My experience with liposuction journey in Turkey 2024

Hi, I am Mervet. I know that telling others about your experience with plastic surgery can be very helpful and enlightening. So, I would love to talk about my experience with liposuction in Turkey at Mira clinic in detail, trying to answer most of the questions that one might think about when it comes to liposuction! Let’s start! 

How was my situation before liposuction?

• I always felt embarrassed about my body, I was not fat, but I suffered from stubborn fat in my abdomen, waists, and back. I tried to exercise regularly to improve my body as much as possible. However, I could not get what I wanted since I was so busy that I did not find enough time for exercise. 

• I love going to the beach or swimming pool, but my body did not help me enjoy my time as it should be. So, I started to think about a procedure that could reshape my body and let me do my activities with self-esteem.

• Since It was within 30% of my ideal weight, liposuction was appropriate plastic surgery for me, so I decided to start my journey and search for a good clinic where I could do a successful operation in safe hands. 

Why did I choose Turkey to perform liposuction?

• Turkey was my ideal option to perform my plastic surgery, not because I live there. But, it is very famous for plastic surgery, offering high-quality medical services at very competitive prices. Making such a decision was not easy at all, so I started my research to find the right clinic for me. 

•  After a few weeks of searching, I was directed to the Mira clinic, a reputable clinic in Istanbul. I applied for an online medical consultation that is offered for free. Then, I discussed with the medical specialist the available options for liposuction.

How was I welcomed to perform liposuction at Mira clinic?

•  The medical consultation I received was good, which encouraged me to take one more step forward and visit their clinic. Once I entered the clinic, I certainly was touched by the very warm welcome. They were very kind to me. 

• To be honest, I had been worried a little bit before I had a good conversation with one of their professional medical staff who explained to me how simple the procedure is with the advanced technology they adopt in their clinic.

• In addition, we thoroughly discussed several approaches for my liposuction, ultimately deciding on VASER liposuction, which is one of the most recent and powerful liposuction techniques.

• Finally, the doctor provided me with some important tips that helped me prepare myself perfectly for the operation, like avoiding aspirin or any anti-inflammatory drugs for three weeks, staying away from caffeinated drinks a day before my operation.

How was my liposuction done?

1. As I mentioned, I was advised to perform liposuction using the VASER technique which can powerfully remove my fat deposit from my abdomen, waists, and back. Firstly, my medical history was reviewed. I did a couple of medical tests to be ready for the operation. 

2. Once general anesthesia was administered to me, I fell into a deep sleep. Meanwhile, of course, I could not feel anything. However, I would love to talk about the steps of my liposuction that I was going through simply.

3. My operation started with injecting a medical solution into my areas of treatment, which are the abdomen, waists, and back. This solution protects the body from severe bleeding and swelling during the fat dissolving process.  

4. Then, small incisions were made around my target areas, allowing smooth access of a cannula into the deep fat layers to break up the fat cells and suction them out of the body. Finally, they stitched my incisions and surrounded the area with compression.

Did I follow any instructions after my liposuction?

• You might ask me if I followed any instructions after my operation, actually, yes, I did indeed. It is very important to consider your doctor’s recommendations that help you maximize your results.

•  For me, I took an entire week off from work and avoided strenuous activity for six weeks after my operation. Also, I was advised to drink plenty of water which supports fast recovery.

• Furthermore, I did my best to stay away from direct sunlight and I followed a healthy diet to maintain my results.

How do I feel about my results?

Once I finished my operation, I could notice the change happening to my body, but I got the final results after around six months. Honestly, I am happy with my results. The medical team did such a great job.
