Vaser Liposuction

What is Vaser Liposuction?

Vaser Liposuction is an advanced method of liposculpture that involves removing excess fat and contouring the body to give a smooth result. Vaser stands for “Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance”, and it is one of the gentlest methods of liposuction.

Vaser Liposuction uses an ultrasound probe that is inserted into the fat layer under the skin to melt and then remove fat cells. Traditionally, liposuction techniques were less refined and separating the excess fat before suctioning was much like trying to shatter a brick into pieces before its removal. This meant more pain for the patient and a longer recovery time post operation.

Vaser Liposuction is vastly different to this and can be likened to transforming that brick of fat into a slab of butter – thus allowing the fat to be gently removed. The high energy from the ultrasound separates the fat cells from the fibrous tissue and transforms it into a butter-like form. The ultrasound energy also promotes skin tightening following the procedure, which reduces the chance of skin dimpling or sagging. The heat created by the ultrasound energy creates a contraction of the collagen fibres and tightening of the skin.

Cosmos Clinic was the first to acquire the new Vaser 2.0 in New South Wales and we currently have the most Vaser Liposuction systems in the world. This has allowed us to perform over 15,000 liposuction procedures in the last TEN years across the whole of Australia. At Cosmos Clinic, our doctors are renowned in body contouring – specifically for liposuction procedures. Our doctors have been trained by renowned surgeons around the world, including Dr Alfredo Hoyos (the inventor of Vaser High Definition Liposuction) and Dr Matlock (Beverly Hills, USA).

What are the advantages of Vaser Liposuction?

Vaser Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure and the advantages include:

• Quicker recovery: Due to the gentle nature of the ultrasound, this form of liposuction is less traumatic and has less downtime for patients.
• Skin Retraction: Ultrasonic energy promotes skin retraction, therefore tightening the skin and providing smooth contours.
• Precision: Both small and large volumes of fat can be extracted from different areas of the body. This allows the surgeon to be more precise while sculpting muscle definition for high definition Vaser.
• Fat Transfer: Fat tissue removed during the procedure is of high quality and can be used for fat grafting procedures on the same patient. (e.g. during a Brazilian Butt Lift or a buttock enhancement).
• Safer and minimally invasive: A safer, minimally invasive way of fat reduction, and can be done as a day procedure under twilight sedation. This not only avoids the complications of general anaesthesia but also allows the patient to be re-positioned and stood up during the procedure.
• More effective: More fat can be removed with this technique as compared to other techniques as it melts the fat gently before it is sucked out.

What is the difference between Vaser and Vaser High Definition Liposuction?

Vaser Liposuction shapes the body by getting rid of any uneven pockets of fat using ultrasound technology to separate the fat cells for easier removal. This ultimately gives a slimmer, toner look to the body. Vaser High Definition Liposuction goes one step further in the process of body sculpting. This technique removes fat from around and on top of the muscle groups to enhance the visibility of underlying muscles. This form of liposuction produces ultra-defined results with a more athletic appearance. The best candidates for this treatment have thick skin, good skin tone, and can feel the muscles underneath the skin, when contracting. For example, Vaser High Definition would remove the small amounts of fat in-between the abs, to bring out a perfect six pack.

I have a large amount of fat. Is Vaser Liposuction suitable?

Vaser, is not a replacement for diet and exercise however you can lose large amounts weight when you have Mega Liposuction.

What happens to the skin after Vaser Liposuction?

Vaser liposuction stimulates the formation of new collagen fibres via the use of heat energy created by the Vaser ultrasound. This allows the skin to retract – resulting in tighter, firmer skin.
