Although the use of wetting solutions during high-volume liposuction is a standard approach, it is unclear how to optimize wetting solutions and components and their effect on postoperative complications.. Since the super-wet technique (aspiration of 1 cc per 1 cc of infiltrate) was introduced in 1986, it has become one of the most frequently applied techniques worldwide . Adrenaline and lidocaine are often added to WS due to their hemostatic and analgesic effects One of the major advantages of super-wet technique is that blood loss is quite low. However, potential cardiovascular side effects of WS and the amounts of epinephrine and lidocaine they contain, such as volume overload, local anesthetic toxicity, hypertension, arrhythmia, and tachycardia, are still a scoop of investigation. In this study, we examined the WS and the medications it contains from a different perspective to understand the possible cause of these adverse outcomes. Despite the most suitable candidates for liposuction are patients with a BMI\<30 kg/m2 and low comorbidity and age, the patient group undergoing liposuction is often obese, and overweight individuals require that obesity-related pathophysiological changes be taken into consideration. Therefore, we analyzed the patients by dividing them into two groups according to the amount of WS applied according to their IBW (WS/IBW≤90ml/kg: group I and WS/IBW\>90ml/kg: group I). In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of wetting solutions and components calculated according to ideal body weight (IBW) on postoperative complications

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was measured to detect hypertension and hypotension.
Timeframe: Duration of measurement was defined as one minute before anesthesia induction, during the surgery, and up to 2 days after surgery.
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NRS) was used to assess postoperative pain level
Timeframe: Duration of measurement was defined as the period immediately after surgery and up to 2 days after the end of surgery.
