Surgical methods are good options to remove the excess fat tissues and give the body a better shape. For people who do not have obesity but have excess fat that cannot be eliminated by regional slimming methods, liposuction can be a solution. Liposuction, which is fat removal, is one of the most common aesthetic operations nowadays. This application is suitable for areas such as hips, hips, abdomen, waist, and knees, where stubborn fats and regional excesses are present.

Liposuction is generally in the form of vacuuming and removing the fat tissues, through 1–2 mm incisions using thin and long cannulas.

As with any surgical operation, a specialist doctor is necessary for this procedure. Liposuction application is not a slimming method; it is only a method that provides regional thinning and smoother body lines. If you have a weight problem other than local fat, it will be more appropriate to get rid of your excess weight by following a healthy diet and sports program. Then, you can use this method for excess fats that do not go away even with the diet.

Liposuction is a method that can be suitable for anyone who does not have a systemic health problem. However, before applying this procedure to people, risks tests should be made. Although age does not constitute an obstacle to this application, it cannot be applied to some elderly patients due to age-related loss of elasticity.

Process of Liposuction

The process of liposuction includes these factors below. Except for rare cases, the procedure is generally similar for everybody.

• Anaesthesia—local or general anaesthesia is possible
• Preoperative preparation—lymph drainage massage, or entomology
• Place the surgery be done—in an operating room
• Duration of operation—depending on the amount, between half an hour and 6 hours.

Most of the stiffness and swelling that occurs after the operation decreases in the second month. But getting the full result will be within six to nine months; this is according to the postoperative care as well.

After Liposuction

You do not have to stay for long in the facility after the operation. However, you should use specific clothing for about four to eight weeks, depending on the amount of excess tissue taken. Possible oedema and bruises situations disappear in a short time. Stitches are removed one week after the procedure. After removal, you may return to your work and daily life if there is no problem in the general condition. You can continue your regular exercises three to four weeks after the application.

Liposuction is a technique that takes only fat. Therefore, it has little effect on the skin surface. When the tension created by the fat decreases, the skin needs to be reshaped. Do not rush to see the results after surgery. With the first swellings, you can be fatter in a few weeks. However, at the end of the first month, you will see that you have thinned and lost significant weight.
