These methods are easier and more effective and provide faster recovery. They also help the skin to adopt more easily.

Surgery

More than one 0.5 cm holes are made near the areas to be applied, selected from places where the scars will not be visible. At first, special fluids prepared for fat extraction are injected. The purpose of this is pain and bleeding control. Fat is extracted with appropriate cannulas. Special corsets are worn on the operated areas.

Bathing is allowed within two days. The special corset is worn for 4-6 weeks. Return to work in 5-7 days. Heavy activities are allowed after 1 month.
