Am I suitable for Liposuction?
While the best decision can be made by your plastic surgeon based on your pictures and medical background, Liposuction is not a weight loss or skin removal procedure. Around 6 litres of fat can be safely removed in one session, and it should be used for body contouring purposes only. You can contact our team to discuss whether Liposuction is the right procedure for you.
Liposuction surgery can be combined with.
Breast surgeries
Rhinoplasty

Advantages of Modern Liposuction
No drains, no stitches. Your surgeon will not be using any drains for the liposuction scars. This helps patients to get rid of the liposuction liquid faster and the scars won’t be visible after recovery.
Your online consultation will inform you about everything you need to know before you even book your package. Your surgeon will share the details such as how much fat can be removed or can be re-injected for a certain result.
The packages we offer include hotel accommodation, transfers, translator etc. You’ll be well taken care of during your stay in Izmir, Turkey. We also have a private nurse planned to visit you after your discharge from the hospital.
You can achieve your dream body by booking your surgery with affordable prices while still receiving a VIP service. Your surgery will take place in a private hospital in Izmir, Turkey.
You’ll be informed about the details of your surgery plan in your pre-op consultation. Your surgeon will be taking his time to listen to your concerns and explain how they can be solved in the surgery.
Aftercare
You’ll be asked to wear a compression garment and some other materials such as surgical foams and boards when indicated after your surgery. This period is usually around 6 weeks, 4 weeks for 24 hours and 2 weeks for only daytime. The compression garment is the most important element for your recovery period to make sure you achieve the best result possible.
Lymphatic massages are usually not a must after this surgery, but they speed up the process. They are always recommended 1 week after your surgery as they can be intense. This is the reason why we do not offer them while our patients are still in Izmir.
Hydrating is also crucial to get rid of the excess fluid that is stuck in your body due to Liposuction. Drinking 3 litres of water in a day is recommended.
Light exercises such as jogging can be started in two weeks after the surgery. Also, keeping the torso as straight as possible during this period is advised to prevent creasing. Which is why core workouts should be avoided for 6 weeks.
Moisturizers should be used to keep the skin hydrated and this will help the skin shrink faster.
Sunbathing and solarium are not recommended for 6 weeks.
