Effective slimming with liposuction There are many details that need to be addressed when it comes to the subject. In this context, Quartz Clinic Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Leyla Arvas answered for you.
What is liposuction?
The answer to the question of what is liposuction is that it is a regional slimming and body shaping method. Despite the long-term and regular exercise and nutrition program, it ensures that the regional fat accumulations that cannot be removed from the body are removed from the body. Fat cells in the body begin to expand in volume over time due to irregular nutrition, hormonal disorders, obesity, pregnancy and similar reasons. Then, fat accumulations occur inside these volumetric enlarged fat cells. These accumulations also cause a disproportionate appearance of lubrication on the body of the person, and the psychology of the person deteriorates over time. In such regional fat accumulations, the method in which the fats are broken down and absorbed in the body or removed from the body by vacuum method is called liposuction.
What is liposuction not?
Liposuction The answer to the question of what it is not is that it is not a weight loss method. While the fat removed from the body by the liposuction method can be up to 3-4 kilos, this does not indicate that the person has lost weight at the same rate. Therefore, people who want to get rid of their locally accumulated fat with the liposuction method should first get rid of their excess weight and prefer liposuction for the remaining resistant fat accumulations. It is an illusion to think that the same amount of weight is lost since the regional fat accumulations are removed from the body after the application and the person's body proportion improves.
For which parts of the body is liposuction applied?
The question of which parts of the body liposuction is applied for is one of the questions that people who have problems with lubrication in various parts of the body are curious about the answer. Liposuction surgeries can be easily performed on the neck, under the chin, breast, waist, hip, belly, inner leg, hip and knee areas where fat accumulates heavily, and satisfactory results can be obtained. In addition to these, liposuction can also be applied for treatment purposes after lymphedema, gynecomastia, lipoma removal and obesity. In lymphedema patients, it provides the removal of the edematous area that causes discomfort to the person, while it provides the removal of gynecomastia, that is, the fat accumulated in the breast area, which affects the social life of the person in breast size in men. Likewise, while providing convenience in the removal of lipomas, which are benign fat tumors, it also provides a solution for regional fat accumulations that cause anomalies in the bodies of obesity patients who have completed the weight loss process.
How is liposuction applied?
How liposuction is applied varies according to which liposuction method is applied. In classical liposuction applications, a liquid is injected into the fat cells in the body to make them swell, and then these fat cells are removed from the body by means of a vacuum. In Vaser, also known as ultrasonicliposuction applications, ultrasonic waves are sent to the fat cells that accumulate under the skin and are broken down, and then they are absorbed and removed from the body with the help of thin pipes. In laser liposuction applications, the fat cells accumulated under the skin are brought into liquid form with the help of a laser and then they are removed from the body by being absorbed by thin cannulas. Finally, in lipomatic liposuction applications, the fat accumulated under the skin is broken down by vibrating cannulas and simultaneously absorbed and removed from the body through cannulas.
How many body thinning is seen after liposuction?
The size of the person after the liposuction application is completely personal. It varies considerably according to the body structure, accumulated fat rate and metabolism of the person undergoing liposuction. The maximum amount of fat that can be removed from the patient's body in liposuction is 4-5 liters. Assuming that fat is removed according to this amount, depending on the body proportion of the person, an average of 1-3 sizes of thinning is expected after liposuction. In fact, sometimes, for example, if there is an accumulation of fat in the belly area and other parts of the body appear normal, even though the calculated thinning is between 1-3 sizes, since there is no longer a noticeable fat area in the proportion of the body, the visible thinning can be seen much more.
When will the result of liposuction be seen?
We can say the following to our patients who wonder when the result of liposuction will be seen; As in all surgical operations, edema may occur in the application area after liposuction. For this reason, there may not be a noticeable thinning in the body immediately after the liposuction method. However, 2-3 months after the liposuction surgery, all the edema in the area where the application is made goes away and the body regains its final shape. Generally, after liposuction surgeries, the specialist doctor who performs the surgery asks the patient to wear a corset for the period he will specify. In this way, maximum efficiency is obtained from the liposuction application. At the end of the 3rd month following the operation, simultaneously with the body's final shape, the person pays attention to the exercise and nutrition program and the more he can maintain his weight, the more permanent the effects of liposuction will be. Otherwise, if the person gains weight again, the application loses its effect.
Is the regional thinning after liposuction permanent?
The permanence of the regional thinning provided after the liposuction procedure varies completely depending on how the person will live. The number of fat cells in the body is fixed and does not multiply. During the liposuction application, the cells in which the fat accumulation is intense by expanding in volume are broken down and removed from the body; however, normal fat cells continue to remain in the person's body. There is a minimum number of fat cells that should be in the body in order to lead a healthy life, and this number is maintained during the application. With the passage of time after liposuction, if the patient does not pay attention to his lifestyle, does not eat regularly and does not do sports, the remaining fat cells in the body begin to expand in volume. Subsequently, with the formation of fat accumulation in these cells, regional lubrication appears again in the body of the person. This means that the previous liposuction application loses its effectiveness completely.
How much weight should a person weigh before liposuction surgery?
The person who wants to have liposuction surgery should have a body mass index of 30 and below. In order to find the body mass index, the patient's weight should be divided by the square of the height and the result should be 30 at most. Otherwise, the person should first lose weight and then apply liposuction for the fat that remains in the body and accumulates locally.
Is liposuction surgery also a solution for cellulite?
The purpose of liposuction surgery is not for the patient to lose weight, nor is it a solution for cellulite, cracks, sagging and deformations related to skin elasticity and skin texture. Although there is a significant improvement in the body shape and proportion of the person with the removal of the locally accumulated fat from the body, it makes them feel better if the appearance of the body, especially for those who are bothered by cellulite, stretch marks and similar problems, have procedures that offer specific solutions for these problems.
What kind of process awaits the patient after liposuction?
The question of what kind of process the patient expects after liposuction is one of the most frequently asked questions by people who are afraid of the operation to feel safe. First of all, it is quite normal for edema to occur in the application area after liposuction, as it is after every surgical operation. This edema will decrease as the application area heals and the patient listens to the doctor's recommendations to wear a corset, stay away from heat, and so on. Although it is very rare, the body can sometimes react after the application in people whose body is very sensitive. In this case, a short-term antibiotic use may be required against any risk of infection in line with the doctor's recommendation. Again, after the liposuction application, there may be a feeling of slight bruising and numbness. However, this is a temporary feeling. After the liposuction surgery, after a period of 6-8 weeks, all of them return to normal.
What are the risks of liposuction application?
We can list the risks for our patients who are wondering what the risks of liposuction are as follows:
- Edema, bruising, numbness and regional loss of sensation after liposuction are temporary and mild side effects. Although these side effects are more common in people with sensitive skin tissue, they can be seen in everyone who is treated. However, it all passes with the healing process.
- Fine-tipped cannulas that allow the subcutaneous fat cells to be broken down and removed from the body during the liposuction application may leave a temporary damage to the subcutaneous tissue, and this damage may be reflected on the skin surface as a mottled appearance. However, as the subcutaneous tissues heal over time, the appearance of the skin surface returns to its original state.
- The thin ends of the cannulas used during liposuction can sometimes cause temporary scarring in the application areas; However, thanks to the wound healing ointments recommended by the doctor, these wounds are healed in a short time.
- If there is an irritating fluid accumulation in the patient's body after the procedure and this fluid accumulation does not dissipate within the time specified by the doctor, it can be easily drained by needle.
- A temporary darkening of the skin color may be observed, especially in areas with excess fat tissue or in very sensitive individuals, due to bruising in the area where the application is made; however, as the damage in the tissues is repaired during the healing process, the skin color returns to its original state.
- If liposuction is performed by specialist doctors, the possibility of infection is very rare. Sometimes, however, if the doctor considers the possibility of an infection, even a small one, he may prescribe antibiotics for a short time to protect the patient's health. Thus, it completely eliminates the possibility of infection.
- As in every surgical operation, it is very important that liposuction applications are performed by a specialist. Otherwise, due to irregular fat intake, contour irregularities and a wavy appearance may occur in the body. This is one of the most feared risks after liposuction surgeries and almost the only reason is the wrong doctor selection. For this reason, we recommend that patients scrutinize their doctor's selection and make sure that this application will be made by the specialist doctor in sterile operating room conditions.
- If there is more than one area where the patient's appearance is uncomfortable and other combined procedures will be performed in addition to liposuction, it is very important to be extra careful as other applications may have risks, and the application should be performed by a doctor who is especially specialized in combined aesthetic surgery.
