VASER Lipo is an advanced body sculpting method that precisely and minimally invasively eliminates localized fats using ultrasonic waves. This high-precision technique allows for shaping various body areas and has a shorter recovery period due to less damage to surrounding tissues.
During the VASER Lipo process, after injecting a tumescent solution and local anesthetic, a thin probe will be inserted into the target area, and ultrasonic waves will be sent to the fatty tissue. These waves break down fat cells, and then the dissolved fat is gently removed from the body by Ventx cannulas. The result of this method is the reduction of unwanted fats and improved body contour, which leads to increased self-confidence and satisfaction with one’s appearance. By choosing VASER Lipo, you can effectively achieve your desired physique with minimal side effects.
VASER Lipo is an advanced liposuction method that uses ultrasound waves to break down and remove unwanted fats. This technique is used in various body areas due to its high precision and minimal invasiveness. Types of VASER Lipo based on the treatment area include:

It’s interesting to know that in VASER Lipo, 36 kHz ultrasound waves selectively target fat cells, leaving surrounding tissues largely untouched.
Suitable candidate for VASER liposuction
If you are considering body contouring with the VASER Lipo or Lipo Vaser method, you should first know whether this procedure is suitable for you. Lipo VASER is recommended for clients who have stubborn localized fat deposits in specific areas of the body that do not respond to diet and exercise.
Having a stable weight close to your ideal, healthy and elastic skin, and good general health are among other important conditions. The Vaser body contouring method is not suitable for significant weight loss; rather, its goal is to improve body shape and contour. If you have realistic expectations and are looking to improve the appearance of specific areas of your body, Lipo VASER is a suitable option for you.
VASER Lipo machine
The VASER Lipo device is an advanced technology in full body cosmetic surgery that precisely and minimally invasively breaks down fat cells using ultrasound waves. This device, with a wavelength of approximately 36 kilohertz, liquefies the fat, which is then removed from the body.
The body sculpting process with the Visor Lipo device involves injecting a tomimetic solution into the target area, using ultrasound probes to break down fat cells, and finally, suctioning the liquefied fat using the advanced Ventex liposuction system. The duration of this procedure varies depending on the area and volume of fat, but usually takes between 1 and several hours. This method provides desirable results in body shaping due to its high precision and preservation of surrounding tissues.
Necessary tests before VASER liposuction
Before performing VASER liposuction, the physician requests a series of tests to evaluate the patient’s general health status and ensure their readiness. These tests help identify any medical conditions that might affect the safety or outcomes of the surgery. Below, you will find a list of common pre-VASER liposuction tests:
Test Name | Purpose |
Complete Blood Count (CBC) | Evaluation of red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet levels to diagnose anemia, infection, or blood disorders. |
Prothrombin Time (PT) and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) | Evaluation of blood clotting system function and identification of bleeding disorders. |
Blood Biochemistry Tests | Checking kidney and liver function, electrolyte levels, glucose, and other metabolic parameters. |
Hepatitis B and C Tests | Identification of viral hepatitis infections that could impact the surgery. |
Electrocardiogram (ECG) | Evaluation of heart function and identification of any cardiac abnormalities, especially in patients over 40 years old or with a history of heart disease. |
Pregnancy Test (for women of childbearing age) | Make sure you are not pregnant before having surgery. |
Please note that depending on the patient’s individual condition and medical history, the physician may request additional tests or other specialized consultations; additionally, an ultrasound of the abdominal wall and flanks may also be requested to ensure the absence of a hernia.
Stages of VASER Lipo Procedure
The duration of anesthesia in VASER Lipo surgery varies depending on the treated area and the volume of fat, and usually lasts between 2 to several hours. The recovery period is also short, and patients can return to their daily activities after a few days.
Amount of fat removed in the LipoVASER process
The amount of fat removed by the physician during VASER liposuction depends on various factors such as the patient’s health status, the target area, and the volume of fat. Generally, the maximum amount of fat that can be removed in a single liposuction session is between 3 to 5 liters. This limit is set to ensure patient safety and prevent potential complications. The precise amount of fat that can be removed must be determined by a specialist physician, taking into account the individual conditions of each patient. However, in the Lipo 360 procedure, this amount is one liter more, and after the procedure, you will experience a weight loss of approximately 3.6 to 4.5 kilograms.
Medications used after VASER liposuction surgery
After VASER liposuction surgery, doctors usually prescribe medications to manage pain, prevent infection, and reduce inflammation. These medications may include the following:
- Painkillers (Analgesics): To control post-operative pain, painkillers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen are prescribed. In cases of more severe pain, stronger painkillers like codeine-containing compounds may be used.
- Antibiotics: To prevent infection at the incision sites, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as cephalexin or stronger medications are prescribed. Regular and complete consumption of these medications as directed by the doctor is essential.
- Anti-inflammatory Medications: To reduce post-operative inflammation and swelling, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be recommended. Neuropathic Pain Medications: Gabapentin is prescribed to reduce neuropathic pain.
- Anti-nausea Medications: In case of post-operative nausea or vomiting, medications such as metoclopramide or ondansetron are prescribed.
- Anti-itch Medications: If itching is experienced in the surgical area, antihistamines such as diphenhydramine may be recommended.
It is important to note that the type and dosage of medications after lipomatic body contouring should be determined by the treating physician and that arbitrary use of medications should be avoided; also, careful adherence to postoperative instructions, such as the use of compression garments, adequate rest, and proper nutrition, helps to recover faster and reduce complications.
