Lipo 360 in Turkey

Treating the trunk all the way round is the point. Removing fat only from the front leaves the flanks and back untouched, and the result can look odd in profile. Working circumferentially is what produces a waist rather than a flatter front.

• It removes fat, not skin

  If your skin has lost elasticity, taking fat from underneath reveals the looseness rather than tightening it. Skin excision is a different operation.

• It is not a weight-loss procedure

  The change is in shape. Someone well above a healthy weight is usually advised to lose weight first, for both the result and the safety of the operation.

• Volume is the safety issue

  Large-volume liposuction shifts fluid, can cause significant blood loss and needs proper monitoring. The amount removed in a single session should be a considered limit, not a selling point.

• It is often sold with a fat transfer

  Fat removed is frequently offered for transfer to the buttocks. That combination changes the risk profile substantially and deserves its own conversation.

• Close to a stable weight. Liposuction shapes what is there. Losing weight afterwards changes the result, so surgeons prefer you to be settled first.
• Good skin elasticity. Skin that retracts gives a smooth result. Skin that does not needs excision surgery instead or as well.
• Localised fat rather than deep abdominal fat. Fat inside the abdomen, around the organs, cannot be suctioned. A firm, protruding abdomen is often that, and liposuction will not change it.
• Not after recent childbirth or with separated muscles. Separation of the abdominal muscles needs surgical repair, not liposuction.

Where loose skin is the main issue, the tummy tuck and body lift pages describe the operations that remove it. Where a previous liposuction left dents or irregularity, that is covered on the revision liposuction page.

• The first days. Considerable swelling and bruising, fluid leaking from the entry points, and compression worn continuously. Walking starts the same day to reduce clot risk.
• The first weeks. Bruising fades, hardness and numbness persist. Lymphatic drainage massage is commonly recommended and does help with firmness.
• Months for the shape. Swelling settles slowly and the contour keeps changing. Judging the result at a few weeks means judging swelling.
• Sleeping and sitting. If a fat transfer was done at the same time, sitting is restricted and that restriction dominates the recovery.

• Ask about volume limits and monitoring. The answer tells you how the clinic thinks about safety.
• Ask what they do about loose skin. A surgeon who assesses your skin and says you may need excision is being straight with you.
• If a fat transfer is included, ask where the fat goes. Above the muscle, and whether ultrasound is used. This is not a rude question.
• Ask to see results at six months. Photographs taken at a few weeks show compression and swelling, not outcome.
