Unwanted fat can be a stubborn adversary, resistant to diet and exercise. Fortunately, advancements in medical technology have provided innovative solutions to sculpt and contour the body.
One such breakthrough is Vaser Liposuction, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that effectively removes excess fat deposits.
In this blog, “How does Vaser Liposuction Work?”, we will explore the science behind Vaser Liposuction, discuss its results, potential side effects, the recovery process, and aftercare, and shed light on why ICCM is the optimal choice for this procedure.
Understanding Vaser Liposuction
Vaser Liposuction, also known as VASER Lipo, stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. Unlike traditional liposuction techniques, Vaser Liposuction employs ultrasound technology to selectively target and emulsify fat cells.
This procedure breaks down fat cells while preserving vital surrounding tissues such as blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue.
The Vaser Liposuction process begins with the administration of a tumescent saline solution, which helps numb the area and shrink blood vessels, minimising bleeding and bruising.
Next, a small probe emitting ultrasonic waves is gently inserted into the targeted area, emitting controlled energy that disrupts and liquefies the fat cells.
Once the fat cells are emulsified, a cannula is used to suction out the liquefied fat, revealing a more refined and contoured appearance.
When your waistline won’t budge after diet and exercise Vaser Liposuction can help.
Remarkable Vaser Liposuction Surgery Results
Vaser Liposuction offers a range of benefits, making it a preferred choice for body contouring procedures. Patients can expect precise and targeted fat removal, enhanced skin retraction, reduced downtime and improved body proportions.
Potential Side Effects and Smooth Vaser Liposuction Recovery
As with any surgical procedure, Vaser Liposuction carries potential side effects. However, these are typically mild and temporary. Some common side effects may include bruising, swelling, numbness, and discomfort in the treated area. These effects generally subside within a few weeks.
To ensure a smooth recovery, it is essential to follow post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.
Each patient’s recovery period may vary, but most individuals can return to their normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.

Vaser Liposuction Aftercare
To optimise the results and maintain the benefits of Vaser Liposuction, diligent aftercare is crucial. Some key aspects of Vaser Liposuction aftercare include:
Wearing compression garments as directed to reduce swelling and support healing.
Engaging in light physical activity, such as walking, to promote circulation and prevent blood clots.
Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine to prevent the accumulation of new fat deposits.
Following your surgeon’s guidelines for scar care and avoiding direct sun exposure on the treated area.

FAQs
Below you can find the questions that we’re most frequently asked:
Is a Vaser Liposuction Procedure a weight loss procedure?
Vaser Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but rather a body contouring technique. It is most effective for individuals who are near their ideal weight and wish to address specific areas of stubborn fat.
Will the fat cells return after Vaser Liposuction?
The fat cells removed through Vaser Liposuction are permanently eliminated. However, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the accumulation of new fat cells.
Can Vaser Liposuction treat cellulite?
Vaser Liposuction can improve the appearance of mild to moderate cellulite by reducing the fat that contributes to its visibility.
Are the results of Vaser Liposuction immediate?
While some results may be visible immediately after the procedure, it may take a few weeks for the full effects of Vaser Liposuction to become apparent as swelling subsides and the body heals.
Are there any age restrictions for Vaser Liposuction?
Vaser Liposuction is generally suitable for adults of all ages. However, it is best to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if the procedure is appropriate for your specific circumstances.
Which is more effective: traditional liposuction or Vaser Liposuction?
Both traditional liposuction and Vaser Liposuction are effective in removing excess fat. However, Vaser Liposuction offers some advantages over traditional liposuction. Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to selectively target and emulsify fat cells, resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissues. It also allows for more precise contouring and potentially better skin tightening.
Is Vaser lipo better than regular lipo?
Vaser Liposuction is considered an improvement over traditional liposuction for several reasons. This ultrasound-assisted liposuction technique enables more precise fat removal, reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues, and promotes better skin retraction. Additionally, Vaser Liposuction typically involves less downtime and discomfort compared to traditional liposuction.
Does Vaser Lipo permanently remove fat?
Yes, Vaser Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated area. The procedure disrupts and emulsifies fat cells, which are then suctioned out. Once these fat cells are removed, they do not regenerate. However, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the accumulation of new fat in other areas of the body.
Where does the fat go after Vaser lipo?
After Vaser Liposuction, the emulsified fat cells are suctioned out through a cannula. The removed fat is typically discarded. In some cases, a small amount of the removed fat may be used for other purposes, such as fat transfer procedures.
Is Vaser Lipo worth the money?
The value of Vaser Liposuction varies for each individual. It is important to consider your goals, expectations, and budget when deciding if the procedure is worth the investment. Vaser Liposuction can provide significant improvements in body contouring and self-confidence. Consulting with a qualified cosmetic doctor can help you determine if Vaser Liposuction aligns with your needs and is worth the cost.
Does Vaser Lipo actually work?
Yes, Vaser Liposuction has been proven to be effective in removing unwanted fat and contouring the body. Numerous clinical studies and patient testimonials have demonstrated the positive results achieved with Vaser Liposuction.
