What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical body-contouring procedure that removes stubborn, diet- and exercise-resistant fat to refine shape and proportions. It is not a weight-loss solution; instead, it targets specific areas—abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), back rolls, thighs, hips, arms, chest (including selected male chest cases), knees, and under the chin—to create smoother transitions and a more defined silhouette. In modern liposuction in Turkey, surgeons use small incisions hidden in natural creases and introduce diluted anesthetic (tumescent fluid) to reduce bleeding and discomfort. Energy-assisted devices (e.g., ultrasound or vibration-assisted systems) can help emulsify or loosen fat before gentle aspiration. The aim is controlled reduction, even planes, and natural contour—not over-resection.
Patients often combine liposuction with complementary procedures, such as abdominal muscle repair (during abdominoplasty), a small skin-tightening adjunct, or autologous fat transfer to areas that benefit from subtle volume (e.g., hips). A comprehensive consultation includes photography, pinch-thickness measurements, and a discussion of skin quality, because skin elasticity influences how smoothly the area redrapes after fat removal.
Who is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Good candidates for liposuction in Turkey are healthy adults with localized fat deposits that persist despite stable nutrition and regular activity. The ideal scenario is a near-goal, stable weight with realistic expectations about contouring rather than kilo loss. Skin quality matters: elastic skin tends to retract smoothly, while significant laxity may call for a combined skin-tightening plan or a different operation. Your surgeon will also evaluate distribution (e.g., flanks vs. lower abdomen), prior scars, hormonal or medical factors that influence fat patterning, and overall body balance so that improvements in one area harmonize with adjacent zones.
You’re likely a strong candidate if you:
- Maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle but still notice disproportion in specific areas
- Can pause nicotine, follow compression-garment use, and respect activity restrictions
- Understand that refinement and proportion—not extremes—lead to the most natural result
Which Techniques Are Used for Liposuction in Turkey?
Antalya centers offer a spectrum of techniques tailored to anatomy, skin behavior, and goals. The choice is individualized after examination and discussion of downtime and budget.
How is Liposuction Performed in Turkey?
Anesthesia ranges from local with sedation for limited areas (e.g., submental or small flanks) to general anesthesia for multi-area contouring. Before surgery, your surgeon will mark treatment zones while you’re standing; these maps guide vector direction, access points, and transitions between areas. After sterile prep, tumescent solution is introduced to reduce bleeding and facilitate smooth aspiration. Through 2–3 mm incisions, fine cannulas pass in overlapping, criss-crossed planes to sculpt evenly and avoid ridges. Energy-assisted devices may be used first to loosen or emulsify fat, followed by controlled suction.
Three-step snapshot:
- Planning & anesthesia: Photos, standing markings, safety checks, and DVT-prevention measures; selection of energy-assist if needed.
- Sculpt & balance: Tumescent infiltration, meticulous aspiration with cross-hatching, and continuous assessment of symmetry and transitions between zones.
- Closure & recovery: Tiny incisions closed or left to drain briefly (surgeon-dependent); compression garment applied; early walking encouraged; detailed aftercare provided.

What Did Our Patients Say?
Mary Jones
I had my rhinoplasty done through Antioch Travel and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process. From airport pickup to post-op checkups, everything was so well organized. The surgeon was extremely skilled and listened to exactly what I wanted. I’m beyond satisfied with my new nose and the confidence it gave me. Highly recommend!
Andrew Walker
Went to Antioch for dental veneers. The dentist was very professional, the staff was warm, and I felt in safe hands the entire time. My teeth look amazing now — natural and bright. Only downside was a bit of waiting between appointments, but overall great value for money.
Eva Brown
I travelled from Germany for a mommy makeover package with Antioch. The support team helped me with every detail — flights, hotel, consultations. I felt completely supported and cared for. The results? Life-changing. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!
Maria Klein
Antioch arranged my gastric sleeve surgery, and it was honestly the best decision of my life. I’ve lost 32 kilos in 6 months and feel like a completely new person. The hospital was clean, the surgeon was highly experienced, and they even followed up with me after I returned home. The whole process felt safe and professional.
Jade Williams
Had a Hollywood Smile and dental implants done in Antalya during my trip. Everything was smooth, clean, and surprisingly quick. The results look super natural. I’d 100% come back again!
Nicole Thompson
I was honestly nervous traveling abroad for cosmetic surgery, but Antioch Travel made everything feel so easy and safe. I had liposuction and some body contouring — and I’m so happy with the results! Much better than my previous experience in the US. The recovery support was also great.
Ahmed Rahman
Superb dental service! I had a full set of zirconium crowns done through Antioch. The dentist was so precise, and the entire team was friendly and efficient. My smile looks amazing and natural. Plus, I got to explore Antalya too — win-win!

I came for dental implants and stayed for the hospitality. Everything was professionally planned by Antioch. No delays, no stress. Just excellent doctors, lovely accommodation, and perfect communication throughout. Highly recommend!
Catherine Lewis
Had a tummy tuck recently. The result is better than I imagined. Only downside: hospital staff were not always fluent in English, but the Antioch team helped quickly whenever I needed something. Thank you for taking care of me!
Sarah Bakken
I went alone for upper eyelid surgery — first time having a procedure abroad. Antioch handled everything from hotel to transfers. The clinic was beautiful, and my results look fresh and natural. It honestly felt like a wellness retreat!
Recovery & Care after Liposuction in Turkey
Recovery focuses on swelling control, wound protection, and gradual return to activity. Expect fullness and tightness initially; most patients feel significantly better by week two, with shape refinement continuing for several months. Sleep on your back with the torso slightly elevated and wear the prescribed support bra continuously at first. Gentle arm movement is encouraged, but avoid heavy lifting or overhead strain in the early period. Walking begins the day of surgery to reduce clot risk. Scar care usually starts after incisions are sealed, progressing from silicone therapy to targeted massage per surgeon guidance.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost in Turkey?
Rather than one number, the liposuction in Turkey price reflects scope and structure. Costs vary with the number of areas, anticipated fat volume, technique (standard tumescent vs. PAL/ultrasound-assisted), surgeon seniority, hospital accreditation, anesthesia type, and whether you’ll stay overnight. Package design matters: some centers include pre-op tests, garments, medications, follow-ups, and VIP transfers; others price each item separately. Currency (EUR/GBP/USD), seasonal demand, and payment method can also influence the final figure.
