360 Liposuction in Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu — Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
About the clinic
360 Liposuction at the clinic of Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu in Istanbul helps patients reshape their entire midsection using ultrasound technology. This procedure treats the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back in a single session to create a balanced body contour. The surgical team uses VASER technology to break down fat cells while protecting surrounding tissues for a smoother recovery.
The VASER Liposuction Method
The clinic uses the VASER technique, which stands for ultrasound-assisted liposuction. This method begins with a liquid solution to numb the area and shrink blood vessels. Then, ultrasound waves break down fat into a liquid form. This step allows for precise sculpting with less bruising compared to traditional methods. Finally, the surgeon removes the fat using small tubes called micro-cannulas.
The surgery takes between 2 and 4 hours under general anesthesia. It focuses on the full circumference of the torso. This 360-degree approach avoids uneven results and helps achieve a more natural waistline. Patients spend 1 night in a private hospital for monitoring by a nursing team available 24/7.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery starts immediately with a 1-night hospital stay where ICU support is on standby. Patients should plan to stay in Istanbul for 7 to 10 days for follow-up care. The recovery timeline generally follows these steps:
- Day 1: Hospital discharge and transfer to a luxury hotel.
- Day 5: Patients can typically return to desk work.
- Week 1: Start of lymphatic drainage massages to reduce swelling.
- Weeks 4–6: Wear a compression garment to support the new body shape.
- Week 4: Light gym activity and exercise can resume.
Final results usually appear within 3 months as the swelling goes down completely. The clinic provides long-term follow-up through WhatsApp, where patients send progress photos at specific intervals.
Safety and Quality Standards
All surgeries take place in accredited private hospitals in Istanbul. These facilities use board-certified anesthesiologists and provide full pre-operative workups, including blood tests and cardiac checks. The clinic is led by a board-certified plastic surgeon who is a member of ISAPS. International patient packages include VIP airport transfers and translator support to make the travel process smooth.

### Specialized Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeryThe clinic focuses on high-precision body contouring and facial rejuvenation. Every surgical plan matches the patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals. Dr. Barutcu publishes research in international journals and lectures at ISAPS congresses.Body Contouring and Mommy Makeover
The clinic performs complex body surgeries, including Mommy Makeover combinations. These procedures typically pair abdominoplasty with breast surgery and liposuction in a single session. Combined treatments are planned to last no longer than 7 hours for safety.
- VASER Liposuction: Ultrasound emulsifies fat for precise muscle sculpting.
- Abdominoplasty: Full muscle repair treats diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles).
- BBL: Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat transfer for natural volume enhancement.
- Post-Bariatric Surgery: Lower body lifts and arm lifts after significant weight loss.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
Facial procedures reposition tissue layers rather than just stretching skin. The clinic offers the Deep Plane Facelift, which lifts the SMAS layer and ligaments as a single unit. This creates a natural look by returning facial volume to its original position.
Rhinoplasty services cover both primary and complex revision cases. The team also performs buccal fat removal and jawline enhancement. Most facial surgeries require a one-night hospital stay for monitoring.

The result is less bruising and smoother recovery than traditional liposuction. Before surgery, all patients complete a standard pre-operative panel. This includes metabolic tests, coagulation studies, and ECGs for those over 50.### Services for International PatientsThe clinic serves many patients from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Gulf region.
