Stubborn fat deposits that you cannot get rid of despite diet and regular exercise are a common problem for many of us. Certain parts of our body are genetically more prone to fat storage, and the excess in these areas can prevent us from achieving the body contour we want, no matter how hard we try. At this point, one of the most popular and effective methods of modern plastic surgery liposuction it's coming into play.
Liposuction is a procedure that reshapes the body rather than a weight loss surgery. body contouring art. As Dr. Alper Eskalen and his team of experts, we use advanced liposuction technologies to get rid of regional excess permanently and achieve the slimmer, more proportional body contours of your dreams.
What Exactly Is Liposuction and How Does It Work?
Liposuction is the process of removing excess fat tissue from certain parts of the body by suctioning it with the help of thin cannulas (tubes) and vacuum. Nowadays Vaser Liposuction Thanks to advanced technologies that use ultrasonic sound waves, this procedure is performed much more precisely and effectively. Vaser technology targets only the fat cells and liquefies them, without damaging the surrounding vessels, nerves and connective tissue. This means less bruising, less pain and a much faster healing process.
Which Areas Can Liposuction Be Applied?
Liposuction can be safely applied to almost any area of stubborn fat accumulation in the body. The most preferred areas for both women and men are as follows:
- Abdomen and Waist (Bagel Area): It is the most popular application area. Removal of fat around the abdomen and waist provides the appearance of a slimmer waist and a flat stomach.
- Hips and Buttocks: These areas, where fat accumulation is genetically intense, especially in women, are shaped with liposuction to create a more proportional lower body profile.
- Legs (Inner and Outer Thighs): Fat deposits that cause the legs to rub against each other or distort the leg contour are effectively removed.
- Inside the Knee It is an important touch that completes leg aesthetics.
- Back Folds and fat deposits that protrude from under the bra or from the sides are eliminated.
- Arms Especially in the back and inner parts of the arm, fatty deposits that tend to sag are removed, resulting in firmer and slimmer arms.
- Double Chin (Under the Chin): The fat in the jowl area is removed to clarify the face and neck line and create a sharper jaw line.
- Breast Area in Men (Gynecomastia): In the treatment of gynecomastia, liposuction is often used to remove excess fat tissue.
The Most Curious Question: Is Liposuction a Permanent Solution?
Yes, liposuction is a permanent solution when the right conditions are met.
To understand this better, we need to know the working principle of fat cells in our body. After puberty, the number of fat cells in our body remains constant. When we gain weight, the number of these cells does not increase, the volume of existing cells expands. Most of the fat cells in the area treated with liposuction operation permanently is removed from the body. In other words, the number of cells that will store fat in that area is significantly reduced.
And what does that mean?
Even if you experience a significant weight gain after the surgery, the area where liposuction was performed will be much less fat compared to other areas. This is because there are now fewer fat cells in that area. The body will prefer other areas without liposuction to store excess calories.
However, this does not mean that “I can eat as much as I want after liposuction, I will never gain weight from that area again”. The most important factor to maintain the permanence and success of the operation, is a healthy lifestyle and weight control. As long as you maintain your weight with a balanced diet and regular exercise, the fit and shaped body lines you get with liposuction will stay with you for life.
Liposuction offers you a smooth start and great motivation. With Dr. Alper Eskalen's artistic touch and the power of modern technology, it is up to you to maintain and enjoy your new body contour.
