At Clinic Phaselis in Antalya, liposuction is one of our most popular cosmetic procedures — and for good reason. While diet and exercise are essential for a healthy lifestyle, they often fall short when it comes to localised fat that simply won’t go away.
Liposuction, also known as lipo, is a surgical body-contouring procedure designed to remove localised fat deposits that may persist despite a healthy lifestyle. It is not a weight-loss treatment, and suitability depends on individual health, anatomy, treatment goals and an appropriate medical assessment.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body using suction. It’s not intended for weight loss, but rather for body contouring — refining your shape by targeting areas that don’t respond to exercise.
Common treatment areas include:
Our goal is always the same: to help you achieve a leaner, more balanced silhouette while keeping your body’s natural proportions.
At Clinic Phaselis, we offer several advanced liposuction methods to suit different needs and body types — all performed by board-certified plastic surgeons using the latest equipment.
Suction-Assisted Liposuction (SAL)
This technique uses a thin surgical tube called a cannula to remove fat through controlled suction. A specially prepared fluid solution may be introduced into the treatment area beforehand to assist the procedure. The surgical approach depends on the patient’s anatomy and the extent of treatment.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL / VASER)
This technique uses ultrasound energy to help break down fatty tissue before it is removed through suction. It may be considered for selected body-contouring procedures, depending on the treatment area, individual anatomy and the surgeon’s assessment.
We also offer:
In selected cases, energy-based technologies may be considered alongside liposuction to address skin laxity. Their suitability, potential benefits, limitations and specific risks should be discussed with the treating surgeon. These techniques are not appropriate for every patient and do not guarantee skin tightening or a particular cosmetic outcome.
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body using suction. It is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a body-contouring treatment that targets areas like the abdomen, thighs, back, arms, and chin where fat may be resistant to diet and exercise.
Liposuction may be right for you if:
During your consultation at Clinic Phaselis, our surgeons will evaluate your suitability based on your goals and anatomy.
Lipo 360 is a comprehensive liposuction technique that contours the entire midsection. It typically includes:
This 360-degree approach creates a more sculpted waistline and a balanced silhouette.
Clinic Phaselis offers advanced liposuction methods, including:
Each technique is selected based on your body type, goals, and the areas to be treated.
Yes, the fat cells removed during liposuction are gone permanently. However, maintaining your results depends on keeping a stable weight. Gaining weight after surgery can lead to enlargement of remaining fat cells in untreated areas.
Yes, a compression garment must be worn for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. It helps:
Our team will guide you on how to wear it properly during recovery.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss method. It removes fat for body contouring, not for dropping large amounts of weight. Most patients lose only a small amount of weight but gain noticeable definition and shape.
Liposuction is generally safe when performed by a board-certified surgeon in an accredited facility. Like any surgery, it carries risks such as:
At Clinic Phaselis, your safety is ensured through advanced techniques, sterile environments, and full post-op monitoring.
Most patients return to light desk work within 2 to 5 days. For more physically demanding jobs, you may need up to 10 days off. Your surgeon will provide a recovery timeline tailored to your case.
Light activities such as walking can be resumed within 24 to 48 hours. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise or lifting for 4 to 6 weeks.
Yes, liposuction is equally effective for men. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, chest, flanks, and chin.
Liposuction involves small incisions (typically 3–5 mm), which may leave tiny scars. These are usually well hidden and fade over time. Scar care treatments may be recommended if needed.
Some patients notice temporary swelling or fluid retention in the days following surgery. This is a normal part of healing and does not reflect fat gain. Compression garments help reduce this effect.
Liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia, so the procedure itself is painless. Post-operative soreness, swelling, or tenderness is normal and manageable with prescribed pain medication.
Swelling and fluid buildup are common in the weeks after surgery. This will gradually subside, and your results will become more visible over time. Wearing your compression garment as directed is essential for recovery.
Most patients start seeing noticeable changes after 4 to 6 weeks, but full results typically appear between 3 to 6 months as swelling completely resolves and the skin adjusts to your new shape.

I recently traveled from the US to Clinic Phaselis for a mummy makeover with Dr. Bahadir Celik. The procedures were not only affordable but also performed by a highly skilled surgeon.
The all-inclusive price covered everything—my stay, meals, transportation, lymphatic drainage massages, medication, surgical garments, a hotel nurse, and even at-home follow-ups. It was an excellent experience from start to finish!
