Laser Lipolysis

Liposuction surgery is the process of reducing subcutaneous fat tissue locally through small holes (3-5 mm) through thin pipes and with the help of some devices.

Fat cells in our body, in addition to being energy storage, also take part in the production of hormones in the body. The number of fat cells does not increase from adulthood, but existing cells grow and shrink in cases of obesity and weight loss, so fat cells that grow due to malnutrition and a sedentary lifestyle cause obesity.

The way people gain fat is structurally (according to gender and race). varies greatly. In women, fat accumulation mostly occurs in the hips, around the waist, below and above the belly, on the legs and neck. In men, it occurs around the belly and waist, in the breasts, on the neck and around the internal organs in the abdomen. For a beautiful body appearance, it is necessary to eat healthy and exercise regularly. However, regional body beautification can be achieved by sucking fat (liposuction) and preparing the absorbed fat and injecting it into pre-planned areas.

Before the liposuction surgery, planning is made by drawing the areas where the fat will be reduced. During the surgery, a small number of thin holes are opened in these areas and thin tubes to be used in the fat tissue reduction process are inserted through these holes and the fat tissue is broken down and released mechanically, with ultrasonic energy or laser energy. Then, the liberated tissues are removed from the body by vacuuming through pipes and the fat in the fatty area is reduced and slimming is achieved. The aim of liposuction is not to weaken the patient, but to reduce fat locally. Therefore, it is unrealistic to apply liposuction for weight loss. Although the average amount of fat to be removed is described in liters, the main purpose is to shape and gain aesthetic body lines.

During the laser lipolysis operation, thin metal rods that emit heat with laser energy at the end are moved around the planned areas for a certain period of time to melt and soften the fat. . Following this, fat is vacuumed from the same area using classical liposuction cannulas. In ultrasonic liposuction, The process of melting or damaging the tissue is carried out with ultrasound energy (sound waves), which is more selective towards fat tissue and produces heat. Classical cannulas can also be used to remove damaged fat.

It is possible to correct contour deformities and even add volume to certain areas (for example, breasts) by injecting the fat to be removed after the fat suction process into other areas (fat grafting, lipofilling). More than one session may be required.

Again, as in every surgical procedure, these risks increase if the patient has diabetes, any heart, lung or blood disease, or uses medications such as blood thinners or birth control pills. Smoking significantly impairs wound healing and negatively affects the results of any surgery. Smoking should be stopped 2-3 weeks before and 2-3 weeks after the liposuction operation.

One of the aesthetic complications that may be encountered in liposuction is asymmetrical and uneven healing of the fat-absorbed area. This situation is especially due to improper liposuction or inadequate use of corsets or bandages and may require a second revision session after 4-6 months.

Blood loss and body fluid-electrolyte due to excessive fat removal. imbalance may occur. Therefore, it is best to remove fat within safe limits (3-5 liters).

One of the serious complications that may occur is vein thrombosis, which means clot formation in the leg veins, which is very rare. Although the risk of thromboembolism, that is, the clot blocking the vessels, is quite dangerous, new liposuction methods, the application of bandages to the patient's legs during the operation, and new drugs that have been used in recent years have reduced these risks considerably. It can be variable. While it may take 45 minutes for a single and small area, it may take 2-4 hours if it is to be applied extensively throughout the body.

Fluid leakage may occur from the applied holes for 2-5 days after the surgery and edema develops in the applied areas, that is, the applied areas. is swelling. In addition, increasing bruising occurs in the first few days and as the days progress, Soon these bruises disappear completely. Patients should wear corsets or bandages that will put pressure on the treated areas for 3-4 weeks. It is possible for them to take a bath after 48-72 hours, and they should start light walks within 2-3 days to resolve the edema faster, but they should not do heavy sports for 4 weeks.

After the fat suction process, patients must maintain their weight because their fat tissue has been reduced. However, since the fat cells remaining in their bodies will grow in case of obesity, deterioration in body lines may occur. The results of the fat suction procedure are permanent if the patients maintain their weight.

Liposuction aesthetic prices vary due to many variables (technique and difficulty to be applied, anesthesia to be used, areas to be applied, hospital where the surgery will be performed, etc.) and therefore the most accurate For prices, please ask your doctor about the prices of liposuction and fat filling operations.
