Liposuction in Turkey is one of the most common plastic surgeries, as it aims to define the shape of the body and help reduce the volume of fat that is difficult to get rid of in certain parts of the body. But it is basically the removal of excess fat from almost any part of the body and does not reduce final body weight. Many women and men undergo liposuction and each person who has the procedure has a different goal.
Some want to look better in a swimsuit, some want their clothes to fit more comfortably, while others are trying to improve the results of their diet and exercise routine.
Liposuction is commonly used by plastic surgeons to improve the results of other medical procedures, for example liposuction is often used to complete a tummy tuck .
Liposuction in Turkey is most commonly done with the patient sedated and lightly asleep and does not require general anesthesia. Once the patient is asleep, the areas to be aspirated are anesthetized using the local injection technique.
In this, a specific amount of local anesthetic is placed in a bag of intravenous fluid, and then a syringe is used to slowly inject it throughout the fat to be removed.
This allows less of the local anesthetic to spread over a large area of the fat and numb it and also constricts the blood vessels in the fat to reduce bleeding.
All liposuction procedures are done with this technique and small access incisions are made through which very thin cannulas are used to remove the fat. In this complete guide about liposuction in Turkey 2023, we will review the cost of the operation, patient experiences with pictures, how to perform the procedure, and other details of the operation.

Steps for liposuction in Turkey
During the initial consultation, the surgeon will explain all aspects of the liposuction procedure in Turkey in detail. While the approach and technique differ from patient to patient, most liposuction surgeries will have the same basic outline. Liposuction may be exposed to many forms, types, and techniques, but it does not differ greatly in its procedural steps.
anesthesia
Liposuction in Turkey can be performed using general or local anesthesia, depending on the location and severity of the procedure. General anesthesia will be given either as an inhaled gas or an intravenous injection, and the patient will be put to sleep throughout the procedure. On the other hand, local anesthesia will only numb the specific area of the body to be treated, and the patient will remain conscious during the surgery.
Traditional liposuction is a common technique nowadays, which only involves the use of local anesthesia. This makes the procedure less invasive and involves a faster recovery. However, the choice of technique and use of anesthesia will be determined according to the extent of fat to be removed and consideration of many other factors.
cracks opened
Once the patient is placed under anesthesia, the surgeon will create small incisions in targeted areas of the body to remove excess fatty tissue. The cracks are usually minor, ranging from a quarter to a third of an inch.
The experienced surgeon at the Turkiyaholidays Center will ensure that the placement of the incisions is as subtle as possible so as not to cause visible scars after the operation.
All surgeons and specialists at the Turkish Way Center are accredited by the National Board of Surgeons of Turkey and have international accreditations from reliable bodies. Therefore, there will be no risk or anxiety during liposuction in Turkey regarding the surgical incisions. Ask us about doctors from here
Removal of adipose tissue
Through small incisions, the surgeon will insert a thin, hollow tube into the fat deposits. It will go into deeper layers of fat. The surgeon will manually dislodge the fat cells by moving the tube back and forth. Once the fat cells have been broken down, they will be suctioned out with the help of a vacuum pump or syringe.
Lasers, ultrasound, radiofrequency, or other technologies may be combined at this stage to make the fat removal process easier and less invasive.
At Turkiyaholidays Center, we choose the appropriate technique for the patient, according to his health condition and the amount of fat to be removed.
The patient will receive intravenous fluid replacement during and after liposuction because removing the fat will remove some blood and bodily fluids along with the fat.
Close the cracks
After this procedure, the surgeon will close the incisions with removable sutures or dissolvable sutures. Drainage tubes may be placed under the skin for a few days to collect excess fluid and reduce the risk of infection.
Sutures and drains are often removed within about a week to 10 days. In a few cases, the surgeon may keep the incisions open to reduce bruising and swelling.
Liposuction with other procedures
Liposuction is a highly customizable procedure that can target specific areas of the body. It can be performed along with other surgeries for more comprehensive results. These operations that can be involved with liposuction in Turkey are tummy tuck, body sculpting, breast reduction, and buttocks and arms lift. They are some of the procedures that are usually involved with liposuction.
Liposuction techniques in Turkey
The goal of liposuction is to bring out the best in your body by reducing the unsightly fat deposits left behind even after strict diet and exercise. A variety of different techniques can be used to deliver the best results for each liposuction patient in Turkey, according to their specific needs.
All liposuction techniques share minor hidden incisions, resulting in inconspicuous scars. Imagine that with a small, hidden incision, it will reduce fat from the abdomen, buttocks, inner and outer thighs. At Turkiyaholidays, we specialize in single port liposuction which involves only one small incision to suction out fats in many areas of the body.
Liposuction from one port
Using only one incision to reduce fat from many areas on the body and with the use of a specialized thin tube, even the tiniest of scars are minimized. This technique is particularly important in patients with poor skin complexion that makes them predisposed to form a visible scar such as those with darker complexions.
Liposuction without anesthesia
By using local anesthesia rather than full or general anesthesia, our surgeons at Turkiyaholidays center provide a much less risky option for liposuction in Turkey. Patients can now enjoy the results of liposuction and body contouring as an outpatient procedure, without the need for a hospital stay or the inconveniences of general anesthesia. Many patients with heart or lung problems cannot undergo general anesthesia, and local anesthesia is better for them.
Conventional liposuction
Widely considered the gold standard involved in body contouring, traditional liposuction uses a proprietary solution to break down fat cells to facilitate sculpting and great results. Certain areas of the body cannot be subjected to advanced liposuction, due to the presence of obstacles that stand in the way of its use. Therefore, the traditional process is the appropriate solution in breaking down fat and obtaining quick results.
Liposuction by pressure
With pressure liposuction, surgeons are able to reduce large amounts of fat with less force, resulting in less bruising and swelling that encourages faster recovery. This operation may be appropriate in many cases where the body is not equipped to deal with bruising and swelling after the operation.
Vaser liposuction or ultrasound
Vaser liposuction targets fat cells only, excluding the rest of the cells within the scope of treatment, and works to leave the surrounding tissues and blood vessels unharmed. This method is ideal for liposuction in areas of the body that are difficult to treat traditionally, such as gynecomastia or upper back areas. The specialists at the Turkiyaholidays Center are fully prepared to cooperate with you directly to choose the appropriate liposuction technique for your condition. Request a free consultation now.
Laser liposuction
By harnessing the energy of the laser, the fat cells are emulsified and made more amenable and easier to draw out. At the same time, the laser coagulates the blood within nearby vessels to reduce bleeding. Collagen production is also boosted and the surface of the skin is tightened and smoothed. Laser liposuction is one of the most important technologies that have developed recently, and we were probably among the first to use it in liposuction in Turkey.
CoolSculpting liposuction
It is another non-invasive technique that has seen increasing popularity in recent times. With this technique, the fat cells are frozen in place, thus breaking down and fragmenting. Over the next few weeks and months after the procedure, the body will simply gradually absorb these dead cells and the targeted area will lose its greasy appearance.
Liposuction review
In some cases, not all results of liposuction appear the first time. Through a combination of additional liposuction procedures along with fat transfer, surgeons can correct minor findings of previous liposuction experience. This type may be resorted to in case of fat accumulation again due to lack of proper care after the initial liposuction.
Liposuction cost in Turkey
Liposuction is usually performed as an elective cosmetic surgery. This means that the insurance will not cover the associated costs. Therefore, it is important for the patient to fully evaluate the cost aspects before deciding to have the operation.
During the preoperative consultation, the surgeon will explain various aspects of the procedure, including its estimated costs. A committed surgeon will make sure that the patient has the correct information about costs to make an informed choice.
Liposuction prices depend on the patient’s needs, particularly the number of areas from which fat needs to be removed. With Turkiyaholidays Center, all prices are discussed during the initial free consultation. The price of liposuction may play an important role in your decision-making process, and we understand how important it is to know exactly what the price of liposuction includes for a patient who is looking for this type of procedure.

Advantages of liposuction in Turkey
You may have spent a lot of time searching for the best places that offer liposuction in Turkey at a low cost with integrated medical care. You will often end up settling on Turkey for many reasons. Perhaps the most important of these reasons is the experiences of former patients, especially in clinics and hospitals that have a long history in this type of operation.
You can investigate this by browsing the website of the International Society of Plastic Surgery, which in its latest report on plastic surgery around the world stated that Turkey is among the great countries in this field . What is more, Turkey is nowadays considered a destination for patients who wish to undergo plastic surgery from the Middle East and Europe in particular, due to its proximity to these regions. We can summarize the advantages of liposuction in Turkey in the following points:
- The cost is lower than most other countries that provide the service, and the savings in the process may reach about 60%.
- The accreditation methods are many and have high credibility, as Turkiyaholidays, centers are accredited on the basis of the National Association of Surgeons, and many plastic centers in Turkey have reliable international accreditations, such as the Turkiyaholidays Center, which provides patients with access to these accreditations.
- The close desire to provide safe medical care services from the beginning of the initial consultation for the operation until the subsequent follow-up stages.
- The high experience gained by surgeons in Turkey from the large numbers of people who flock to them to perform liposuction, which made them more familiar with modern and advanced techniques.
- Possibility to spend a free vacation and a picnic in the most beautiful European countries during the treatment phase.
- The reliability of the results and treatment due to the strict laws imposed by the Turkish government on all workers in this field and service providers to ensure the good reputation and reputation of the country in medical tourism.
- The wide variety of places to perform the operation and the abundance of the medical center and surgeons with different experiences and treatment orientations.
How was my experience with liposuction in Turkey successful?
Before anyone is allowed to undergo liposuction in Turkey, the person’s condition must be evaluated by a specialist in the field of plastic surgery. The person who is a candidate for this operation must be in good health and have an amount of fatty deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
Men and women over 18 years of age who are in good health are suitable for liposuction.
In some cases, liposuction cannot be performed, such as:
- Women in pregnancy and lactation.
- People who suffer from health problems that hinder the recovery process after the operation.
- People who take weight loss medications to stop taking these medications for several weeks before the operation.
- People who are allergic to lidocaine used during the procedure.
Teenagers and surgery in Turkey
Liposuction experiments in Turkey include cases that have been monitored for children under the age of twelve. Although these cases are not common, there are not many cases in which the doctor accepts to perform these operations on adolescents, especially after losing a significant part of the weight. In general, the doctor begins by evaluating the adolescent’s psychological state and self-confidence before agreeing to the operation. Some teens have excess fat under the chin, calves, buttocks, and many other areas that make them vulnerable to ridicule. In these cases, the operation can give them a more defined and attractive appearance.
The age is appropriate.. but!
Although there is no age limit for the patient who wishes to undergo the surgery, there are multiple risks associated with some previously unstudied cases, so the patient must be in good health to be able to perform the operation. People with health problems or those taking certain medications may not be eligible for such operations.
An initial consultation with your surgeon will largely determine whether or not you qualify for the procedure.
Patients who have good skin elasticity will find the best results after the operation, because the surgery does not tighten the skin.
Therefore, it must be taken into account that elderly patients have less elastic skin than younger patients.
