Liposuction, i.e. fat removal, is a plastic surgery operation that was first performed in 1980 and continues to this day. Liposuction is the method of absorbing the over-fat under the skin with the help of vacuum or specially prepared injectors with special cannules. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that regulates the unbalanced fat distribution in our body. The aim of this operation is not to lose weight, but to ensure that all diets and exercises are followed and stubborn fats that cannot be responded to are eliminated. Thanks to liposuction, your body will also take shape. The duration of liposuction operation changes from 15-20 minutes to 1-2 hours, which depends on the problem. Liposuction mostly results in people with normal weight or slightly above normal weight, but in people who are disturbed by the bad appearance of regional fat. For hormone and genetic reasons, fats are stored in different regions in men and women. It is seen around the abdomen, hips and thighs in women and around the abdomen in men. It is considered to shrink these areas with weight loss by exercising and dieting. However, there is no significant change in these areas with the help of exercise and diet.

Liposuction is applied not only for the abdomen, waist and hip area, but also in the fats around the neck, chin, breasts, arms, legs and knee.
