Where Can Fat Be Transferred On the Body After Liposuction?

Liposuction surgery is ideal for those who are at their ideal weight, have a healthy eating rhythm, and cannot save themselves from regional fat deposits, although they see regular exercise as a lifestyle.

In the fat removal method, the technique suitable for the person is selected according to the needs. From which part of the body fat will be taken, the treatment is named regionally with the name of that region.

• Facial fat removal (cheek-jowl…)

• Hip fat removal

• Abdominal-belly fat removal

• Arm fat removal

• Back fat removal

• Leg fat removal

The fat to be taken from the areas with regional excess fat is performed with the liposuction technique, the effect of which has been proven for the relevant area.

We asked liposuction areas and liposuction methods to Ebru Sen MD: 

1. Facial Fat Removal (Cheek-Cheekbone)

In people with excess fat in the chin and neck area, this is called a "double chin" deformity because it is perceived as if there is a second chin.

This situation, which is often observed in the images of overweight people, can also occur in normal weight or thin people.

People with double chin, jowl and neck area where the neck shows an oblique appearance starting from the chin are suitable candidates for liposuction operation.

2. Back Fat Removal

The term “Buffalo hump” is used to describe the abnormal fat accumulation in the upper back and lower neck.

It is usually the result of obesity, after steroid therapy, or due to the body's overproduction of certain steroid hormones.

If there is a hormonal disorder and steroid drug use, this condition should be treated or regulated first.

In these treated patients, in cases of ongoing adiposity and in obese patients, liposuction surgery is generally preferred to get rid of this non-aesthetic appearance.

The fat collected in the back area is not limited to the “Buffalo hump”. Liposuction also provides a good body shaping in people with fat and folds in the back area.

The lubrication in the waist area, which is called the “love handle”, is often seen even in thin people. In this case, liposuction is the right option.

3. Arm Fat Removal

One of the most difficult areas to lose weight and compensate for deformity is the upper arm region.

Liposuction surgery is also recommended for the treatment of sagging and greasy arms that resemble bat wings. All liposuction methods can be used.

Your doctor will decide which is best for you.

In these people, in addition to fat removal, arm stretching can also be added.

4. Abdominal Fat Removal

The belly area is one of the areas where both men and women complain the most about the accumulation of fat and the inability to melt fat.

Belly fat removal is one of the most common areas of liposuction surgery. All liposuction techniques give good results in belly fat removal surgery.

It increases the success of the abdominal wall, that is, the muscles are strong, there is no intra-abdominal lubrication, more fat is under the skin, the skin quality is good, that is, the treatment of it is not too much sagging.

Abdominal region and waist region should be considered as a whole.

If there is poor skin quality in the abdomen or separation in the muscles, the result will be more successful if liposuction is performed in combination with tummy tuck surgery.

5. Hip Fat Removal

Hip fat is the region of the body's resistant regional lubrication. Hip fat removal is the ideal treatment for people who cannot get rid of their hip fat despite sports and diet.

All liposuction techniques, especially classical liposuction surgery, can be planned for hip fat removal surgery.

6. Leg Fat Removal

Leg liposuction, also known as leg fat removal, differs according to the leg area to be treated.

There are 4 areas where fat can be removed from the leg, namely the upper leg area, the knee, the lower leg area and the ankle. The process for each zone is different due to the zone structure.

The process of removing fat from the lower leg, that is, from the area that extends from the bottom of the knee to the ankle, is more difficult and complicated than the process of removing fat from the upper leg.

The skin in this area is thin, and the fat layer is a single layer. When it comes to fat removal from the leg, the fat layers that have accumulated in the ankle and knee area also come to mind.

In these areas, controlled liposuction should be performed with thinner cannulas. The skin is not loose, there is no need for laser liposuction.

Regardless of the technique, we recommend using a corset for 4-6 weeks.
