VASER Liposuction
The accumulation of excess fat is a common challenge many people face. VASER liposuction offers an advanced solution for removing stubborn fat. Using ultrasound technology, the fat is liquefied and then removed, allowing for precise sculpting of attractive body contours. Additionally, the harvested fat can be reused to enhance other areas of the body, such as the buttocks or breasts, for added volume and shape.
Permanent, but subject to fluctuations in body weight.

About the Procedure
- Liposuction is a technique used to remove excess fat from various areas of the body. VASER liposuction differs from older methods in that it uses ultrasound energy to soften and liquefy fat, allowing for gentler and easier removal.
- It is very common to combine VASER liposuction with Renuvion® skin tightening, which firms loose skin and helps avoid surgical skin excision and long scars.
- Liposuction is not a weight-loss method, but rather a body contouring tool to help shape a harmonious and attractive figure.
- The distribution of body fat differs between men and women. A feminine figure is defined by soft, flowing curves, while a masculine figure is shaped by sharper lines that emphasize muscular contours. With a carefully planned approach, we can create a body shape tailored to each individual.
- VASER liposuction can be used to contour the entire body or focus on specific areas. Full-body procedures are ideal for those who may have fallen behind on fitness due to life’s pace. In such cases, the procedure can boost confidence and serve as motivation for a fresh start. For those who are already active but struggle with stubborn fat in specific areas, VASER High Definition liposuction allows us to sculpt a precise and athletic silhouette.
- Studies have shown that fat removal through liposuction can have a positive indirect effect on metabolism and fat processing.
- Smaller areas like the chin or upper arms can be treated under local anesthesia or sedation, while larger procedures are usually performed under light general anesthesia for maximum comfort.
- Most commonly treated areas include the abdomen, love handles, lower back, chin, flabby upper arms, saddlebags, inner thighs, and knees. In men, we often address enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia) with great success using VASER liposuction.
- Unlike older liposuction methods, which often caused irregularities and uneven skin, such complications are rare with VASER.
- The procedure is performed through tiny millimeter-sized incisions that are carefully hidden in discreet locations.
- After surgery, you will stay at our clinic in a comfortable suite for observation and recovery, with attentive medical staff looking after your wellbeing. Recovery time depends on the extent of the treated areas and can last up to 14 days, during which we recommend time off work. Return to sports or more intense activity is usually possible a few weeks post-procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
VASER liposuction differs from older liposuction techniques in that it uses ultrasound energy to soften and liquefy fat, making it easier to remove. Its advantages include more precise body contouring, the possibility to reuse harvested fat to shape other areas (e.g. buttocks, breasts), skin tightening, and faster recovery after the procedure.
Liposuction is most commonly used to contour the abdomen, flanks (love handles), lower back, chin, loose or full upper arms, thighs with saddlebags, and inner thighs and knees. In men, we often treat enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia), where VASER ultrasound liposuction is also highly effective.
