Once again, we present you with a strong headline as Dr. Ebru Durmuş. In this article, we will try to answer everything you wonder about liposuction. First, let us briefly summarize the section on our website (http://www.drebrudurmus.com/liposuction). As is well known, liposuction is a procedure that allows you to get rid of localized fat deposits. With this service, successfully performed in Izmir, women can now say goodbye to their stubborn fat easily and permanently. So let’s move directly to the question: what is liposuction, how is it performed, and what should be considered before and after the procedure?
What Is Liposuction?
Also known as fat removal, liposuction is a surgical procedure applied to stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the hips, abdomen, and face that cannot be eliminated through diet or exercise. With the liposuction method, you can achieve a firmer and more contoured body.
Who Is Not Suitable for Liposuction?
The most important point for patients to know is that liposuction is not a weight loss method, but rather a technique for regional fat reduction. Patients should consider this when making their decision. In addition, liposuction is not recommended for pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding. Although there is no strict age limit, in middle-aged and older patients, liposuction may need to be combined with supportive procedures such as a tummy tuck.
How Is Liposuction Performed?
Before undergoing this procedure, it is essential to choose experienced and specialized aesthetic centers and surgeons. During liposuction, 2–3 mm incisions are made in the target area, fat layers are broken down, and then removed from the body using special instruments. This is the classical liposuction method. Recently, however, laser liposuction has become the most popular choice among women. In this technique, the fat in the treated area is liquefied with laser energy and then removed using fine cannulas. Another variation uses laser energy to break down the fat, which is then naturally eliminated through the urinary system rather than suction.
What Should Be Done After Liposuction?
Bruising and redness in the treated areas generally subside within one to two weeks. It is crucial to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon. Wearing compression garments and maintaining regular exercise are among the recommended activities after liposuction.
If you also undergo a tummy tuck surgery following your liposuction procedure, you can achieve an even more elegant and refined appearance. For more detailed information about tummy tuck procedures, please visit www.drebrudurmus.com/karin-estetigi.
