VASER's ultrasound technology breaks down fat whilst protecting nerves and blood vessels, delivering smoother results and faster recovery than traditional liposuction. Whether you want a slimmer waistline or Hi-Def sculpting that reveals six-pack abs and athletic definition, VASER offers precision body contouring tailored to your goals.
What Is VASER Liposuction?
This ultrasound-assisted body sculpting technique selectively breaks down fat cells whilst preserving surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. This precision approach allows surgeons to sculpt with greater accuracy than traditional liposuction, resulting in smoother contours and enhanced muscle definition.
The tissue-selective technology minimises trauma, typically resulting in less bruising, reduced swelling, and faster recovery. Multiple areas can be treated in a single session for comprehensive body transformation.
Common Concerns VASER Liposuction Can Address
- Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Lack of body definition or muscle visibility
- Disproportionate body contours affecting confidence
- Previous liposuction with irregular or unsatisfactory results
Are You a Good Candidate?
- Within 15kg of your ideal weight with good skin elasticity
- Non-smoker or willing to stop 4 weeks before and after surgery
- Realistic expectations about outcomes and commitment to maintaining results through healthy lifestyle
Techniques & Options
VASER results depend heavily on your body fat percentage, skin quality, and what you want to achieve. Your surgeon will assess muscle tone underneath the fat, skin elasticity in each zone, and whether you're after subtle slimming or athletic definition. The procedure ranges from gentle volume reduction to high-definition sculpting that reveals individual muscle groups.
There are three main techniques:
VASER Lipo (Standard)
The foundational technique targeting subcutaneous fat to reduce volume and improve contours. Ideal for larger areas such as abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms.
- Effectively removes moderate to significant fat deposits
- Produces smooth, natural-looking contours
- Suitable for most body areas and patient types
VASER Hi-Def
An advanced technique that sculpts fat around muscle groups to reveal and enhance natural definition. Ideal for athletic patients seeking visible abs, pectorals, and arm definition.
- Creates visible muscle definition (abs, pectorals, arms)
- Requires excellent skin elasticity and low body fat
- Ideal for athletic patients seeking enhanced definition
VASER 4D
The most sophisticated approach, accounting for how muscles and contours appear during movement and different postures. Creates dynamic definition that looks natural in motion.
- Produces definition visible in multiple positions
- Accounts for muscle movement and body dynamics
- Represents the pinnacle of body contouring artistry
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3
Moderate swelling, bruising, and tenderness are normal and expected. You'll wear a compression garment and begin gentle walking from day one. Your care coordinator will check in daily to monitor your progress.
Week 1–2
Swelling begins to subside and bruising fades noticeably. Most patients feel well enough to return to desk work after 7–10 days. Daily activities become comfortable and you'll see early contour changes.
Weeks 3–6
Visible improvements become apparent as swelling continues reducing. You can gradually resume exercise, starting with light cardio and building intensity. Most patients return to full activity by week 6.
Months 3–6
Final contours emerge as residual swelling resolves and VASER's collagen- stimulating effects tighten the skin further. Full results are typically visible by 6 months.
What to Expect
Safety & Risks
VASER Liposuction is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks.
- Contour irregularities or asymmetry
- Seroma or persistent swelling
- Temporary numbness or altered sensation
- Thermal injury from ultrasound (rare)
- Infection or bleeding
- Fat embolism (rare)
VASER's ultrasound energy introduces a small thermal injury risk not present with traditional liposuction. Your surgeon will explain the energy settings used for each treatment zone, how tissue-selective technology minimises collateral damage, and what monitoring protocols are followed throughout the procedure.
