Hospitals of Turkey has access to the latest technologies and surgeries related to liposuction. Following are some of the surgeries/approaches available in Turkey for liposuction:

• Liposuction and tummy tuck:  The liposuction and tummy tuck are used for the removal of extra fat from the tummy. While liposuction is used to remove excess fat, a tummy tuck involves removal of excess skin. Although both the surgeries are different from each other but when done simultaneously, may result in enhanced effects.  

• Traditional surgery:  This is the oldest and effective method for removing excess fat from the body. The procedure is done under general anesthesia. The general anesthesia is administered in the body through intravenous route. The cannula is used for scraping out excess fat from the body. 

• Laser liposuction: This technique of liposuction is done through a laser beam. The laser beam generates heat and liquefies the fat of the body. After the laser beam procedure, the liquified fat is extracted out from the body. This is a safe and painless technique which can be performed under local anesthetics.

• Ultrasound-assisted liposuction: The techniques involve the use of a large volume of the tumescent fluid acting as an anesthetic, ultrasound energy, and heat. This procedure is effective in removing fat from the upper and side abdomen and also from the back.

• Vaser liposuction: For people, who do not have enough time because of their busy schedule, this is the best technique as they do not have to stay in the hospital. The technique is performed under local anesthesia. This technique provides high-quality results in both male and female.

• Take antibiotics: The surgeon may prescribe antibiotics for reducing the risk of infection. 

• Pain killers: The patients may experience pain and swelling at the site of surgery. For reducing the pain and swelling, analgesic drugs are prescribed which can be taken as and when directed.

• Wear loose clothes: After the surgery, the patient should wear loose clothes. It is because there is a bandage on the incision and tight clothes may compress the incision leading to pain at the site of surgery.

• Physical activity: The best physical activity is slow-walking post-surgery. More quickly the patient starts walking, more the chances of early recovery. However, any movement after the surgery should be done strictly under the guidance of the surgeon. The walking accelerates the healing process and prevents the formation of a blood clot in legs.

• Cover the incision: After the surgery, the doctor applies a bandage at the site of surgery. Do not remove the bandage. Change the bandage as instructed by the surgeon or para-medical staff.
