Vaser liposuction in test: Reviews from Real Patients

My biggest worry was whether I'd see a real difference after having Vaser on multiple areas, especially since they removed over four liters. It’s still early, but the swelling is much less now, and I can definitely see subtle changes taking shape. The surgeon and the staff were fantastic from start to finish. They are a solid team. The main challenge for me is just the compression garment making my skin itchy, but that's part of recovery. While the clinic facilities were generally fine, they weren't on the same level as the medical care itself. It's a process. Overall, I feel this was a worthwhile decision.

I was worried about how the recovery would go and when the first changes would become noticeable. Now, at this early stage, I can say that everything is going according to plan, although the final shape hasn’t yet become apparent due to severe swelling, which is to be expected. I underwent Vaser liposuction on several areas, during which around 3–4 litres of fluid were removed. The procedure itself went well. The entire clinic staff were very supportive, and wearing the compression garments, contrary to my expectations, isn’t causing any serious discomfort. I’m happy with the organisation and the care.

If you're considering Vaser, you should know that recovery isn't a walk in the park. I'm 15 days out from my procedure on multiple areas, and while I can already see a definite improvement in my shape, the process requires patience. The surgeon's work was fantastic, earning a solid 5/5, and the clinic was clean and well-equipped. The staff were mostly helpful. My biggest daily challenge is the compression garment; my skin gets itchy under it, which is a constant annoyance. It’s a trade-off. Be prepared for the discomfort, but also for the visible changes that make it feel worthwhile even this early on.

Dr was available to talk to prior to surgery. Staff support on line and in person was outstanding . Care following surgery was good. And response to follow up questions outstanding. My only concern was my lack of knowledge of the extent of the surgery and what would happen afterwards. Staff and Dr answered all my questions but it was the things I didn't ask and therefore didn't expect afterwards. It would be good to have a handout or link to webpage with some idea of what happens to your body afterwards and what to worry about or not. . This is especially the case when you are leaving the area afterwards.

First off, I used Aura Wellness Center, instead of Alice Beauty Clinic. And, their staff was very accommodating and thoughtful - everyone was super nice and considerate, especially Sara and Maria. Sara was the best English speaker there and helped me with everything. Maria was kind, warm, and also a great English speaker. They made it less lonely since I had this journey alone. Through Bookimed, I was assisted by Confidence, she was super thoughtful and checked up on me. She made sure I had connections with my medical coordinator and doctor. My coordinator was named Carlos. He was kind, answering all my questions and even texted me after my surgery numerous time to ensure I was recovering and satisfied with my results. My doctor was Dr. Ayala. I can't say much about him since he was in and out of the surgery room. I met him briefly. And, I'm unsure of my results as I am only one month post-op.

On the downside, I was checked out of the hotel too early. If my parents hadn't been with me, I don't know how I would have coped on my own. It's been almost two months since the surgery. I am generally happy with my stomach, but I still wear a bandage sometimes. The second chin is not perfect, but it's okay.

My Coordinator Ege was awesome and very helpful + friendly, quick to respond whenever you need help. Dr Ilker had good questions and was receptive to my suggestions and decisions. I am still healing from the procedure but it looks good so far. I can’t wait to see the jplasma results, at the moment they can’t fully be seen, will update once I can. Overall a+ for the doctor and coordinator. The hospital is okay, the nurses are okay too.

My stay both at the clinic and in Istanbul went well. There was understanding with the doctor. The Russian-speaking girls were good, I mainly worked with Akilay, she answered all my questions, paid enough attention and was always positive. Everything was well organised in the hotel too, we were changed to a bigger room and my stay after the operation was comfortable. In general, everything went well, I can recommend both the clinic and the doctor, later in a month I will post the results of liposuction.

Thank you very much for everything. I am very satisfied so far, everything looks very professional and I feel very comfortable with the results. My husband also says that everything is very good and he has a very good impression. Very grateful for the driver and all the staff at the clinic, the interpreters are all very nice. I am also grateful to Jimena, the Bookimed consultant for all her attention, without her support all this would not have been possible. I highly recommend her.

The stuff was very friendly and helpful and the doctor explained everything before the surgery.. thank you everyone

Our personal contact Murat was incredibly helpful and always available. He dealt with every question immediately and responded straight away. Simply brilliant!👍🏻

I’m now one year post-op after undergoing 360 liposuction, inner knees, thighs, and arms, and I can confidently say that this is the best place in the world for liposuction! Dr. Bülent Cihantimur did an absolutely outstanding job. What really sets this clinic apart is not only the surgical expertise but also the advanced techniques they use—like J-Plasma—which meant I had zero sagging post-op. Of course, there was some initial swelling, as expected, but thanks to the physiotherapy offered (a couple of sessions were even included at the clinic), recovery was smooth. After I left the country, I continued physio elsewhere and healed up quickly. The follow-up care was also fantastic. Their team stayed in touch regularly, both at the clinic and via WhatsApp, with attentive and genuinely caring staff who made me feel supported throughout the journey. Although I didn’t spend much time directly with Dr. Bülent, he was incredibly intuitive about what I wanted. Most importantly, he listened—which, in my experience, is rare and priceless. Honestly, I now wish I had done my breast reduction here too. I had it elsewhere, and even after a revision at the same outside clinic, I’m still not happy with the breast reduction results. By comparison, the liposuction outcome at this clinic far exceeded my expectations. Before surgery, fat accumulation—especially around my inner knees—made even walking uncomfortable. Now, not only is that discomfort gone, but I’ve been able to enjoy sports I used to only dream about, like figure skating. It’s not just a physical transformation, it’s a lifestyle change. Although I’ve gained a little belly fat back due to slipping into old eating habits, the overall result is still impressive. My body is now proportionate and defined. I actually have a shape now. My legs look like human legs instead of the heavy, swollen ones I used to be so self-conscious about, and the “bingo wings” are gone! I don’t even mind the weight fluctuation because the overall effect remains—and best of all, I’m no longer repulsed when I look in the mirror. I don’t have before photos to share, but you can find real patient photos online—and they speak volumes. This was, without a doubt, the best money I’ve ever spent and worth every single penny. If you're considering a lipo transformation, I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic. The expertise, innovation, and care are unmatched. Thank you, Dr. Bülent and your incredible team—for giving me my confidence back and changing my life!

The team were attentive and very private. It was quiet place which was good. There smiles and kindness made huge difference to my stay. Dr denyal is a true professional and expert in her treatment. I was so nervous but my treatment went so well with her advice and her care. Thank you so much all if you.
