What is Liposuction 1 Zone?
Single-zone liposuction targets one specific area of stubborn fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, or upper arms. It is ideal for patients who are near their goal weight but have a localised fat pocket that does not respond to diet and exercise. At MedProper, the procedure is performed in an accredited Istanbul hospital using tumescent technique for precision and safety.
How Does Liposuction 1 Zone Work?
- 1Your surgeon assesses and marks the target zone while you are standing to ensure accurate contouring.
- 2Tumescent solution is infiltrated into the treatment area to numb the tissue and reduce bleeding.
- 3A thin cannula is inserted through a discreet 3-4 mm incision to loosen and suction out fat cells.
- 4The surgeon sculpts the area gradually, checking symmetry and contour throughout the procedure.
- 5The incision is closed and a compression garment is applied to support healing and skin retraction.
Who is a Good Candidate for Liposuction 1 Zone?
- Adults close to their ideal weight with a single stubborn fat deposit resistant to lifestyle measures
- Patients with firm, elastic skin in the treatment area for good post-operative retraction
- Non-smokers or individuals prepared to quit smoking at least four weeks before surgery
- Those seeking a targeted improvement without the scope of multi-zone liposuction
Why Choose Liposuction 1 Zone at MedProper?
Focused Precision
Treating a single zone allows the surgeon to dedicate full attention to sculpting one area for an optimal, natural-looking contour.
Shorter Procedure Time
A one-zone session typically takes under an hour, reducing time under anaesthesia and overall physiological stress.
Faster Recovery
With only one area treated, swelling and discomfort are more limited, and most patients return to daily activities sooner.
Cost-Effective Entry Point
Single-zone liposuction offers the benefits of surgical fat removal at a lower investment, with the option to add zones later.
What is the Recovery Timeline?
Days 1-3
Early Healing
Mild to moderate swelling and bruising in the treated area. Compression garment worn continuously. Light walking recommended.
Days 4-7
Improving Comfort
Bruising begins to yellow and swelling reduces. Most patients manage well with over-the-counter pain relief.
Weeks 2-3
Return to Work
Desk-based work can resume within 7-10 days. Compression garment continues during the day.
Weeks 4-6
Resuming Exercise
Light cardio and non-impact exercise can restart. The treated area continues to refine as swelling resolves.
Months 3-6
Final Contour
Residual swelling fully subsides, revealing the final sculpted shape. Scars fade to faint lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common single zones include the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, love handles (flanks), inner thighs, outer thighs, upper arms, or chin/neck. Your surgeon will confirm the zone boundaries during consultation.
Yes. Many patients start with one zone and return for additional areas once they see the results. MedProper offers multi-zone packages for future sessions.
Smaller areas like the chin can be done under local anaesthesia. Larger zones such as the abdomen are typically more comfortable under general anaesthesia. Your surgeon will recommend the best option.
This depends on the zone size and your anatomy, but typically 0.5-2 litres per zone. The goal is contouring rather than weight loss.
Removed fat cells are gone permanently. However, significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, so maintaining a stable weight is important.
