Liposuction in Turkey

Removing stubborn fat to reshape the body, planned within safe limits, in a JCI-accredited hospital in Adana.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction removes pockets of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise. Through small incisions, a thin tube (cannula) is used to loosen and remove the fat, reshaping the area.

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss treatment. It works best for people who are close to their ideal weight but have areas that stay out of proportion.

Areas we treat

Abdomen

Waist and flanks ("love handles")

Inner and outer thighs

Back and bra line

Upper arms

Under the chin (double chin liposuction)

Hips, knees and calves

Fat or loose skin?

Liposuction removes fat. It does not remove loose skin. If the skin in an area is already loose, removing the fat underneath can make it look looser. That's why we look at your skin as well as the fat:

Fat, with good skin tone: liposuction alone usually gives a good result.

Fat and loose skin on the abdomen: a tummy tuck, often combined with liposuction, is usually better.

Loose skin on the arms or thighs: an arm lift or thigh lift may be needed.

This is why we ask for clear photos before your consultation.

Is liposuction right for you?

Liposuction may suit you if:

you are at or close to a healthy, stable weight

you have specific areas of fat that don't change with diet and exercise

your skin has reasonable elasticity

you don't smoke, or are willing to stop before and after surgery

Your surgeon

Your surgery is performed by a specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. You can find your surgeon's profile, qualifications and experience on the Our Doctors page.

You'll speak with your surgeon in your online consultation, before anything is booked.

How it's done

Anaesthesia: local anaesthetic with sedation for small areas; general anaesthetic for larger or multiple areas.

Duration: about 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of areas.

Incisions: a few millimetres long, placed in natural creases where possible.

Techniques: traditional (tumescent), power-assisted, VASER and laser-assisted liposuction. See "Liposuction techniques" below.

Afterwards: a compression garment is fitted.

Liposuction techniques

All modern liposuction starts the same way: the area is filled with a fluid containing local anaesthetic and a medicine that reduces bleeding (the tumescent technique). The techniques differ in how the fat is loosened before it is removed.

About laser-assisted liposuction: the laser's heat softens the fat so it can be removed more easily and can reduce bruising. Some studies suggest the heat may also help the skin settle a little better, but laser liposuction does not remove loose skin. Because it uses heat, it needs careful technique to avoid burns to the skin or tissue underneath.

Technique How it works Often used for
Traditional (suction-assisted) The surgeon loosens the fat by moving the cannula by hand Most areas; the basis of every technique
Power-assisted (PAL) The cannula vibrates, making it easier to break up fibrous fat Larger areas, the back, men's chest and flanks, repeat liposuction
VASER (ultrasound-assisted) Ultrasound energy loosens the fat before it is removed Fibrous areas and detailed shaping, such as the abdomen and flanks
Laser-assisted (laser lipolysis) A thin laser fibre heats and softens the fat; the heat also seals small blood vessels Smaller, more delicate areas such as the arms, knees, inner thighs and under the chin

Which technique is best? No single technique is best for everyone. The result depends far more on the surgeon's planning and skill than on the device. Your surgeon may use more than one technique in the same operation, choosing what suits each area.

Safety first: how much can be removed?

The amount of fat that can safely be removed in one operation is limited. Removing a very large volume, or treating many areas at once, increases the risk of complications such as fluid imbalance and blood clots.

That's why your surgeon plans the areas and the amount for you within safe limits. If you'd like several large areas treated, we may recommend doing it in two stages, rather than promising everything in one operation.

Liposuction alongside other procedures

With a tummy tuck: liposuction of the waist and flanks shapes the waistline while the tummy tuck treats loose skin and muscles.

With a Brazilian butt lift: the fat removed by liposuction is purified and transferred to the buttocks.

With breast surgery (mommy makeover): see our mommy makeover page.

With double chin liposuction: the chin and neck can be treated in the same session.

Before you travel: free online consultation with your surgeon, photo review, written treatment plan and quote.

Day 1 – Arrival: private transfer from the airport to your hotel.

Day 2 – Tests and surgery: blood tests, markings while standing, then surgery. For smaller areas you may return to the hotel the same day; for larger areas you stay one night in hospital.

Day 7 – Final check and departure: your surgeon examines you and clears you to fly.

Back home: online follow-up with your surgeon after one month.

Flying home safely: you start walking on the day of surgery. Wear compression stockings on the flight, drink water and walk around the cabin regularly.

Surgery and surgeon's fees

Hospital care, and an overnight stay if needed

Hotel accommodation

Pre-operative tests

Compression garment

Post-operative check-ups

Private airport, hotel and hospital transfers

Interpreter and coordinator support

Online follow-up after you return home

Not included: flights, travel insurance, personal expenses.

Recovery: what to expect

Days 1–3: swelling, bruising and soreness. Some fluid may leak from the small incisions at first; this is normal.

Weeks 1–2: walking and light activity. Wear the compression garment day and night.

Weeks 2–4: most people return to desk work. Swelling continues to reduce.

Months 3–6: swelling settles and the final shape becomes visible.

The compression garment is usually worn for about six weeks.

Risks you should know about

Uneven contour: small dents or irregularities can happen and sometimes need a touch-up.

Swelling, bruising and numbness: common and settle over weeks to months.

Seroma: a collection of fluid under the skin, which may need draining.

Loose skin: if skin elasticity is limited.

Blood clots: less common than after a tummy tuck, but possible. Walking early and staying hydrated reduce the risk.

Infection or bleeding: uncommon.

Fat embolism and injury to deeper structures: rare but serious, and the reason careful technique and safe limits matter.

Your surgeon will go through your personal risks with you before you decide.

Once you're back home

You leave with a written discharge summary in English, which you can share with your GP or family doctor.

You keep WhatsApp access to your coordinator and can send photos at any time.

Your surgeon reviews your progress in an online follow-up after one month.

If you have a concern, we review it with your surgeon and tell you clearly what to do next.

Is liposuction permanent?

The fat cells that are removed don't come back. But the fat cells that remain can still grow if you gain weight, in the treated areas and elsewhere. A stable weight and an active lifestyle help you keep your result.

How much weight will I lose?

Very little on the scales. Liposuction changes your shape, not your weight. Only a limited amount of fat is removed, so the change shows more in your shape and clothing size than on the scales.

Will there be scars?

The incisions are a few millimetres long and usually fade to small marks that are hard to see.

How many areas can be treated at once?

It depends on the size of the areas and your health. Your surgeon will plan what can be safely done in one operation.

Do VASER or laser liposuction tighten the skin?

They may help the skin settle a little better, but neither removes loose skin. If your skin is loose, your surgeon will tell you honestly.

When can I go back to the gym?

Light exercise after about two weeks; full training after four to six weeks, as advised by your surgeon.

Can someone come with me?

Yes, and we recommend it. Your companion can stay with you at the hotel.
