The number of fat cells in the adult human body is constant. After puberty, the number of fat cells does not increase, but the volume of fat cells increases. This results in weight gain. Dietary habits and lifestyle are the most important factors in people’s weight loss.

Proper diet and exercise and a regular lifestyle are essential to get rid of excess weight. However, even people who meet these conditions may have stubborn fat deposits that do not go away. Certain areas of the body such as the abdomen, waist, hips, outer and inner thighs, and knees are areas of fat accumulation that are resistant to diet and exercise. Excess fat in these areas is eliminated to some extent by diet and exercise, more exercise and diet results in the deterioration of the body’s general metabolism instead of thinning in these areas.

Liposuction; It is the name given to the fat burning process that can be applied to the whole body, especially the abdomen, hips, thighs, ankles, waist, and upper arms. Not only the burning of fats but also the tightening of that area while burning the fats is done at the same time. In this process, which has been applied for years, it has been possible to burn, absorb and tighten the fat in the region with the help of cannulas since 1977. Liposuction techniques have been combined with cosmetic procedures for years, and traceless liposuction techniques have emerged with the developing technology. In addition, thanks to devices such as slim lipo, it has become possible to instantly burn fat and tighten in that area.

Since liposuction is a surgical application, the surgeon’s opinion is the priority in every application. Before deciding to perform liposuction, the patient’s detailed medical history should be examined. In particular, cardiovascular and pulmonary history should be investigated in great detail. Apart from these, the medicines and allergies used by the patient should be checked, and the decision to continue the procedure should be made according to the results. Of course, physical examination is also very important and critical at this point. For liposuction to be applied to the patient’s abdomen, hernia control should be performed and the amount of fat in the abdomen should be well calculated. Again, if fat is to be taken from the breast area in men, it is checked whether this fat has internal and external characteristics. Likewise, the skin is expected to have sufficient flexibility, these controls are important to avoid shrinkage in that area after the fat is removed. In short, after the above controls are done, liposuction can be easily performed on the following people;

• Not pregnant or have just given birth,
• Not exceeding the upper age limit for liposuction,
• Without blood pressure and diabetes

During the developmental stage of the person, the increase in fat cells in the body provides an increase with the right rate. After the completion of the developmental phase, the number of developing fat cells remains constant, while an increase in volume is observed. This results in weight gain on the body index. Liposuction is a method of suctioning excess fat deposits under the skin through special cannulas using vacuum or specially prepared injectors. With this method, excess fat can be removed comfortably and safely. Nowadays, the classical liposuction method has been replaced by more comfortable techniques that require minimal surgery for the patient in fat removal operations. Now, laser liposuction, on the other hand, is very different from a vacuum, and because it is performed using advanced technology, it makes point shooting. The place to be liposuction is first drawn by the specialist doctor with the help of a special pen and the target is completely determined. After the place to be liposuction is determined, lasering is performed and liposuction fat removal surgery is started. Liposuction is the method of removing the fat collected in certain areas by using large-diameter cannulas. This method causes large gaps in the skin and the formation of top-up disorders. For this reason, in our hospitals; Laser Lipolysis (SlimLipo) method is applied instead of the classical liposuction method. Studies have shown that fat cells cannot function with laser energy and are dispersed. Meanwhile, it was determined that the laser energy affecting the lower skin increased the tissue quality by affecting the collagen and elastic fibers.

It should not be forgotten that having this application does not mean that you will not gain weight again. In order not to gain weight again, it is very important to give importance to lifestyle, diet, and exercise after the operation. If there is frequent weight gain and loss, the application will not be very successful.

If there are skin sagging in addition to regional excess fat, the existing sagging cannot be recovered with this method. Abdominal wall sagging seen in women who have given birth cannot be removed by liposuction. In addition, this application does not provide to get rid of cellulite.

After the operation, specially produced corsets should be used. These corsets are used for approximately 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the amount of adipose tissue taken and the characteristics of the person. Edema and bruises are expected to be seen and this situation disappears over time. One week after the procedure, the sutures are removed and after one to three weeks, if there is no problem in the general condition of the patient, he can return to work and daily life. You can return to normal exercises 3-4 weeks after the application.

The surgeon, who creates a sketch of the operation by making drawings on the area to be liposuction, can remove up to 5 liters of fat on average in a liposuction session. Fat can be removed from more than one area in a single liposuction session. Generally, it is suitable for a single-session fat extraction process. If fat extraction is to be done from the same area, an average of 40 days should be waited.

The human body constantly produces fat. For this reason, there is no rule that there will be no lipidosis after liposuction. What is important at this stage is your diet and nutrition program. In order not to gain weight again after the operation, it is important to follow the lifestyle, exercise, and diet rules after the application. Very frequent weight gain and loss situations may cause repetition of the application. Liposuction operation generally harms the effectiveness of fat cells taken from areas with high-fat content. Therefore, there is no intense lubrication after the operation. Since liposuction targets fat cells, not fats, its effect is permanent. As long as the person pays attention to the diet, the fat will not be repeated and the body contour will not be broken again.
