What Is Vaser Liposuction? Everything You Need to Know About the Ultrasonic Fat Removal Technique
What is Vaser Liposuction?
Vaser Liposuction is an advanced liposuction technology that delivers effective results without the long recovery periods associated with traditional methods.
This technique is used to remove fat from specific areas of the body, aiming to reduce the negative effects of localized fat accumulation. It's especially suitable for individuals seeking targeted fat removal with a relatively quick healing process.
Using ultrasonic sound waves, the fat is broken down and removed with minimal surgical intervention. Since these sound waves specifically target fat cells, they leave surrounding tissues unharmed. This makes Vaser Liposuction a preferred choice. The operation causes minimal pain or discomfort, allowing patients to quickly return to their daily routines.
Bruising and swelling are typically minimal. Wearing a compression garment after the procedure can enhance the results. Usually worn for 2-3 weeks, this garment supports better skin tightening. However, the results are not permanent. If a person returns to unhealthy eating habits or stops exercising, fat can reaccumulate.
Another key advantage of Vaser Liposuction is that the extracted fat can be reused as a filler in other parts of the body. This means fat removed from the abdomen can be used to enhance the breasts, correct asymmetries in the legs, fill facial lines, or plump the lips. As a result, patients can achieve both a slimmer and more youthful appearance.
Who is Vaser Liposuction Suitable For?
This procedure is ideal for those who maintain a healthy lifestyle but struggle with stubborn fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise.
It’s a safe and low-risk option and can be applied to men with gynecomastia (excess breast tissue). Vaser Liposuction is also used on the buttocks, abdomen, arms, thighs, knees, and cheeks, where fat can be broken down and possibly transferred elsewhere. The key difference from traditional liposuction is that fat is first emulsified, which leads to more visible and refined results afterward.
What Should Patients Consider Before Having Vaser Liposuction?
Although Vaser Liposuction is considered a low-risk operation, it is still a delicate procedure that requires special attention before and after the treatment. Here are the key considerations:
Choosing the Right Specialist
One of the most important factors for success is choosing a highly experienced and specialized surgeon. At Hosfinder Clinic, our board-certified plastic surgeons are committed to delivering results that meet your expectations.
Fat Removal Planning
The amount of fat to be removed must be carefully evaluated according to the patient’s health status. We ensure all procedures at Hosfinder stay within safe clinical limits through personalized planning.
Usage of Extracted Fat
Fat removed with Vaser technology is ideal for transfer procedures. It can be used safely for volume enhancement in areas such as the breasts, hips, face, or lips.
Importance of Diet and Exercise
While Vaser Liposuction reduces fat cells, maintaining the results depends on a healthy lifestyle. For lasting outcomes, a balanced diet and regular physical activity are highly recommended.
Which Areas Can Be Treated with Vaser Liposuction?
At Hosfinder Clinic, Vaser Liposuction can target one or multiple areas in a single session. For men, it is also an effective solution for gynecomastia. Common areas treated in women include:
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Arms
- Double chin
It can also be applied to inner and outer thighs, knees, waist, back, and chest. For smaller areas, local anesthesia is used, while larger procedures may require sedation or general anesthesia.
Vaser Liposuction Procedure Overview
Vaser Liposuction is virtually painless. In case of any discomfort, local anesthesia ensures a smooth and comfortable experience. The duration depends on the number and size of the areas treated, typically lasting 1–2 hours.
After the procedure, patients rest for 3–4 hours before being discharged. Most can resume daily activities within a few days. Wearing a compression garment post-treatment is advised to support healing.
Patients may lose 3–4 kilograms as a result of the procedure. While initial results are often visible right away, optimal outcomes appear around 5–6 weeks post-treatment.
