionally, in cases such as postpartum sagging, liposuction alone may not be sufficient; it may need to be combined with additional procedures such as abdominoplasty.
The procedure can be applied to people over the age of 18 with suitable health conditions. It is recommended to stay away from smoking, alcohol, blood thinners and supplements before the application. The surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia and its duration varies depending on the amount of fat to be removed. It is generally recommended to stay in hospital for 1 day after the procedure. The use of a corset during the first 4–6 weeks is important to reduce edema and support skin harmony.
Fat cells removed by liposuction are removed permanently. However, a healthy diet and regular physical activity are essential to maintain long-term results. Fats removed by the Vaser method can also be used for transfer to other parts of the body in appropriate cases.
Although the recovery process after liposuction varies depending on the person and the application area, the patient can usually return to social life within a few days. Mild pain, edema and bruising that may occur in the application area will decrease in a short time. The incisions made during the procedure are quite small and become invisible over time.
