As with any surgery, scarring is to be expected. However, the scars from Vaser liposuction are usually small and can fade over time. As everyone is different, how noticeable the scars appear once healed will always vary. In compliance with AHPRA's updated cosmetic surgery advertising guidelines, some before and after images have been blurred. If you would like to book an in-person consultation, we can discuss your specific goals and treatment options.

Hip Vaser Liposuction At A Glance

Hip Vaser liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to target excess fat deposits on the hips. This area is located on both outer edges of the abdomen around to the waist. Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound technology to break down the unwanted fat cells, before they are removed via suction. For candidates who have excess fat on their hips that doesn't respond well to diet and exercise, Vaser liposuction may be a suitable treatment option.
Average Procedure Time 1-3 hours
Anaesthetic Type Local with sedation
Hospital Stay Day
TIME OFF WORK 1 week on average depending on multiple factors
Average RECOVERY 6 weeks

Benefits

  • Waistline Fat Reduction: Vaser liposuction can remove excess fat from around the waist and hips.
  • Fat Removal Procedure: This procedure involves removing fat from specific areas to address excess fat deposits.
  • Recovery Time: Recovery from Vaser liposuction can differ for each person, depending on individual health and other factors.

Potential Candidates

Thinking of undergoing liposuction on your hips and wondering if it’s the right choice for you? If you identify with the following, you may be a candidate for Vaser lipo.

  • You’re looking to target specific areas of fat rather than overall weight loss.
  • You’re in good overall health.
  • You are at a stable weight and are committed to a healthy lifestyle to maintain results.
  • You have good skin elasticity.
  • You don’t smoke – candidates must quit or refrain from smoking before and after the procedure.
  • You’re not pregnant or nursing.
  • You understand that Vaser lipo is not a substitute for proper diet and exercise and should have realistic goals for the procedure.

What To Expect From Hips Vaser Liposuction

Consultation Pre-Op The Procedure Aftercare & Recovery
Consultation

You will start with a detailed consultation at our clinic. Here, our doctors will review your health history and discuss your objectives for targeting excess hip fat with Vaser liposuction. This session allows you to understand the process thoroughly and raise any questions or concerns.

Pre-Op

Before your procedure, we’ll ensure you’re completely prepared. This includes undergoing necessary medical evaluations to confirm your suitability for the surgery. We’ll also provide you with comprehensive instructions about fasting, medication adjustments, and other essential preparations for the day of the surgery. Adhering to these guidelines is crucial for a successful and safe procedure.

The Procedure

On the day of your Vaser liposuction surgery, you will receive anaesthetic sedation. The procedure utilises ultrasound technology to effectively target and liquefy unwanted excess fat cells in the hips.

Through small incision sites, a probe is inserted to facilitate the removal of the targeted fat cells, with suction using a cannula.

The duration of the surgery typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the specific treatment plan, the areas being addressed, and the individual needs of each patient.

Aftercare & Recovery

Getting Home

You will be required to be collected by a responsible adult to stay with you for the remainder of the day and overnight. Even if you feel normal, your reaction time will be slower after receiving sedation medication.

Aftercare

  • After your procedure, you’ll receive comprehensive post-operative instructions for a smooth transition home.
  • We provide a 24/7 contact number for any post-surgery questions, ensuring you can always reach us.
  • Your post-surgery care will be overseen by your doctor, supported by our dedicated care team.

Recovery Timeline

Immediate Post-Procedure

You’ll be released into the care of a responsible adult family member or friend.

An overnight hospital stay is not required.

Once home, you must rest and take it easy.

First Two Weeks

Expect to experience soreness and tenderness, but we’ll provide pain relief to minimise discomfort.

Compression garments are always worn post-procedure. You will be instructed on how long you will be required to wear these garments.

You should be able to start driving again after a few days.

During this time follow-up appointments will commence as organised by your care team.

Depending on individual factors, you may be able to return to work around the 1 week mark, but this will vary from patient to patient. Exercise can begin again after approximately 6 weeks post-procedure.

Two Weeks & Beyond

Follow-up appointments will continue as necessary and are scheduled by your care team.

You must continue to wear your compression garments as directed.

A surgical review with your doctor takes place approximately 6-8 weeks post-procedure.

Full recovery occurs around the 6 week mark, with full results evident in 6-12 months.

How Much Does Hip Vaser Liposuction Cost?

Understanding the cost of hip liposuction is an essential component for patients considering the procedure. The total expense for this treatment is not fixed and will vary based on multiple factors:

  • The extent of treatment, such as the number of body areas involved.
  • The volume of fat to be removed.
  • The type of sedation used during the procedure.
  • The length of time the operation takes.
For precise pricing, a detailed quote will be provided during the consultation.
It's essential to remember that individual results will vary for hip liposuction.
Realistic expectations are crucial, and liposuction isn't a solution for body image concerns or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and exercise.

Why It Pays To Choose A Qualified Doctor

Choosing the cheapest option is rarely a good idea, especially in healthcare and cosmetic procedures. Cheaper prices often mean lower quality, safety risks, results that don’t last long, less personalised care, and possible additional costs for fixes. Prioritising quality and expertise is essential for the best possible outcome.

Other Areas Vaser Liposuction Targets

Vaser liposuction can be performed on various parts of the body to reduce excess fat. The most commonly treated areas include:

FAQs

Is hip liposuction safe?
While it is generally considered safe, potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.
How can you lose hip fat quickly?
Quick fixes for losing hip fat aren't usually sustainable or healthy. The safest and most effective approach includes a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. For those dealing with fat in the hip area, Vaser liposuction could be an option to consider.
How much fat can be safely removed with Vaser liposuction?
In Australia, there's a maximum limit of five litres of fat that can be safely removed in one liposuction procedure. If more fat needs to be addressed, multiple sessions may be required, which can be discussed during your consultations.
Will I have loose skin around my hips after Vaser liposuction?
After Vaser liposuction, skin tightening can vary depending on individual factors, including pre-existing skin elasticity. The procedure can tighten the skin around your hip, but results may differ. Patients with higher skin elasticity may experience firmer skin, while those with less elasticity may notice some excess skin in areas like the abdomen.
Will I have scarring?
Scarring is a natural outcome of surgery, and the incisions made for Vaser Liposuction typically fade over time. The visibility of scars varies among individuals, influenced by factors such as skin type and scarring history.
Can I have Vaser liposuction if I am obese?
Vaser liposuction is not intended for treating obesity; it is not a weight loss surgery. However, we do offer Mega Liposuction for those looking to remove a significant amount of fat.
Are there non-surgical alternatives for fat removal on the hips?
For non-surgical fat reduction, we provide CoolSculpting treatments, suitable for specific areas of the body. These procedures offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
