Liposuction in Turkey

We are accustomed to perceiving the “fat pumping” procedure as a means to return the ideal contours to the body. However, there are a number of conditions in which liposuction can also help. They include:

• Macro- and gigantomastia (excessive size of the mammary glands).
• Axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the armpits, from which only Botox injections temporarily help without surgery).
• The presence of different fillers in the tissues that do not dissolve on their own.
• A number of diseases associated with impaired body fat deposition (lipedema, lipodystrophy, Derkum’s disease, etc.).

Removal of significant volumes of fat helps to normalize the hormonal and lipid composition of the blood. This has a beneficial effect on the well-being of a person and becomes excellent prevention of a number of endocrine and cardiovascular diseases.

The obvious advantage of liposuction is a small number of contraindications:

• Severe forms of arterial hypertension.
• Ischemic heart disease.
• Progressive heart failure.
• Problems with blood clotting.
• Hyperthyroidism
• Diseases of the veins of the lower extremities.

Why do you think our compatriots increasingly prefer to perform liposuction abroad?
First of all, foreign specialists guarantee not only a satisfactory end result but also a high level of comfort for a person during the operation and the postoperative period.

1) Injury.
Laser liposuction is the least traumatic of all known methods. This method became possible after the development of a technically perfect laser device. Heating tissues with a laser changes the viscosity and structure of fat, then it is suctioned through microcannulas. By the way, the diameter of the microcannulas used is only half a millimeter. Tissue trauma is minimized! The supply of dosed laser radiation is a safe procedure with an excellent aesthetic result.

2) Result.
In addition to a significant improvement in body contours after surgery, patients note an increase in skin elasticity and smoothness. This effect is due to the effect of the laser on the skin.
3) Precision and stippling.
This method is characterized by high precision and architecture. This is especially important when we talk about the correction of fat deposits above the knees, in the waist, cheeks, chin, etc.
4) Adverse reactions to the procedure are minor and temporary.
The recovery period is much shorter than after classical liposuction and even the popular cavitation liposuction.
Compression garments must be worn after the procedure. The period of continuous wearing depends on the area of laser liposuction: from 5 days to 3 weeks.
Indications:
1. the presence of loose jowls, a second chin, loss of a clear facial contour;
2. lipomastia (in men), gynecomastia;
3. an excess of the subcutaneous fat layer in different parts of the body;
4. lipofilling.
Contraindications:
• hypertension;
• pregnancy;
• menstruation;
• the use of drugs that promote blood thinning;
• development of thrombophlebitis against the background of varicose veins;
• low blood clotting;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• obesity;
• fever caused by viruses or colds;
• lactation period;
• epilepsy;
• mental disorders;
• oncology;
• diabetes.
Recommendations for rehabilitation period:
• around the clock wear compression underwear recommended by the doctor;
• avoid visiting saunas, beaches, swimming pools, and other public bathing places;
• avoid taking baths with extreme temperatures;
• exclude any physical exercises;
• stick to a diet: minimize the consumption of salt, pastries, sweet, pickled, smoked, and fatty foods, as well as coffee;
• prevent edema;
• refuse to visit the solarium, smoking and drinking alcohol;
• protect yourself from viral and colds.

A relative disadvantage of laser liposuction is the need to wear compression underwear in the postoperative period as well as some restrictions during the rehabilitation period.
For us, a very important indicator of a good result is the fact that almost all patients recommended this procedure to their friends and relatives.

• eliminates the need for repeated sessions;
• by tightening the folds, makes the skin more elastic (lifting effect);
• it is performed on high-quality equipment with ultrathin probes, optimal mode of ultrasonic treatment, and a variety of tips, each of which is designed for a specific area of the body;
• provides an opportunity to more accurately outline the contours of the body (compared to classical liposuction);
• allows to fully control the course of the procedure and the result;
• does not damage the tissue matrix;
• eliminates only the intended amount of body fat;
• reduces the number of hematomas (compared to classical liposuction).

Despite the high safety of VASER liposuction, the possibility of side effects cannot be completely discounted. Even with a professionally performed operation, the patient may experience the following consequences:
• the presence of puffiness, which makes it difficult to evaluate the result within a few months;
• pain in places of punctures;
• discomfort throughout the body;
• numbness of the skin, decreased sensitivity;
• hematomas.
All of these side effects are temporary and go away within a week. If the operation was performed by an incompetent doctor, then the risk of complications increases. In such a situation, the patient will need medical attention. Negative consequences can be:
1. seroma;
2. thrombosis;
3. sepsis;
4. embolism;
5. the appearance of various irregularities on the surface of the skin (in this case, additional procedures will be needed to smooth out);
6. causing harm to internal organs.
Indications, contraindications, and features of the rehabilitation period are the same as those for laser hair removal.

Suctioning large amounts of fat can cause skin to sag. Volumetric abdominoplasty is difficult for the patient to tolerate, it requires a long recovery period and does not always allow obtaining ideal body contours. The combination of body shaping techniques allows getting the best result in the most optimal way.
Both methods can be applied in a different sequence:

• At the stage of preparation for abdominoplasty, liposuction is performed if the patient has a significant excess of subcutaneous fat. Reducing the volume of fatty tissue allows increasing the mobility of the skin of the anterior abdominal wall, making it easier for the surgeon to move it and fixing it in a new position, reducing the tension of the skin and thereby facilitating the healing process.
• Liposuction after an abdominoplasty can be carried out in order to bring the final result to perfection: creating an accentuated thin waist, eliminating a significant difference in the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer on both sides of the surgical scar.
• Simultaneous abdominoplasty and liposuction are performed to remove fat deposits from the sides and the area above the buttocks in cases where a person has no indications for a circular abdominoplasty and can be limited to the classic or mini variant of a tummy tuck.

For 4 years of Experts Medical’s work with foreign clinics, we have gained some experience of cooperation, on the basis of which we have created TOP 3 medical centers and doctors.For liposuction in Turkey, we recommend plastic aesthetic surgeons Kemal Ugurlu and Ergin Er. These specialists use the most modern techniques and advanced equipment. The clinics they work provide a consistently high quality of service. Our patients are satisfied with the results of liposuction with these doctors. An important aspect for us is also the acceptable cost of services and the availability of doctors for patients at any time after the procedure.

The cost of liposuction in Istanbul starts from 2,160 USD per area.
