Liposuction
Liposuction or lipo is the process of removing fat cells from the areas of the body that contain excess fat with the help of various tools without making any incisions, but by suction holes. Liposuction can be applied to many areas of the body. These areas include the abdomen, waist, back, chest, thighs, upper arms and neck. Thanks to liposuction, body areas with a disproportionate appearance are made more harmonious. It is necessary to clarify a very common mistake about liposuction surgery. Liposuction surgery is not a weight loss surgery. It is the process of removing pockets of fat from these areas in people with normal or near-normal weight. It gives better results in people with firm and thick skin quality.

We're with you at every step of the operation.
Here you will find some useful information that will help you prepare for your plastic surgery, prepare the necessary setup to avoid any problems that may arise, and make the necessary arrangements to ensure that everything goes smoothly during your stay in Turkiye.
Your journey for your aesthetic surgery will begin with a consultation with our famous aesthetic surgeon in Istanbul. This meeting will last about 30 minutes.
During your in person consultation with our famous plastic surgeon Dr. Burak Pasinlioğlu, you can ask all the questions you have in mind about the operation. It may be a good idea to write down all your questions before the consultation. Our doctor will get familiar with all your expectations and provide you detailed information about this subject by determining what is possible for your anatomy. In addition, our doctor will explain to you how the operation process will proceed after answering all your questions.
It is important to consider the following before you turn up for your cosmetic surgery.
Quit smoking: Smoking reduces blood flow in the skin. For this reason, we recommend that you quit smoking six weeks before the operation and during the recovery period in order to have a faster recovery process after the operation.
Minimise alcohol: Try to minimise alcohol drinking before the operation. Do not drink alcohol on the day of the operation or stop drinking a few days before. After the operation is completed, you are not allowed to drink alcohol until the medication given to you is finished. Our doctor and team will warn you about this.
General anaesthesia: Your operation will be performed under general anaesthesia. Eat eight hours before the operation. Don't drink water or eat less than six hours before the operation.
On the day of your operation, our transfer vehicle will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the hospital where the operation will take place. Before the operation, you will have a preliminary in person meeting with our doctor and our team once again. As a result of this preliminary meeting, drawings will be made and photos will be taken according to your expectations.
Your aesthetic surgery will end with drawing being made, check of blood tests, operation, hospital stay, discharge and follow-up process.
You may feel a little sleepy and tired after your aesthetic surgery. This condition will decrease after one or two hours of rest.
Our doctor will provide you information about the operation during discharge. They will explain what you should pay attention to after the operation and the use of medication. We expect you to take your medication regularly. You may feel a little sluggish and tired after the operation. This condition, can be taken under control with the painkillers prescribed to you.
During the recovery process, our teams will call you to ask about your condition and ask you for a photo. An online consultation will be made with you by communicating your recovery process to our doctor.
Testimonials About Our Services
My experience with Dr Burak was amazing I flew from Spain and it was the best decision ever, excellent job and so professional I recommend it for sure
I have been Burak's patient for a long time. He has been successfully delivering his services at the best of quality and profession. His Clinic TrustMed is also a beautiful, comfortable and hygienic place equipped with clean and high-tech equipment. I would recommend him for any plastic surgeries.
I had prominent ear surgery a 2month ago and I was very pleased with the result. Doctor Burak is a very friendly, kind and talented doctor, he performed the surgery as I wanted and produced a wonderful result, I'm really gratefull to him and I'm going to tell everyone about my experience..
Though still active, by my late 40s I had grown some small love handles and a bit of a tummy. I found Quartz Clinique on Google but was impressed enough by videos and reviews to schedule a trip to do a hi-def lipo procedure with Dr. Burak. Literally overnight (after a 6 hour surgery under general anesthesia), my sides are now flat and I have 6-pack abs that I had no idea were under there! A year later I’m still amazed every time I see myself in a mirror. I’ve just made another trip because I discovered just how many services they perform, and at a fraction of the price of doing the same work in the U.S., but I’m realizing I’m remiss for not gushing about my experience last summer, which was transformational. As everyone attests, Dr. Burak could not be more kind or professional. After a consultation you walk away feeling 100% trust, and then he delivers on exactly what he says he’ll do. I can’t recommend him highly enough…
Thanks Dr. Burak for so amazing job, i’m more than happy with these amazing results, may god protect your amazing hands, for continuing making people smile and good looking

Frequently asked questions about liposuction
You can find detailed information about the operation and organisation before you come to Turkiye. You can contact your sales representative for any other questions you may have.
Good candidates for liposuction are individuals who have localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, are within a stable weight range, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
Liposuction involves making small incisions in the target area, inserting a thin tube called a cannula to loosen and suction out fat cells, and sculpting the desired contour.
Liposuction can be performed on various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, back, chest, neck, and chin.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but rather a body contouring technique designed to remove localized pockets of fat and improve body shape.
The duration of liposuction surgery varies depending on the number of areas treated and the amount of fat removed but typically ranges from one to three hours.
Liposuction typically does not affect future pregnancies, but significant weight fluctuations or additional pregnancies may alter the results of the procedure.
Yes, liposuction can be an effective treatment for gynecomastia by removing excess breast tissue and fat to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine can help optimize and maintain the results of liposuction.
Liposuction can improve mild skin laxity, but significant skin tightening may require additional procedures such as skin excision or laser therapy.
While liposuction can improve the appearance of cellulite in some cases, it is not specifically designed to treat cellulite.
Yes, liposuction can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), breast augmentation, or body lift for comprehensive body contouring results.
Risks and complications of liposuction may include infection, bleeding, fluid accumulation, changes in sensation, contour irregularities, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. However, serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified surgeon.
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent new fat accumulation in treated areas.
While some results are visible immediately after surgery, final results typically become apparent as swelling subsides over several weeks to months.
Scarring from liposuction is minimal and typically fades over time. Incisions are small and strategically placed to minimize visibility.
The recovery process after liposuction involves wearing compression garments, managing discomfort with pain medication, avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks, and attending follow-up appointments with the surgeon.
Liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's preference.

With reputable healthcare facilities, experienced plastic surgeons, and modern infrastructure, Turkey enhances the success rate of liposuction procedures. Those opting for liposuction in Turkey can benefit from expertise, reliability, and competitive pricing.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to remove unwanted fat deposits from the body. In this procedure, fat cells are suctioned out of the body using a vacuum device or suction tube. Liposuction is commonly used to eliminate excess fat in the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, and neck. This procedure can help reshape the body contours and achieve a more defined appearance for those seeking it. However, liposuction is not intended as a method for weight loss; rather, it is performed for body contouring purposes and should be complemented by a healthy lifestyle.
Why Should You Get Your Liposuction In Turkey?
- Cost: Liposuction in Turkey is more affordable than in many Western countries without compromising the quality of the operation.
- Qualified Surgeons: Turkey has well-trained and qualified plastic surgeons who have received education and training from reputable institutions.
- Modern Facilities: Many private clinics and hospitals such as TrustMed in Turkey are equipped with modern facilities and adhere to international standards.
- Privacy: You may prefer to undergo your Liposuction in Turkey, away from your local community for added privacy. Turkey offers a degree of anonymity for individuals seeking cosmetic surgery.
What Are Some Liposuction Methods?
- Vaser Liposuction: A technique that uses ultrasonic energy to break down and remove fat cells. This method allows for more precise targeting of fat tissue and may also have skin-tightening capabilities.
- Laser Liposuction: A technique that uses laser energy to liquefy and remove fat cells. This method improves body contours and may also provide skin-tightening effects.
- Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): A technique that uses a vibrating cannula to facilitate the removal of fat cells. This method allows for more precise surgical control and may shorten the duration of the operation.
- Tumescent Liposuction: A technique that involves injecting a large amount of fluid into the body through a thin cannula to swell the fat tissue. This method can reduce blood loss and minimize pain during the procedure.
- 360 Liposuction: It is a liposuction technique that involves a complete revolution around the body, targeting fat in areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, hips, and thighs. This method is typically used for overall body reshaping purposes. The term "360" indicates that the procedure provides full coverage around the body, encompassing a 360-degree approach. In this way, instead of focusing on a specific area, it targets all excess fat tissue around the body, reshaping body contours more evenly. 360 liposuction is ideal for enhancing the overall body shape, providing a defined waistline, and achieving a slimmer waist. This technique allows for a more uniform improvement in body contours and a more balanced aesthetic appearance.
