This method, also called laser lipolysis (breakdown of fat tissue cells with the help of laser), is essentially equivalent to its definition abroad; Laser assisted liposuction, that is, laser
assisted fat tissue cells are broken down and removed from the body.
How is this method applied?
In areas of unwanted fat in the body, 1-2 mm. After moving the laser head at the ends of the thin
cannulas (tubes) that are advanced into the fat tissue through the incisions, the dead fat tissue is pulled out of the body through 3-4 mm cannulas from the same entry points.
By what mechanisms does laser-assisted fat pulling work?
Laser has 3 basic effects in this process. The first effect, which we call the photomechanical effect, is the breakdown of the membranes of the fat cells that the tip of the cannula comes into contact with. The second effect is the photothermal effect, which causes clotting in the thin blood vessels in the surrounding tissue and reduces the possibility of bruising after surgery. The final effect is the photostimulation effect, which increases the production of connective tissue (collagen) in the skin layers and thus gives the skin a tighter and younger appearance.
The membrane of the fat cells is broken down using laser light and these broken cells are broken down.
is pulled out of the body with the help of vacuum.
What are the advantages of this method over the classical methods we know before?
To reduce the fat tissue in the areas of the body where fat tissue accumulates and we complain about
It is the most up-to-date method among the procedures performed and is often more effective than other applications. Its superiority over non-laser-assisted liposuction; In patients with less flexible skin, in older
age patients, skin sagging after the classical procedure It is safer in patients and regions where the risk of infection is higher. This is because it has the potential to increase the connective tissue called collagen in the skin, thus making the skin look tighter and younger.
In addition, the procedure is completed in a shorter time, the bandaging time is shorter, and the patient is less prone to the procedure
After the procedure, the patient returns to his/her daily life more quickly.
Which body parts can this method be applied to?
Areas that are likely to sag after the classical liposuction procedure, such as the abdomen, arms, inner thighs and neck, are especially important.
Should laser-assisted liposuction operation be performed under general anesthesia (put to sleep)?
If it will be applied to more than one body area; It is appropriate to perform it under general anesthesia or sedation (semi-fainting state). However, if it will be done in sessions to a single area or multiple body parts
, it can be done with local anesthesia (numbing only that area). The advantage of this; It means that the person can spend 1-2 hours as if he were coming to his weekly
exercise, walk in the same way and return to his daily life.
How is the post-procedure period?
Specific to the area applied after the procedure. corsets are put on immediately. After 2 days, the corset can be removed and a shower
can be taken. After a shower, the corset is worn immediately. It is recommended to wear the corset day and night for 2-3 weeks, and only at night for the next 1-2 weeks.
Will there be edema (fluid accumulation) in the body area where the procedure is performed?
Any kind Edema occurs as after surgery. The edema begins to resolve in the 1st week after the procedure and
approximately in the 4th-5th week. 90% of the edema is eliminated by the body in a week.
