What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery intended to remove stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise and achieve the patient’s ideal body shape.

Results are met by removing excess fat from unwanted areas, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and neck, with the use of a high-tech suction-device called a cannula.

Should You Undergo Liposuction?

Liposuction is meant to improve body contour and enhance the overall appearance of the body. However, it is important to note that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is a body sculpting operation.

If you meet all medical criteria and are willing to commit to healthy habits after surgery, liposuction in Turkey can have a great impact in your quality of life.

Most Common Body Areas for Fat Removal

Lipid extraction can be performed anywhere in the body where fat accumulation takes place. 

 
Here are the most common body areas for liposuction in Turkey:
Icon

Abdomen Liposuction

The abdomen is one of the areas with the largest fat accumulation tendencies in the body, making it very hard to eliminate through intense exercise and even dieting. Abdominal fat is generally absorbed through a vaser lipo or a standard procedure. Also see Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Treatment.

Patients over a certain age can experience fat accumulation on the neck. To remove dewlaps, surgeons generally proceed with laser burning and extraction. Also see Neck Lift in Turkey.

Arm liposuction

The upper arms, next to the shoulders, have a high tendency of fat accumulation. Hence why arm fat extraction is one of the most common procedures.

Face Liposuction

Facial fat extraction is generally performed on the cheek area, also known as a bichectomy. Due to its advantages in skin tightening, laser extraction is the preferred facial fat removal technique.

Is Turkey good for Liposuction?

 

Turkey has a thriving medical tourism industry, with many high-quality medical facilities. However, it is important to carefully verify the accreditations and certificates of medical providers, surgeons and clinics.

The growing popularity of Turkey as a medical tourism destination has witnessed the proliferation of dubious organizations offering low-cost surgeries outside the law, with no accreditations whatsoever, relying on the online projection an image of legality on social media to attract trusting customers.

We strongly advise you to carry out a thorough investigation of the medical provider of your choice. Pay special attention to compliance with ISO standards and medical certifications, particularly coming from the Turkish Ministry of Health, the trusted local authority.

Patients should not be contempt with an online banner, as they may be phony. Instead, we strongly advise you contact the certifier organization to ask for the company’s credentials.
