Mega Liposuction

Mega Liposuction is a specialized form of liposuction that involves the removal of more than 6–7 liters of fat in a single procedure. This advanced technique is typically performed on patients requiring extensive fat removal or body contouring, often in combination with other surgical procedures.

In which patients does mega liposuction yield good results?

In classical liposuction, the removal of 3–4 liters of fat in patients with excessive fat deposits does not significantly improve body contour. Mega liposuction, however, is highly satisfying for patients who are overweight, unable to diet, unwilling to undergo gastric surgery, unable to exercise, and who have no issues in their preoperative health assessments.

What are the benefits of mega liposuction?

- In mega liposuction, as much as 15–20 liters of fat can be removed in a single session. This allows for a surgical reshaping that highlights the body contours (such as the waist and abdomen) and eliminates excess bulges (such as in the chest, underarms, and hips).

- Considering that clothing size reduction and contour refinement are more important than the total weight loss, patients achieve a visibly improved body shape.

- After such fat removal, positive improvements are often observed in diabetic patients.

- Since fat is a tissue that stores estrogen, male patients experience a proportional increase in testosterone levels after surgery, which reduces loss of libido.

- Reduced body weight facilitates increased physical activity and makes exercise easier.

- A positive change in body appearance after surgery boosts motivation to maintain a diet and makes dieting easier.

What conditions are required for mega liposuction?

 To minimize the risks and complications of this surgery, the following conditions are essential:

- A plastic surgeon well-trained in liposuction techniques and highly knowledgeable in the physiology of mega liposuction
- An anesthesiologist with extensive experience in such surgeries
- A hospital equipped with the necessary facilities for this procedure and aftercare
- Experienced nurses and healthcare professionals specialized in both the surgery and postoperative care
- Proper patient selection

Can mega liposuction be combined with other surgical procedures?

If the patient’s health condition allows, it is possible to combine mega liposuction with tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and/or breast reduction in the same session.

What is Prof. Dr. Murat Turegun’s experience with mega liposuction?

Prof. Dr. Murat Turegun received his specialist diploma in 1993, and after becoming an associate professor, began performing mega liposuction in 2000. He has treated approximately 800 patients, about 150 of whom underwent liposuction procedures exceeding 10 liters.
In addition, Prof. Dr. Turegun has extensive experience in “combined surgeries” where three surgical procedures are performed together. He has also shared his work with esteemed colleagues at national and international scientific congresses.
