Liposuction is the basis of body shaping surgeries. It can be combined with other body shaping surgeries, but it is also frequently performed alone.
Liposuction can be applied to every part of the body. The basic approach here is to define the body lines. Local unwanted fat accumulations can be removed with liposuction. The most common areas where liposuction is applied are the abdomen, waist, back area, inner thighs, arms and chin. Liposuction can be applied to each area separately, or a combination of these areas can be applied if needed. There are technical details specific to each area when performing liposuction. It is essential to pay attention to these details.
Liposuction is a body shaping surgery. With liposuction, the body's lines can be highlighted. Regional excesses can be corrected, but if there is a lot of fat accumulation under the skin, it is not possible to remove this accumulation with liposuction. In addition, deep fat tissues cannot be treated with liposuction. Therefore, in order to be suitable for liposuction surgery, the body mass index must be within a certain range.
Liposuction is considered a systemic surgery when performed on any part of the body. The body's fluid electrolyte balance must be adjusted very well. Therefore, surgical experience is very important in liposuction surgery.
Liposuction is basically the process of removing subcutaneous fat tissue with negative pressure and cannula. However, liposuction should not be viewed only as fat removal. With liposuction, just as a woodcarver carves wood and shapes it, the surgeon shapes the body with a cannula. There is a small difference here. There is a limit to the amount of fat to be removed and the shaping with liposuction.
The duration and weight of the surgery vary depending on the area where liposuction will be applied and the amount of fat to be removed. If a limited liposuction will be performed on a single area, it takes 30 minutes, and if 360-degree liposuction will be performed on the entire body, it takes 3 hours.
