Vaser Liposuction

Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells, offering a more precise approach than traditional methods. This technique helps to reduce trauma to surrounding tissues. While traditional liposuction directly removes solid fat, Vaser’s ultrasound breaks down the fat first, helping to facilitate removal.

You can expect your Vaser liposuction to take between one and four hours to complete, depending on the areas treated and the amount of fat removed.

Your Vaser liposuction procedure is performed using twilight sedation and local anaesthesia, so you should feel very little during the procedure. If you experience any discomfort or pain during recovery, you can treat and manage this with medications prescribed by your doctor.

Our doctors at Cosmos Clinic always aim to achieve the desired results during your initial liposuction procedure. However, the desired results are not a guarantee, and some patients may need additional treatments, depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed.

You can remove up to 5L of fat in one session. If you wish to remove more than 5L of fat, you may need to have multiple Vaser procedures.

While scarring is an inevitable part of any surgical procedure, significant scarring after liposuction is rare. The incisions required to insert the Vaser probes are only small and will be placed in hidden locations.

Every invasive procedure comes with risks. Some of the potential side effects you may experience after your Vaser liposuction procedure include:

• Bruising and bleeding
• Pain and aching
• Excess skin
• Persistent swelling
• Poor scarring
• Fluid accumulation under the skin
• Asymmetry or skin irregularities
• Infections
• Blood clots
• Skin burns
• Numbness

The actual number of fat cells in a person’s body remains stable during their lifetime. Unless we become grossly obese, you do not grow more fat cells after adolescence. When the fat cells are removed by liposuction, it is very difficult to gain fat back in those areas. Muscle definition will remain even if you put weight on. These findings were published in the August issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The full report can be read here. For more information see Fat Facts After Liposuction

Ultrasonic liposuction stimulates the formation of new collagen fibres. This allows the skin to retract – resulting in tighter, firmer skin.

Most of the results are obtained at 6 weeks. At this point, photos are taken to assess your progress. The final results may not be apparent for 3 – 6 months post-operatively. Strict adherence to the pre-operative and post-operative requirements is necessary in order to achieve the best possible results.

There are inherent risks and complications as there are with any surgery. You should be aware of the potential risks and discuss any concerns you may have with your doctor before your surgery is performed.
