What is Buttock Reduction 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.

What is Vaser Liposuction?

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.

Candidates for Buttock Reduction Liposuction

Suitability for buttock reduction liposuction is determined during multiple consultations with your Cosmos Clinic doctor. These sessions assess your health, goals, and treatment approach.

Realistic Expectations: Outcomes can vary between individuals, and it’s important to have a clear understanding of what the procedure can achieve.
Good Overall Health: Candidates should be physically and mentally healthy, without pre-existing health concerns.
Stable Weight: The procedure is designed for those near their target weight with fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
Non-Smoker: Smoking can affect healing and increase complications. Patients must stop smoking before and after surgery to support recovery.
Informed Decision: Candidates must fully understand the procedure, including its risks, benefits, and recovery.

Understanding the Procedure

The procedure, recovery & risks

What Happens During Buttock Liposuction Surgery?

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.

How Long Does Buttock Liposuction Surgery Take?

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.

What is the Downtime After Buttock Liposuction?

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.

What is the Recovery Period for Buttock Liposuction?

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.
Follow-Up: Regular check-ups are essential to monitor recovery and address any concerns.

Final Results

While some initial changes may be visible as swelling subsides, the full results become apparent over several months as the body continues to heal and adjust. Recovery varies based on factors like the amount of fat removed, the number of areas treated, and individual healing rates. Following all aftercare instructions is critical to achieving the best possible outcome.
