It is note-worthy that Liposuction is not the technique to lose weight. The purpose of liposuction is to contour or sculpt a specific area of the body by removing excess fat.

Procedure

Liposuction can be done under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. The procedure may take from 30 minutes to few hours depending upon the size of the area to be treated and the litres of fat that needs to be removed. You may be advised to stay at the hospital for a day after the surgery to make sure you are healing well.

One or more very small incision (0.5-1 cm) in length are made as inconspicuously as possible, in the natural crease of the body in the area to be treated. A cannulae, connected to the vacuum pump, is inserted through this incision, which sucks out the extra fat from the area. The incisions are then closed and the bandage applied.

There are various categories and techniques of liposuction, which include Body jet liposuction, tumescent, Vaser, Ultrasonic and traditional liposuction.

You would need to stay at the hospital for 1 or 2 days after liposuction depending upon how many areas and how big the area has been treated. Another 7 days are required in Turkey before you fly back to your country. A total of 8-10 days are required for you to get Liposuction in Turkey.
