Liposuction in Turkey

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 (or “lipo”) is a safe and effective solution for removing fat pockets that are resistant to traditional weight-loss methods. If you’re at a healthy, stable weight but still bothered by stubborn areas of fat, liposuction may be the right choice for you.

What Is Liposuction?

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:

  • Abdomen and waist
  • Back and flanks
  • Hips and thighs
  • Arms
  • Chin and neck

Our goal is always the same: to help you achieve a leaner, more balanced silhouette while keeping your body’s natural proportions.

What Liposuction Techniques Do We Use?

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.

Here’s how they work:

Suction-Assisted Liposuction (SAL)

A sterile solution made of saline, water, and anaesthetic is first injected into the fat tissue. This helps loosen the fat, reduce bleeding, and numb the area. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted to gently suction out the fat — similar to an IV needle.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL / VASER)

This method uses a special cannula that vibrates at high speed and emits ultrasound energy. As it moves through the tissue, the energy breaks down fat cells, making them easier to remove with suction. This is ideal for areas requiring more precise contouring.

We also offer:

  • J Plasma (Renuvion) for internal skin tightening after fat removal
  • Argon Plasma for further improving skin tone and elasticity post-lipo

These add-on technologies enhance final results by helping the skin contract smoothly after the procedure.

FAQ

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:

  • You are in overall good health
  • You have localized fat pockets that don’t respond to diet or exercise
  • You are at or near your ideal weight and have good skin elasticity
  • You are not looking for a weight-loss procedure
  • You have realistic expectations about the outcome

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:

  • Upper and lower abdomen
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Lower and mid-back

This 360-degree approach creates a more sculpted waistline and a balanced silhouette.

Clinic Phaselis offers advanced liposuction methods, including:

  • Traditional (Suction-Assisted) Liposuction
  • Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (Vaser)
  • J Plasma and Argon Plasma

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:

  • Reduce swelling
  • Improve skin retraction
  • Support the healing process
  • Enhance final results

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:

  • Bruising, swelling, or numbness
  • Infection or bleeding (rare)
  • Fluid accumulation (seroma)
  • Temporary changes in skin sensation
  • Pulmonary embolism or fat embolism (extremely rare)

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.
