What is Liposuction (Aesthetic Fat Removal)?
Liposuction is a preferred fat removal operation in cases where the patient is not overweight but regional fat accumulation cannot be eliminated with exercise or diet. In this surgical procedure, which is a part of plastic surgery, excess fat tissue in the body is released by using thin cannulas placed under the skin and removed from the body by vacuum method.
Both men and women apply liposuction to give the body shape a more aesthetic and beautiful appearance.

The aim is to remove the unwanted adipose tissue that the person finds visually disturbing and to give the area a more aesthetic and beautiful appearance. Anyone who meets the health conditions can have liposuction. Excludes pregnant and lactating women. However, it should not be forgotten that the patient must have completed 18 years of age and his physical development must have been completed.

Liposuction Techniques
Liposuction techniques are named according to the instruments used during the surgery.
Vaser Liposuction
Vaser liposuction is a liposuction technique in which the hard fat tissue explodes the fat cells with sound waves, the fat tissue is liquefied and absorbed with the help of the cannulas used.
Tumescent Liposuction
Tumor liposuction is a liposuction technique in which anesthetic, serum, adrenaline and bicarbonate are injected into the area to be aspirated. In this technique, cannulas are placed in the area where the fat will be taken, and holes are opened in the adipose tissue, the adipose tissue is sucked and the fat cells are broken down.
Laser Liposuction
Laser liposuction, as the name suggests, is a liposuction technique in which laser beams are used to penetrate fat tissue. It is most often used with the tumescent technique and is more suitable for non-dense adipose tissue when only laser liposuction technique is used.
Superficial Liposuction
Superficial liposuction is a liposuction technique that makes it possible to remove excess fat tissue both deep and close to the skin surface. After superficial liposuction, the skin is tighter and more vibrant, and it is possible to get rid of stubborn cellulite with this technique.
Suction Assisted Liposuction
With this technique, a small tube is used during the operation. The tube destroys the adipose tissue in the area with slow and small movements, and the destroyed adipose tissue is absorbed.
Power Assisted Liposuction
In the motorized liposuction technique, the adipose tissue at the end of the cannulas immersed in the excess fat tissue is broken up with a tool. It is especially suitable for denser and harder excess adipose tissue.
Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction
In radiofrequency assisted liposuction, the skin is heated with a bipolar radio frequency device. During the use of this liposuction method, an increase in collagen occurs in the dermis layer, which is the lower layer of the skin. After liposuction with this technique, the patient gets a tighter skin. A detailed examination by the doctor is important to decide which technique to use for liposuction. The hardness/softness, density/lowness, depth/flatness of the adipose tissue are the factors to be considered when deciding on one of these techniques.
Before And After Liposuction
After finding a suitable clinic and the right doctor, the patient must be informed about heart, diabetes or circulatory diseases. In order for the procedure to go smoothly, smoking and alcohol consumption should be stopped at least 10 days before the procedure. Existing allergies should be reported. During this period, blood thinners should also be discontinued and painkillers should be used only in small doses. The most important thing for the success of the post-liposuction procedure and for your health is to follow the doctor's instructions unconditionally, to use medications regularly and to wear a corset. Since it may delay the healing process, smoking should be stopped until the healing process is completed.
