Fat Removal

The pre-operative examination is the assessment of your general health status. Your current diseases, medications, and previous operations are checked. Then your detailed examination is performed. The fat accumulation in the area to be treated and the quality of your skin are evaluated. Before each plastic surgery, your photos are taken and the surgery is planned by drawing just before the surgery.

Depending on the incisions we will make to reach the areas where liposuction will be performed in the surgery, you will have as many 0.5 cm scars as needed. We inform you in detail during our initial examination. The scar left in the surgery will be permanent. Although it is more obvious at first, it will become vague within 1 year.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The duration varies depending on the amount of fatty tissue to be taken and how many areas will be treated. For the procedure, 2-3 mm entrance holes are opened from a place close to the area where the fat will be taken. With the help of these holes, a liquid is given inside so that you do not feel pain. Afterward, the fats are removed by vacuuming with the help of a cannula.

We recommend that you stay in the hospital for 1 night after the operation. Although the pain in liposuction operations varies according to the operated area and the amount of fat removed, it is at a tolerable level. We recipe painkillers and antibiotics on discharge. We recommend that you rest for 7-10 days. You also need to use a special corset for 6 weeks.

You can see the result of the surgery immediately, but it will take approximately 1-2 months for the swelling to go down and 6-12 months to take its final shape.

The result of the surgery is permanent.

In liposuction surgery, the number of fat cells in the operated area is reduced. However, if a significant amount of weight is gained, lubrication may occur again, as the volume of existing fat cells will increase in the operated area, as in other parts of the body.

In case of lubrication due to weight gain, you can have liposuction surgery again.

Every surgery has risks. There may be early or late complications due to anesthesia or surgery. It is quite normal to see widespread edema and bruising in the treated areas in the early period due to surgery. Rarely, conditions such as bleeding or infection may be observed. The risk is increased especially in smokers. In the recovery period, depressions may rarely occur with the reduction of edema. Your scars may heal with swelling.
