Liposuction (5 body areas) in Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu — Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Liposuction for five body areas at the clinic of Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu in Istanbul, Turkey, uses VASER technology to sculpt the torso and thighs. This 360-degree procedure targets the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back in a single session. The surgery is performed by a board-certified specialist who has completed over 2,000 procedures and holds membership in the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

The VASER Liposuction Method

The clinic uses VASER ultrasound-assisted technology instead of traditional mechanical methods. This technique selectively turns fat into liquid while leaving blood vessels and nerves alone. Because the fat is liquefied before removal, patients experience less bruising and faster healing times. The method also helps the skin retract better for a smoother final look. During the surgery, the doctor uses micro-cannulas to remove the fat through tiny incisions.

Surgery and Recovery Details

The procedure lasts between two and four hours under general anesthesia. Patients stay in a fully accredited private hospital for one night where board-certified anesthesiologists and ICU support are on standby. International patients should plan to stay in Turkey for 7 to 10 days. The recovery process includes several specific steps:

• First week: Patients start lymphatic drainage massages and can return to desk work by day five.
• Month one: A compression garment must be worn for four to six weeks. Patients can usually return to the gym after four weeks.
• Follow-up: Patients receive direct support from Op. Dr. Barutcu via WhatsApp, sending photos at one week, one month, three months, and six months.
