Vaser liposuction, or Vaser lipo for short, is a modern fat removal procedure that offers a less invasive, less painful method than traditional liposuction. Recovery time is also reduced.
‘Vaser’ stands for ‘vibration amplification of sound energy on resonance’. During treatment, Vaser lipo amplifies the natural vibration of fat cells in the body to break down stubborn, unwanted fat.
There are two methods of Vaser liposuction: the surgical method for large body areas, and the less invasive non-surgical liposuction method for small areas. The best technique for you will depend on the area you’re having treated, the amount of fat to be removed and your medical history. Your surgeon/doctor will advise you as to which is the best option for you.
Surgical Vaser liposuction
Vaser surgery is typically used for areas of stubborn fat in the arms, thighs, stomach, bottom, hips, chin or knees. The procedure may involve small incisions and is often carried out under general anaesthetic.
Non-surgical Vaser liposuction
Non-surgical Vaser liposuction can be used on multiple areas of the body and can be performed under local anaesthetic, rather than a general anaesthetic. It’s typically used for areas that are likely to store fat such as the tummy, abdomen, ‘love handles’, back, thighs, arms and chin, but can be used on a number of different areas in a single procedure.
The Vaser procedure is powerful enough to tackle larger areas of fat, for example on the tummy, flanks or thighs, but is also precise enough to work in delicate areas like the neck to redefine natural features. The precision of the procedure by our highly experienced surgeons and doctors means that a smooth, sculpted effect is achieved, redefining your natural contours and shape.
Minimal downtime and a speedy recovery are also huge benefits to Vaser lipo, as the procedure can be performed quickly and there are no overnight stays required. It is also considered less painful as the procedure in minimally invasive.
If you’re thinking about having Vaser lipo, it’s important to have a full understanding of the risks, complications and potential side effects that may arise. While our surgeons and doctors have a huge amount of expertise and experience, all types of surgery and procedures carry a level of risk.
For Vaser liposuction these include bruising, loose skin, infection, bleeding and irregularities of the skin. Your surgeon assistant will go through all the details and answer any questions you have, as well as providing you with a guide.
Vaser lipo is not a substitute for diet and exercise, but will assist in removing problem areas of fat. Vaser liposuction is an alternative when other methods of weight loss have been tried and stubborn areas of fat are resisting. It is ideal to be at your optimum weight prior to the procedure so that maintaining the results is easier.

Traditional liposuction uses a laser pulse or pressurised water jet to break up the fat cells. The surgeon would then insert a suction tube called a cannula to remove the fat, then stitch up the area.
Another type of liposuction know as Vaser lipo uses targeted ultrasound technology, making it easier to remove the fat without disrupting surrounding cells or tissue. Vaser lipo means smaller incisions are made to suction the fat cells, and these often don’t require stitches. For surgical Vaser lipo, you will need around four to five days before you can return to work for non-physical work, whereas non-surgical Vaser lipo is even less invasive and so you need very little recovery time.
Vaser lipo can treat any area of the body, but popular areas are the male chest, stomach, ‘love handles’, buttocks, thighs, knees and chin. Multiple areas can be treated during one procedure. Your surgeon or surgeon assistant will advise the best course of action for treating multiple parts of the body.
