What is Vaser Hi Def Liposuction?

Vaser Hi Def Liposuction, also known as hi-definition liposuction, hi-definition liposculpture, or hi-def lipo, is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that involves targeting fat tissue in specific parts of the body.

VASER is an acronym for vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance. The technology uses ultrasound waves to gently break down localised fat cells.

The goal of the treatment is to strategically suction away fat from deeper layers while leaving behind a thin cover of adipose tissue over underlying muscles.

Why choose Vaser Hi Def liposuction, Gold Coast?

This ultrasound-assisted technique is designed to liquefy fat while aiming to minimise damage to other tissues, though individual experiences may vary. This results in less bleeding.1 Furthermore, studies show that Vaser produces superior tissue retraction.2 This means the treatment may be suitable for patients with mild skin laxity.

1. Conscious sedation– the procedure will only require twilight sedation with the use of medication to minimise discomfort to perform, although, patients can choose general anaesthesia if preferred.
2. Saline solution– after making small incisions, a saline solution will be injected to loosen the unwanted fat cells as well as create a numbing effect in the treatment area.
3. Ultrasound technology– to break down fat cells, a small probe will be used to transmit ultrasound energy. This allows the fat to be removed.
4. Gentle liposuction – a small cannula will superficially and deeply remove the desired adipose tissue.

What to expect after the procedure

After treatment, it’s normal for patients to experience some minor swelling and bruising. Your doctor will prescribe medication to control pain and discomfort after the procedure. The use of compression garments can help with healing. Drainage tubes may be inserted into the treatment areas to collect fluids for the first three to five days after treatment.

Most patients are able to 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, and we recommend checking with your doctor that you are ready to resume weight training before you do so.

Swelling will continue to decrease, and skin will continue to retract up to six months after surgery. Therefore, it can take up to four to six months to notice your final results from the procedure. Some patients may need an additional procedure to further enhance their results after six months. Scars will usually heal and become less noticeable over time; however, they may not disappear completely.

During your recovery, you will need to take care of your surgical sites, remember to attend any follow-up appointments, and optimise your health. Following a healthy diet, staying hydrated and making sure that you are getting enough rest will support your recovery.

Vaser High Definition liposuction costs will vary from patient to patient. Since the Vaser technology is a more advanced method of liposuction than traditional methods, costs for the procedure will be higher.

Vaser High Definition liposuction starting prices:

• Women: $7,000
• Men: $10,000

Each patient is unique and will have different goals for the procedure, which will influence the details of the procedure. These details will determine the costs and can be discussed during your consultation. Your total procedure costs are calculated based on your:

• Chosen treatment areas
• Body type
• Desired procedure outcome
• Aesthetic preferences

In one procedure, multiple areas of the body can be treated, which can lower the costs of multiple procedures that would only target one treatment area each time. Each treatment area will influence the procedure costs, however, treating multiple areas in one procedure as opposed to many single procedures can reduce the overall costs. Treating multiple areas together will mean that you will only have one recovery period.

Additionally, other details of your procedure will also influence your total costs. These details may include the anaesthesia fees, the amount of fat that will be removed, and the procedure time.

The best, most accurate, and personalised way to determine your costs for Vaser High Definition liposuction is to book a consultation at Cosmos Aesthetics in the Gold Coast. Your treatment areas, individual characteristic, goals, chosen type of anaesthesia, and estimated procedure time can all be considered during your consultation, enabling us to provide you with a quote. Your consultation is a great opportunity to ask any questions and discuss any concerns. You will be provided with information on preparation, recovery, and the specifics of the procedure, so that you can feel prepared and ready for your procedure.
