What Are the Benefits of Vaser Liposuction?

January 27th, 2023

Are you looking for a way to remove stubborn fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise, but you don’t want the pain that comes with traditional liposuction surgery?

If the answer is yes, Vaser liposuction may be the perfect option for you.

Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound technology to break apart and loosen fat cells, making them easy to remove.

You can find out more about how vaser liposuction works and if it is for you.

Join us as we look at the benefits of Vaser liposuction, as well as some of the questions our clients frequently ask us.

Can Vaser liposuction be used anywhere on the body?

Yes! Traditional liposuction can only be carried out on certain parts of the body like the hips, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, but Vaser liposuction can be used anywhere.

This is one of the significant advantages Vaser liposuction has over traditional liposuction.

However, as it’s less invasive and more targeted, Vaser liposuction can be used on parts of the body that would not usually be eligible for liposuction. For example, the arms or face.

Vaser liposuction can even be used to improve the appearance of cellulite. This is because Vaser lipo is more successful at eliminating fibrous fat.

How long does Vaser liposuction take?

It depends on what part of your body is being treated. If you are getting Vaser lipo on one part of your body, the surgery will take less time than if you’re having multiple areas treated.

We advise that the procedure will take between 30 minutes and three hours, but we will be able to give you a more accurate time when you come in for your no-obligation consultation.

Are you awake during Vaser liposuction?

One of the major differences between Vaser liposuction and traditional liposuction is that you are awake throughout. General anaesthetic is used for traditional liposuction, meaning you are asleep for the duration of the surgery.

As Vaser lipo is less painful, it is usually performed under local anaesthetic. However, bear in mind that Vaser liposuction may be performed under general anaesthetic in very rare circumstances.

As Vaser liposuction is carried out using local anaesthetic, your recovery time is shorter, and you can spend more time recovering at home rather than in a hospital.

What is the recovery time for Vaser liposuction?

Vaser liposuction is excellent if you don’t want to spend a lot of time recuperating. This is because you’re less likely to experience bruising, blood loss, and other injuries.

If you have traditional liposuction, you will generally have to stay in the hospital overnight, but with Vaser lipo, you can usually go home the same day.

With Vaser liposuction, you can be up and about and even be back at work, after two to three days. If you opt for traditional liposuction, it may take several weeks before you can return to a normal lifestyle.

Can Vaser liposuction tighten skin?

Both Vaser liposuction and traditional liposuction work by removing stubborn areas of fat from the body, leading to more toned and sculpted features. While you may see a tightening of loose skin, you may not see the results you want if you have lots of excess skin.

There are other surgeries available if you want to tighten excess skin. For example, if you have lost a lot of weight around the abdomen and have loose skin, you may be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck.

How long will it take to see the results of Vaser liposuction?

As the fat cells are flushed out of your body during surgery, you can immediately see the results! However, you might need to wait between one and six months to see optimal fat loss.

Drinking lots of water, eating healthily, and stopping smoking will help you see the best results.

Is Vaser liposuction more expensive than traditional liposuction?

Vaser liposuction costs slightly more than traditional liposuction, as the surgical procedure is more advanced. However, the good news is that we offer competitively priced treatments so you can enjoy the real benefits of Vaser liposuction without breaking the bank.

We offer Vaser lipo for the face from £2500 and for the body from £3954. Want to see if Vaser liposuction is right for you? Get in touch today to arrange your free consultation with our friendly and professional team.
