Liposuction Adelaide

Vaser Liposuction

We exclusively use Vaser Liposuction for all our liposuction procedures in Adelaide.

Vaser Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses ultrasound technology to break up and remove excess fat deposits. Ultrasound waves target specific areas of the body, softening fat cells into a liquified state that can be suctioned through small incisions made in the areas being treated. out with greater precision. Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction goes further in removing fat from om top of an around muscle groups for a more toned and athletic look.

Non-Surgical Options

For patients who prefer non-surgical options rather than liposculpture surgery, we offer treatments like CoolSculpting and Fat Dissolving Injections. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that freezes and eliminates fat cells to reshape the body through cryolipolysis. Fat-dissolving injections are non-surgical treatments that use injectable solutions to break down and eliminate fat cells and reduce localised fat deposits.

Areas of the Body Suitable for Liposuction

Abdomen:

Remove excess fat from the upper and lower abdomen for a flatter midsection. If there is loose skin or excess skin present on the stomach area, you may require an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with a plastic surgeon. If this is relevant to you, you will be referred to a plastic surgery specialist.

Flanks/Love Handles:

Treating the hips and waist can reduce stubborn fat deposits localised in the flanks and love handles area.

Thighs:

Suitable patients can address unwanted pockets of fat in the inner thighs, outer thighs, front thighs, and back thighs.

Back and Bra Line:

Remove fat deposits in the upper back and lower back, to smooth out the appearance of the bra line area.

Arms:

Fat removal can be performed with Vaser Lipo on the underside of the upper arms in the triceps.

Buttocks:

Not to be confused with a fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL surgery), liposuction of the buttocks can reduce the amount of fat and the overall size of the area.

A treatment option for suitable candidates with localised fat deposits to slim the appearance of their lower legs.

Chest:

Breast reduction for men, also known as gynaecomastia liposuction, can treat unwanted pockets of fat in the male breasts.

The Liposuction Journey at Cosmos Adelaide

Initial Consultations

The initial consultations for Vaser Liposuction are an important and mandatory step in the process of considering undergoing liposuction surgery. During these appointments, you will meet with your treating doctor for liposuction in Adelaide, who will assess your candidacy for the procedure, discuss your goals and expectations, examine the areas of concern, and evaluate your overall health. The doctors at our Adelaide clinic will explain the Vaser Liposuction technique, assess your suitability to undergo cosmetic surgery, the type of sedation to be used for your body contouring procedure, the areas being treated, and the projected recovery time you may potentially experience.

During the initial consultations you will provided with comprehensive information to read and consider detailing the risks, side effects, and complications of Vaser Liposuction, as well as potential benefits, and realistic outcomes that can potentially be achieved. A mandatory minimum seven day cooling off period following the second consultation is required, along with a referral from your GP. Attending the required initial consultations are an opportunity to ask questions, address any concerns, and ensure you have a clear understanding of the procedure before making a decision about whether you wish to proceed.

The Cost of Liposuction Surgery

The cost for liposuction surgery in Adelaide varies depending on the patient and factors such as the number of areas being treated, the amount of fat to be removed, as well as the body weight and build of the enquiring patient. A detailed and individual quote for your individual circumstances and areas of concern will be provided to you during your initial consultations. Your quote will include an itemised breakdown of costs, such as your IV sedation or general anaesthetic fees, hospital facility fees, post-operative follow ups, and the required compression garments.

At Cosmos Adelaide, liposuction procedures will always start from a minimum base price of $6000, with each additional area costing a smaller fee from a minimum $2000, depending on the size, fat density, and individual factors of each patient. Please note that these prices are just a guide, and the total cost for surgery will vary based on your individual circumstances.

After completing the mandatory seven day cooling off period following your second consultation, a booking fee is required if you decide to proceed with having a liposuction procedure. This fee covers the pre-operative appointment and the cost of your compression garments. Following this a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total cost is required. The remaining balance must be paid at least ten working days before your procedure. Cosmos Adelaide does not offer payment plans or financing options, and please note that Medicare does not currently cover liposuction or cosmetic surgery in Australia.

The Day of Your Liposuction Procedure

A member of our Adelaide team will contact you before your procedure to provide you with the necessary details, including the time you should arrive at our facility for check-in. It is recommended to shower the night before and the morning of the surgery, preferably using an antibacterial shower gel, which can be purchased from any pharmacy. You will also be given specific instructions about fasting, which will include refraining from consuming food or liquids for a certain number of hours before your scheduled arrival time.

Your liposuction procedure will be carried out at our fully licensed and accredited facility in Adelaide. Upon arrival, our nursing team will conduct routine measurements and assessments, such as recording your weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature. The areas of your body that will be treated during the procedure will be marked up and drawn on. You will also have a final pre-procedure consultation with your doctor to answer any remaining questions you may have.

Undergoing Vaser Liposuction Surgery in Adelaide

Vaser Liposuction is performed under either IV sedation and a tumescent local anaesthetic numbing solution, or general anaesthesia with a tumescent local anaesthesia numbing solution. The specific type of anaesthesia for your individual procedure will be discussed during your initial consultations with the doctor.

During the procedure, small incisions will be made in each of the areas being treated. A specialised probe that utilises ultrasound energy waves will be used to break apart and liquify the excess fat deposits in the treatment areas. A cannula will then be used to extract the unwanted fat cells from the body via the tiny incision sites.

The duration of liposuction surgery can vary depending on the complexity of your case, the number of areas being treated, and whether you are undergoing any additional fat transfer elements. It can take anywhere between 30 minutes to 3 hours.

Following surgery, you will spend the next few hours resting in the recovery ward under the observation and care of our dedicated nursing team. The recovery nurses will assist you with walking, eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom, and prepare you for a safe discharge home, which will be on the same day.

Prior to deciding to undergo liposuction, all patients must understand that the experiences and outcomes of one person, does not reflect or guarantee the outcomes another person may receive. Liposuction is a surgical procedure and the final results achieved vary due to multiple factors.

Post-Procedure Care and the Recovery Process

After a liposuction procedure, it is essential that all patients adhere to the post-procedure aftercare instructions provided to them and attend all scheduled follow up appointments. Cosmos Adelaide patients are all provided with specific instructions for wearing their compression garments, managing pain and nausea following liposuction surgery, as well as performing daily lymphatic drainage massage on their treated areas daily.

Swelling will fluctuate over the weeks following your surgical procedure as your body heals. By six weeks post procedure, the results from your Vaser Lipo will become increasingly more visible, but the final results from liposuction surgery can take up to six months or longer to fully appear. By adhering to post-operative care instructions and maintaining a healthy lifestyle encompassing regular exercise and a balanced diet, long-term results and the benefits of liposuction can be sustained.
