Lipofilling (Fat Grafting) in Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner
About the clinic
Lipofilling, also known as fat grafting, at the clinic of Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner in Istanbul, Turkey, is a natural way to restore volume using your own body fat. This procedure is common for facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, and body contouring without using foreign implants. Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner is a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery and serves as a faculty member at Istanbul Nişantaşı University.
The Fat Grafting Process
The procedure uses your own fat to add volume where it is needed. Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner first harvests fat from areas like the lower abdomen or inner thighs. These sites are preferred because they have a higher stem cell content. The surgeon then injects the processed fat into the face, breasts, buttocks, or legs. Using your own tissue provides a natural look and removes the risk of an allergic reaction to foreign materials.
Recovery and Results
The treatment is usually performed under local or general anesthesia. Most patients go home on the same day as the surgery. Recovery is fast, and most people return to their daily routine within 2-3 days. While swelling lasts about 2-3 weeks, the final natural appearance shows after 3 weeks. Improvements in fine details continue for up to 6 months after the procedure.
- Injection sites: Cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, breasts, and buttocks.
- Anesthesia: Local or general based on the volume needed.
- Hospital stay: Same-day discharge.
- Downtime: 2-3 days before returning to work.
Long-term Outcomes
It is normal for the body to absorb about 30-40% of the injected fat over time. The remaining fat stays permanently, though it will change if your body weight fluctuates. To maintain the best results, Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner may suggest repeat sessions every 3-4 months for the face. For larger body areas, sessions are typically spaced 6 months apart. This helps build volume gradually for a smoother look.

Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner: more details about the clinic
Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner is a private plastic surgery practice in Istanbul's Nişantaşı district. The clinic focuses on aesthetic surgery and non-surgical beauty treatments. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner leads the medical team, offering surgical solutions for body contouring and facial rejuvenation.
Medical Expertise and Leadership
Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner heads this single-doctor practice. He specializes in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. He completed his medical education at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine and later trained at Bülent Ecevit University.
Two doctors oversee all patient care. Surgical appointments follow a pre-examination to determine the best approach. The clinic uses a patient-focused model for both surgical and minimally invasive procedures.
Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
The clinic performs surgical procedures for the body and face. Surgeons use 360 liposuction to target the abdomen, waist, and back at once. This treats multiple areas in one session for more balanced results.
Specialists offer several body and facial procedures:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
- Arm and thigh tightening
- Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
- Eyelid surgery
- Genital aesthetics including labiaplasty and vaginoplasty
Genital surgeries like vaginoplasty typically take 30–60 minutes. Healing is usually complete within 30 days. Most surgical patients leave the hospital within 24 hours.
Mammology and Breast Aesthetics
The clinic offers breast surgery options for women and men. Mastopexy (breast lift) is performed under general anesthesia to reshape sagging tissue. Reduction mammoplasty treats oversized breasts and the physical discomfort they cause.
Male patients can receive treatment for gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Surgeons use liposuction-based techniques to remove excess tissue in about one hour. For advanced cases with sagging skin, they remove a half-moon skin section. This keeps the scar hidden around the nipple.
Advanced Technologies and Methods
The clinic uses specific platforms to improve surgical outcomes and skin quality. Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells while protecting surrounding tissues. This reduces trauma and supports faster recovery.
For patients with loose skin, the clinic uses Renuvion J Plasma. This technology applies cold plasma to tighten skin on the arms, chin, or abdomen. It works alone or with liposuction to improve contouring results.
Non-surgical treatments are available for facial rejuvenation and sweating:
- Botox for dynamic wrinkles and excessive sweating
- PRP therapy for the face, hair, and hands
- Mesotherapy and collagen youth injections
- Facial fat transfer (lipofilling)
Post-Operative Recovery Support
The clinic provides detailed recovery protocols for safe healing. For liposuction and body contouring, patients follow a strict corset use plan. This means wearing the garment 20 hours daily during the first four weeks.
Patient guidance includes specific hygiene and safety steps:
- Showering is typically permitted one day after hospital discharge
- Regular drainage of seroma fluid helps prevent fluid buildup
- Massage supports tissue healing after liposuction
- Recovery plans are customized based on the volume of fat removed
Services for International Patients
The clinic supports patients traveling from outside Turkey through dedicated logistics. A specialized phone line handles requests and appointment scheduling for international visitors. Team members coordinate care before arrival via WhatsApp, phone, and email.
