Liposuction in Turkey – Reshape Your Body

Considering liposuction in Turkey? Our expert surgeons in Istanbul specialise in removing stubborn fat deposits to enhance body contours and create a slimmer, more defined appearance. Whether targeting the abdomen, thighs, arms, or other areas, liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure for those struggling with fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas to sculpt a more defined shape. It is not a weight-loss solution but is ideal for patients who:

• Have stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
• Want to enhance body definition and proportions
• Are near their ideal body weight but need contouring improvements
• Have good skin elasticity to support smooth results

Turkey is a leading destination for liposuction surgery, offering world-class plastic surgeons, modern facilities, and significantly lower costs than in the UK and Australia.

Will the Fat Return After Liposuction?

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from treated areas. However, if a patient gains weight after surgery, the remaining fat cells can expand, potentially altering the results. Maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise can help ensure long-lasting outcomes.. However, it is important to note that while fat cells are permanently removed, weight gain after the procedure can cause the remaining fat cells to expand, potentially altering results. Maintaining a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle can help ensure long-lasting outcomes.

Combining Liposuction with a Tummy Tuck for Enhanced Results

Liposuction is frequently combined with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to achieve a flatter, more contoured abdomen. While liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits, a tummy tuck tightens loose skin and muscles, making this combination ideal for individuals who have lost significant weight or experienced changes post-pregnancy. Patients opting for a combined procedure can benefit from a more sculpted midsection and improved body proportions in a single recovery period.

Areas Liposuction Can Treat

Liposuction is a highly versatile procedure that can address multiple areas of stubborn fat. Liposuction can be performed on various areas of the body, including:

• Abdomen & Waist – Reduces excess fat for a flatter stomach
• Thighs & Hips – Sculpts legs and eliminates excess fat from the outer or inner thighs
• Arms & Back – Removes stubborn fat for a more toned upper body
• Chin & Neck – Defines the jawline and removes excess fat under the chi

The Liposuction Procedure – What to Expect

Step 1: Personalised Consultation

• Your surgeon will assess fat distribution and skin elasticity.
• A tailored surgical plan will be created based on your target areas.
• Your surgeon will explain realistic expectations and potential outcomes.

Step 2: The Surgery

• Liposuction is performed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, depending on the treatment areas.
• A small incision is made, and a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to break up and remove fat.
• The procedure typically lasts 1–3 hours, depending on the number of areas treated.
• Patients stay 2 nights in the hospital for monitoring before transferring to a hotel for 7–8 nights.

Step 3: Recovery & Post-Surgery Care

Following liposuction in Turkey, you will spend 2 nights in the hospital for monitoring before returning to your hotel for 7–8 nights to recover.

First Week of Recovery

• Days 1–2: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort; hospital monitoring.
• Days 3–4: Swelling begins to reduce, and movement becomes easier.
• Days 5–6: Patients feel more mobile but should continue wearing compression garments.
• Days 7–8: Final check-up, healing assessment, and Fit-to-Fly letter provided.

• Temporary Numbness – Some patients experience mild numbness in the treated areas.
• Changes in Skin Sensation – Sensitivity may increase or decrease post-surgery.
• Asymmetry – Slight variations in contour may occur.
• Scarring – Small scars fade over time but may remain visible.
• Infection or Bleeding – Uncommon but manageable with proper aftercare.

Patients must be fully aware of these risks and make an informed decision before proceeding.
