In fat shaping surgery, it is aimed to redistribute body fat to the desired areas in the desired amount. The number and distribution of fat cells are shaped by gender, structural features, and familial structure until puberty. There is no increase in the number of fat cells after puberty. After that, the size of fat cells increases in case of weight gain. Usually, fat is seen in the hips, hips, legs, and abdomen in women, and in the belly and waist in men.
Even if he loses weight with diet and sports in some areas, the fat in some areas does not melt or is less. The fat in the stubborn area creates unwanted images in the body shape. This leads to aesthetic problems. It is fat shaping surgery to absorb fat from unwanted areas with vacuum-assisted systems (liposuction) and transfer fat to areas where volume is desired. The goal is not to lose weight, but to shape the body.
Liposuction is not a weight loss surgery, it is the process of removing small amounts of fat from certain areas despite proper diet and sports. Fat suction can be performed from the chin and neck, hips, upper arms, thighs, breast or chest area, inner side of the knee, back, calves and ankles, abdomen, and waist area. Beforehand, it is planned with a standing examination and drawings from which areas to absorb fat and to which areas to transfer fat. The drugs used by the person for additional diseases and allergies should be questioned in detail, and the patient should share this information with his physician in full.

The procedure is a surgical method and is performed under operating room conditions with local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia. Before the procedure, solutions containing adrenaline and local anesthetic are given to the planned areas. Small entrance holes are opened and the fat tissue is broken down by mechanical, ultrasound, or LASER energy. Then the fat is injected with a vacuum injector. or with the help of a motor. The highest amount of fat that can be taken without putting the patient at risk is 10% of the body weight. The fat taken can be prepared and transferred to the planned areas.
The success of the surgery is directly proportional to skin elasticity. An elastic skin will recover quickly after the procedure and the desired tension will be achieved. Skin elasticity deteriorates in smokers in areas with frequent weight gain and loss, pregnancy, and stretch marks. Sagging occurs in the skin that is discharged. Excess skin should be cut and removed.
Postoperatively, the patient is carried out early. He is discharged 1 day later. He needs to wear a special corset for 3-4 weeks. In the first 3 weeks, there may be swelling, bruises, skin firmness, and decreased sensation. This situation regresses after the 3rd week. The final shape begins to form after the 3rd month.
If the patient gains weight again, it is not possible to gain weight in the same way from the liposuction area. However, undesirable proportions occur in body fat distribution by gaining weight from other regions. For this reason, the procedure is not recommended for patients whose weight is not stable.
