Whether you’re targeting problem areas or enhancing your natural curves, VASER provides an advanced solution for achieving a toned, sculpted physique. Our skilled surgeons are dedicated to delivering the best outcomes using the most advanced technology available.
What is VASER Liposuction?
VASER liposuction involves the use of ultrasound waves delivered through a probe inserted under the skin. These sound waves disrupt fat cells, transforming them into a liquid form. The liquefied fat is then suctioned out using a small cannula. The ultrasound also tightens the skin, making it firmer and smoother as the fat is removed.
Here’s how the procedure works:
Anaesthesia
Local or general anaesthesia is applied, depending on the treatment area.
Fat Liquefaction
The VASER ultrasound probe liquefies the fat in the targeted area.
Fat Removal
Once liquefied, the fat is gently suctioned out using a thin cannula.
Skin Tightening
The ultrasound energy promotes collagen production, helping tighten and smooth the skin.
VASER’s advanced technology ensures precision and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

Benefits of VASER Liposuction
VASER liposuction offers several advantages over traditional methods:
Precision Sculpting
VASER provides enhanced control over fat removal, allowing for more defined body contours.
Minimal Downtime
Recovery time is quicker than with traditional liposuction, with most patients resuming normal activities within just a few days.
Skin Tightening
The ultrasound energy helps tighten the skin, providing smoother, firmer results.
Less Bruising and Swelling
VASER’s precision causes less trauma to surrounding tissues, reducing bruising and swelling post-procedure.
Long-Lasting Results
The fat cells removed are permanent, and with a healthy lifestyle, the results can last for years.
What to Expect During VASER Liposuction
VASER liposuction typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the number of areas treated. The procedure is minimally invasive, and the treatment areas are numbed using local anaesthesia, though general anaesthesia may be used for larger areas.
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at Lux Plastic Surgery, where we will assess your goals and design a personalised treatment plan.
The Procedure
Once anaesthesia is administered, small incisions are made, and the VASER ultrasound probe is inserted to liquefy the fat. The liquefied fat is then suctioned out.
Post-Procedure Care
Compression garments are applied to reduce swelling and support your body as it heals.
VASER liposuction is a less invasive procedure than traditional liposuction, meaning patients experience less pain, bruising, and swelling and benefit from faster recovery.
Recovery After VASER Liposuction
One of the key benefits of VASER liposuction is the reduced recovery time. Here’s what you can expect:
Immediate Aftercare (Days 1-7)
Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common, but these symptoms subside within a few days.
Short-Term Recovery (1-2 Weeks)
Swelling will continue to reduce. Most patients are able to return to work within a few days, though it’s recommended to refrain from intense activities for 2-4 weeks.
Long-Term Recovery (4-6 Weeks)
Full results will begin to show after 3-6 months, as swelling fully subsides and the body heals.
Wearing compression garments as advised will help with swelling and support healing.
Who is Suitable for VASER Liposuction?
VASER liposuction is ideal for individuals who:
– Struggle with stubborn fat in specific areas that won’t respond to diet and exercise.
– Are near their ideal weight but want to shape and contour targeted areas.
– Have good skin elasticity, which helps achieve the best skin-tightening results.
It is important to note that VASER liposuction is not a weight loss solution, but a body-sculpting technique designed for individuals who have already reached a healthy weight and are looking to enhance their physique.
The average age of those opting for VASER liposuction typically ranges from 30 to 50 years, though it can benefit anyone with the right body type and goals.
