Buttock Reduction (Vaser Liposuction)

Buttock reduction using Vaser Liposuction involves the removal of fat deposits from the buttock area to reduce its size. Multiple consultations are necessary before the procedure to discuss expectations, potential risks, side effects, downtime, and to assess the patient’s suitability for surgery.

Vaser Liposuction is a specialised technique that uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells for removal. Small incisions are made in the targeted area, and a probe emitting ultrasonic waves is inserted to break down the fat. The emulsified fat is then removed using a cannula through the same small incisions.

This technique is designed to minimise damage to surrounding tissues and is associated with collagen production, which may support skin retraction in the treated area. After the procedure, patients typically experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Compression garments are recommended during recovery to help reduce swelling and support the healing process.

The cost of buttock reduction surgery varies based on individual needs and medical requirements. During consultations, your doctor will provide a detailed cost breakdown tailored to your treatment plan, including associated fees such as sedation, compression garments, and facility charges, to ensure transparency.

During buttock liposuction, the doctor makes small incisions to access targeted fat pockets. A specialised ultrasound probe is inserted through these incisions to break down fat using heat generated by ultrasound technology. This process breaks apart the fat cells, which is then removed through the same small incisions using a cannula.

The procedure is performed using a numbing solution in the targeted areas, combined with IV sedation, twilight anaesthesia, or general anaesthetic, depending on the patient’s specific needs.

The duration of the procedure typically ranges from one to four hours. The exact time depends on factors such as the amount of fat being removed, the number of areas treated, and the individual patient’s requirements.

Post-surgery, it is mandatory to wear compression garments for six weeks to support healing, reduce swelling, and encourage skin retraction. This includes three weeks full-time wear and three weeks part-time. Patients are also advised to perform daily self-massage of the treated areas as per their aftercare instructions. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and assist during recovery.

Recovery timelines vary, but here’s a general overview: Same-Day Discharge: Patients typically go home the same day as the procedure. Swelling and Bruising: These symptoms are common and peak within the first 48 hours. They gradually subside over several weeks.

Compression Garments: Required for six weeks to support healing and assist with skin adaptation. Resuming Activities: Light activities may be resumed after one week, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for six weeks. Sitting: Patients may need to avoid prolonged sitting for about a week, using cushions or modified positions to reduce pressure on the treated area.
