    Cosmetic surgical procedures such as Liposuction, Abdominoplasty, etc., have become increasingly accessible in recent years.

    What Is Liposuction?

    The fat cells in the human body are known as “Lipocytes”. Lipocytes accumulate in different parts due to poor diet, weight gain, sedentary lifestyle, etc. In order to enhance body contour, liposuction is a cosmetic operation that eliminates these fat cells from particular body parts.  

    Liposuction is a localized procedure and does not remove fat deposits from all over the body. Hence it can not be classified as a weight loss procedure. There are various types of liposuction, such as Tumescent liposuction, Vaser liposuction, Laser-assisted liposuction, Traditional liposuction, etc. 

    How Does Weight Loss Occur In Liposuction?

    As the name suggests, liposuction is the removal of fat accumulated in an area of the body. This raises the question of how fat removal relates to weight loss. About five liters of fat can be safely removed in a single liposuction procedure. This is not an absolute cut-off point though. A person’s overall health, BMI, and the specific area under treatment are some of the factors that influence the amount of fat removal. 

    Typically, a liter of body fat is around 2 – 2.2 lbs. This doesn’t mean that the patient is losing this much weight, it simply means that 2.2 lbs of fat/blood/fluid is being removed. By eliminating extra fat from a specific location, liposuction aims to improve the body’s form and features. If suitable results are achieved by only removing one pound of fat then there is no need to remove more.

    What Are The Factors For Fat Removal During Liposuction?

    Numerous factors influence how much fat is removed during a single liposuction procedure. These includes: 

    Fat Distribution

    The way the body stores fat is specific to each individual and largely influenced by genetics. For instance, some people tend to store more fat in the thighs, abdomen, or hips. These specific areas have a higher potential for the removal of fat deposits compared to areas like the back. Gender also influences where fat is stored in the body. Women, for example, store more fat in the lower body while men are prone to fat deposition in the abdominal area.

    Area of Removal

    The specific area for liposuction also determines the amount of fat that may be safely removed. Body parts with larger surface areas like thighs or the abdomen store more fat and, therefore, are candidates for more fat removal.

    Aesthetic Outcome

    Liposuction is not a way to lose weight or an obesity treatment. It is essentially a procedure to contour the body into a desired shape. For instance, people with thigh fat may consider liposuction as a way to improve the aesthetics in this area. It is also unnecessary to remove more fat when a smaller amount will deliver a better aesthetic outcome.

    Weight Vs Volume

    Liposuction removes fat from a localized area. Fat not only weighs less than muscle, it is also not as dense. Removing several liters of fat may not translate to much weight loss. That is why the amount of fat removal during a liposuction session has nothing to do with post-procedure weight loss.

    What Are The Safety Guidelines For Liposuction?

    The safety guidelines for a liposuction procedure are as follows:

    • Discuss the procedure in detail with an experienced plastic surgeon beforehand
    • Look at before and after pictures of liposuction patients to get a better idea of the results
    • Do not consider having liposuction as a weight loss solution
    • Have realistic expectations of the outcome
    • Take care of your health and nutritional status
    • Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption
       

    Having liposuction in Turkey is a safe and reliable choice due to the easy availability of trained and experienced surgeons and well-equipped surgical facilities.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Does liposuction improve skin texture and tightness?

    Liposuction does not impact skin texture or elasticity. It removes excess fat deposits to improve body shape. 

    2. Is liposuction good for visceral fat?

    Visceral fat is present around the viscera (organs), deep into the body. Liposuction does not remove visceral fat. 

    3. Are the results of liposuction permanent?

    Fat deposits that are removed during liposuction are removed permanently. However, in case of post-surgical weight gain, the remaining fat cells in the body may expand. 

    4. What is the age limit for liposuction?

    There is no official age range for liposuction, though the results may not be optimal in older adults with loss of skin elasticity and sagging muscles.
