Liposuction of the Thigh in Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu — Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
About the clinic
Thigh liposuction at the clinic of Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu in Istanbul helps patients achieve slim and defined legs using advanced ultrasound technology. The procedure is performed by Op. Dr. Barutcu, a board-certified specialist who has completed 2,000+ successful operations. Patients benefit from precise body sculpting in fully accredited private hospitals, often returning to desk work in just 5 days.
Advanced VASER Technology
The clinic uses VASER ultrasound technology for thigh contouring. This method targets fat cells with sound waves to liquefy them before removal. It protects blood vessels and nerves, which leads to less bruising than traditional methods. The ultrasound energy also helps the skin tighten and retract during the healing process. This technique is effective for 360-degree sculpting to create athletic muscle definition.
Expert Surgical Care
Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu leads every procedure with a focus on aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. She is an active member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the European Academy of Aesthetic Surgery (EPCD). Op. Dr. Barutcu publishes her research in international journals and regularly lectures at global medical congresses. Her experience with over 2,000 procedures helps her create personalized plans for patients from over 40 countries.
Procedure and Recovery
The surgery takes between 2 and 4 hours under general anesthesia managed by board-certified specialists. Safety is a priority, so all patients undergo a full medical panel including blood tests and heart checks before the operation. Most patients stay one night in the hospital with 24/7 nursing care. The typical recovery timeline includes:
- Day 5: Return to light desk work and daily activities
- Day 10–14: Resuming social activities with confidence
- Week 4: Permission to return to the gym and sports
- Month 3: Final refined results become visible
Support for International Patients

Patient safety follows strict hospital-level protocols. Board-certified anesthesiologists perform all sedation, and every procedure uses sterile, single-use surgical kits. The facility provides 24/7 nursing care with dedicated ICU support on standby.
### 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.
### Advanced Medical TechnologyThe clinic uses **VASER technology** for all advanced liposuction procedures. This ultrasound-based system targets fat cells while sparing blood vessels and nerves. 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.
