Know it All: An Intro to Vaser Liposuction


Sometimes you wish that unwanted fat from your body could just disappear. Sometimes you just really want to have a more attractive and more defined contour in your body. And there are times that even extensive diet and exercise could not help reshape your trouble spots. If this is what you are looking for, vaser lipo might be the answer.


Vaser liposuction Singapore allows you to have this body shaping experience. Just one session and the procedure will selectively remove your fats while at the same time, it leaves the surrounding tissues (nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue) perfectly intact. This mean that instead of traditional Singapore liposuction before, the down-time recovery will be lower and there will no longer be any need for hospitalization. Thus, being able to get back to your usual routine after only two days.

How did it start?

The Vaser liposuction Singapore received FDA Clearance for body contouring in September 2002. Thousands of vaser lipo procedures have already been performed throughout the world. It’s procedure relies on a tissue-selective ultrasonic technology which targets unwanted fat while preserving other surrounding tissues for a smoother contour and rapid healing.


The Fatty Areas

Genetics play a big role in determining how an individual’s fat is stored that is why the fat distribution is also unique in every individual. The most difficult areas are those found in the thighs, and hips. These areas contains a higher level of fat-storing enzymes, especially in females. Meanwhile, fat deposits found at the lower back area and the abdomen are also distinct and are mostly the concern for liposuction.


The Incisions

Incisions will be placed discreetly during the liposuction procedure. As scars are the primary concern of the patients who wish to undertake the procedure, making sure that the incisions performed will not leave any scar on any particular body region is a priority. In order to do this the incisions are hidden away. For example, in an abdominal vaser lipo, the incision will be hidden within the belly button or if your target is the lower abdomen, it will be done near the bikini line.


The After Effects

Even if vaser liposuction Singapore is less invasive than the traditional Singapore liposuction, bruising and swelling will still set in. It can last for three to five months. Eventually, the body will undertake the natural task of healing and the bruising and all the swellings will then disappear. Like any other tyoe of bruise, it will first appear in hues of pinkish red right after the procedure as it reflects the colour of blood underneath your skin. After that, it will turn purplish black because the haemoglobin your blood undergoes a change until it turns into greenish, to yellowish, and the healing is completed and its back to match your skin tone.


Things to remember

Although the removal of fats is permanent after undergoing the procedures of vaser liposuction, we have to remember that it is not a solution if you are looking to lose weight. Because fat is lighter than water, you will not lose as much weight. The procedure can only guarantee improvement in the contours of the treated area. Following this, it also cannot cure obesity and it will not be able to remove your stretch marks.


At the end of the day, it is important to have a regular exercise plan and a continuous healthy diet before and even after the liposuction in order to really achieve the ideal body shape that you desire. Remember that fat cells can expand with weight gain.
