If you’re looking to eliminate stubborn areas of fat and achieve the sculpted body you’ve always wanted, liposuction is a great way to do this.
However, did you know there are different types of liposuction available?
Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound technology to break down fat into liquid, which is then removed.
Traditional liposuction surgery uses a cannula and suction machine to remove deep layers of excess fat from the body.
Both procedures achieve similar goals of removing fat from areas of the body, but have different pros and cons. Let’s look at the differences between liposuction and Vaser liposuction, and which fat removal technique may be the right option for you.
Vaser liposuction vs liposuction
As a rule of thumb, traditional liposuction is the better option if you have large areas of fat that need removing. If you want to remove smaller pockets of fat and achieve a more sculpted look, then Vaser liposuction is ideal.
Both liposuction and Vaser liposuction have their advantages and disadvantages; however, both are fantastic options if you want to eliminate stubborn fat deposits that exercise and diet can’t remove.
Here are more pros and cons for both treatments.
Vaser liposuction can be carried out on more areas of the body
While traditional liposuction is excellent for removing fat from large areas, Vaser liposuction is better for smaller, more targeted areas.
For example, many people aren’t eligible for traditional liposuction on their arms as the skin is too thin. However, Vaser liposuction means that more people can have the procedure.
Vaser liposuction can even be used on the face, meaning you can use it to tighten and define problem areas like the neck and chin.
Does Vaser liposuction really work?
Vaser liposuction can be used to remove cellulite
Vaser liposuction is better than traditional liposuction for removing fibrous fat from the body. This is the tough, dimpled, non-squishy fat that is hard to eliminate through normal weight loss.
Cellulite is a fibrous fat, which means Vaser liposuction can be used to improve the appearance of cellulite found on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. This is something that traditional liposuction can’t do.
Vaser liposculpture is better for body sculpting
If you dream of toned arms, a defined jawline, or a stomach with a six-pack, Vaser liposuction is the ideal surgery.
As smaller pockets of fat are removed, you can work to add definition to specific parts of your body.
Your surgeon will consult with you before surgery to understand the results you want, and to maximise the effects of your procedure.
Vaser liposuction has a shorter recovery time
One of the main benefits of Vaser liposuction is the recovery time. As it is less invasive than liposuction, you’re less likely to experience blood loss and bruising.
You can be up and about and even back at work with Vaser liposuction within two to three days, whilst recovery from traditional liposuction can take weeks.
Liposuction is ideal for removing large, stubborn fat deposits
Liposuction is the best treatment for getting rid of residual fat deposits, the stubborn fat that stays with us even after weight loss through diet and exercise.
Liposuction is ideal for the removal of deep layers of fat in the body, like the tummy, thighs, hips, and buttocks. Conversely, due to the technology used, Vaser liposuction is less efficient if you want significant areas of fat removed.
Liposuction is more affordable
As Vaser liposuction is more advanced, it is a little more expensive than traditional liposuction. Our liposuction procedures for the body start from £3295, while Vaser liposuction starts from £3954.
However, given the fantastic results you can achieve, both procedures are definitely a worthwhile investment.
