VASER Liposuction, also known as VASERlipo, is an advanced cosmetic surgical procedure we perform at Dr. Ducu Clinics to remove fat deposits from various areas of the body. VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction implies the use of ultrasound energy to selectively target and liquefy fat cells, while preserving surrounding tissues such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Once the fat cells are emulsified, they are gently suctioned out of the body through small incisions, resulting in smoother and more defined body contours.
We use VASERlipo to contour areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and neck, providing patients with a more sculpted body.
VASERLipo offers various advantages, making it a popular choice for those who want to achieve a sculpted body. Traditional liposuction manually removes fat cells from the body by vacuum suction. By comparison, VASERLipo is a more advance and efficient method, providing better results. Here are some of the benefits it provides:
Precision - VASER Lipo utilises ultrasound technology to selectively target and emulsify fat cells, allowing for precise contouring and sculpting of the body with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
Enhanced results - With VASER Hi Def and 4D probes, we can enhance muscle definition such as six-pack abs, a sculpted chest, or a contoured neckline.
Reduced trauma - VASER Lipo involves less trauma to the body compared to traditional liposuction methods, resulting in less bruising, swelling, and discomfort during the recovery process.
Faster recovery: You experience a faster recovery time with VASER Lipo compared to traditional liposuction techniques, allowing you to return to your normal activities sooner.
VASER Liposuction is recommended for individuals who struggle with stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise, particularly in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and chin. It is ideal for those looking to achieve a more sculpted and defined physique without undergoing invasive surgery. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who are already close to their ideal weight but want to enhance muscle definition, such as creating a more athletic look with VASER Hi-Def.
It is also a great option for those seeking a gentler alternative to traditional liposuction, as it uses ultrasound technology to selectively break down fat while preserving surrounding tissues, resulting in less bruising, faster recovery, and smoother skin tightening. Whether you want to refine your body contours, target specific problem areas, or enhance muscle visibility, VASER Liposuction offers a precise and effective solution.
1. Consultation
During the consultation, the surgeon evaluates if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. He discusses with you your cosmetic & medical goals, medical history, and any existing health conditions. This is also when the surgeon examines the areas of concern and assesses your skin and underlying tissues. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, the surgeon customises a treatment plan tailored to your needs and desired outcomes. If you have any questions about the procedure, feel free to discuss them with your surgeon.
2. VASER Lipo procedure
On the day of the procedure, we will use a tumescent solution containing saline (sterile saltwater), local anaesthetic, and epinephrine (a vasoconstrictor) to numb the targeted area, reduce bleeding, and facilitate fat removal.Afterwards, the surgeon will insert a small probe emitting ultrasound energy through tiny incisions in the skin and into the fatty tissue. The ultrasound energy selectively targets and breaks down fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.The ultrasonic energy emulsifies the fat cells, turning them into a liquid substance that is easier to remove from the body.Finally, the surgeon uses a cannula (thin tube) attached to a suction device to gently suction out the emulsified fat cells, sculpting and contouring the treated area to achieve the desired cosmetic & medical outcome.The procedure takes around 1-3 hours.
3. Aftercare & recovery
Following VASER Liposuction, you will receive post-operative instructions from your surgeon. This may include wearing compression garments to minimise swelling and support the treated area for a least 6 weeks, taking prescribed medications to manage discomfort and reduce the risk of infection, and avoiding strenuous activities for a period of time. The procedure does not require hospitalisation. Minimal downtime is required and you can go back to work in a week.
4. Results
You will see the full results of VASER Liposuction after several weeks to months. However, you can expect to see an improvement in your body contours and a more sculpted appearance shortly after the procedure. The best results are visible after 6-12 months, when all the swelling subsides. With proper diet, exercise, and maintenance, the results of VASER Liposuction can be long-lasting and satisfying.

Vaser liposuction is great for men and women who are already at a healthy weight and have healthy skin laxity. This procedure is here to help you get a more contoured body, not to help you lose weight. You also want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which can include exercising and eating well. If you do not have or maintain a healthy lifestyle, you might not get or keep your desired results and it could add risks for complications during the procedure. Tell us your medical history or if you are taking any medications, so we can figure out if you are a good candidate for Vaser liposuction. This includes smoking and tobacco use, which would need to be stopped to see optimal results.
Yes, VASER Lipo is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. Like any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks involved, including the potential for bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. However, these risks are minimum.
While VASER Lipo involves making small incisions in the skin to insert the ultrasound probe and cannula, these incisions are typically very small and strategically placed in inconspicuous areas. The incisions may appear as tiny dots or small lines, and they often fade over time, becoming less visible as the skin heals. Additionally, the surgeon takes care to place the incisions in natural skin creases or areas where they can be easily concealed by clothing.
The fat cells removed during VASER Lipo are permanently eliminated from the body, providing long-lasting improvements in body contouring and fat reduction. It’s important to note that while the treated fat cells are permanently removed, the remaining fat cells in the body can still expand with weight gain, potentially affecting the overall appearance of the treated areas. With proper diet, exercise, and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, you can expect to enjoy the results of VASER Lipo for many years.
The duration of the VASER Lipo procedure can vary depending on the size and number of areas being treated, as well as the complexity of your case. On average, VASER Lipo typically takes anywhere from 1-3 hours to complete. Factors such as the amount of fat to be removed and anatomy can all influence the length of the procedure.
The primary goal of the procedure is not necessarily focused on inches lost but rather on achieving a more sculpted and proportionate appearance. Some patients may experience more noticeable reductions in circumference in certain areas, while others may see more subtle changes. During the consultation process, your plastic surgeon can provide you with a better understanding of the potential outcomes based on your unique anatomy and goals.
You should avoid strenuous activities such as vigorous exercise and heavy lifting, refraining from immersion in water such as swimming or soaking in hot tubs, abstaining from smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, wearing loose-fitting clothing and compression garments to support the treated areas and minimise swelling, and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure.
In general, many patients are able to resume light activities and return to work within a few days to a week after the procedure, especially if their job does not involve strenuous physical labor.
During VASER Liposuction, you will receive tumescent anaesthesia to numb the treatment area, which helps minimise discomfort during the procedure. However, it’s normal to experience some level of soreness, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas following the procedure. Most patients find that any discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and improves gradually as the body heals.
