Liposuction

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that allows you to get rid of fat that resist diet and exercise. The procedure may be combined with other plastic surgery procedures, including face lift.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure and is basically not a weight loss method, even if the result is weight loss. Liposuction allows not only removal of abnormal regional fat accumulation, but also recontouring the body part, where excess fat is suctioned.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves risks. Therefore, you overall health should be good before proceeding to a liposuction. It is important that you have ideal body weight, healthy and elastic skin and do not smoke.

Liposuction is not recommended for people with blood circulation disorder, heart disease, diabetes mellitus or weak immune system.

If you want to have liposuction, please consult our plastic surgeons for techniques, expectations, and potential risks.

Liposuction aims removal of excess fat accumulation and recontouring in a particular body part in persons with otherwise healthy body weight. Therefore, liposuction should not be regarded as a weight loss method.

Accordingly, the objective should be thinning body parts, where fat accumulates despite diet and exercise.

Liposuction is a body part specific operation, such as abdomen, hips, thighs, legs, arms and neck.

Liposuction is contraindicated in persons with heart disease, blood circulation disorder and chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women. In addition, your plastic surgeon will make extra tests and investigations to determine whether liposuction is an option for you or not.

Accordingly, it is very important that you clearly inform your surgeon about your health history.

On the other hand, liposuction does not help skin disorders. Moreover, it has no effect on weight gain and recurrent accumulation of fat.

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells. However, the risk of weight gain cannot be eliminated, as new fat cells will grow. You will need a healthy diet that contains fat-free foods, fruits, vegetables and wheat in order to protect your new contours after the surgery. Regular exercise is also very important.
