Hip Reduction

WHAT IS HIP REDUCTION?

Hip Reduction Surgery is a procedure performed to reduce the size of the buttock by absorbing the fat in the butt area with surgical or non-surgical techniques and to obtain tight buttocks in suitable sizes for the body shape. 

Although the operation takes about 3-4 hours, it may differ according to the size of the tissue to be taken. 

 

WHO CAN HAVE HIP REDUCTION?

• Those who do not have chronic heart diseases, hypertension, diabetes.

• Those without immunodeficiency.

• Those without hepatitis B virus or HIV infection, Leukemia.

• Those without anemia or acute anemia.

 

WHAT ARE THE TECHNIQUES USED IN HIP REDUCTION?

Vaser technology is the latest technology used in non-surgical liposuction procedures as it relies on ultrasound energy to break up the fat accumulated in the hips and is then absorbed and discarded.

​

PRE-HIP REDUCTION PROCEDURES

• Do not eat or drink anything after in period specified by your doctor.

• Stop smoking two months before the operation.

• Do not take Aspirin, Ibuprofen and some vitamins for a while (two weeks to one month) before the surgery as they may cause bleeding during the surgery.

HOW IS HIP REDUCTION PERFORMED?

1. General anesthesia is used in surgical operations. 

2. The operation begins with a comprehensive examination of the patient.

3. The doctor examines the patient undergoing the operation and detects the areas of fat accumulation.

4. Under general anesthesia, a liquid is injected into the area to be treated, which facilitates the dissolution and absorption of the fat.

5. A small incision is made in the area where excess fat will be taken, and fat is melted with Vaser technology.

6. Finally, with the liposuction technique, the dissolved fat is removed through a cannula and the operation is completed.
