How is the Liposuction Procedure Performed?

• Preliminary Consultation: For our patients coming from outside Istanbul, preliminary information and assessments are provided via WhatsApp.
• In-Person Examination: You will be physically examined by Dr. Ali Mezdeği at the clinic.
• Surgical Planning: Before the day of surgery, surgical markings are made on the patient, and the operation plan is finalized.
• Anesthesia & Setting: Liposuction surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a fully equipped hospital setting.
• Duration: The duration of the surgery varies between 1 to 2.5 hours, depending on the extent of the area being treated.
• Tumescent Technique: At the beginning of the procedure, special solutions (tumescent fluid) are injected into the fat removal areas. This minimizes blood loss due to vasoconstriction during surgery and significantly reduces post-operative pain.
• Incision Placement: Incisions made for liposuction are 3–5 mm in size. These incisions are strategically planned to remain hidden within skin folds or under the bikini line/underwear.
• Discharge: The patient is typically discharged on the same day or the following day.
• Scarring: Suture removal is not required after the operation, and scars become almost invisible after 1–2 months.

Liposuction Recovery Process

You may need to stay in the hospital for one day following the liposuction procedure. Therefore, it is beneficial to have a companion with you to assist. Additionally, since you cannot drive immediately after the surgery, arrangements should be made for someone to drive you home.

Days 1-3: A compression garment (corset) is applied to the operated area. This garment is worn for approximately 10 days initially (or as directed). You must use it to control edema/swelling and to support the body tissue. In rare cases, a drain may be used to prevent fluid and blood accumulation. Mild pain may occur in the first few days; please use the prescribed painkillers and antibiotics until the box is finished. Avoid unnecessary movements and try to rest at home for 1 week.

Days 10–15: Pain and discomfort will diminish to almost non-existent levels. If you have a desk job, you may return to work at the end of the 2nd week, provided you do not lift heavy objects. During this period and while working, you must continue wearing your compression garment.

Weeks 4–5: Pain ceases completely. Almost all swelling disappears, and your new body contour begins to emerge. If you are an active person, you can start light exercises from the 4th week onwards.

Weeks 6–12: Swelling, edema, and bruising should be completely resolved (excluding exceptional cases). You will generally stop using the corset at this stage. You can resume your pre-surgery lifestyle fully. You will see the final results clearly and notice the significant change in your physique.

Important Note: Do not forget to maintain a balanced diet. Try to drink plenty of water. Consume fresh fruits and vegetables. Bone broth is highly beneficial for recovery; try to obtain it or prepare it at home. Light walks are always recommended; try to incorporate them into your routine.

Liposuction Techniques

1. Wet Technique (Tumescent / Classic Liposuction): The Reliable Foundation This is the first and most fundamental method that comes to mind when mentioning liposuction. In this technique, a special fluid (tumescent solution) is injected into the area to be treated. This fluid minimizes bleeding, controls pain, and facilitates the easier removal of fat tissue. Subsequently, the fat is mechanically removed from the body via thin cannulas. It remains the gold standard and a highly effective method, especially when high-volume fat removal is required across large areas.

2. Vaser Liposuction (Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction): The Art of Precision Sculpting Vaser technology offers revolutionary precision using ultrasonic sound waves. These sound waves specifically target fat cells, gently liquefying them without damaging surrounding tissues (blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue). Advantages: Thanks to this selective approach, significantly less bruising, less edema, and a noticeably faster recovery process are observed. Who is it Ideal For? It is an excellent option for patients seeking detailed and precise body contouring, such as defining abdominal muscles (Hi-Def/Six-Pack aesthetics), creating a waist curve, and achieving an athletic appearance.

3. Laser-Assisted Liposuction (Laser Lipolysis): Dual Action In this method, a fiber-optic laser probe is inserted under the skin to melt fat cells using laser energy. The heat provided by the laser offers a significant additional benefit: It triggers collagen production under the skin, providing a degree of skin tightening. Who is it Ideal For? Thanks to this feature, it is an ideal alternative for small and delicate areas that have both fat accumulation and a risk of skin laxity, such as the jowl (submental), inner arms, or around the knees.

4. Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL / Lipomatic): Effective Power Against Stubborn Fat The Lipomatic system utilizes special cannulas that perform very rapid vibrating movements (reciprocating and rotational) under the surgeon’s control. This mechanical power makes breaking down hard, fibrous, and stubborn fat tissue much easier. Advantages: Since it requires less physical effort from the surgeon, it allows for larger volumes of fat to be removed in a shorter time. Who is it Ideal For? It is frequently preferred for areas with dense and fibrous fat tissue such as the back, in the treatment of gynecomastia in men, and in revision surgeries where liposuction has been performed previously.

Advanced Skin Tightening Technologies (RFAL, J-Plasma) In some cases, a distinct need for skin tightening may arise after fat removal.

• Radio Frequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL): Provides significant tightening by controlled heating of the skin simultaneously with fat removal (often associated with BodyTite).
• J-Plasma (Renuvion): Creates a strong tightening effect under the skin using helium plasma energy and is usually applied as an add-on to the liposuction procedure.

Revision Liposuction in Turkey

(Correction Liposuction)

Many patients suffer from unsuccessful procedures performed at other clinics, resulting in complications such as rippling (waviness) or indentations.

Have you had liposuction before but are not satisfied with the result?

Some patients are left with depressions and lumps on their bodies following liposuction. This is one of the most common problems encountered by liposuction patients. These issues can be resolved with Revision Liposuction surgeries. However, this is truly the work of a “master plastic surgeon.” It requires extremely precise and delicate workmanship.

Addressing Depressions (Indentations): For areas of the body that remain uneven or have depressions, Fat Grafting (Fat Injection) is required. This is an essential procedure to ensure the body acquires a smooth contour. Balance is crucial here; while trying to fill the depressions, care must be taken not to create new lumps. Dr. Ali Mezdeği approaches this issue with meticulous precision.

Addressing Residual Bulges (Lumps): Areas that remain as prominent bulges or “hills” on the body due to various reasons after the initial lipo are corrected with a fine-tuning liposuction technique. This process requires very delicate and precise work. After this procedure, the protruding areas can be brought into balance with the rest of the body.

Conclusion: In Revision Liposuction procedures, detailed and precise surgical marking (mapping) is performed before the operation. A surgical plan is customized according to the patient’s specific condition. Even if the surgery takes longer than a standard procedure, the unbalanced sections of the body can be effectively corrected.

Lipo 360 in Turkey

(360 Degree Liposuction)

Unlike classic liposuction, this approach addresses the entire torso section. It is the name given to combined liposuction surgeries performed not just on a single area, but simultaneously on the abdomen, flanks (love handles), and back.

We generally perform this surgery using the Vaser Liposuction technique. The reason for this is the need for precise contouring (High Definition). Subcutaneous fat is melted (emulsified), and the surgery is performed without damaging the blood vessels. If there is excessive skin sagging after the fat is removed, a skin excision procedure (such as a mini tummy tuck) is added to the surgery.

Lipo 360 for Men in Turkey

The skin and fibrous structure of men are different from women; it is slightly thicker and more fibrous. Therefore, extra care is taken during the procedure to avoid damaging nerves and blood vessels. Structurally, the surgery is performed in the same way. The only difference lies in the aesthetic goal: women typically desire an “hourglass” figure at the waist. In men, when we perform Lipo 360, we aim to construct a more V-shaped body structure (V-Taper). This enhances the masculine appearance.

Mons Pubis Liposuction (Pubic Area)

When the pubic area is very prominent or bulging, it can indeed be bothersome for women. Additionally, even if the abdominal area is slim, if the upper pubic area remains fatty, it creates an aesthetically unbalanced appearance. We include the upper pubic region, known as the Mons Pubis, in Lipo 360 surgeries. This ensures the body looks fit as a complete whole, resulting in a visually magnificent outcome.

Male Liposuction Turkey

Liposuction for men requires special precision and delicate work. As a doctor frequently performing liposuction for men, Dr. Ali Mezdeği knows every detail of this procedure. The male body differs from the female body, but the areas treated with liposuction are nearly the same. These areas include:

• Neck liposuction
• Chin
• Chest area
• Abdominal area
• Inner thighs
• Below the knee liposuction
• Pubic area

Men’s liposuction cost Turkey starts at around 3500 euros. The price varies depending on which of the areas mentioned above will receive liposuction. Your age and weight also affect the price. The more fat present in your body, the longer the procedure may take. Additionally, age-related extra precautions can also impact the cost.

Belly fat removal Turkey

If You Don’t Watch Your Diet, Your Belly May Take a Pear Shape by Ages 40-50. This is a common issue seen in both men and women. For women, belly fat may increase after pregnancy, making it feel impossible to regain your previous shape. But don’t worry; a youthful abdomen can be achieved with stomach fat removal surgery.

Stomach Fat Removal Surgery in Turkey

If you don’t have excessive skin sagging, belly fat can be removed with liposuction in as little as an hour. To ensure a balanced look, the sides and back are also included in the procedure. You’ll be discharged the same day or the next. After surgery, you will wear a compression garment for the period specified by Dr. Ali Mezdeği.

Important Note: Dr. Ali Mezdeği prioritizes your health and won’t remove more fat than is safe, ensuring no risk to you or himself. Also, if a perfectly flat abdomen can’t be achieved, he will inform you honestly. Make sure to discuss this with your surgeon.

Treating Belly Fat Non-Surgically

Creating a healthy eating plan is the first step. Belly fat often comes from sugary and high-calorie foods, so it’s essential to avoid these. Establish a diet plan, and combine aerobic and anaerobic exercises to burn fat and reveal your abdominal muscles.

Back fat removal Turkey

Back liposuction can be performed in a focused way (e.g., lower back only) or as a 360-degree procedure. It’s a common choice for both men and women. The key to successful liposuction is ensuring balance; poorly contoured lipo can lead to unsatisfactory results. Leaving a balanced layer of fat under the skin is essential for an ideal body shape.

Tips:

• Lipo results in a patient in their 20s are generally better than those in their 30s, and 30s results are typically better than 40s.
• Removing too much fat may reduce skin elasticity.
• Enhancing muscle definition through this surgery can lead to excellent results.
• Ideal candidates have a BMI of less than 28.
• It may not be suitable for individuals with excessive skin sagging.
• Fat removal should be even across all body areas to prevent a “boxy” appearance.
• Targeting only the lower back can make bra rolls appear more prominent.
• Sometimes, more fat may need to be removed from one side of the back than the other.
• Liposuction is not intended for weight loss.
• Liposuction does not involve long incision lines and often results in minimal to no visible scarring.
• It does not treat obesity or cellulite but may provide minor improvements.

Important Note: Back liposuction is technically a permanent procedure, but significant weight gain or loss may increase the size of remaining fat cells or potentially create new ones. After surgery, review your diet, sleep, and exercise habits.

Finding the Best Back Liposuction Surgeon

Skill is the top criterion. Research how much experience the surgeon has with liposuction. Reviews and past patient results are valuable, and videos on Instagram and YouTube can provide insights. Remember that experience grows with time, so consider the surgeon’s age and education.
