Vaser liposuction in Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu — Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
About the clinic
Vaser liposuction at Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, uses ultrasound technology to sculpt the body with high precision. This method helps patients achieve athletic definition in areas like the abdomen, waist, and thighs. The clinic is led by a triple-certified female surgeon known for high-definition body contouring.
Advanced VASER Technology
The clinic uses VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction to target fat cells while protecting other tissues. This method uses ultrasound energy to break down fat before removal. It results in less trauma to the body and helps the skin retract better after the procedure. The surgical team often performs 360-degree circumferential treatment to shape the entire midsection at once. For patients wanting more volume elsewhere, the clinic can transfer the harvested fat to the buttocks or breasts.

- Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (TPRECD)
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.
