Target Stubborn Fat. Define Your Shape.
Liposuction in Turkey
Some areas of stubborn fat can remain difficult to change despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly and keeping a stable weight.
Liposuction in Turkey is a body contouring procedure designed to remove localised fat deposits and improve the shape and definition of specific areas of the body.
Treatment can focus on individual areas such as the stomach, waist, back, thighs, arms or chin. For patients looking for more extensive body contouring, options such as VASER liposuction and Lipo 360 may also be considered.
With Medlinko, your journey starts closer to home.
Begin with a face to face consultation in London or speak with us online before travelling to Istanbul for your treatment.
Liposuction Results
Explore before-and-after results from patients who have undergone liposuction.
Liposuction results are highly individual. The areas treated, the technique used, your skin quality and your natural body proportions all influence the final appearance.
Individual results vary. Before-and-after photographs are shown with patient consent and should not be considered a guarantee of a particular result.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn, localised deposits of fat and improve the contours of specific areas of the body.
During liposuction surgery, fat cells are removed from selected areas through small incisions using a thin tube called a cannula.
Common areas for liposuction include:
- Stomach and abdomen
- Waist and flanks
- Love handles
- Back
- Hips
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Chin and neck
- Male chest
- Knees
Liposuction is not designed as a weight loss procedure. Instead, the aim is to improve body shape, definition and proportion by targeting areas where unwanted fat remains despite diet, exercise or weight loss.
Several areas may sometimes be treated during the same procedure depending on your anatomy, health, treatment goals and overall suitability.
With Medlinko, you can start with a face to face consultation in London before travelling to Istanbul for your procedure.

Meet Us in London Before Your Liposuction
Thinking about liposuction in Turkey, but unsure which areas should be treated or which type of liposuction may suit you?
Your Medlinko journey can start face to face in London.
Your initial consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss the areas you would like to change, your current body shape and what you are hoping to achieve.
We can also discuss whether individual area liposuction, VASER liposuction, Lipo 360 or another body contouring approach may be appropriate for you.
Your consultation can help you understand:
- Which areas may be suitable for liposuction
- Whether your skin quality is suitable
- How many areas may need treatment
- Whether VASER liposuction may be considered
- Whether Lipo 360 may better match your goals
- Whether loose skin could affect your result
- What to expect during recovery
We will also explain how your treatment journey works and what happens when you travel to Istanbul.
If visiting us is not convenient, you can begin with an online consultation instead.

What Can Liposuction Help With?
Liposuction is designed to target specific areas of unwanted fat rather than provide general weight loss. It can be used to improve body contour in several areas.
Stubborn Abdominal Fat
Fat around the stomach can sometimes remain even after weight loss, regular exercise and lifestyle changes.
Liposuction can target selected areas of abdominal fat to create a smoother contour.
Waist & Love Handles
Localised fat around the waist and flanks can affect the overall shape of the midsection.
Treating these areas can help create greater waist definition.
Back Fat
Selected areas of fat around the upper or lower back may be treated to create smoother contours.
Thigh Fat
Liposuction can target the inner thighs, outer thighs or both depending on your anatomy and desired result.
Upper Arm Fat
Arm liposuction can reduce localised fat where the skin has sufficient elasticity.
Chin & Neck Fat
Small deposits of fat beneath the chin and around the neck may be treated to create greater definition around the lower face and jawline.
Multiple Areas
Several areas may sometimes be treated together to create more balanced overall body proportions.
Which Areas Can Be Treated With Liposuction?
Liposuction can be used across many different areas of the body.
The right treatment depends on your fat distribution, body proportions, skin elasticity and desired result.
Stomach Liposuction
Stomach liposuction, also known as abdominal liposuction, targets localised fat around the stomach. Both the upper and lower abdomen may be considered depending on where fat is stored.
For patients with good skin quality, abdominal liposuction can help create a flatter and more defined appearance. However, stomach liposuction does not remove significant amounts of loose skin.
Waist & Love Handle Liposuction
Fat around the waist, sides and love handles can make the midsection appear wider. Liposuction can target these areas to improve the transition between the abdomen, waist and hips.
For patients looking for more comprehensive torso contouring, these areas may form part of a Lipo 360 treatment plan.
Back Liposuction
Back liposuction can target selected areas of fat across the upper and lower back. This may include fat around the bra line, lower back or areas that contribute to less defined waist contours.
Thigh Liposuction
Thigh liposuction can target the inner thighs, outer thighs or selected areas around the legs. The aim is to improve shape and proportion rather than simply remove the maximum possible amount of fat.
Arm Liposuction
Arm liposuction can target stubborn fat around the upper arms. It may be appropriate where excess fat is the main concern and the skin has enough elasticity to adapt after treatment.
If significant loose skin is present, an arm lift may be more appropriate.
Chin Liposuction
Chin liposuction targets localised fat underneath the chin and around the upper neck. For suitable patients, reducing fat in this area can improve definition between the chin, jawline and neck.
Male Liposuction
Liposuction is also available for men. Common areas for male liposuction can include the stomach, waist, flanks, chest and love handles.
Treatment is planned according to individual body proportions and the areas the patient would like to improve.
What Is VASER Liposuction?
VASER liposuction is an ultrasound assisted liposuction technique used for fat removal and body contouring.
VASER technology uses ultrasound energy to help break down targeted fat before it is removed using liposuction.
It may be considered for areas including:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Flanks
- Back
- Arms
- Thighs
- Male chest
The aim is still body contouring rather than weight loss.
Whether VASER liposuction in Turkey or another liposuction technique is more appropriate depends on your anatomy, treatment areas, skin quality and desired result.
A particular technique should not be selected simply because it sounds more advanced.
Your treatment should be based on what is appropriate for your body and goals.
What Is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360, also known as 360 liposuction, is a body contouring approach that treats multiple areas around the circumference of the midsection.
Instead of concentrating only on stomach fat, treatment may include the:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Flanks
- Love Handles
- Lower Back
Treating several connected areas can help improve the overall shape of the torso from the front, sides and back.
The objective is to create smoother transitions between these areas and greater definition through the waist.
Is Lipo 360 the Same for Everyone?
No.
Lipo 360 does not mean that every patient receives exactly the same treatment or that the same amount of fat is removed from every area.
Your treatment should be planned around your individual fat distribution, natural proportions, skin quality and desired body shape.
What Is VASER 360 Liposuction?
VASER 360 liposuction combines the broader body contouring approach of Lipo 360 with ultrasound assisted VASER technology.
Treatment may involve selected areas around the abdomen, waist, flanks and back as part of one personalised body contouring plan.
The objective is not simply to remove as much fat as possible.
The aim is to create smoother transitions between treated areas and improve the overall proportions of the midsection.
Whether standard liposuction, VASER liposuction or VASER Lipo 360 is appropriate depends on your individual assessment.
Do I Need Liposuction or a Tummy Tuck?
Liposuction and tummy tuck surgery address different concerns.
Understanding the difference is important when deciding which treatment may be appropriate.
Liposuction
Liposuction primarily addresses localised fat.
It may be considered when:
- Stubborn fat is the main concern
- Skin elasticity is relatively good
- There is no significant abdominal skin overhang
- Body contouring rather than skin removal is required
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, primarily addresses:
- Loose abdominal skin
- Significant skin overhang
- Abdominal laxity
- Muscle separation where appropriate
Tummy Tuck With Liposuction
Some patients have both excess skin and unwanted fat.
In suitable cases, liposuction and tummy tuck surgery may be combined within the same treatment plan.
A simple way to understand the difference:
Stubborn Fat → Liposuction
Loose Skin → Tummy Tuck
Loose Skin + Stubborn Fat → Tummy Tuck With Liposuction May Be Considered
Does Liposuction Remove Loose Skin?
Liposuction removes fat. It does not remove significant amounts of excess skin.
After fat removal, the final contour partly depends on the ability of your skin to adapt to the new shape underneath.
Patients with good skin elasticity may experience better natural skin adaptation following treatment.
If significant loose skin is already present, removing fat alone may not create the result you are looking for. Depending on the treatment area, a procedure such as a tummy tuck, arm lift or thigh lift may need to be considered instead.
This is why assessing skin quality as well as fat distribution is important when planning liposuction.
How Much Weight Can You Lose With Liposuction?
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure.
Although fat is physically removed during treatment, the main objective is to improve body shape and proportion, not to achieve a particular number on the scales.
The amount of fat that can appropriately be removed depends on several factors, including:
- Your body size
- BMI
- Number of areas being treated
- Overall health
- Treatment technique
- Extent of the procedure
- Individual safety considerations
Removing the maximum possible amount of fat should never be the objective.
Your treatment should focus on creating an appropriate body contour while keeping the procedure within suitable medical parameters.
Why Choose Medlinko for Liposuction in Turkey?
Travelling abroad for liposuction surgery in Turkey involves more than the procedure itself.
Medlinko connects your journey from London to Istanbul and back home.
SUITABILITY
Who May Be Suitable for Liposuction?
Liposuction may be considered by adults who have localised areas of fat that remain despite maintaining a relatively stable body weight.
Your general health, BMI, medical history, smoking status, skin quality and the extent of treatment should all be considered before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.
You may be considering liposuction if you:
Liposuction may not be appropriate if significant loose skin is your main concern.

Liposuction Recovery
Recovery after liposuction depends on the number of areas treated, the amount of fat removed and the technique used.
Swelling, bruising, tenderness and temporary changes in sensation are common during the early recovery period.
More extensive treatments such as Lipo 360 may involve a different recovery experience from treating one smaller area.
When Will I See My Liposuction Results?
Changes in body shape can be visible after liposuction, but the early appearance is affected by swelling.
The treated areas may initially appear swollen or uneven while healing begins. As swelling gradually decreases, the new body contours become clearer.
Liposuction Can Create Areas That Appear
- More defined
- Smoother
- Better contoured
- More proportionate
- More balanced with surrounding areas
Some residual swelling can take several months to completely settle, so the final result should not be judged too early.
Fat cells removed through liposuction do not simply grow back. However, remaining fat cells can still increase in size if you gain weight. Maintaining a relatively stable weight can therefore help preserve your result.
Every patient heals differently, and specific results cannot be guaranteed.
How Much Does Liposuction Cost?
The cost of liposuction depends on the extent of your treatment.
Treating one smaller area is different from treating several body areas or performing more comprehensive 360 liposuction.
Factors that may influence your treatment plan include:
- Number of areas treated
- Size of the treatment areas
- Amount of fat to be removed
- Liposuction technique
- Whether VASER is used
- Whether Lipo 360 is planned
- Whether another procedure is combined
- Individual treatment requirements
For this reason, Medlinko provides a personalised quotation following assessment rather than offering one price for every patient.
Your quotation will explain your proposed treatment and exactly what is included before you decide whether to proceed.
Want to Know Your Liposuction Cost in Turkey?
What Affects Liposuction Cost in Turkey?
Patients searching for liposuction Turkey cost, liposuction cost Turkey or VASER liposuction Turkey cost can find significantly different prices online.
One reason is that the term liposuction can describe very different treatment plans. For example, treating one area of the body is not the same as treating the abdomen, waist, flanks and back together.
Likewise, Lipo 360 in Turkey represents a different level of body contouring from liposuction of one smaller area. The technique used can also influence treatment planning.
Your Medlinko quotation is therefore based on your individual treatment rather than a generic advertised price.
You will receive clear information about your treatment and package inclusions before booking.

Can I have a face to face consultation in London first?
Yes.
You can start your Medlinko journey with a face to face consultation in London before travelling to Istanbul.
If you cannot visit us in person, you can also begin online.
What is VASER liposuction?
VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to help break down targeted fat before it is removed through liposuction.
It may be used for several areas of the body depending on the individual treatment plan.
What is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is a body contouring approach that treats multiple areas around the midsection.
Treatment may include the abdomen, waist, flanks, love handles and back depending on your anatomy.
The aim is to improve the overall contour of the torso from multiple angles.
Is VASER liposuction the same as Lipo 360?
No.
VASER describes a liposuction technology, while Lipo 360 describes a treatment approach involving multiple areas around the midsection.
VASER technology can sometimes be used as part of a Lipo 360 treatment.
What is VASER Lipo 360?
VASER Lipo 360 combines ultrasound assisted VASER technology with liposuction around multiple areas of the midsection.
The exact areas treated depend on your individual anatomy and body contouring plan.
Which areas can be treated with liposuction?
Common areas include the abdomen, waist, flanks, love handles, back, arms, inner thighs, outer thighs, hips, chin and neck, and male chest.
Several areas may sometimes be treated during the same procedure.
Can liposuction remove belly fat?
Liposuction can remove selected deposits of fat around the stomach and abdomen.
However, it does not treat significant loose skin or replace weight loss.
If loose abdominal skin is the main concern, a tummy tuck may be more appropriate.
What is the difference between tummy tuck and liposuction?
Liposuction primarily removes fat.
A tummy tuck primarily removes excess abdominal skin and can also address abdominal laxity and muscle separation where appropriate.
Some patients may benefit from combining both procedures.
Does liposuction remove loose skin?
No.
Liposuction removes fat rather than significant amounts of skin. Skin elasticity therefore plays an important role in the final contour.
Patients with substantial loose skin may require a skin removal procedure instead of, or in addition to, liposuction.
How much fat can be removed with liposuction?
There is no single appropriate amount for every patient.
The amount that can be removed depends on your body size, treatment areas, health, procedure extent and individual safety considerations.
The objective should be appropriate body contouring rather than maximum fat removal.
Can men have liposuction?
Yes.
Liposuction for men can be used to treat areas such as the abdomen, waist, flanks and chest.
Treatment is personalised according to individual body proportions and goals.
How long does liposuction surgery take?
The procedure may take approximately 1 to 3 hours, although treatment time can be longer when multiple or larger areas are involved.
The exact duration depends on your individual treatment plan.
How long is liposuction recovery?
Initial recovery usually takes several weeks.
Many patients gradually return to lighter activities during the first couple of weeks, while swelling continues to decrease over the following weeks and months.
Recovery following extensive Lipo 360 may differ from recovery after treatment of one smaller area.
When can I return to work after liposuction?
Patients with non physical jobs may often return to work within approximately 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the number of areas treated and individual recovery.
Physically demanding work may require more time.
How long does swelling last after liposuction?
Swelling is expected after liposuction and is usually most noticeable during the early recovery period.
It gradually reduces over the following weeks, although residual swelling can continue for several months.
Do I need a compression garment after liposuction?
A compression garment is commonly recommended following body liposuction.
The type of garment and how long it should be worn depend on the areas treated and your individual treatment plan.
Can fat come back after liposuction?
Fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently removed from the treated area.
However, the remaining fat cells can still become larger if you gain weight.
Maintaining a relatively stable weight can help preserve your body contour.
How long should I stay in Istanbul after liposuction?
Your recommended stay depends on the number of areas treated, the extent of your procedure and your individual recovery.
Medlinko confirms your appropriate travel dates as part of your treatment plan so that initial recovery and required follow up can take place before you return to the UK.
