Before & Afters Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction

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.

Benefits

  • Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction is designed to address both superficial and deep fat around muscle groups.
  • This procedure uses ultrasound technology, making it less invasive than traditional liposuction methods. This approach may lead to reduced bruising and swelling, quicker recovery times, and minimal scarring.
  • The outcomes of Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction can be long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

Potential Candidates

Not everyone is a candidate for Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction. However, you may be a good candidate if you identify with the following:

  • Are near your ideal body weight but have specific areas where you desire more definition.
  • You have good skin elasticity
  • You have a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet.
  • You want a more athletic appearance, rather than just fat reduction.
  • You have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.
  • Youโ€™re in good overall health, without any medical conditions that could impair healing or increase surgery risks.
  • You donโ€™t smoke โ€“ smoking can hinder the healing process and affect the final results.
  • Youโ€™re committed to maintaining their results post-procedure through ongoing fitness and nutrition.

What To Expect From Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction

Consultation

During the initial consultations for Vaser Hi-Def liposuction, you’ll meet with one of our qualified doctors. These appointments are an essential step where your medical history, current health status, and treatment goals will be thoroughly discussed.

A Levant Cosmetic Surgery doctor will assess whether you are a suitable candidate for Vaser Hi-Def liposuction and provide a detailed explanation of the procedure, including the potential risks, side effects, and complications. This is also the time for you to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have about the treatment.

Pre-Op

Before your Vaser Hi-Def procedure, certain preparations are necessary. This may include various medical evaluations to ensure you are physically ready for the surgery.

We will provide comprehensive pre-op instructions, including fasting instructions, dietary restrictions, and medication guidelines.

You’ll also be advised on appropriate attire and preparations for the surgery day. Sticking to these instructions is crucial for a safe and successful procedure.

The Procedure

On the day of your Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction, you’ll be administered anaesthesia. Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction uses ultrasound technology to remove unwanted fat. This process involves using a thin tube called a cannula to take out the fat, and the area is numbed with a special anaesthetic solution to ensure comfort. For those who need it, deeper sedation or general anaesthesia is also available.

An incision is made for the insertion of a thin probe, which is used to remove fat and enhance the target areas. The surgery duration varies based on the treatment scope and targeted regions, typically ranging from 1 to 3 hours depending on individual factors.

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

Youโ€™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. Your anticipated individual downtime is discussed during the consultation process with the doctor. 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 final results evident in 6-12 months.

How Much Does Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction Cost?

We know the cost of cosmetic surgery is a significant consideration for patients. However, the cost of Vaser Hi-Def liposuction cannot be standardised into a one-size-fits-all flat fee. The cost of undergoing Vaser Hi-Def Lipo varies among patients and is influenced by several factors, including but not limited to:

  • The number of areas undergoing treatment.
  • The quantity of fat cells to be removed from the targeted areas of the body.
  • The type of IV sedation utilised.
  • The duration of time spent in the operating room.
For precise pricing, a detailed quote will be provided during the consultation.
It's essential to remember that individual results will vary.
Realistic expectations are crucial, and liposuction isn't a solution for body image concerns or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and exercise.

The Importance Of Choosing A Qualified Doctor

Choosing the cheapest option is rarely the best choice, especially in healthcare and cosmetic procedures.

Cheaper prices often mean lower quality, safety risks, potentially short-lived results, lack of personalised care, and the possibility of additional costs for corrections.

Prioritising quality and expertise is key to better outcomes and overall satisfaction.

Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction can be performed on several body areas, including:

FAQs

What are the risks and potential side effects of Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction?
All liposuction procedures โ€“ including Vaser Hi-Def โ€“ have inherent risks and side effects to consider before surgery. 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. Itโ€™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 long does a Vaser Hi-Def procedure typically take?
The duration of the procedure can vary based on individual needs. On average, it takes between 1 to 4 hours.
What is the recovery process like after Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction?
After the surgery, you can return home the same day. Expect fluid drainage for about a week, and you'll need to wear specialised compression garments for 6 weeks. Light daily activities can be resumed after approximately one week, but intense exercise should be avoided for around 6 weeks.
Will there be noticeable scarring after a Vaser Hi Def Liposuction procedure?
Scarring is possible with any invasive cosmetic procedure. However, incisions are strategically placed to be discreet whenever possible. The visibility of scars may fade over time, especially with the use of specialised silicone scar creams. The extent of scarring can vary among individuals based on their skin type and scarring history.
When can I expect to see the final results of my Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction?
While you may observe some immediate changes in your body shape, it's important to note that the final results become fully visible after 3-6 months. During this time, post-operative swelling subsides, and the skin retracts and tightens. Wearing compression garments as instructed is crucial to support your body and optimise the healing process.
Are there non-surgical alternatives for fat removal?
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.
