Our bodies change shape over the years, not just with age, but also due to stress, hormonal changes, and lifestyle. In particular, stubborn fat areas can remain resistant no matter how much dieting or exercise is done. When fat becomes stubborn in certain areas, enzymatic liposuction offers a solution without surgery, making it one of the most talked-about body contouring methods today.
The enzymatic liposuction method is preferred for its minimal trauma compared to other methods and its natural-looking results. So, what is this procedure, how is it performed, and why is it so talked about?
Enzymatic Liposuction
Enzymatic liposuction is a non-invasive (surgery-free) body contouring method that breaks down fat cells through the injection of special enzymes into specific areas of the body. This method is much less invasive than traditional liposuction; there are no blades, and bleeding is minimal. The recovery time is quite short, and you can return to your daily life much faster.
Enzymes break down the targeted fat tissue directly, allowing it to be eliminated from the body through natural means.
What Do the Enzymes Used Do?
The enzymes used in this method are typically lipolytic, breaking down fat cell membranes and releasing triglycerides. The most commonly used enzymes are:
- Hyaluronidase: Softens the connective tissue between cells, making it easier for enzymes to reach fat cells.
- Collagenase: Breaks down hardened connective tissue, softening the area.
- Lipase: The primary enzyme responsible for directly breaking down fats.
The controlled and precise application of these enzymes falls within the expertise of experienced aesthetic surgeons like Gökhan Semerci. This is because each individual's skin structure, fat density, and metabolism are unique.
Who is a Suitable Candidate for Enzymatic Liposuction?
The following profiles are ideal candidates for this procedure:
- Those with excess fat in specific areas despite diet and exercise
- Those who do not want surgery or have limited recovery time
- Middle-aged individuals with no loss of skin elasticity
It is not suitable for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, those with enzyme allergies, and those with certain chronic diseases.
Frequently Asked Questions About Enzymatic Liposuction
1. Does Enzymatic Liposuction Cause Pain?
Generally, no. Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, no pain is felt during the process. Only a mild stinging or fullness sensation may be experienced, which is temporary.
2. How Long Do the Results Last?
If proper diet and lifestyle habits are maintained after the procedure, the results can be long-lasting. However, unhealthy weight gain may reduce the effectiveness of the procedure over time.
3. Does It Leave Scars?
No, there is no need for concern. Enzymatic liposuction is not a surgical procedure, so no incisions are made in the skin, and therefore no visible scars remain.
4. Are the Enzymes Harmful to the Body?
The enzymes used are compatible with the body when the dosage is properly determined by a specialist. When performed by an experienced surgeon like Gökhan Semerci, the procedure is extremely safe.
What Happens Before the Enzymatic Liposuction Procedure?
Before the procedure, detailed measurements are taken using 3D body analysis devices. Regional fat density is mapped, and dosages are customized accordingly. High success rates have been observed in areas such as the abdomen, hips, waistline, and arms.
The Secret to a Natural Appearance: Slimming with Enzymes
Enzymatic liposuction does more than just slim down. It also aesthetically reshapes the body contours. It is particularly preferred by women for waist slimming and abdominal flattening, while it is frequently applied to men for fat accumulation in the chest area (gynecomastia).
Post-Procedure Considerations
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after the procedure. Drink plenty of water. Avoid anti-inflammatory foods for at least one week to enhance the enzymes' effects. Gentle local massage is recommended. Moisturizing and collagen-enriched creams can be used to improve skin elasticity.
