When it comes to removing stubborn or unwanted fat from your body, Vaser liposuction could be the answer for you.
This specific form of liposuction breaks apart fat cells and loosens them from your deeper tissues so the fat can be removed far more effectively during the procedure.
This is done by ultrasound technology which uses powerful waves to disrupt the bonds between fat cells and is where the name Vaser comes from; vibration amplification of sound energy resonance.

Because Vaser lipo removes unwanted fat cells, it’s usually carried out on areas where that stubborn fat gathers such as your hips, thighs, tummy and the underside of the arms. It can also be used on your chin and neck, upper back and buttocks.
Wherever you’re considering having the procedure done, it’s important to remember that VASER liposuction isn’t weight loss surgery. Liposuction, in general, is body contouring surgery which remove stubborn fat that won’t budge no matter your diet or exercise regime.
Liposuction also only removes ‘subcutaneous fat’ – the fat found below the skin and above the muscle.
Maintaining the final result includes a commitment to a healthy lifestyle such as eating well and exercising, all of which will be discussed at your initial consultation.
Liposuction using Vaser technology works differently to traditional liposuction because of the technology involved, yet it follows the same premise of removing unwanted fat from stubborn areas of the body.
We will talk through the process with an example of a woman getting Vaser liposuction on her arms – a process that lots of people are not eligible for when it comes to traditional lipo due to the thin skin in that area.
With Vaser liposuction, it is much more likely that the patient will be eligible for treatment on her arms as Vaser is far less invasive than traditional liposuction. A thin cannula is delivered into the skin to disperse ultrasound vibrations, breaking down fat into a liquid which is then removed.
After treatment, the patient can leave the clinic with arms that are more toned and sculpted, with a very brief recovery period of just a few days.
Vaser liposuction results are better than traditional liposuction for multiple reasons, but one reason that we find is popular with our patients is the recovery. If a patient were to receive traditional liposuction, they would be in op for longer and have heavier bruising and more scarring when compared to Vaser.
If you are looking for affordable Vaser lipo then you will be happy with our great prices. In general, Vaser liposuction costs slightly more than traditional lipo, but we have some very competitively priced treatments so you can get amazing results at an affordable price.
Vaser lipo is a type of liposuction that is different to the traditional method because it is less invasive and uses ultrasound vibrations to break down subcutaneous fat that won’t budge despite lifestyle changes.
Pretty much anyone over the age of 18 can have VASER liposuction but it’s important to remember this is not a treatment for obesity. It will help remove stubborn pockets of fat that you can’t shift through exercise of diet - but it’s not a substitute for weight loss.
Health wise, if you are a smoker then you’ll be asked to quit 3 weeks prior to undergoing the procedure as smoking can negatively impact your body’s ability to recover efficiently.
Your surgeon will discuss all aspects of your procedure, after care and specific guidelines at your consultation.
Because Vaser lipo is a minimally-invasive procedure, your recovery time will be shorter with many people able to return to work after 2-3 days.
As the procedure involves just minor incisions, you’ll be left with minimal scarring and no need for stitches. This also means you’ll have less bleeding and less bruising around the incision site.
The ultrasound waves only break down fat cells which means we can more selective in choosing the target areas. Blood vessels and nerves are also less likely to be damaged.
Yes, liposuction in general has been performed as a cosmetic treatment for many years and Vaser lipo was introduced around 15 years ago.
If you’re considering the procedure then you do need to be good health and not too far away from your goal weight as this isn’t a weight loss substitute.
Your surgeon will discuss this – as well as your desired outcome – at your initial consultation and together you’ll decide the best treatment path for you and your body.
Vaser liposuction generally takes less time than traditional liposuction does. The specific procedure time will depend on what parts of your body you are getting treated.
Understandably, if you are just getting Vaser lipo on your arms then this won’t take as long as if you are getting your tummy and your thighs done too!
More information personal to you can be told at your consultation, but you should expect to spend between 30 minutes and a couple of hours in our clinic – although you will be able to leave on the same day while you recover.
No, Vaser liposuction and tummy tucks are not the same. However, they can be combined on the same patient to achieve the best results by removing stubborn subcutaneous fat whilst toning the tummy.
By having your surgeon perform Vaser liposuction rather than normal liposuction during a tummy tuck, you will benefit from a quicker recovery time and a shapelier appearance.
