What is Vaser Hi Def Liposuction?
Vaser High Def Liposuction is considered a minimally-invasive procedure intended for men and women who desire less fat and more muscle definition. Individual results may vary with ultrasound-assisted liposuction at Cosmos Aesthetics Canberra.
The technique is similar to other liposuction methods that utilise ultrasound. The technology uses ultrasound waves to disrupt or break apart the bonds that bind fat cells together for easier removal. Vaser Hi Def Liposuction goes one step further; it precisely removes localised adipose tissue in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, chest (males), legs and arms.
Why choose Vaser Hi Def Liposuction, Canberra?
Vaser Hi Def Liposuction is designed to target fat cells with the goal of minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, like nerves and blood vessels. However, individual experiences and results can vary, and it’s important to consider all options. As a result, patients tend to experience less bleeding and complications.1 Vaser Hi Def Liposuction can also be suitable for patients seeking treatment for mild skin laxity.2
How the Vaser Hi Def procedure works
- Conscious sedation– patients will undergo twilight sedation, however, general anaesthesia is an option. For patients who do prefer twilight sedation, medications are available to manage pain and discomfort levels.
- Tiny incisions and a numbing saline solution– after making small incisions in the skin, the doctor will inject a saline solution to begin to loosen fat cells. The saline solution also numbs the treatment area.
- Fat is broken down with ultrasound technology– using a small probe, ultrasound energy is transmitted to break up the fat cells, preparing the fat to be suctioned.
- Fat is easily suctioned away– with a small cannula, the adipose tissue is both superficially and deeply removed, targeting fat cells that are covering the underlying muscles.
How much does the Vaser HD liposcution procedure cost in Canberra?
The Vaser High Definition liposuction technology is far more advanced than traditional methods, requiring high-tech equipment. Additionally, the procedure is designed for high precision, which means procedure time can be longer than procedures that use less enhanced methods of liposuction. The Vaser HD requires doctors to undergo extensive training before using the equipment, which also influences the costs of the procedure.
Costs will vary from patient to patient, as each procedure will look different, taking all of the patient’s personal factors, preferences and aesthetic goals into consideration.
For women, Vaser High Definition liposuction costs start at $7,000.
For men, costs will start at $10,000.
Vaser HD liposuction costs are calculated with:
- The anaesthesia fees
- The type and number of treatment areas
- The patient’s body type
- The patient’s desired results
- The amount of time spent in surgery
In one procedure, multiple areas of the body can be treated, saving extra costs and recovery time in the long term. Each treatment area will cost about $2,000 to treat, which will be calculated in the total procedure costs. As well as saving costs, treating more than one area of the body at once requires only a single recovery period.
Anaesthesia fees will depend on the type of anaesthesia chosen, either twilight sedation or general anaesthesia. The type of treatment areas influence costs as although all areas will require precision due to the nature of the procedure, some areas may require more time to treat than others. The amount of time spent in surgery is also influenced by the number of treatment areas.
The clearest and easiest way to determine your total costs is to have an informative and thorough consultation at Cosmos Aesthetics Canberra. One of our experienced doctors can assess your needs, your individual characteristics, and your treatment areas, allowing for a personalised estimation of the total procedure costs. Your consultation is also a great opportunity to discuss anything that you are not sure about, as it is designed to make you feel prepared for your procedure. During your consultation, the necessary preparation and recovery instructions will be explained, as well as the associated risks of the procedure.

Frequently asked
After treatment, patients may experience mild swelling and bruising. Any discomfort can be managed with pain medication and the use of compression garments. Drainage tubes may be inserted into the treatment areas to collect fluids for the first three to five days after treatment.
Most patients can return to work and other regular activities after one week. Strenuous exercise and other activities are not recommended and best avoided for two to three weeks after treatment. Swelling will continue to decrease, and skin will continue to retract up to six months after surgery. Scars will usually heal and become less noticeable over time, but they may not go away completely.
Since your procedure will be tailored to you, you will be given personalised recovery instructions to follow that will help you support your healing process. To help you ensure a sufficient recovery, we recommend following a healthy diet, staying hydrated and getting as much rest as you can.
Some swelling can be expected for three to four weeks, which can interfere with your results becoming completely visible. The body needs to fully heal to reveal the outcome.
Although Vaser Hi Def is considered more advanced than the traditional method, no procedure is without risk. During your consultation, your Cosmos Aesthetics Canberra doctor will outline all of the associated possible side effects in detail. Some complications include infection, prolonged swelling, allergic reaction, bruising, or being unsatisfied with your results.
To help minimise risks, follow your preparation and recovery instructions and closely monitor your health during your recovery.
Gaining a small amount of weight should not affect the results too much but significant weight gain can make the treated areas to look less defined.
