Targeting stubborn fat deposits that cannot be dissolved through diet and exercise, liposuction is one of the most widely performed plastic surgery operations in the world for body contouring.<\/p>\n<p>Within the scope of the <a href=\"https:\/\/epic-bartik.212-227-6-40.plesk.page\/en\/plastic-surgery\/\">plastic surgery<\/a> services we offer at EFC Clinic, personalised liposuction planning is carried out by our experienced surgeons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Liposuction_a_Weight_Loss_Method\"><\/span>Is Liposuction a Weight Loss Method?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is one of the most frequently asked questions about liposuction. Liposuction is not a weight loss method; it is a body shaping and contouring procedure. Ideal candidates are generally individuals who are at a healthy weight but experience localised fat deposits in areas such as the waist, abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, arms or face.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liposuction_Techniques\"><\/span>Liposuction Techniques<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Classic_Tumescent_Liposuction\"><\/span>Classic (Tumescent) Liposuction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most widely used technique. Before the procedure, a tumescent solution (a mixture of saline, adrenaline and local anaesthetic) is injected into the fatty tissue. This solution makes the fat easier to aspirate and minimises bleeding and pain. Fat cells are then removed by aspiration through thin cannulas.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vaser_Liposuction_Ultrasonic\"><\/span>Vaser Liposuction (Ultrasonic)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fat cells are first liquefied using ultrasonic energy, then aspirated. Damage to surrounding tissues is minimised. Particularly preferred for fibrous fatty tissue and sensitive areas (back, male chest). Its contribution to skin tightening is greater than the classic method.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Laser_Liposuction\"><\/span>Laser Liposuction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fat cells are melted using laser energy and aspirated. It is the technique with the most pronounced skin tightening effect. Preferred for small amounts of fat or cases where skin sagging is prominent.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hi-Def_High_Definition_Liposuction\"><\/span>Hi-Def (High Definition) Liposuction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>An advanced technique in which fat is shaped very precisely to highlight the athletic appearance of abdominal muscles, chest muscles or arms. Applied in combination with Vaser technology.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is the most popular application of this method. Fat transfer is also used in facial rejuvenation, hand rejuvenation and breast augmentation procedures.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_a_Suitable_Candidate_for_Liposuction\"><\/span>Who is a Suitable Candidate for Liposuction?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The ideal liposuction candidate is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aged 18 or over with good general health<\/li>\n<li>Close to their ideal weight but with localised fat deposits<\/li>\n<li>With sufficient skin elasticity (no excessive sagging)<\/li>\n<li>With realistic expectations<\/li>\n<li>A non-smoker or willing to quit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Excessive overweight, blood clotting disorders or uncontrolled chronic diseases may constitute contraindications for liposuction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liposuction_Operation_Process\"><\/span>Liposuction Operation Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Consultation_and_Planning\"><\/span>1. Consultation and Planning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Our surgeon evaluates the target areas, fat volume and skin quality to determine the most appropriate technique. Liposuction can be applied to multiple areas in the same session.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Operation\"><\/span>2. Operation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Performed under general or local anaesthesia, the procedure can take 1-4 hours depending on the number of areas treated. Patients are generally discharged on the same day or the following day.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Recovery_Process\"><\/span>3. Recovery Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Swelling, bruising and mild pain in the first few days are expected. A special compression garment is recommended for 4-6 weeks. Return to light work is possible within 3-5 days and to strenuous physical activity within 4-6 weeks. The final result emerges within 3-6 months.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liposuction_in_Turkey_Why_EFC_Clinic\"><\/span>Liposuction in Turkey: Why EFC Clinic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Turkey is one of the most preferred destinations for European and Middle Eastern patients for all body contouring operations including liposuction.

However, remaining fat cells can enlarge in the event of weight gain. Results can be made permanent with a balanced diet and regular exercise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_liposuction_and_tummy_tuck_be_performed_in_the_same_session\"><\/span>Can liposuction and tummy tuck be performed in the same session?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Especially when there is both excess fat and skin sagging in the abdominal area, liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) combination can be applied in the same session.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_kilograms_of_fat_does_liposuction_remove\"><\/span>How many kilograms of fat does liposuction remove?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Generally 3-5 litres of fat can be aspirated within safe limits.
