Lipoedema with us “at a glance”:
LIPOEDEMA

A diet of healthy, low-calorie food combined with sufficient exercise is the ideal way to get rid of excess pounds. For many women and men, a slim, sporty figure is an important aspect of their self-confidence and body awareness. In addition, the influence of the body on one's own lifestyle, but also on professional opportunities, is not unimportant nowadays. In order to reduce possible overweight, a balanced lifestyle with exercise and a healthy diet is an excellent strategy. Unfortunately, however, even the healthiest lifestyle fails due to parts of the body affected by lipoedema. A genetic disposition is respon- sible for the development of lipoedema. This predisposition can also be passed on to the next generation. In these cases, the aesthetic-plastic VASER liposuction is the only sensible way to permanently remove the fat deposits.

You will receive non-binding and individual advice. The professor will personally assess whether you are suitable for a lipoedema. Simply send us your pictures as shown in the example pictures.

Additional information we require:
Next Step:

After you receive the detailed cost calculation and decide on the treatment, we will send possible travel arrangements and a patient registration form. In this way, you give us your consent to organize the trip. You conclude the treatment contract directly at the clinic in Istanbul. In order to be able to offer you travel recommendations, we need your desired travel period as well as your desired departure airport.

Before and After Surgery

Lipoedema VASER-Liposuction is performed by Prof. Dr. E. Ismail or a specialist in the Istanbul Clinic. The procedure usually takes about one to two hours. It is always performed under general anaesthetic. Before the surgery, our internal specialist will subject you to a preoperative examination with blood sampling, ECG examination and analysis of your state of health. Calculate 1 to 2 days for the stay in the clinic, after the surgery it will be decided whether you will spend one or two nights in the clinic. The following day, after the follow-up examination, you will normally be driven back to your hotel where you can rest or visit the city of Istanbul. If you have a lipoedema VASER-Liposuction you should stay 7 nights in Istanbul. Starting from the second week you can do normal activities again. Keep in mind that you should wear special corsages between four and eight weeks. The doctor will tell you the exact duration after the surgery. Doctors in Turkey, where the VASER Lipo method is very popular, recommend that you undergo a series of lymphatic massages after the surgery. These should be started about 6 days after the treatment.

No hidden costs & no prepayment or deposit.
You pay the treatment costs completely on site – in cash, by EC card or
credit card and in euro currency.

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLEASE NOTE:

Many people dream of having the right body proportions. If, however, despite consistent diets and sports activities, legs or arms do not fit to the remaining body proportions, and pain occurs again and again due to the massive fat and water retention, one speaks of a lipoedema. This disease has three phases:

Phase 1: Skin surface smooth, subcutaneous fat tissue thickened; fat structure fine knotted.

Phase 2: Skin surface uneven, dents, bumps, fat structure coarse knotted.

Phase 3: Tissue is hardened, massive sagging of the skin.

This is where the VASER liposuction instrument comes in, permanently removing existing fatty tissue together with the stem cells and at the same time tightening sagging skin. During surgeries performed under general anaesthetic, fat cells are precisely separated from the remaining tissue by ultrasound. Since the VASER method does not generate any heat, it can get much closer to the skin than the classic methods. This makes it easier to model the contours of rounded areas such as arms and legs.

VASER Lipo - Precise, gentle, painless Liposuction

It is not without reason that the VASER Lipo is developing into an increasingly sought-after procedure, which is rapidly gaining in importance compared to the classical procedures of liposuction. Besides the possibility to model the silhouette according to individual wishes, the method scores with a significantly shorter recovery time. Thanks to the precision and the gentle technique, the pain is considerably reduced and the risk of side effects such as swelling, bruises or bruising is significantly lower.

Modellling fatty tissue with VASER Lipo is a liposuction using ultrasound. During the procedure, the surgeon precisely separates the fatty tissue from the rest of the tissue. Since the VASER method does not generate any heat, it can get much closer to the skin than the classic methods. This makes it easier to model the contours. In the next step, the surgeon can work the removed material into areas that require an increase in circumference. The surgeries always take place under general anaesthetic. An average of five litres of fat is removed from the body duyring a treatment. Doctors in Turkey, where teh VASER Lipo method is very popular, recommend undergoing a series of lymphatic massages after the procedure. They should be started about 3-4 days after the treatment.

Lipofilling:

The so-called lipofilling has proven to be particularly successful in Turkish beauty clinics in recent years. This is because the body's own tissue can be transplanted much more easily than foreign substances. Instead of producing allergies or rejection effects, the body's own fat tissue degrades much more slowly than other filling materials.

The cushioning effect of the lipofilling is based on the fact that stem cells are transferred in addition to the fat cells. These cells can transform into any type of cell and thus also develop into skin, bone, muscle and connective tissue, blood and fat cells as well as tendons and vessels. In this way, they promote the ingrowth of new tissue, ensure permanent volume maintenance and support the regeneration of the skin.

Barely any limits for use:

Lipofilling is especially suitable for tightening the skin in the facial area. To compensate for wrinkles and unevenness, material is injected under the corresponding zone. Depending on the filler used, the effect of the procedure lasts for several months. The same also applies to the treatment of signs of aging of the lips. After a lipofilling they appear much fuller and take on a new shape.

But also, whole facial areas can be remodeled and changed with a lipofilling. In Turkish beauty clinics, the local specialists are increasingly using their lipofilling for facelifts. Older patients in particular prefer this option, as this allows particularly good results to be achieved in plastic surgery from a certain age onwards.

Breast augmentation or the reshaping of the bottom - keyword Brazilian Butt - are further application goals in which lipofilling is increasingly used. It can therefore be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from aesthetic backgrounds to regenerative procedures.

Your desire is our goal!

Do you dream of a slim figure and want a confident appearance?

If so, you have found the right place!

Our plastic surgeons are ready to fulfill your wishes and are waiting for you in our clinic. We care about patient satisfac- tion and try to meet your needs in the best possible way. During the preliminary examination, you will receive a detailed consultation and our surgeons will perform a detailed examination of your body. Our goal is to offer you the best solution. Your individual treatment will be discussed with you and we will decide which treatment is best for your body. We compare individual wishes with the recommendations of our surgeons. The surgeons strive for risk-free results. In order to make this possible, the medically relevant general conditions such as previous illnesses, possible allergies, the course of the operation, possible complications and risks as well as the postoperative period are also discussed.

In the anatomy picture below, you can see the zones on which liposuction can be performed. You can also see which areas cannot be treated. The health of our patients has the highest priority. For this reason, our surgeons do not recommend liposuction in the lower knee area due to medical concerns.

Your individual beauty - at the center of our professionalism

Since 2001, Prof. Dr. Ismail has been the head physician of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The treatment practice of the department includes all fields of cosmetic surgery - from nose surgery, breast surgery or liposuction to professional hair transplantation. Prof. Dr. Ismail and his team of surgeons are internationally recognized thanks to their professional consulting, treatment and patient care skills. The high technical standards of the clinic - and of course the world-renowned expertise of the head surgeon - contribute to this.

Your requirements - this is our philosophy

As an experienced surgeon with many years of experience and his position as a medical expert officially approved by the Turkish government for Istanbul, Prof. Ismail leads the entire team of doctors. The team is accompanied by experienced plastic surgeons who are exclusively available to Beauty Travels 24 patients. These specialists are exclusively surgeons who have successfully completed their training with Prof. Ismail and have proven their knowledge and experience in their field. Unlike many other clinics, each of these surgeons has their own specialty. For example, while one surgeon specializes in body surgeries, the other attends exclusively to facial surgeries. Our team of doctors can afford this exclusivity because of the large number of patients who now appreciate and make use of our expertise worldwide.

Customized team - for your individual needs

Our chief physician knows the challenges that each individual procedure poses for the team. As the one personally responsible, Prof. Ismail examines every image that patients provide us and discusses it with selected professionals from the team. Since he is liable for each surgery, he guarantees the best and most experienced surgeons for the procedure. The high quality standard starts with the preliminary examination on site in Istanbul. Together with the patient and specialists, the patient’s expectations are compared with what is medically achievable. He then combines a customized team for the procedure for each patient individually in coordination with the existing surgical plan. This exclusive and forward-thinking approach practically eliminates the risk of possible complications, as the planning and decisions are made by proven specialists. Each of our patients is assigned their individually selected surgeon as part of their appointment and travel planning. This eliminates the need for additional research on the part of the patient.

Our promise - your safety

Bottom line: none of our patients have to worry about who will operate on them. Our medical director makes the decision based on his expertise and the team of surgeons. As a state-legitimized expert witness for the court in Istanbul, Prof. Ismail knows the challenges of plastic surgery and passes on this experience to his team. Each of our patients can rest assured that they will be treated by an experienced plastic surgeon. The proven extremely low complication rate at the Medibeauty Clinic underlines the importance of this approach. Especially since follow-up treatments after departure are also generally completely problem-free, because daily practice guarantees quality!

Prof. Dr. Ismail: over 8000 cosmetic surgeries personally performed
Success through quality and over 30 years of experience

Our team is not only highly trained, but we all keep our knowledge up to date. As a team, we complement each other ideally. You as a patient are the focus of our attention. We attach great importance to quality and individual medical decisions, which we discuss with you in advance in a detailed preliminary examination. We explain the course of the surgery, the process of postoperative scarring and inform you in detail about your aftercare.
