VASER Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that results in minimal discomfort, downtime, reduced blood loss and a faster recovery.

Q: Who is a Good Candidate for VASER Liposuction?

As VASER liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, you should be at or near your ideal weight (within 30%), with the intention of getting rid of stubborn, residual fat. You should also not have medical conditions that could impair the healing process.

Q: What Areas Does VASER Liposuction Treat?

VASER Liposuction is very flexible and can effectively target: the abdomen, back, hips, thighs, arms, male and female breasts, cheeks, jaw and neck, as well as the buttocks.

Q: More Efficient & Safer Than Conventional Lipo

1. The VASER Lipo is gentler yet more targeted; and it also removes larger and denser fats more easily than the conventional method. It is flexible, giving patients the ability to target more parts of the body for a more contoured figure overall. 2. Unlike traditional liposuction which manually dislodges fat cells (possibly damaging surrounding tissue), VASER is a minimally invasive form of liposuction that uses ultrasound to break up fat cells – a much gentler and more precise method. Learn about the difference between VASER Liposuction and Traditional Liposuction.

Q: How the VASER Lipo Works

1. The patient will receive IV sedation so that they do not have any awareness or memory of the surgery. 2. A small probe is inserted between the skin and muscle layers and ultrasound energy is transmitted to break up fatty tissues. 3. Selected fat tissues are precisely targeted and broken down into liquid form, without affecting surrounding tissues. This results in minimal trauma and a faster recovery. 4. The liquefied fat is then easily and gently removed (aspirated) using a cannula.

VASER Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that results in minimal discomfort, downtime, reduced blood loss and a faster recovery.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. Unlike weight loss, which reduces the size of fat cells, liposuction physically removes fat cells for a more defined and sculpted look.

Targets stubborn fat in areas resistant to diet and exercise
Creates a contoured, proportionate body shape
Can be combined with other procedures for enhanced results

Liposuction is NOT a weight-loss procedure but rather a method to refine and sculpt the body for a more balanced silhouette.

Who is a
Good Candidate
for VASER Liposuction?

VASER Liposuction is ideal for individuals who:

Have localised fat deposits that do not go away with diet and exercise

Are at or near their ideal weight but want better body definition

Have good skin elasticity to ensure smooth contouring after fat removal

Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations

Liposuction is not suitable for major weight loss or as a treatment for loose skin. If significant skin tightening is needed, alternative procedures such as a tummy tuck may be recommended.

You should also not have medical conditions that could impair the healing process.

What Areas Does VASER Liposuction Treat?

Liposuction can target various areas of the body, including:

Abdomen & Waist – For a flatter, more defined stomach
Thighs – Inner and outer thigh contouring
Arms – Slimming down excess fat for a more toned look
Back & Bra Roll – Eliminating stubborn fat from the upper and lower back
Hips & Flanks ("Love Handles") – Smoothing out side bulges for a shapelier waistline
Chin & Neck (Double Chin Reduction) – Enhancing jawline definition

At SW1, our plastic surgeons will assess your body type and goals to determine the most effective treatment areas for you.

Can the Removed Fat be Transferred to the Breasts?

The fat harvested from VASER Liposuction is not suitable for transferral to the breasts. However, our plastic surgery clinic does provide another method of liposuction that allows for fat transfer to the breasts to achieve a beautiful and modest breast augmentation.

How the
VASER Lipo
Works

The patient will receive IV sedation so that they do not have any awareness or memory of the surgery.

A small probe is inserted between the skin and muscle layers and ultrasound energy is transmitted to break up fatty tissues.

Selected fat tissues are precisely targeted and broken down into liquid form, without affecting surrounding tissues. This results in minimal trauma and a faster recovery.

The liquefied fat is then easily and gently removed (aspirated) using a cannula.

The heat generated during the process also allows for a moderate degree of collagen production and skin tightening effect, further improving the aesthetic outcome.

Road to Recovery

Rest assured that in the hands of an experienced plastic surgeon and proper post-op care, your recovery will be a speedy and satisfying one.

Results can be immediately visible; however, the final result will only be evident after 6 months.

Mild swelling and bruising are expected for 1 to 2 weeks, and customised pressure garments will help reduce swelling and improve contour.
