Liposuction in Turkey

Liposuction, i.e. fat removal, is an aesthetic surgical procedure that was first performed in 1980 and has been continued to be performed ever since. The procedure involving the suction of excess fat with vacuum through special cannulae or specially prepared syringes is called liposuction. Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed to regulate unbalanced fat distribution in our body. This procedure is not intended for enabling the patient to lose weight, but for removing stubborn fat deposits, which have not responded to efforts despite the patient has complied with all diet and exercise rules. Thanks to liposuction, your body will be shaped. The duration of liposuction ranges from 15 to 20 minutes or from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the problem. Liposuction gives the most perfect results in those with normal weight or those who are a little overweight but uncomfortable with the bad appearance of regional fat deposition. Due to hormonal and genetic factors, fat deposition occurs in different regions in men and women. It is seen in the abdomen, hip and thigh region in women, and around the abdomen in men. These regions are intended to be reduced through weight loss by exercising and dieting. However, no significant change is seen in these regions, with the help of exercise and diet. The only way to get rid of excess fat deposits in these regions is liposuction surgery. Liposuction is applied not only to the abdomen, lower back, and hip region, but also to the neck, under-chin region, breasts, arms, legs and around the knee.Can anyone have liposuction?
