Fat Removal (Liposuction) | Fat Injection (Lipofilling)

Fat removal is the process of removing fat under the skin with the help of cannulas with holes in the ends and connected to a vacuum system, introduced through incisions of a few millimeters in the body. It is very important to know that this procedure is not a method to lose weight. Because the fats that are taken with liposuction are the ones that cannot be given despite diet and sports. Before performing liposuction, we want you to have followed a proper diet and sports program, and at least gotten rid of excess weight. In other words, our primary goal is to eliminate regional lubrication and correct your body contour, not weight loss. Of course, your body weight will decrease after the procedure, but this is the result of the surgery, not the purpose.

Liposuction can be applied to many parts of the body, including the abdomen, hips, waist, thighs, back, arms, breasts, and jowls. It can take from 1 to 4 hours depending on the size of the operation area. The fat taken can also contribute to body shaping by injecting it into other parts of the body (hip, leg, cheek, forehead, etc.) as needed. Adipose tissue is known to be rich in stem cells. Therefore, fat injection not only increases the volume of the area where it is applied, but also increases the regeneration capacity. Not all the fat that we inject into the body stays in the application area. Although it varies by area applied, about half melts away and is absorbed by the body. The more active the applied area, the greater the amount of fusion. You will need to wear corsets designed to be invisible under clothing for at least 4 weeks after surgery. Your swelling will begin to subside at the end of the first week, but the main results will become apparent after 2-3 months. Severe pain is not expected after surgery. You can return to work within 7 to 10 days, depending on the job.

Weight control is very important after surgery. If you gain weight, your previous liposuction areas will also gain weight. In fact, since the number of fat cells will be less than in other parts of the body, you may face disproportionate weight gain. For this reason, you must be careful not to gain or lose excess weight after surgery.
