 Taking advantage of the latest technologies, liposuction in Turkey offers a great variety of options. Although all of them aim at fat removal, each technique functions differently from one another. There are mainly three liposuction techniques in Turkey:

• Traditional Liposuction: The technique consists of fat removal from the body by means of its aspiration with fine cannulas that are inserted under the skin through small incisions of 2-3 millimeters. Traditional liposuction in Turkey is mostly preferred when the candidate has a significant amount of fat or seek for cheap liposuction.
• Vaser Liposuction: It is a quick and less-traumatic liposuction technique that facilitates fat removal by selectively acting on the fatty tissue and making it liquid through ultrasound waves.

• Vaser Hi-def (High Definition) Liposuction: It is a liposculpture system using ultrasound waves together with resonance.

• If you had a general anesthetic, someone would need to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
• How long it will be before you are able to return to work will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of job that you do and how much of your body was treated.
• The same will apply to how long it will be before you are able to drive. You should discuss this with your surgeon.
• The bandage or corset can be taken off while you shower.
• You will need to avoid strenuous activity for up to 4 to 6 weeks (but walking and general movement should be fine).

After about a week: Stitches would be removed (unless you had dissolvable stitches).

Liposuction Recovery Process

Liposuction is a treatment done in advanced surgical procedures, By removing excess fat in certain areas of the body and makes the body more consistent. This method is carried out around the world for aesthetic purposes. It can, however, be done to treat such medical conditions and to treat male gynecomastia. Liposuction, known as body carving, offers permanent ways to minimize the number of fat cells that have accumulated as a result of weight gain.

The Recovery Process:

The extensiveness of the surgery is one of the key elements of the recovery period of a liposuction procedure. Typically, liposuction is done as an outpatient procedure, and the healing period is relatively fast in general. 

No two cases are the same, But after three to ten days of recovery, most patients will return to work, and gradually resume daily activities within two to five weeks. Still, some swelling, soreness, and bruises can linger for longer, and once you’ve completely healed, you will have to be very cautious about heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.

Different liposuction procedures may require varying amounts of aftercare and recovery time, depending on the volume of fat cells extracted, the location and amount of surgical site(s), and the patient’s body type. To help control swelling and allow the body to heal properly according to its new contours, the treated area may be supported with elastic bandages and a compression garment as you recover.

It is imperative that you obey the pre and post-op directions of your plastic surgeon specifically, and be thorough in addressing any questions or concerns that you might have during the process. As well as encouraging the easiest, safest plastic surgery healing procedure, your surgeon will give you specific instructions about how to clean and dress the surgical site.

Also, to decrease the risk of infection and assist in the healing process, he or she will typically prescribe medications to be taken orally and/or applied to the surgical site. To make sure everything is healing correctly, you may need to know what to look out for, as well as arrange a follow-up appointment with your surgeon.
