Yes. MedProper is JCI-accredited and surgery is performed by ISAPS-member board-certified plastic surgeons in a fully equipped hospital with overnight monitoring.

Removed fat cells do not regenerate. However, remaining cells can enlarge if you gain significant weight. Maintaining a stable weight is essential for long-term results.

One to 4 hours depending on zones and technique. Chin liposuction takes about 1 hour. Multi-zone or 360 lipo takes 2.5 to 4 hours.

Traditional liposuction manually breaks fat with a cannula. VASER uses ultrasound to liquefy fat first, allowing smoother results, less tissue trauma, faster recovery, and better fat viability for transfer procedures.

Up to 6 or 7 zones, provided total operating time stays under 4 to 5 hours and fat removal does not exceed 5 litres.

Liposuction is not a cellulite treatment. Cellulite is caused by fibrous bands, not excess fat. Liposuction may slightly improve mild cellulite but can sometimes make it more visible in patients with poor skin elasticity.

Most patients fly home 3 to 5 days after surgery. Single-zone patients may fly as early as day 3; multi-zone patients should wait until day 5 to 7.

Twenty-four hours a day for the first 2 to 3 weeks, then 12 hours a day for another 2 to 3 weeks. Total garment wear is 4 to 6 weeks.

MedProper recommends BMI 30 or below. Patients with BMI 30 to 33 may be considered case by case. Above 33, weight loss is advised first.

Yes. If primarily caused by excess fat, liposuction alone is effective. VASER works particularly well for the male chest. Glandular tissue, if present, is excised through a small areolar incision.

Desk work resumes in 5 to 7 days. Light exercise at 3 to 4 weeks. Full recovery and final results at 3 to 6 months. Compression garment worn for 4 to 6 weeks.

Incisions are 3 to 5 mm and placed in natural creases or hidden areas. Most fade to barely visible marks within 6 to 12 months.

Yes. It is one of the most popular combinations. Liposuction handles the fat, the tummy tuck handles loose skin and muscle separation. One recovery period, lower total cost.

Circumferential liposuction treating the full midsection -- abdomen, flanks, and lower back -- for a balanced, proportional result all the way around.

Yes. Fat harvested through liposuction is purified and injected into the buttocks. MedProper uses VASER for BBL harvesting to maximise fat cell survival.

International guidelines recommend no more than 5 litres per session. MedProper adheres strictly to this limit.

If your BMI is above 30, your surgeon may recommend weight loss first. Liposuction is designed for localised fat that resists diet and exercise, not as a weight-loss tool.

You feel nothing during surgery. Afterwards, most patients describe it as intense muscle soreness. Pain is well-controlled with medication and reduces to mild discomfort by the end of week one.

HD lipo uses VASER to sculpt the body and reveal muscle definition -- abdominal etching, pectoral lines, or an athletic waist. It requires advanced surgical skill and is best for lean patients with good muscle tone.

Liposuction does not directly tighten skin, but skin does retract to some degree, especially in younger patients. VASER and laser techniques promote slightly more retraction. For significant loose skin, a tummy tuck or body lift may be recommended.

Yes. A previous caesarean section does not prevent liposuction. Many women seek it specifically to address fat above and around the C-section scar.

Maintain a stable weight with balanced nutrition, regular exercise (at least 150 minutes moderate activity per week), and adequate hydration. Wear your compression garment as directed during recovery.

Board-certified plastic surgeons, members of ISAPS and TSAPS, with specialist training in body contouring. MedProper holds JCI accreditation, the global gold standard for hospital safety.

Liposuction in the USA typically costs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the number of zones and technique, with VASER and HD sculpting in cities like New York, Miami, and Los Angeles at the top of that range. At MedProper, the same procedures cost from $1,750 (single zone) to $4,465 (VASER Hi-Def) all-inclusive. After adding a return flight ($400 to $700 via Turkish Airlines from major US cities), the total spend is roughly one-third to one-half of the US price.

The price difference reflects structural economics, not a quality gap. Turkey has lower hospital operating costs, a favourable exchange rate, and significantly higher cosmetic surgery volume — the country performs over 1.2 million procedures annually. MedProper uses the same VASER equipment (manufactured by Solta Medical, USA) found in top Manhattan and Beverly Hills clinics, operates in a JCI-accredited hospital, and employs board-certified surgeons with ISAPS membership.
