Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs and arms. This minimally-invasive procedure eliminates fat tissue to improve body contours and proportions, providing a more sculpted and toned appearance. Liposuction is suitable for individuals who have persistent fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction, also known as Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. (VASER) Liposuction, is an evidence-based technique that uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells before removal. The ultrasound waves selectively target and liquefy fat cells, making them easier to extract while preserving surrounding tissues such as nerves and blood vessels. This approach minimises bruising, reduces downtime, and results in smoother and more natural-looking body contours.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (such as VASER liposuction) is an advanced body contouring procedure that uses ultrasonic waves to gently break down and remove unwanted fat. Unlike traditional liposuction, this machine-assisted method targets fat cells precisely, leaving surrounding tissues largely unharmed, resulting in smoother contours and faster recovery.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction is versatile and can target multiple areas, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, chest, and chin. It’s especially effective for areas with stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (such as VASER) is not intended for weight loss. It’s a body contouring technique that enhances your natural body shape by removing fat in targeted areas. Ideal candidates are usually close to their ideal weight (and BMI) and seeking a more refined silhouette.
Recovery varies from person to person. Generally, you may return to light activities within a few days, with most patients resuming their normal routine in about 1-2 weeks. Swelling and mild discomfort may persist for a few weeks, but results will continue to improve as the body heals.
Initial results are typically visible within a few weeks as swelling reduces. However, final results may take 3-6 months to become fully apparent as your body adjusts and heals, revealing a smoother, more contoured appearance.
The fat cells removed during Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction are permanently gone. However, maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle is essential to preserve results. Future weight fluctuations may affect remaining fat cells in the treated or other areas.
