Stacey Silva's liposuction: what was reported, and what wasn't
In July 2021, ahead of the season 2 premiere of Darcey & Stacey, Showbiz Cheat Sheet reported that reality TV star Stacey Silva and her twin sister Darcey had travelled to Turkey for a series of cosmetic procedures the pair called their “twinsformation.” Among them, the outlet wrote, was liposuction — “which they still have the bruises to prove.” Here is exactly what was reported, what Stacey said in her own words about the trip, and what liposuction involves for anyone considering it today.

They also revealed that they ended up getting liposuction as well, which they still have the bruises to prove.
What was reported about Stacey Silva's liposuction?
Stacey Silva, known from 90 Day Fiancé and her own spin-off Darcey & Stacey, travelled to Turkey with her twin sister Darcey for a joint “twinsformation,” covered by Showbiz Cheat Sheet after the sisters discussed the trip with Entertainment Weekly.
In the outlet's own words, describing what the sisters had done: “They also revealed that they ended up getting liposuction as well, which they still have the bruises to prove.” That line is the outlet's reporting, not a direct quote from either sister — Stacey herself did not describe the liposuction specifically in the published comments, and this article does not add detail she did not give.
What Stacey did say herself, in the same interview, was about the other procedure from that trip: while Darcey chose only a breast lift, Stacey explained she went further. “I feel lighter, clothes fit me better, and I still feel sexy and that I got the look that I want, but without the back pain. And you know, for the nose too,” she said, after noting that the twins' results from the trip were not identical: “You'll see something that's a little different. This time around, it was a little different.”
That is all this article relies on. Neither sister named a clinic, a surgeon or a specific technique in the reported comments, and we do not guess at them. Where the text below explains how liposuction is performed and how recovery usually goes, it describes the procedure in general, not Stacey Silva's personal treatment.
Why it matters that this was reported openly
Reality TV stars rarely let a body-contouring procedure like liposuction surface in coverage at all, let alone alongside an admission that recovery still showed in the form of bruising at the time. Stacey and Darcey instead let several procedures from the same trip — a nose job, a breast lift and reduction, and liposuction — be reported together, while also pointing out that their own results were not the same despite being twins.
This article does not comment on how either sister looks; the point is only that the coverage was direct rather than vague or denied.

How liposuction is done today
Liposuction removes localised fat deposits through a thin cannula inserted via tiny incisions, using gentle suction to contour an area rather than reduce overall body weight. It is typically combined across more than one zone in a single session when the areas are adjacent.
Small zone (e.g. chin, arms)
- Typical anaesthesia
- Local
- Typical duration
- From 1 hour
Abdomen or flanks
- Typical anaesthesia
- Local or general
- Typical duration
- 1.5–3 hours
Combined / several areas
- Typical anaesthesia
- General
- Typical duration
- Up to 3–4 hours
Which anaesthesia and technique apply depends on how much tissue is being treated and in how many areas, decided by the surgeon at consultation — not inferred from a celebrity's account of her own recovery.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
Liposuction suits people close to their stable body weight who have localised fat that does not respond to diet and exercise — commonly the abdomen, flanks, thighs or arms — rather than people seeking significant overall weight loss. Preparation usually includes:
- A health screening covering blood tests, coagulation and a general check-up before the procedure is booked.
- Stopping blood-thinning medication, alcohol and smoking in the weeks beforehand, on the surgeon's advice.
- A realistic goal. The procedure contours shape; it is not a substitute for weight loss in patients with a high BMI.
- Contraindications include acute infections, uncontrolled chronic disease, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and blood clotting disorders.
Recovery after liposuction
Bruising and swelling in the treated area, like what was reported about the Silva sisters' trip, are an expected and normal part of the first weeks after liposuction, not a sign anything went wrong. With local anaesthesia, patients are often discharged a few hours after the procedure; with general anaesthesia, clinics typically keep patients overnight for observation.
Compression garments are worn for several weeks to support the healing tissue and reduce swelling. Most patients return to work within 7–10 days, though visible bruising can last longer than that. The final, settled contour is only assessed once all swelling has resolved, generally at 3–6 months.
How recovery after liposuction usually goes
- Day of surgeryLocal or general anaesthesia depending on the area; discharge the same day or next, depending on anaesthesia.
- Days 1–3Compression garment fitted; bruising and swelling are expected in the treated area.
- About week 1Most visible swelling starts to subside; some bruising can remain.
- Days 7–10Most patients return to work.
- Weeks 3–4Compression garment use typically continues; shape becomes clearer.
- Months 3–6Final, settled contour can be assessed.
Liposuction at City Medical Centre
City Medical Centre performs liposuction on individual areas or several zones in one session, with anaesthesia chosen — local or general — according to how much tissue is treated. Current prices start at $1,200 for outer-thigh liposuction, with other areas such as the abdomen priced separately up to $3,600 for a combined torso procedure; the exact price is confirmed after a free first consultation.

Patients who have local anaesthesia for a small area can be discharged the same day; those under general anaesthesia stay one day. Most patients are back at work in 7–10 days, with the final result visible at 3–6 months. More details are on the liposuction page.
City Medical Centre has no connection with Stacey Silva or her treatment. Her story is included here simply because it was reported publicly, alongside her twin sister's, ahead of a TV season premiere.
