Questions and answers
How long do liposuction results last?
Selçuk Aytaç
17 years of experience
The results are permanent and last for a lifetime.
Will a stomach become flat after a liposuction?
If a patient’s skin is elastic enough, yes. But if not — then we recommend tummy tuck in such cases.
Is it possible to perform fat transfer from the stomach to the breasts? When is this procedure indicated?
We sometimes do this operation. Some patients do not want to place any implants, so we perform a fat transfer.
Why Choose Istanbul for Liposuction?
Istanbul is the cultural capital of Turkey. Over 5,000,000 people is a total tourist flow per year, and 500,000 of them head to Istanbul for medical tourism purposes. So why do thousands of people pick Istanbul to do aesthetic operations, including liposuction?
Bookimed cooperates with 49 liposuction clinics in Istanbul. Let’s check what they offer:
- Good prices. The cost for liposuction in Istanbul is 2-5 times lower than in American or British cities. For instance, clinics in Istanbul perform liposuction for $900-$1,500, while UK or US ones for $3,000-$6,000 per area.
- Packages. A primary benefit of pickining plastic surgery clinics in Istanbul is that they offer packages with all services coverage. It means that for the price you see listed on the page, you also receive airport pickup, accommodation, and interpreting services.
- Board-certified doctors. Despite low prices for liposuction in Istanbul, the local doctor’s skills level is high. Specialists permanently develop their skills, get new knowledge and techniques overseas; they are members of authoritative liposuction societies and associations.
How Much Does Liposuction Cost in Istanbul?
The cost for liposuction in Istanbul starts at $1,000. However the most common prices are about $3,200.
The price for a procedure is typically determined by such factors:
- Clinic’s reputation. The medical facilities with international recognition, proper certificates usually provide a 10-15% higher price list than the average one across the city. Also, the clinics serving local and inbound celebs can also increase costs.
- Doctor’s experience. Plastic surgeon’s skill level is a primary factor affecting an ultimate liposuction price. More experienced specialists typically ask for a higher fee than their less practiced colleagues. In this case, be ready to pay 10-20% above an average liposuction price.
- Service coverage level. Some liposuction clinics offer VIP transfer with a private driver, arrange tourist tours, and provide rooms in a 5-star hotel. The offers with such conditions usually cost more than those ones with general airport pickup and accommodation in a 4-star hotel.

Liposuction is performed in the Plastic Surgery Department. The procedure is conducted the next day after lab analysis and consultation with a plastic surgeon and an anesthesiologist.
In some cases, a doctor prescribes sessions of lymph drainage massage before liposuction.
The lipo is carried out under local or general anesthesia. The operation time is 30 minutes - 6 hours. It depends on the size of operated area and amount of fat to be taken.
The hospitalization is not necessary in most of the cases. After the surgery, a patient wears a special corset for 3 weeks. In 2 weeks after liposuction a patient can walk long distances, in 3 weeks - run.
The swelling and scars completely disappear in 3-9 months.
Medicana offers the affordable liposuction prices. The liposuction cost is determined individually. It is affected by the size of operated area and the type of anesthesia.

The patient underwent liposuction in Istanbul Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center
From initial stages of contact with Abdul in Bookimed things went very smoothly. He explained in great detail the procedure, costs, extras included. Extremely efficient. The hotel was of a lower standard than I expected, but clean and food was very good. The surgeon was clear and straight forward and managed my expectations very well given my body shape. Nursing and care staff were exceptionally kind. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction, and results far exceeded my hopes and dreams. I would strongly recommend Bookimed and Dr. Ergin. And a special thanks to Abdul who provided support throughout.

Carlo even checked up on me once I was home through my recover several times. I will admit I was scared at first about leaving the US to have the surgery but I’m so glad I did it!

Hi, ich hatte eine Bruststraffung mit Implantaten und möchte meine Erfahrungen gerne teilen. Ich wurde vom Flughafen abgeholt und ins Hotel gefahren, was super geklappt hat!Da ich erst am nächsten Tag den Op Termin hatte, habe ich die erste Nacht im Hotel geschlafen und wurde dann morgens von meiner Dolmetscherin Nevin abgeholt und in die Klinik gebracht die wirklich nur zwei Minuten zu Fuß entfernt war! Dort angekommen wartete mein Op Arzt Dr. Ergin Er schon auf mich um die Op endgültig nach meinen Wünschen vorzuplanen ich fühlt mich sehr gut aufgehoben! Seine Art beruhigt einen also mich hat sie beruhigt. Alles abgesprochen ging es weiter zur Blutabnahme die Ärztin für die Narkose stellte mir einige Fragen ob ich Medikamente nehme oder an Krankheiten leite etc. halbe Stunde später war ich schon in der Op. 3 Stunden war ich in Narkose die üblichen Dinge die sich kaum vermeiden lassen zb Übelkeit oder schmerzen nach der Narkose sind auch mir passiert aber dem sollte man sich im Klaren sein wenn man plant eine Operation zu machen! Genauso wie man nicht kalt kochen kann kann man auch schmerzen nach einer Operation nicht vermeiden, lindern durch schmerztabletten. Man bekommt Antibiotika und Schmerzmittel. Ein Tag später konnte ich im Hotel schon schlafen und zwei Tage später wurden die drainagen gezogen (unangenehm aber auszuhalten, müssen sowieso raus). Das Hotel sehr schön sauber riecht so lecker irgendwie und die Hotelfachangestellten super nett und zuvorkommend. Sie wissen das man eine Operation hatte und sind sehr hilfsbereit. Essen top! Man geht dann ab und zu so wie es der Dr. veranlasst zu Kontrolle ansonsten you need to rest und am letzten (7.) Tag geht man zum verbandwechsel und wird dann zum Flughafen von den zuständigen gestellten Taxen gebracht auch nette Leute sehr hilfsbereit! Ich habe nichts negatives zu sagen weil nichts vorgefallen ist was mich verärgert oder enttäuscht hat! Wer sich hier behandeln lassen möchte macht alles richtig 👍 ich bin sehr zufrieden und froh das ich durch bin 😁 An die Raucher man soll nicht rauchen ja, aber wer raucht sollte sich vorher um Zigaretten kümmern es gibt keine Automaten oder Zigaretten zu kaufen in der Nähe! Ciao 👋

FAQ about Liposuction
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a plastic operation to remove a certain amount of fatty tissue through small punctures on the skin using specialized equipment. The lipo is divided into different types depending on the area should be operated (abdominal liposuction, buttock liposuction, neck lipo, knee liposuction, and so on).
|
BMI (body mass index) |
under 35 kg/m2 |
Who benefits the lipo?
The main indication for the surgery is excess fat that deforms the body contours. Surgeons perform liposuction locally, in particular on the abdomen, thighs, knees, neck, buttocks, etc.
The procedure is suitable for people who have excess weight with BMI (body mass index) under 35. For overweight people, lipo is an excellent option to get a perfect body and regain your figure factly.
Liposuction is best for people with the right skin tone and elasticity because it forms a new contour of the body without wrinkles.
A person must be over 18 years old and have good health status. Those with severe chronic illnesses cannot undergo this procedure.
What is preoperative preparation for liposuction?
Before liposuction, a patient undergoes the lab tests. They include blood and urine analysis, ECG.
A plastic surgeon examines a patient and discusses the volume of intervention. Then an anesthesiologist determines the type of anesthesia.
If there are no contraindications, the liposuction is assigned the next day.
What is the liposuction process?
Doctors conduct liposuction under local or general anesthesia. The anesthetic type depends on the location of the problem area and its size.
Then a plastic surgeon starts liposuction. A specialist uses a thin tube-shaped instrument called a cannula. Through the 3-6 mm incisions, fat is pumped out.
The procedure is carried out very slowly and carefully to avoid the nerves and vessel injuries, to save asymmetry of body contours.
The liposuction of one area takes 1-1.5 hours. If a doctor operates several areas, the duration of the procedure is prolonged up to 5 hours.
In some cases, specialists perform abdominoplasty after abdomen liposuction. It helps to achieve a better result and avoid asymmetry.
Find out more information on the lipo surgery process in the video.
What rules should I follow during postoperative rehabilitation?
Just after the surgery, a doctor places a special bandage on the operating area. It speeds up the recovery of tissues, reduces swelling, and improves skin retraction. This bandage is prescribed to be worn for 4-10 weeks.
The hospitalization after liposuction is 2 days in most cases. If there are no complications, and the area for surgical intervention is small, a patient is discharged after the procedure. In other cases, liposuction takes up to 2 days.
A patient stays in the country for 10 days. The sutures are removed in 7 days. A patient can return to the usual lifestyle in 2-3 weeks.
To maintain the new body shape, it is necessary to keep a diet and lead an active lifestyle — otherwise, the overweight returns.
What results can I expect after liposuction?
Liposuction results are not noticeable until the swelling decreases. In some cases, this process may take several months. Most of the edema (swelling caused by fluid retention) reduces in about 4 weeks, and the area where the fat has been removed becomes less extensive.
People keeping fit usually get excellent and consistent results. Those gaining weight after the procedure may find that their fat distribution changes. For example, people who previously have had fat accumulation in their thighs may find that their buttocks are becoming a new problem area.
What are the risks of lipo?
Any serious surgery is associated with a risk of bleeding, infection, and an adverse reaction to anesthesia.
The risk of complications is usually related to the procedure extensiveness and surgeon’s skills.
The following risks, unpleasant side effects or complications are possible:
- bruising — can last for several weeks
- inflammation — may take up to 6 months
- thrombophlebitis — a blood clot in a vein formation
- contours roughness — if the skin has low elasticity, the skin may look saggy and wavy
- numbness — the affected area may feel numb, but usually, it is temporary
- infections — rarely, skin infection may occur after liposuction surgery; sometimes it needs to be treated surgically, with the risk of scarring
- kidney or heart problems — as fluids are injected during the operation, changes in fluid levels in the body can cause kidney or heart problems (therefore, there is a limit on the amount of fat removed)
- pulmonary embolism — fat enters the blood vessels and lungs, blocking blood circulation in the lungs
- allergic reaction — the patient may be allergic to drugs or materials used during the surgery
- skin burns — the cannula movement can cause injuries on the skin that is especially characteristic for ultrasonic and laser liposuction.
What areas are intended for liposuction?
The lipo is performed on the following body areas:

I had a wonderful experience with the saluss group. Mehmet was an amazing companion and made sure i was properly looked after. The nurses at the hospital were INCREDIBLE despite the language barrier and went out of their way to make sure i was ok. The Dr was brilliant! I am so happy!
