    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

    VASER LIPOSUCTION OVERVIEW & COST

    Potential Candidates for Vaser Liposuction

    Vaser Liposuction may not be suitable for everyone. However, you might be a potential candidate if:

    • You have excess fat that doesn’t respond to a balanced diet and consistent exercise.
    • You are in good overall health, both physically and mentally.
    • You have sufficient skin elasticity.
    • You are prepared to maintain a healthy lifestyle post-procedure.
    • You are either a non-smoker or are willing to stop smoking before and after the procedure.

    How Vaser Liposuction is Performed

    This procedure uses ultrasound energy to assist in breaking down fat cells for easier removal. After administering a numbing solution to minimise discomfort and blood loss, a small ultrasound cannula is inserted into the fatty tissue. The energy disrupts the fat cells, turning them into a liquid-like state for easier suction. Additionally, the process may influence collagen fibres beneath the skin.

    Treatment Areas

    Vaser Liposuction is versatile and can address a range of areas, including:

    • Thighs: Inner, outer, front, and back.
    • Midsection: Abdomen and flanks.
    • Chest: Including for male chest fat reduction.
    • Arms and Back: Upper arms, upper back.
    • Lower Face and Neck: Including the chin, jawline, and neck.
    • Legs: Knees, calves, and ankles.

    Costs of Vaser Liposuction

    The price of Vaser Liposuction varies depending on the number and size of treatment areas, the complexity of the procedure, and anaesthetic requirements. Prices at Cosmos Aesthetics start at $5,500 for the first area, with additional areas starting at $2,000 each. A personalised quote, including a breakdown of all costs, will be provided during your consultation.

    Risks & Recovery

    Post-Operation Recovery & Potential Risks

    What to Expect Post-Procedure

    After Vaser Liposuction, compression garments will be applied to support healing and minimise swelling. Fluid leakage may occur from the incision points for several days. Patients typically return to work within a week and are advised to avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks. Follow-up lymphatic massages are recommended to aid recovery.

    Potential Side Effects of Vaser Liposuction

    Like all surgical procedures, Vaser Liposuction comes with potential side effects, which include:

    • Pain and tenderness.
    • Temporary bruising and swelling.
    • Minor scarring from incision points.
    • Fluid accumulation beneath the skin.
    • Irregularities in skin texture.
    • Numbness or changes in sensation.
    • Possible infection or blood clots.

    These risks will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed before making a decision.

    How is Vaser liposuction different to traditional liposuction?

    Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells, offering a more precise approach than traditional methods. This technique reduces trauma to surrounding tissues and may result in shorter recovery times. While traditional liposuction directly removes solid fat, Vaser’s ultrasound liquefies the fat first, allowing for easier removal.

    Are Vaser liposuction results permanent?

    While the fat cells removed are permanently gone, the procedure cannot prevent you from gaining weight again. While you are more likely to gain weight in different areas of the body, the remaining fat cells in the treated area can still grow in size.

    How long does the procedure take to complete?

    You can expect your Vaser liposuction to take between one and four hours to complete, depending on the areas treated and the amount of fat removed.

    Will I feel any pain during the Vaser liposuction procedure?

    Your Vaser liposuction procedure is performed using twilight sedation and local anaesthesia, so you should feel very little during the procedure. If you experience any discomfort or pain during recovery, you can relieve this with medications prescribed by your doctor.

    How many treatments will I need?

    Our doctors at Cosmos Clinic always aim to achieve the desired results during your initial liposuction procedure. However, some patients may need additional treatments, depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed.

    How much fat can Vaser liposuction remove?

    You can remove up to 5L of fat in one session. If you wish to remove more 5L of fat, you may need to have multiple Vaser procedures.

    Does Vaser liposuction leave a scar?

    While scarring is an inevitable part of any surgical procedure, significant scarring after liposuction is rare. The incisions required to insert the Vaser probes are only small and will be placed in hidden locations.

    What are the risks and side effects associated with Vaser liposuction?

    Every invasive procedure comes with risks. Some of the potential side effects you may experience after your Vaser liposuction procedure include:

    • Bruising and bleeding
    • Pain and aching
    • Excess skin
    • Persistent swelling
    • Poor scarring
    • Fluid accumulation under the skin
    • Asymmetry or skin irregularities
    • Infections
    • Blood clots
    • Skin burns
    • Numbness
