Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses suction techniques to remove fat from specific areas of the body such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck. Liposuction also shapes (contours) these areas. Other names for liposuction are lipoplasty and body contouring.
Liposuction is not generally considered a popular method of weight loss or an alternative to weight loss. If you are overweight, you may lose more weight through diet and exercise, or bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass surgery, than through liposuction. If you have excess body fat in certain areas and an otherwise stable weight, you may be a candidate for liposuction.
Liposuction is used to remove fat from areas of the body that haven’t responded to diet and exercise, such as the:
- Abdomen
- Upper arms
- Buttocks
- Calves and ankles
- Chest and back
- Hips and thighs
- Chin and neck
In addition, liposuction can sometimes be used for breast reduction or treatment of gynecomastia.
After liposuction, swelling typically subsides within a few weeks. By this time, the treated area should look less bulky. Within several months, expect the treated area to have a leaner appearance.
It’s natural for skin to lose some firmness with aging, but liposuction results are generally long lasting as long as you maintain your weight.
If you gain weight after liposuction, your fat distribution may change. For example, you may accumulate fat around your abdomen regardless of what areas were originally treated.

We used to prefer Istanbul for treatments. Thanks to Aegean medical, izmir has become like our second home. My liposuction, tummy tuck and breast silicone surgeries were performed without any problems. Even the interest they showed after the surgery was terrific.
