Providing information about liposuction, which has recently been frequently discussed, Denizli Özel Egekent Hospital Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Tuğrul Çelebi emphasized that liposuction is not an alternative to exercise or diet.
Explaining that liposuction is a fat removal operation performed by plastic surgery specialists under general or local anesthesia, Op. Dr. Tuğrul Çelebi said: “In our clinic, we use a power-assisted liposuction device for liposuction operations. With this device, liposuction can be performed almost everywhere, from the chin area to the legs.”
Highlighting that liposuction is not a slimming method and not an alternative to diet or exercise, Op. Dr. Tuğrul Çelebi stated: “It is important to select the right patient for liposuction. I do not recommend liposuction for obese patients. In the right patients, that is, those close to their ideal weight, we achieve very good results. Depending on the amount of liposuction performed, patients may be discharged on the same day or may need to stay at most one night. There is a one-week recovery period after the procedure, after which patients can return to their normal lives. On average, there is a one-month period of wearing a corset, and in most cases, there is no need to use even painkillers.”
