How to Lose Belly Fat Before Vacation

Despite intense sports or diet, it is not always possible to get rid of excess fat in some parts of the body naturally. Deformities due to regional lubrication are more noticeable, especially in summer.

The classical liposuction method, which is one of the most used procedures in this regard, has been applied for a very long time in the world. While the technological innovations brought by the age provide convenience in all areas of life, the aesthetic, beauty and health sector also gets its share from the developments.

Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) method provides shorter operation time and faster recovery time for those who want to have regional fat removal. Here are the details of the belly fat loss application before going on vacation…

What is liposuction?

Liposuction, which is defined as fat removal among the people, is a regional slimming method in the most basic sense. It is performed to eliminate excess adipose tissue in certain parts of the body and to eliminate deformities. It can be applied to areas with stubborn lubrication such as hips, waist, hips, and knees, especially the abdomen. Liposuction is applied by vacuuming the fat tissues through tiny incisions through thin cannulas.

What is the difference of Power Assisted Liposuction?

The difference of this method from the classical and traditional liposuction application we know is that the cannulas used in the fat removal process make a back and forth motion in a short range of motion 300 times a minute. Replaceable cannulas are attached to the handle, that is, to the handpiece, and this handpiece is connected to both the device that will vibrate and the aspirator that will absorb the oil. The number of movements per minute can be adjusted depending on whether the tissue is hard or soft.

What are the pros of PAL implementation?

The two most important advantages are that it shortens the operation time and the tissue is less traumatized. Both of these advantages mean faster recovery time. Again, it has been shown both as experience and scientific publications that it causes less bruising compared to the classical method. Another advantage is that the surgeon’s effort is considerably reduced. Thanks to this device, the reduction of fatigue and operation time also positively affects the result of the procedure.

Who does PAL apply to?

It can be applied to anyone, male or female, who cannot get rid of stubborn fat despite sports and diet. Liposuction is definitely not just a weight loss method. When it is applied to the stubborn areas of fat in people with ideal weight, the fastest recovery and the most satisfactory results can be obtained. People with rapid changes in weight and overweight people are not suitable candidates for this procedure.

What season should it be done?

Power Assisted Liposuction can be done in any season. Of course, the highest demand for this application comes in the months before summer. Regional lubrication, which is not taken into account with the effect of thick clothes in the winter months, can cause discomfort to the person in the summer months. This method, which allows the fastest change, is frequently preferred especially for the summer season.

What is the recovery period?

Recovery time varies according to the skin structure of the person, the width of the area where the fat is removed and the amount of fat removed. After a procedure to be performed on the waist area of a patient with ideal weight, called ‘love handles’, an average of 600 to 1000 cc of fat is removed and most of the healing is completed within 2-3 weeks. Recovery after fat taken from the ‘stubborn quince belly’ can sometimes take as little as 1-2 weeks. However, a period of at least 4-6 weeks is required after the removal of fat from the entire body, including the abdomen and back, which we call ‘360 liposuction’.

Is it possible to swim in the sea or pool after the procedure?

After PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction), it is possible to swim in the sea and pool, but as we mentioned before, the recovery period may vary from person to person. A person who has liposuction in a weak and small area can easily swim in the sea after 2-3 weeks. Sunbathing and tanning are a different matter.

Considering that the most important factor in skin aging and skin cancers is sun rays, a plastic surgeon does not think about recommending sunbathing to his patient. But on the other hand, who doesn’t love bronze skin?

However, it should not be forgotten that after liposuction, skin hydration is interrupted and the skin becomes more sensitive temporarily. For this reason, it would be beneficial to delay sunbathing for a few weeks. While being exposed to sun rays, it is necessary to use moisturizing sunscreens and apply them hourly. Since the small incisions made for liposuction are hidden under the bikini, no additional advice is required for these areas.

Is the effect of the procedure permanent?

The removed adipose tissue is not replaced by a new one. For this reason, it will be difficult to get fat in the area where liposuction is performed, even if the person gains weight. However, of course, the right thing is to maintain the ideal weight during the operation period.
