Vaser Liposuction
Targets excess fat that may be difficult to lose through diet and exercise alone. ⓘ
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can help remove stubborn fat that just won’t budge, no matter how much you diet and exercise. However, not all liposuction is the same. Each body area has its own set of considerations, benefits, and potential risks. Knowing what to expect for each specific area can help you make a more informed decision and set realistic expectations for your results. Below, we explore how liposuction can work for different parts of your body.
Where Can You Get Liposuction?
1. Abdomen and Waist
Abdominal Vaser liposuction is designed to remove excess fat from your stomach area and waist. This procedure can target both the upper and lower abdomen, as well as the flanks (hip area). The surgeon makes small incisions and uses a cannula (a thin tube) to suction out the fat.
| Procedure Time | Anaesthetic Type | Hospital Stay | Full Recovery | Final Results |
| 1-3 hours | Local with sedation | Day | 6 Weeks | 6-12 months |
2. Arms
Arm Vaser liposuction targets the upper arms to eliminate the excess arm skin. Small incisions are made near the elbow or armpit, and ultrasound technology is used to break down the fat, which is then suctioned out.
| Procedure Time | Anaesthetic Type | Hospital Stay | Full Recovery | Final Results |
| 1-3 hours | Local | Day | 4-6 Weeks | 6 months |
3. Thighs
Thigh Vaser liposuction helps slim down both the inner and outer thighs, giving your legs a more balanced and proportionate look. Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells, which are then suctioned out through small incisions.
| Procedure Time | Anaesthetic Type | Hospital Stay | Full Recovery | Final Results |
| 1-3 hours | Local with sedation | Day | 2-4 Weeks | 6-12 months |
Treatment Areas
Thigh fat can collect in various places on your thighs, and this differs from person to person. It can be broken down into four main areas:
- Inner Thighs: Inside your thighs, just below the groin, down to the knee.
- Outer Thighs: On the sides of your thighs, from the hips to the knee.
- Front of Thighs: The front part of your thighs, from the groin to the knee.
- Backs of Thighs: The part you sit on, from the buttocks to the knee
4. Chin and Neck
Chin and neck Vaser liposuction removes excess fat to refine the jawline and improve the profile. Small incisions are made under the chin or behind the ears, and ultrasound waves are used to liquefy the fat before it is suctioned out.
| Procedure Time | Anaesthetic Type | Hospital Stay | Full Recovery | Final Results |
| 1-3 hours | Local with sedation | Day | 4 Weeks | 6 months |
5. Buttocks
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) involves reshaping and enhancing the buttocks area. It involves removing fat from specific areas of your body (abdomen, thighs) and depositing that fat into the buttocks for a larger, more shapely bottom.
| Procedure Time | Anaesthetic Type | Hospital Stay | Full Recovery | Final Results |
| 2-4 hours | General | Day/Night | 6 Weeks | 6-12 months |
Liposuction Risks
Like any surgical procedure, liposuction comes with its own risks. These can include infection, blood clots, or complications related to anaesthesia. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common during the recovery period, and in some cases, there may be irregularities in skin or pigmentation changes. There’s also a risk of fluid accumulation, which might require additional treatment. It’s crucial to have realistic expectations and discuss potential risks thoroughly with your healthcare provider before deciding on the procedure.
