This advanced technique allows skilled surgeons to sculpt and refine body contours, helping patients achieve their desired silhouette with precision and artistry. As a cornerstone of modern body shaping, liposuction has evolved significantly since its inception, incorporating cutting-edge technologies and refined methodologies to enhance both results and patient safety.
Liposuction’s versatility and effectiveness have made it one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures worldwide. By selectively removing excess fat from specific areas of the body, this technique can address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, from subtle refinements to more dramatic transformations. Dr. Erhan Güneri, a distinguished expert in the field, approaches liposuction as both a science and an art, combining meticulous surgical skill with an keen aesthetic eye to deliver natural-looking, harmonious results that enhance each patient’s unique physique.
What Is Liposuction Surgery?
Liposuction surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, thereby improving body contours and proportion. This advanced technique has revolutionized body sculpting, offering patients a way to address stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Erhan Güneri, a highly skilled plastic surgeon, specializes in performing liposuction procedures tailored to each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals.
The primary purpose of liposuction is not weight loss, but rather body contouring. It’s an effective method for targeting localized fat deposits in various areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen and waistline
- Hips and flanks (love handles)
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Buttocks
- Arms
- Chin and neck
- Back and bra roll area
- Chest (particularly in men with gynecomastia)
Liposuction works by physically removing fat cells from the body. Once these cells are removed, they do not regenerate. However, it’s important to note that remaining fat cells can still expand if a patient gains weight post-procedure. This is why maintaining a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle is crucial for long-lasting results.
What Is The Procedure Done For Liposuction?
Dr. Erhan Güneri performs liposuction through a carefully planned and executed process:
- Consultation and Planning: The surgeon assesses the patient’s needs and marks treatment areas.
- Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered based on the procedure’s extent.
- Tumescent Solution Injection: A solution containing saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine is injected to minimize bleeding and discomfort.
- Incisions: Small, strategically placed incisions are made near treatment areas.
- Fat Removal: A cannula is inserted through incisions to break up and suction out fat cells.
- Contouring: The surgeon carefully sculpts the area for smooth, natural-looking results.
- Closure: Incisions are closed, and compression garments are applied.
The procedure’s duration varies depending on the treated areas. Dr. Güneri may use specific techniques like power-assisted or ultrasound-assisted liposuction for optimal results. Post-operative care instructions are provided to ensure proper healing and best outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions About Liposuction
Liposuction, as performed by Dr. Erhan Güneri, involves minimal pain during the procedure due to anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is typically described as moderate and manageable. Patients may experience:
- Soreness and tenderness in treated areas for several days
- Discomfort managed with prescribed pain medication
- Gradual improvement over 1-2 weeks
- Some residual sensitivity for a few weeks
Dr. Güneri employs advanced techniques to minimize post-operative pain and ensure a comfortable recovery process.
Recovery from liposuction varies, but generally follows this timeline:
- 1-2 days: Rest at home
- 1 week: Return to light activities
- 2-3 weeks: Resume normal activities
- 4-6 weeks: Swelling significantly reduces
- 3-6 months: Final results become visible
Dr. Güneri provides personalized post-operative instructions to optimize healing and results.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but a body contouring technique. Typically:
- 2-5 pounds of fat may be removed per treated area
- Total fat removal is usually limited to 11 pounds for safety
- Results are measured in inches lost rather than pounds
Dr. Erhan Güneri emphasizes that liposuction is most effective for targeting specific areas of stubborn fat rather than overall weight reduction.
While fat cells removed during liposuction don’t return, remaining fat cells can expand if weight is gained. To maintain results:
- Adhere to a healthy diet and exercise routine
- Maintain a stable weight
- Follow Dr. Güneri’s post-operative care instructions
Fat distribution may change if significant weight is gained post-procedure.
Liposuction can significantly improve abdominal contour, but results depend on individual factors:
- Amount of fat present
- Skin elasticity
- Presence of loose skin or muscle separation
For optimal abdominal flattening, Dr. Güneri may recommend combining liposuction with other procedures like abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) in some cases. A personalized consultation will determine the most effective approach for each patient’s goals.
