Liposuction operation, also called fat removal surgery, is the process of removing unwanted fat tissues from the body. The most common areas of fat removal are abdomen, hips, waist, thighs, knees, back and arms. As a result of the operation, the patient's body control improves and the patient has a more aesthetic appearance.
Liposuction operation aims to remove stubborn fat tissues that cannot be removed by sports. After liposuction, patients are advised to include healthy nutrition and exercise in their lives under the leadership of a specialist in order to maintain the result obtained for a long time.
The patient, who does not have any health problems that prevent liposuction operation, is ready for surgery after the measurements performed by the doctor and the drawings that will guide the surgery. In liposuction, which takes an average of 1-3 hours under general anaesthesia, firstly, incisions are made in the areas where fat removal will be performed. Then, excess fat tissue is removed from the body through cannulas.
At the end of the operation, the incisions are closed and the patient can be taken to the room to rest.The patient is hospitalised for 1 night after the operation and is checked by the doctor during this period. The next day, he/she can return to his/her home/hotel. After the operation, the patient is fitted with a corset and it is important to wear it for the period recommended by the doctor.
1- 5 DAYS
It is quite normal to experience pain, oedema and swelling in the first days after liposuction. By the end of the 5th day, most of these complaints will have decreased. It is very important for the patient to rest for the first five days, avoid movements that will tire the body and protect the operation areas from impacts. If drains are placed during the operation, these drains are removed by the doctor on the 2-3rd day after the operation and routine postoperative controls are performed.
DAY 5-14.
In this period when oedema and swelling are considerably reduced, the patient can return home at the end of the 7th-10th day if he/she lives abroad or outside the city. On the 10th-14th days, the patient can take small walks, provided that he/she does not tire himself/herself, and return to his/her daily life. 2. Abundant water consumption and balanced nutrition are very important for the healing process
