Liposuction is to remove regional excess fat deposits by vacuuming. It is an effective method that creates impressive results in regional slimming. Liposuction is not a method of weight loss. Fat reduction surgeries might cause undesirable situations in terms of health when applied for losing weight.
Liposuction is a method which is used for slimming the skin thickness or shaping local fattening areas. It does not directly provide weight loss or slimming but needs to be applied for shaping the body. It can generally be applied to many parts of the body such as abdomen, back, legs, arms and facial area.
In liposuction surgery, the resistant fattening area is inflated with a special liquid injection. Then, several incisions are made on and closed to this area in a few mm length. It is continued to suck the fats by vacuum until the desired body contour and a smooth skin surface are achieved. In recent years, laser or vaser which benefits from ultrasound energy has been also used other than classical methods. In this method, excess fat tissues are dissolved and then vacuumed in a similar way.
After liposuction, fluids accumulate in the body instead of fat deposits which are removed under the skin from the body. By wearing tight protective corsets in order to prevent oedema, this process can be overcome quickly with a minimum oedema.
This procedure varies from person to person. It changes depending on the weight and application area. An average of 5-6 litres of fat is removed. While 5 litres can be removed from a person weighing 50 kg, it is possible to easily remove 6-7 litres from a person weighing 100 kg. The amount of fat to be extracted is unique for everyone. Exaggerating the liposuction process and using it as a weight loss method will cause health problems in the person. Therefore, the method should be used not for weight loss purposes but for body shaping.
Laser liposuction is an effective method in order to dissolve and remove the fat deposits with laser waves which have been developed in recent years and it is prominent especially with skin tightening effect. It can be applied to people with little fattening and sagging such as in arm and leg areas.
Vaser liposuction method is a new technology that breaks down fat cells with ultrasonic sound waves, usually used for body shaping in patients with weight problems in the middle of their bodies. It is also used to achieve muscular appearance called six-pack in men and two-pack in women. Effective results can be obtained in appropriate patients.
It varies according to the application area and duration of anaesthesia.
