What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is the process of removing fat using the vacuum method. It is generally applied to areas such as the abdomen, hips and hips, neck and arms. It is applied to areas where there is no weight loss and the fat does not decrease despite exercise. The procedure is carried out by vacuuming the fat under the skin with the help of tubes inserted through a few mm incisions in the skin. In this operation, fat cells are not completely destroyed, only the fat cells in the area are emptied and their volume is reduced. Liposuction is not a weight loss method. If no results can be obtained regarding the fat in the area despite using natural methods, this operation should be preferred. A maximum of 4-5 kg of fat loss can be achieved.
