What is Liposuction 3 Zones?
Three-zone liposuction removes stubborn fat from three targeted body areas in a single surgery, offering a significant step toward comprehensive body contouring. Popular combinations include the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. At MedProper, your procedure takes place in a JCI and TEMOS-accredited Istanbul hospital with an experienced plastic surgery team.
How Does Liposuction 3 Zones Work?
- 1During your standing consultation, your surgeon identifies and marks the three target zones for optimal symmetry.
- 2Tumescent solution is carefully infiltrated into each zone to minimise bleeding and improve fat removal efficiency.
- 3Using a thin cannula through small concealed incisions, the surgeon sculpts each area in sequence, starting with the largest zone.
- 4Continuous cross-referencing between zones ensures proportional, balanced results throughout the procedure.
- 5All incisions are closed, and a comprehensive compression garment system is applied.
Who is a Good Candidate for Liposuction 3 Zones?
- Patients near their ideal weight with three distinct fat deposits unresponsive to lifestyle changes
- Those seeking a noticeable transformation across multiple areas in a single surgical event
- Individuals with good skin elasticity across the treatment zones
- Non-smokers in good general health without uncontrolled medical conditions
- Patients with realistic expectations who understand the contouring rather than weight-loss nature of liposuction
Why Choose Liposuction 3 Zones at MedProper?
Multi-Area Transformation
Addressing three zones simultaneously delivers a more dramatic and cohesive body reshaping result than treating areas individually.
One Recovery Period
Combining three zones into one surgery means a single anaesthesia event, one recovery timeline, and one trip to Istanbul.
Surgeon's Holistic View
Operating on multiple areas at once gives your surgeon the ability to sculpt with the whole body silhouette in mind.
Significant Cost Savings
A three-zone package at MedProper costs substantially less than three individual procedures booked separately.
What is the Recovery Timeline?
Days 1-3
Post-Operative Rest
Noticeable swelling and bruising across treated areas. Compression garments worn continuously. Pain controlled with medication.
Days 4-10
Gradual Improvement
Swelling peaks around day 3-4 then steadily subsides. Light walking helps reduce fluid retention.
Weeks 2-4
Return to Work
Most patients resume desk work by week two. Compression garment transitions to daytime wear only.
Weeks 4-8
Reintroducing Exercise
Light gym work and cardio can restart around week six. Areas continue to soften and refine.
Months 3-6
Final Contour Revealed
Residual swelling fully resolves and the sculpted results across all three zones become fully visible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, provided the total fat volume removed stays within safe limits (typically under 5 litres). Your surgeon plans the distribution across zones to prioritise safety.
Common groupings include abdomen + flanks + thighs, abdomen + flanks + upper arms, and abdomen + bra roll + flanks.
Drains are not routinely required for liposuction at MedProper. In rare cases where a larger volume is removed, a small drain may be placed temporarily.
MedProper recommends a stay of 6-7 days, which includes pre-operative preparation, surgery, and a post-operative check-up before your departure.
Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten loose skin or repair separated abdominal muscles. If you have significant skin laxity, your surgeon may recommend combining liposuction with abdominoplasty.
