Laser liposuction:
In this way, lasers are used to dissolve accumulated fat and facilitate suction.

The side effects that may occur with the operation are mild as mentioned and disappear shortly after the operation is over.
Tips after liposuction in Turkey
To ensure the best result required, there are some instructions to consider, the most important of which are:

following doctor's instructions after the operation such as using bandages to relieve swelling, taking medications such as antibiotics and appropriate analgesics, excess fluids intake, avoiding strenuous activities or tired work during the first two weeks of the operation, and quitting smoking.

Adherence to a healthy and balanced diet: The body's ability to accumulate fat is not affected by suction, so returning to a diet containing unhealthy fat leads to accumulation again and weight gain. A balanced diet depends on the availability of non-fatty protein sources as well as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while moving away from saturated fats and processed sugars.
-
Regular exercise: from light walking after the operation to adhering to an integrated and continuous sports program to avoid the return of fat accumulation, maintain body health, and prevent blood clots.
