360 liposuction in Turkey: a slimmer waist, all around the body
Principle, candidates, techniques, procedure, compression garment, results, risks and price: everything you need to know before 360 liposuction in Turkey.
What is 360 liposuction in Turkey?
Love handles, an abdomen or back that keeps its fat despite a balanced diet and exercise: these localized fat deposits often resist dieting.
360 liposuction in Turkey removes fat all around the torso in a single procedure: abdomen, flanks, waist and back. It reshapes the silhouette and defines the waist. The procedure lasts 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia, with 1 night in hospital and a stay of 5 to 7 days. It is not a weight-loss method: it suits people close to their ideal weight. The price is set in a free quote.
TurquieMed organizes your stay: forwarding your file to the surgeon, opinion and detailed quote within 48 hours, airport pick-up, transfers, hotel, interpreter and 7-day-a-week assistance.
To choose well, ask how much fat will be removed: beyond about 5 liters, the procedure becomes more demanding and should be done in several stages.
- Duration
- 2 to 4 hours
- Anesthesia
- General
- Hospital stay
- 1 night
- Stay
- Usually 5 to 7 days
How much does 360 liposuction cost in Turkey?
The price depends on the areas treated, the technique (standard, VASER, laser) and the length of stay. It is often offered as a package with the compression garment, and is usually significantly lower than prices in Western Europe or North America.
Your free quote is prepared after your photos and file have been reviewed. Your flight is usually at your own expense.
Why have 360 liposuction in Turkey?
360 liposuction reshapes the whole torso, abdomen, waist and back, in a single procedure. Turkish plastic surgeons combine it with modern body sculpting techniques.
- Work all around the body. Abdomen, flanks, waist and back are treated together, for a consistent silhouette from the front and back.
- Sculpting techniques. VASER ultrasonic liposuction allows finer work, even defining the abdominal muscles in athletic patients.
- Volumes removed safely. The surgeon respects volume limits per procedure and suggests two stages if needed.
- Garment and care included. The compression garment and, depending on the program, lymphatic drainage sessions are usually included in the package.
- A quick return. Just one night in hospital, then 4 to 6 days at the hotel until the final check-up, before going home with your garment.
Who is 360 liposuction for?
- adults close to their ideal weight, usually with a BMI below 30;
- localized fat deposits on the abdomen, flanks and back;
- skin that is still elastic, which will tighten after the fat is removed;
- a stable weight and good general health.
If the skin of the abdomen is very loose, for example after pregnancies or major weight loss, liposuction alone is not enough: a tummy tuck can be added.
What are the liposuction techniques?
Before suction, a solution that limits bleeding is injected into the areas to be treated. The surgeon then removes the fat with thin cannulas, through incisions a few millimeters long.
Standard liposuction
The fat is removed mechanically. This is the basic technique, effective for most areas.
VASER liposuction
Ultrasound first liquefies the fat, which makes it easier to remove and allows finer work, for example to define the abdominal muscles (“high definition”).
How does your 360 liposuction in Turkey work, step by step?
- You send your photos and file. You receive an opinion and a quote.
- Day 1: consultation, marking of the areas, blood test.
- Day 2: the procedure, then 1 night in hospital.
- Days 3 to 5: hotel and care, check-up, lymphatic drainage depending on the program.
- Days 5 to 7: final check-up and return.
After the procedure
Wear the compression garment day and night for 4 to 6 weeks. Massage or lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling. Office work resumes after about 1 week, sport after 4 to 6 weeks. Stop smoking at least 4 weeks before and after the procedure: smoking delays healing. For the flight home, wear compression stockings, drink plenty of water and get up regularly to prevent blood clots.
What are the risks of 360 liposuction?
Performed with reasonable volumes, by an experienced surgeon, liposuction is a safe procedure. After-effects are mainly bruising and swelling.
| Possible effect | Frequency | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Bruising, swelling, aches | Very common | Disappear within 3 to 6 weeks |
| Numb areas | Common | Sensation returns within a few months |
| Small skin irregularities | Uncommon | Often fade; a touch-up is possible after 6 months |
| Infection, blood clot | Rare | Prevented by early walking and the garment |
The fat removed does not come back, but significant weight gain can be stored in other areas.
How to choose your surgeon and quote?
A low price is not enough. Ask the hospital these questions before committing:
- Is the hospital authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Health to treat international patients?
- Who will perform the procedure, and how experienced are they with this technique?
- Is the surgeon a qualified plastic surgeon, and can you see before-and-after photos of their own patients?
- Does the procedure take place in a hospital with an anesthesia team and intensive care on site?
- Who takes care of a complication, on site and after your return home?
- What medical follow-up is planned, and with whom?
What a good quote should specify
- The name of the hospital and the doctor
- The tests, anesthesia, hospital stay and medication included
- The number of nights in hospital and at the hotel, and the transfers
- What happens in case of complication or cancellation
- The follow-up offered after your return
Also budget for your flight and follow-up consultations. Planned treatment in Turkey is usually not covered by public health insurance: ask your insurer in writing before committing.
Take time to think, and be wary of any offer that pushes you to decide quickly.

Frequently asked questions about 360 liposuction in Turkey
How much does 360 liposuction cost in Turkey?
The price depends on the areas treated, the technique and the length of stay. It is often offered as a package with the garment and is usually significantly lower than prices in Western Europe or North America. The exact price appears on your free quote.
How much weight do you lose with liposuction?
Liposuction is not designed for weight loss: it usually removes 2 to 5 liters of fat, a few kilos, but mainly changes the silhouette and waist measurement. To lose a lot of weight, obesity treatment is more suitable.
Is the result permanent?
Yes, the fat cells removed do not grow back. As long as you keep a stable weight, the result lasts. In case of significant weight gain, fat is distributed to other areas.
When will I see the result?
Part of the change is visible as soon as the garment comes off, but swelling takes 3 to 6 months to disappear. The final result can be judged after 6 months.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
Usually 5 to 7 days: procedure, 1 night in hospital, then a few days at the hotel until the final check-up.
Which photos should I send to get an opinion?
Send photos of your torso from the front, back, both sides and three-quarter view, standing, in underwear, along with your age, weight, height, medical history and current treatments.
Is 360 liposuction covered by insurance?
No: 360 liposuction is a cosmetic procedure, which is not covered by health insurance. Lipedema, a medical condition, is handled differently and is described on our dedicated page. Planned treatment in Turkey is usually at your own expense. Ask your insurer in writing before committing.
