What did Damla Altun say about her surgery?
On her own YouTube channel, the Turkish influencer Damla Altun posted a vlog with a title that announced the procedure directly: “VÜCUT ŞEKİLLENDİRME AMELİYATI OLDUM! | vaser liposuction” (“I had body-contouring surgery! | vaser liposuction”). In the video description she thanked the medical team who treated her for their patience during the process, without going into further clinical detail.

WhatsAppThat title and description are the whole basis of this article. Damla Altun named the technique herself — vaser liposuction — but did not describe the extent of the procedure, the areas treated or any further medical detail, so this article does not guess at them. The sections below explain liposuction in general, not her own treatment.
Why naming the procedure openly matters
Body-contouring procedures are often talked about only once results are visible, if at all. Damla Altun chose to title her own video around the surgery itself rather than only showing an after photo, which gave her audience an honest starting point instead of letting them guess from a changed silhouette.

Vaser liposuction is one of several ways to remove localised fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise; naming the specific method, as she did, is useful information without being a medical description of her own body.

How liposuction is done today
Liposuction removes localised fat deposits through small incisions, using a thin cannula connected to suction. The main variants used today:
- Tumescent (standard) liposuction — a fluid is injected into the fat layer before suction to reduce bleeding and bruising.
- Vaser (ultrasound-assisted) liposuction — ultrasound energy first loosens the fat cells, which can make removal more precise around areas such as the waist and flanks.
How fat is prepared
- Standard liposuction
- Tumescent fluid only
- Vaser liposuction
- Tumescent fluid + ultrasound energy
Anaesthesia
- Standard liposuction
- Local or general
- Vaser liposuction
- Local or general
Typical duration
- Standard liposuction
- 1–4 hours, depending on area
- Vaser liposuction
- 1–4 hours, depending on area
Price at City Medical Centre
- Standard liposuction
- From $1,200
- Vaser liposuction
- From $1,200
Both approaches are usually combined with compression garments afterwards to support the skin as it adapts to the new contour.
Who is it for?
Liposuction is generally considered for localised fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs or arms that have not responded to diet and exercise — it is a body-contouring procedure, not a treatment for general obesity. Before surgery, patients have standard blood tests and a consultation to confirm which areas and technique fit their case and whether general or local anaesthesia is appropriate.
Recovery after liposuction
With local anaesthesia, patients are usually discharged 3–4 hours after the procedure; with general anaesthesia, they stay one day under observation. A compression garment is worn for several weeks to help the skin settle. Most patients return to work within 7–10 days, and the final contour forms gradually as swelling resolves, over roughly 3–6 months.
How recovery after liposuction usually goes
- Day of surgeryLocal or general anaesthesia, depending on the areas treated.
- Same day – 1 dayDischarge 3–4 hours after local anaesthesia, or after one day of observation with general anaesthesia.
- First weeksA compression garment is worn to support the skin as it adapts.
- 7–10 daysMost patients return to work.
- 3–6 monthsThe final contour forms once swelling has fully resolved.
Liposuction at City Medical Centre
City Medical Centre performs liposuction, including the Vaser technique, for international patients, with prices starting from $1,200 depending on the area and number of zones treated — for example $1,700 for the abdomen or $3,600 for a combined multi-area (torso) procedure. The first consultation is free, and the final price is fixed in the contract after an examination. More details are on the liposuction page.
To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Damla Altun or her treatment. Her story is simply a well-known example of someone who named her own procedure openly.
Frequently asked questions
Did Damla Altun have liposuction?
Yes. On her own YouTube channel she titled a vlog “VÜCUT ŞEKİLLENDİRME AMELİYATI OLDUM! | vaser liposuction” (“I had body-contouring surgery! | vaser liposuction”), posted in September 2020.
Which technique did she name?
She named vaser (ultrasound-assisted) liposuction herself in the video title. She did not describe which areas were treated or further medical detail, so this article does not guess at that.

Standard liposuction uses only tumescent fluid before suction; vaser liposuction adds ultrasound energy to loosen fat first, which can help precision in areas like the waist.

Prices start from $1,200 depending on the area, for example $1,700 for the abdomen or $3,600 for a combined multi-area procedure.
