Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure performed to remove stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss method; instead, it aims to reshape the body contours and achieve a slimmer, more proportional appearance. It can be applied to many areas including the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, back, and under the chin.
Individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have localized fat deposits are ideal candidates. Good skin elasticity, a healthy general condition, and realistic expectations contribute to optimal results. Women experiencing stubborn fat after pregnancy and men with chest fat (gynecomastia) may also benefit from liposuction.
Liposuction can be performed using various modern techniques:
Liposuction is usually performed under general anesthesia. Small incisions are made, and fat is suctioned out through thin cannulas. The procedure takes 1–4 hours depending on the number of areas treated. Multiple areas can be treated in a single session.
Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort may occur within the first few days. Wearing a compression garment helps reduce swelling and supports healing. Most patients return to daily activities within 3–7 days. Final results become visible within 2–3 months as the swelling subsides.
The incisions are very small (3–5 mm) and placed in natural skin creases. As a result, scars are minimal and become barely noticeable over time.
Fat cells removed during the procedure do not return; therefore, the results are long-lasting. However, gaining weight can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and balanced nutrition helps preserve the results.
Selecting an experienced plastic surgeon, sharing your medical history completely, and having realistic expectations are essential. Stopping smoking, pausing blood-thinning medications, and undergoing pre-operative tests help ensure a safe procedure.
