Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in Turkey. It aims to reshape specific regions of the body — improving body contours and proportions by removing stubborn, unwanted body fat.

Treatable areas of the body can include the thighs, arms, hips, waist, back, chest and chin.

Liposuction in Turkey is performed under general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation.
