I wanted to vlog my surgery day as much as I could because I was in a lot of pain; I'm now on day 10, you can follow the details on Instagram.
What did Esra Polat say about her surgery?
On her own YouTube channel, Esra Polat posted a video titled “360 LİPO + BBL (vücut şekillendirme) AMELİYATIM” (“My 360 lipo + BBL (body shaping) surgery”), published on 1 February 2024.

WhatsAppIn it she said: “Burada ameliyat gününü vloglamak istedim elimden geldiğince çünkü ağrım fazlaydı şuan 10. Gündeyim detayları instagramdan takip edebilirsiniz.” (“I wanted to vlog the day of the surgery here as much as I could because I was in a lot of pain; I'm now on day 10, you can follow the details on Instagram.”)
That is the whole basis of this article. Esra Polat named the combination of her own procedure — 360 lipo (circumferential liposuction) with BBL (a body-contouring approach using the removed fat) — but did not give further clinical detail such as the clinic or the exact areas treated, so this article does not guess at them.
Why documenting day 10 matters
Esra Polat filmed while she was still in visible pain, ten days after her own surgery, rather than waiting for a fully healed result to show only the “after”. That kind of honesty about discomfort in the first days is useful precisely because early recovery is often skipped over in favour of a polished final photo.

“360 lipo” generally refers to liposuction performed around the full circumference of an area — front, sides and back — rather than a single zone, which is why recovery in the first days can involve more swelling and discomfort than a smaller, single-area procedure.

How liposuction is done today
Liposuction removes localised fat through small incisions, using a thin cannula connected to suction, after a fluid is injected into the fat layer to reduce bleeding and bruising. The main factors that shape the procedure:
Areas treated
- Single-area liposuction
- One zone, e.g. abdomen
- Circumferential (360) liposuction
- Full circumference — front, sides, back
Typical duration
- Single-area liposuction
- About 1 hour
- Circumferential (360) liposuction
- Up to 3–4 hours
Anaesthesia
- Single-area liposuction
- Local or general
- Circumferential (360) liposuction
- Usually general
Price at City Medical Centre
- Single-area liposuction
- From $1,200
- Circumferential (360) liposuction
- From $3,600 (combined multi-area)
A BBL-type approach, where removed fat is used to add volume elsewhere, is a separate step that is planned alongside liposuction rather than being part of it by default.
Who is it for?
Circumferential liposuction is generally considered when localised fat affects several connected areas rather than a single zone, and diet and exercise have not changed the contour. Before surgery, patients have standard blood tests and a consultation to confirm the technique and anaesthesia appropriate for the areas involved.
Recovery after liposuction
With general anaesthesia, patients typically stay one day in hospital under observation; with local anaesthesia for smaller areas, discharge can be 3–4 hours after the procedure. A compression garment is worn for several weeks.
Pain and swelling, as Esra Polat described around day 10, are expected in the first two weeks; most patients return to work within 7–10 days, and the final contour settles over roughly 3–6 months.
How recovery after liposuction usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia for a multi-area procedure; local anaesthesia is possible for smaller single areas.
- Day 1One day in hospital under observation after general anaesthesia.
- Days 1–10Pain and swelling are most noticeable, as described in Esra Polat's own vlog.
- 7–10 daysMost patients return to work.
- 3–6 monthsThe final contour settles once swelling has fully resolved.
Liposuction at City Medical Centre
City Medical Centre performs liposuction, including combined multi-area procedures, for international patients. Prices start from $1,200 for a single area, such as the thighs, and go up to $3,600 for a combined torso procedure covering several zones. The first consultation is free, and the price is fixed in the contract after an in-person or online examination. More details are on the liposuction page.
To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Esra Polat or her treatment. Her story is simply a well-known example of someone who documented her own recovery openly, including the difficult days.
