At the present time, liposuction is one of the most prevalent cosmetic procedures in the whole world, and therefore it is necessary to take an idea about the means of these operations and their most commonly used techniques, as looking at all the available techniques and knowing the differences between them helps in determining the best procedure for the patient according to the desired area of liposuction and the results that the patient expects. All of this is after consulting the specialist doctor. In this article, we present a simple explanation of the most common liposuction methods:

Liposuction methods:

traditional way:

It is the manual method and is considered one of the oldest and most prevalent liposuction methods in the field of liposuction operations. In this method, a surgical incision is made in the skin using a dedicated surgical scalpel, and then the fat that the client wants to remove, But before that, a large amount of a local anesthetic solution with saline is injected into the target area, and this procedure aims to sterilize the area and help in liposuction of the melted fat later, and this method is recommended in large areas of the body such as the buttocks, abdomen, and others.

Laser liposuction:

The area where the fat is to be removed is targeted with laser beams without the use of a surgical scalpel as in the traditional method. 

The basic technique here is to rely on the heat emitted by the laser beams to break up the bonds of the adipose tissue and thus dissolve the fat. As for the melted fat, it is withdrawn by a cannula, which is a small tube It has a very small diameter, and the important feature here is that the laser beams help stimulate the production of collagen fibers in the skin, and thus contribute to tightening the skin within the targeted area and giving it a healthy appearance.

Vaser liposuction (UAL):

Or what is known as ultrasonic liposuction, which is also characterized by the absence of a surgical incision to complete the operation, and it relies on ultrasound that works to break up the connections between adipose tissue cells, and for fat that has been dissolved, it is also withdrawn by cannula, and it is recommended to follow this procedure In sensitive or small areas of the body, such as the face, chin and neck, it is distinguished from other techniques by its high accuracy and ideal results, but it requires more time than other methods.

Water liposuction:

It is considered one of the traditional methods, but it is not a desirable method, but rather a controversial method. It requires anesthetizing the patient in general, and depends on the principle of pumping large amounts of liquid into the area where the fat is to be dissolved, and this liquid consists of saline solution and anesthetic under the skin in the target area. The downside of this method is that it requires general anesthesia and can cause weight gain, which is an undesirable result after the operation.

Vaser liposuction is considered the best procedure to get the perfect body and slim figure, and this procedure is also a type of body sculpting procedure whereby work is done to show the muscles and remove moderate obesity.

It is not a treatment for obesity and a solution to significant weight loss, as some think.

Turkey has become at the present time one of the most important medical tourism destinations in the world, and many countries compete in this field, as the cosmetic field has developed significantly, especially in the last ten years, and beauty centers are turning towards non-surgical cosmetic operations, which facilitates obtaining the desired appearance. And safely, away from the potential risks of any surgery, and this development has led to a large demand for plastic surgery in Turkey, especially among tourists who go to medical centers equipped with the latest technologies and medical devices.

The medical clinics that provide vaser liposuction are located in major tourist cities, so Istanbul comes at the top of the list, followed by the coastal cities of Mersin, Antalya, and then the capital, Ankara.

How is vaser liposuction performed:

Before resorting to any cosmetic work, an idea must be taken to help understand the procedures that the client will be exposed to:

It is necessary to talk first about the type of anesthesia, where liposuction is performed using vaser through local anesthesia, and general anesthesia may be used if necessary, and sculpting different parts of the body and thus liposuction of a large amount of fat.

Phases of vaser liposuction

First: the stage of introducing fluids

At first, the doctor opens a small incision that does not exceed 10 mm, through which a medical probe of no more than 3 mm is inserted into the operation site, After that, a small tube is inserted through which fluids containing saline and local anesthetic are pumped into the desired place for liposuction to secure the narrowing of the blood vessels and thus prevent bleeding or bruising.

Second: The stage of fat breakdown

A tube for liposuction is inserted from the same incision that was made previously. At this stage, high-frequency ultrasound waves are emitted and these waves break down and melt the fatty tissue.

Third: Liposuction stage

Here the probe is withdrawn and the liposuction channel that has been dissolved is inserted through the same incision, and the same steps are repeated until all the fat to be removed is completed. Finally, the incision is surgically closed, and the patient waits to regain consciousness

Post-operative procedures:

1. The patient has to take a recovery period ranging from 10 days to two weeks.
2. The medical skin compression corset must also be worn for a period of no less than two months.
3. Some of the fluid is left in the patient’s body, the body absorbs it within a few days, but the doctor may resort to installing a fluid infusion hose within three days after the operation.
