Vaser Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells, Vaser Liposuction is a modern method of liposuction that uses ultrasound technology to surgically remove excess fat deposits in specific areas of the body. This technique targets fat in both deeper layers and areas closer to the skin while aiming to minimise disruption to surrounding tissues. It is often considered for addressing areas of fat that remain despite diet and exercise efforts. Vaser Liposuction may also promote tissue tightening in the treated regions, depending on the individual.
Where Can Vaser Liposuction Be Performed?
Vaser Liposuction can target fat deposits in various areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Chin and neck
- Back
- Legs
Who is a Suitable Candidate for Vaser Liposuction?
Vaser Liposuction is generally suitable for individuals who:
- Have localised areas of fat resistant to diet and exercise
- Are close to their ideal weight
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations regarding outcomes
It is not recommended for individuals seeking a solution for obesity or those with significant underlying health conditions. A consultation with a qualified cosmetic doctor is essential to determine if this procedure is right for you.
Is Vaser Liposuction Permanent?
The results of Vaser Liposuction are permanent – fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate. However, gaining weight in the future may cause fat to accumulate in treated or untreated areas. To maintain results, patients are encouraged to:
- Follow a balanced diet
- Stay physically active
- Maintain a stable weight
While the procedure removes fat, it is not a substitute for weight loss or a treatment for obesity. Lifestyle changes are critical to preserving the benefits of the surgery.
What to Expect During Recovery
Recovery from Vaser Liposuction varies depending on the areas treated. For a single area, such as the chin or arms, patients can often resume normal activities within a week. When multiple areas are addressed, recovery may take longer, sometimes up to a month. Key recommendations for recovery include:
- Wearing compression garments as instructed to aid healing
- Avoiding heavy physical activity for at least 10–14 days
- Refraining from hot showers, baths, or pools
- Following a balanced diet to support recovery
Potential Risks of Vaser Liposuction
As with any surgery, Vaser Liposuction carries some risks. These include:
- Infection
- Excessive bleeding
- Skin irregularities
- Numbness or tingling in treated areas
- Scarring
- Fluid accumulation (seroma)
- Complications related to anaesthesia
- Blood clots or fat embolism
Discussing these risks thoroughly with your surgeon is essential to understanding whether this procedure aligns with your needs and expectations.
