Vaser Liposuction, where Vaser stands for ‘Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance,’ employs ultrasonic energy to disintegrate and liquefy fat before its removal. The procedure involves inserting a small probe emitting ultrasound waves into the targeted area. This is followed by the suctioning out of the fat through minor incisions. This technique can be applied to various body parts, including the abdomen, thighs, calves, buttocks, upper arms, neck, and chin, and can be performed under either general or local anaesthetic.
If you’re struggling with stubborn fat pockets despite dietary changes and regular exercise, Vaser lipo could be an option for you. The potential benefits include:
Like all surgical procedures, Vaser lipo carries some risks and potential side effects. Although considered low-risk, possible complications can include:
Your surgeon will discuss these risks during your consultation.
Initially, you’ll be administered anaesthetic, the type of which will depend on the areas being treated. Once the anaesthetic takes effect, small incisions will be made in the targeted areas, and a saline solution containing anaesthetic will be injected to minimise discomfort and facilitate fat breakdown. The Vaser probe is then inserted to emit ultrasound energy, selectively liquefying the fat cells for extraction via a cannula. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the treatment area and the volume of fat to be removed.
If you’re near your ideal body weight but have areas resistant to diet and exercise, you could be a suitable candidate. You should also have good skin elasticity and be over 18, in good health, and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes.
Post-procedure, you may experience some discomfort which will be manageable with over-the-counter painkillers. A compression garment must be worn for up to six weeks to control swelling and optimise your results. Depending on the area treated, you may be able to return to work within a few days, but you could require up to two weeks off. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least two weeks.
