What is hip liposuction?
Hip and love handle liposuction in Turkey is a procedure that reshapes the hips and removes the love handles. Hip remodelling can involve implants or fat injections to enlarge them, or liposuction to reduce their size.
Many patients turn to hip aesthetics to give their body a shape that is better proportioned and more harmonious with the rest of the body.
Patients who need hip liposuction in Turkey are first assessed, taking their wishes into account. The surgical method is decided according to the body contour, the waist measurement and the shape of the hips in relation to the legs.
Depending on the current shape of the hips and the look you want, fat injection may be enough. In some patients, silicone implants are needed to widen and straighten the hips. These implants are made of silicone, and placing them carries its own risks of complications, distinct from those of liposuction.

Hip augmentation surgery
Hip widening surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The procedure lasts 2 to 3 hours. This duration varies according to the patient’s surgical requirements.
Two weeks after hip enlargement surgery, the patient is booked in for frequent consultations with the doctor to monitor progress.
Hip reduction surgery
Hip reduction is carried out to reduce the size of the hips by removing fat. The abdominal area, the thickness of the legs and the body structure all matter. It may not be possible to reduce the love handles as much as you would like. The natural size of the hip must be determined before the operation.
Post-operative care
- The surgical area must stay dry for two days. That means avoiding baths and showers.
- A specialist compression garment must be worn for 4 to 5 weeks after the procedure.
- Sport should be avoided for a few months.
- Care must be taken to protect the buttock area. Be particularly careful when sitting down.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
How much does hip liposuction cost in Turkey and the UK?
In Turkey, hip liposuction costs from £1,600 to £3,000, compared with £2,200 to £4,000 in the UK. The quote depends on the volume to be removed, the technique, standard or Vaser, and the areas treated at the same time, such as the abdomen.
Hips, love handles or outer thighs: what is the difference?
Love handles are the fat that spills over the side of the waist. The outer thighs sit lower down, on the outer surface of the legs. Liposuction, or liposculpture, of the hips targets the first area.
How much fat can be removed from the hips?
Beyond 5 litres of fat aspirated, across all areas combined, the procedure is classed as large-volume liposuction[1]. After this type of procedure, a meta-analysis reports 3.35% major complications[2]. The volume is decided during consultation.
Can the fat come back after hip liposuction?
In a randomised trial of 36 women of normal weight operated on the abdomen, the aspirated fat had not returned at 6 months. Deep fat, however, increased by 10% in those who remained physically inactive[3].
Can the aspirated fat be reinjected into the hips?
Yes, that is the principle of fat transfer: fat taken by liposuction is prepared and then injected to fill a hollow in the hips. This adds volume instead of removing it, and its price is not in the table.
Is hip liposuction dangerous?
It carries the risks of any surgery. Out of more than 2.3 million liposuctions performed worldwide each year, complications are estimated at around 5%, and mortality at around 1 in 5,000, linked to blood loss[4].
Who provides follow-up on return to the UK?
Follow-up on site stops at departure. A review of 44 studies identified 589 patients treated for a complication after cosmetic surgery abroad, mostly infections[5]. See the guide to medical tourism in Turkey.
