Liposuction in Turkey

Most guidance used in practice treats ~5,000 ml (≈5 L / ~10–11 lb) of aspirate as the threshold for “large-volume” removal in a single session; typical procedures remove 2–4 L for many patients. Exact safe limits depend on overall health, BMI and the surgeon’s judgement. Sometimes procedures are staged rather than exceed a safe single-session volume.

“Lipo 360” (or “360° liposuction”) means circumferential contouring of the midsection, or fat removal around the whole torso (abdomen, flanks/love-handles, and back) to create a continuous, all-around change rather than treating a single spot. Typical cut off fat amounts vary by patient.

There’s no universal number. Many providers prefer patients to be near their target weight and maintain a BMI commonly ≤30, while others will accept higher BMIs (some up to ~35) with extra precautions. Eligibility is individualized: BMI is one factor among overall health, skin quality and surgical risk.

Yes. “Awake” liposuction (usually tumescent technique or local + sedation) is commonly performed and can be safe and effective for appropriately selected patients. The doctor simply avoids general anaesthesia risks and often shortens recovery, but suitability must be assessed case-by-case.

Over-aggressive removal can cause: contour deformities (uneven or lumpy areas), skin irregularities or sagging (especially with poor skin elasticity), depressions/indentations, and in some cases need for revision. Removing excessive volume also raises overall procedural risk. That’s why surgeons aim for safe fat removal volumes and staged procedures when needed.

Terminology varies. “Mega” or “mega-lipo” is used for very large-volume procedures; some sources label >5 L as large-volume and others reserve “mega” for much higher volumes (definitions range, and associated risks rise with volume). In practice, clinicians use precise volume thresholds and extra precautions when calling a case large-volume.

Liposuction removes subcutaneous fat and can make the abdomen flatter and better contoured, but it does not tighten loose skin or repair separated/loose abdominal muscles. If excess skin or muscle laxity is present, an abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck), or combining procedures, is often needed for a truly flat, tightened abdomen.

It depends on goals: for modest, localised fat reduction there are non-surgical options (cryolipolysis/fat-freezing, laser or radiofrequency fat-reduction, ultrasound-based devices, injectable weight-loss medications or energy-based treatments). For contouring with significant skin laxity, a surgical abdominoplasty is an alternative. Lifestyle measures (diet/exercise/medical weight-loss) remain the foundation. Each option has different expected results, downtime and risks.
