Liposuction for Hips & Waist

At Cosmos Clinic, all liposuction procedures are conducted using Vaser technology. Vaser, short for “Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance,” uses ultrasound energy to break apart fat cells before they are removed. This method allows for precise fat removal while minimising disruption to surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional liposuction techniques, Vaser utilises ultrasonic waves to loosen fat cells from fibrous tissue, making them easier to extract. The heat generated by the ultrasound may also contribute to skin effects, which vary between individuals and should be discussed with your doctor during consultation. For fat removal in the flank area, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and twilight sedation, with general anaesthesia available if preferred. Small incisions are made, typically in the underwear line, to insert the Vaser probe. This probe uses ultrasound to liquefy fat cells, which are then removed from the body using a cannula.

How Much Does Hips & Waist Lipsocution Cost?

The cost of Vaser liposuction varies depending on several factors, including the areas being treated, the amount of fat to be removed, the type of anaesthesia used, and the complexity of the procedure. During your consultation, your doctor will provide a personalised quote tailored to your individual needs and treatment plan. However, at Cosmos Clinic, prices start from $6,000.

To support healing, reduce swelling, and encourage skin adjustment, wearing a compression garment is necessary for five to six weeks post-surgery. Regular follow-up lymphatic massages, typically twice a week for two weeks, are also recommended. Tips for recovery include:

• Wear your prescribed compression garments as directed.
• Follow a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support healing.
• Pay attention to your body and avoid overexertion.
• Keep your surgical sites clean and follow aftercare instructions.
• Attend all scheduled post-surgical checkups for monitoring and guidance.
