Liposuction is a common surgical procedure to remove stubborn fat deposits and reshape certain areas of the body. If you are considering liposuction, here is what you need to know about the process, costs and post-operative care.
1. Overall liposuction process:
Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. The general steps in the process are:
- Initial consultation: You will meet with your plastic surgeon to discuss your aesthetic goals, assess the areas to be treated and discuss available surgical options.
- Surgical planning: Your surgeon will establish a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and aesthetic desires. This may include the choice of areas to be treated and the liposuction technique to be used.
- Surgery: During surgery, small incisions are made in the areas to be treated, and a saline solution mixed with an anesthetic is injected to facilitate the extraction of fat. Then a small cannula is inserted to gently suck up the fat deposits.
- Fat aspiration: Using precise movements, the surgeon removes excess fat to sculpt the desired contours. The amount of fat removed depends on the patient’s aesthetic goals and surgeon’s recommendations.
- Closing incisions: Once liposuction is complete, incisions are usually very small and often do not require sutures. A pressure dressing can be applied to help reduce swelling and promote healing.
2. Liposuction Price:
The cost of liposuction varies depending on several factors, including the amount of fat to eliminate, the number of areas to treat, the surgeon’s reputation and hospital fees. In France, the price of liposuction can generally vary from 2,000 to 6,000 euros per treated area, or more, depending on individual circumstances. In Turkey, a popular destination for aesthetic interventions, prices can be more competitive, typically ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 euros per treated area.
3. Post-operative care:
After liposuction, it is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to promote rapid healing and optimal results. Some general post-operative care tips include:
- Wearing compression clothing: You will need to wear special compression clothing to help reduce swelling and maintain new body contours.
- Rest and recovery: Plan to take a few days of rest after surgery to allow your body to recover. Avoid strenuous physical activity for several weeks.
- Hydration and healthy eating: Make sure you stay well hydrated and follow a healthy and balanced diet to promote healing and maintain the results of liposuction.
