Liposuction in Istanbul

Not in any way that matters. The change on the scale after liposuction is small, and it is not the point of the operation.

What changes is shape. Fat is removed from a specific area so that the outline of that area is different, which is a separate goal from weighing less. If losing weight is the aim, that work comes first and liposuction comes afterwards, if it is still needed.

There is no single figure, and any clinic quoting one before examining you is quoting a sales number rather than a surgical one.

The volume that is safe depends on your size, your health, how many areas are being treated and whether anything else is being done at the same time. Larger removals shift the operation into a setting with closer monitoring, which is a decision made on medical grounds.

The fat cells removed from the treated area do not return. The cells left behind, and those everywhere else, still respond to weight gain by getting larger.

So the result holds at a stable weight and changes if your weight climbs, sometimes distributing differently than it used to, because the treated area now has fewer cells to fill. This is the main reason the operation is offered to people whose weight has settled.

No. Skin retracts on its own where elasticity remains, and where it does not, removing the fat underneath tends to make looseness more obvious.

After pregnancy the abdominal skin has usually been stretched and the muscles beneath it often separated. Those are addressed by a tummy tuck or within a mommy makeover, with liposuction used alongside them to refine the contour.

Yes, and here it usually is. Combining is what makes a post-pregnancy plan work, because fat, skin and muscle rarely need attention in isolation.

Combining lengthens the operation and the recovery, so it is planned around your health rather than around convenience. Where the combined case would be too long to be safe, it is staged instead.

General anaesthesia for most cases, and sedation with local anaesthesia for small single areas such as under the chin.

Which one applies to you is decided with the anaesthetist after your pre-operative assessment, taking the number of areas and your medical history into account.

Four to eight weeks, depending on the area and how you are healing. It goes on in theatre and stays on nearly all the time in the first weeks.

It is not optional comfort wear. Consistent compression is one of the few things that visibly changes how evenly the area settles, and it is the instruction people most often relax too early.

Usually after the review at around a week, once the surgeon has seen how you are healing. It is a clinical decision rather than a fixed rule.

Long flights soon after surgery carry a clot risk, so the timing takes the flight length into account, along with moving regularly and staying hydrated on the day you travel.

The entry points are a few millimetres across and are placed in creases and shadows where possible. They stay pink for some months and then fade considerably.

Scars never disappear entirely, and how yours mature depends partly on your skin. In a combined operation the longer incision belongs to the lift rather than to the liposuction.

Three to six months for most people. You will see a change much earlier, but you will be looking at a shape that still holds swelling.

Revision, if it is ever needed, is not considered until the tissue has fully settled, because operating on swollen tissue produces an unreliable answer.
