liposuction

Excess body fat that cannot be removed despite diet and exercise can be removed with liposuction. Liposuction is not a weight loss surgery, but regional excess fat is removed with this method. With diet and weight loss, the diameter of fat cells decreases, but the number does not decrease. Liposuction, on the other hand, reduces fat cells both in mass and in number. The possibility of fat accumulation in the area where liposuction is performed decreases.

The amount of fat removed by liposuction should be limited to a maximum of 5 liters. When more is taken, the risk of fat embolism suddenly increases. Patients are recommended to wear a corset after liposuction. The corset is worn for a month. The use of a corset in the area of liposuction both prevents pain and allows the skin to adhere to the lower layers and reduces edema.
