Power Liposuction

The traditional liposuction method removes fat tissues with the power of the aspiration device and physical manipulation. In power liposuction, the cannulas used automatically vibrate. This rapid movement offers a much safer and more effective procedure and faster and easier application.

The most important advantage of power-assisted liposuction is that the tissues in the targeted area are much less traumatized. This way, there is less bruising compared to traditional liposuction, and recovery is faster.

Additionally, with the power liposuction method, fat tissues in much larger areas can be targeted compared to the traditional method.

Since a much smaller cannula is used than the one in traditional liposuction, it requires a smaller incision, and thus the procedure results in minimal scarring.

In addition, the power liposuction method shortens the operation time and allows the surgeon to perform a more effective procedure with less effort.

Power liposuction can be used in almost every part of the body for effective spot reduction and far removal. While the technique is more commonly preferred in high accumulation areas such as the hips, buttocks, and waist, it can also be used in more sensitive areas such as the face and neck.

The recovery period after power liposuction varies between 1-6 weeks, depending on the patient's overall health, the size of the targeted area, and the amount of fat removed. Edema and bruises begin to disappear within ten days following the operation and disappear completely at the end of the healing process. At the end of the first month, the desired body contours become more visible. The final result is observed between 6 months and one year.

After the operation, it is necessary to use a compression garment for six weeks to prevent bleeding and suppress subcutaneous edema. This garment is also necessary so that the skin nicely adapts to the underlying tissue to create a smoother appearance. Of these six weeks, the garment needs to be worn for 24 hours for three weeks and only part-time for the remaining three weeks.

Drinking plenty of fluids after the surgery, avoiding salty and fatty foods, and avoiding a sedentary lifestyle will help the healing process. However, patients should refrain from strenuous activity for a period recommended by their doctor.

Since the incisions made are 2-4 mm in size and closed with a minimum number of stitches, there is no prominent scarring.

The surgery can take between 30 minutes and 3 hours, depending on the size of the surgical area. Likewise, depending on the size of the operated area, the patient can usually be discharged the next day.

The effects of body contouring with power liposuction are quite permanent. In an adult, the number of fat cells is constant; although the size of the cells changes, their number does not increase. Power liposuction procedure, just like other liposuction methods, provides a permanent effect in the applied area as it removes fat tissues from the body. However, for the best results, it should be supported by a healthy diet and regular exercise.

The operation can be performed under general or local anesthesia and is mostly painless. Most patients feel only pressure or a pulling sensation during the procedure. Pain may be felt for 3-4 days after the operation, but it can be easily relieved with over-the-counter painkillers.

Power liposuction cannot be used as a weight loss method. Like other liposuction methods, it removes stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise and shapes the body. Therefore, it is not recommended for people who are overweight and whose weight fluctuates often. In addition, people with cardiovascular and circulatory system disorders or chronic diseases such as diabetes are not suitable candidates for liposuction.

Power liposuction is recommended for people whose overall health is suitable for the operation, who are at or close to their ideal weight, but who cannot get rid of resistant fat deposits despite exercise or diet.

Patients should inform their doctors about all medications they use and stop using anticoagulants at least three weeks before the procedure. In addition, patients should refrain from eating, smoking, or drinking starting from the evening before the operation.
