If you wish to eliminate localized fat deposits and achieve more aesthetic body contours through liposuction, also known as vacuum fat removal, you should first consult an aesthetic surgeon whose experience and skill you can trust.
It is crucial to clearly communicate your expectations to your aesthetic surgeon, remembering that the promised outcome is an improvement, not a perfect appearance. After liposuction, your appearance may improve, making it easier to refresh your self-confidence; however, maintaining the results largely depends on you…
Liposuction does not offer a solution for obesity problems and is not an alternative to weight loss achieved through exercise and dietary changes. The element that enables highly successful body reshaping with this technique is the removal of approximately half of the fat cells and fat receptors along with the fat, thereby preventing fat from being stored in the treated area as before. After evaluating all regional fat accumulation areas, body contouring plans should be made, and the liposuction procedure should be applied to all necessary areas within this planning. Otherwise, if fat is removed from only a single area, excessive fat accumulation will occur in the remaining areas over time.
Conventional Liposuction
The journey of liposuction, which began in 1983 with the use of the “Wet” technique, became widespread in subsequent years with the development of many different techniques. In the wet technique, needles were inserted into the body, and special serums were administered to dissolve the fat internally, followed by the aspiration of the dissolved fat. By the mid-1990s, the super-wet liposuction technique began to be applied, which allowed for more serum administration and thus greater fat aspiration. This technique is now abandoned by many aesthetic surgeons due to the serious dangers it posed to patients who received nearly 10 liters of serum, including risks such as cardiac and hepatic overload.
Ultrasonic Liposuction
In liposuction applications, different principled methods have been used, such as dissolving and aspirating fat internally, and direct fat aspiration without dissolution. With the experimentation of various modifications, it became clear that more effective devices needed to be designed. In ultrasonic liposuction, after entering with a cannula, fat is melted by ultrasonic waves, and the liquefied fat is aspirated. This liposuction device, developed after approximately ten years of research, was found to be insufficient over the years. With new generation devices developed and made more effective towards the 2000s, fat can be melted more efficiently, the generated heat can be controlled more easily, and thus sagging is minimized. With this technique, named Ultra Shaping, fat accumulations that previously had a low chance of success can now be treated.
Vaser Liposuction
This is the third-generation device in the history of liposuction, intervening with fat tissue much more selectively. With Vaser liposuction devices, which operate on the principle of ultrasonic liposuction, fat tissue is completely broken down into a milk-like consistency. Since it focuses only on fat tissue, significantly less bruising and pain occur. These devices create a tightening effect in the application area, ensuring better skin retraction and firmness.Although the duration of Vaser liposuction procedures is reduced by half, it can still extend up to 5 hours depending on the amount of fat to be removed and the application areas. Nevertheless, it can be said that fat removal with this technique generally takes a few hours. The reason for this wide range in application time is that some patients have 500 cc of fat removed, while others have 8000 cc.With Vaser liposuction, it is possible to get rid of unwanted fat in almost any area, such as the arms, legs, hips, abdomen, neck, and back. Thanks to the use of very thin cannulas, delicate areas like the neck or arms can also be treated. This technique has become a favorite among internationally renowned plastic surgeons who perform liposuction.After the procedure, the patient can return to work from the 4th day onwards. It is recommended to continue physical therapy intermittently for 15 to 45 days.
Laser Liposuction (Smart Liposuction)
Liposuction by melting body fat with lasers, a concept considered and extensively researched since the 80s, has still not reached the desired point despite all this time. Despite all the studies, it is difficult to say that internationally renowned aesthetic surgeons specializing in liposuction have very positive comments regarding laser liposuction. The biggest problem with this technique, which has a limited application area, is that the device cannot be used at desired high energy levels due to the risk of tissue burns caused by the laser.
Recovery Process
First Week: Swelling reaches its maximum level and begins to subside, stitches are removed, and light work can be resumed.
After a Few Weeks: Bruises begin to fade and disappear, areas of numbness and insensitivity gradually return to normal, you can resume most of your normal activities, and swelling completely subsides.
For Good, Smooth, and Fast Recovery After Liposuction
- In the early post-operative period, you should consume at least 2 liters of fluids daily, such as water, tea, soup, or fruit juice.
- Do not neglect to schedule your follow-up appointments for the 1st week, 3rd, and 6th months.
- Schedule an appointment with a physiotherapist starting from the 5th day.
- In addition to the treatment, physical therapy will also be recommended. Performing these exercises for twenty minutes a day will be beneficial. These movements are actually exercises you should do throughout your life, but you should especially try to do them regularly for the first six months after liposuction. If you do not perform the exercises, undulations may occur in your skin.
- LPG Endermologie: The use of devices with this new technology in liposuction areas ensures very rapid recovery and quick reduction of edema. It also helps soften irregularities and keep the skin firm.
- Slim Up: It tightens the skin by working the muscles and accelerates healing. It also contributes to faster reduction of swelling and healthy slimming of the body.
- Vella Smooth: Contributes to better skin retraction and the disappearance of superficial cellulite.
