What are the reasons for fat accumulation in the body?
The most common cause of fat accumulation in the body is excessive eating or irregular nutrition. If individuals consume more calories (energy) than needed for their daily activities, fat accumulates in their bodies. The tendency for fat to accumulate in certain areas is also influenced by gender and genetic differences. For example, men tend to accumulate fat in the lower abdomen, while women may experience accumulation in the abdomen and hip regions.
How is Liposuction (Fat Removal) Surgery performed?
In liposuction, small incisions of about half a centimeter are made, and cannulas are inserted under the skin to reach the fat tissue. These cannulas are connected to a vacuum device, and the pieces separated from the fat tissue by the cannulas are pulled out using suction.
What should be done before Liposuction (Fat Removal) Surgery?
Liposuction surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. Before the surgery, patients undergo blood tests to check levels of blood, liver and kidney function, clotting values, and screenings for infectious diseases. Chest X-rays assess the condition of the lungs, an electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluates the heart rhythm and cardiac status. Additionally, if the individual has any existing medical conditions, relevant tests are conducted, and consultation is sought from the respective medical department to determine if there are any impediments to undergoing surgery.
