What Is Vaser Liposuction?
How It Works
Vaser Liposuction is a form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction. The term VASER refers to “Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance.” This technique applies ultrasound energy to fat cells prior to their removal, assisting in loosening and separating fat from other tissues.
The process involves several stages. First, a fluid containing local anaesthetic and vasoconstrictors is introduced into the area being treated. A specialised probe is then inserted to emit ultrasound energy, targeting fat cells and allowing for their breakdown. Finally, the emulsified fat is removed using a suction device.
Unlike conventional liposuction methods that use manual disruption alone, Vaser Liposuction introduces an energy-based step intended to support selective fat disruption. While the technology is designed to focus on fat cells, outcomes may vary depending on the patient’s anatomy, tissue density, and overall health.
Vaser Liposuction and Patient Enquiries in Sydney
Why It’s Commonly Researched
Many individuals in Sydney express interest in procedures that may assist with refining areas such as the abdomen, neck, flanks, thighs, and upper arms. When researching these topics online, Vaser Liposuction often appears due to its technical approach.
The technique is sometimes described in broader literature as an option that may be suitable in cases requiring fat removal from fibrous tissue regions or smaller anatomical areas. However, it is essential to note that suitability for any procedure must be confirmed through clinical assessment.
Patients often raise questions about this method as part of their consultations, especially when they have heard about ultrasound-assisted techniques in media or from peers. Some patients express interest in how ultrasound energy may impact fat consistency during removal, while others are curious about the method’s potential applications to revision procedures or previously treated areas.
Clinical Perspective from Dr Mark Kohout
An Individualised, Evidence-Informed Process
With more than 25 years of experience, Dr Mark Kohout, Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney, brings a comprehensive, patient-centred approach to every consultation. His practice focuses on providing clear, balanced information about each technique, taking into account the patient’s medical history, anatomy, and preferences.
When Vaser Liposuction is brought up during consultation, Dr Kohout ensures patients understand how the method compares with other liposuction techniques. He explains that all surgical options must be weighed against clinical safety, expected variability in healing, and the anatomical features of the area being considered.
Supporting Surgical Planning Through Dialogue
Dr Kohout takes the time to explain each step of the planning process. This includes assessing the patient’s overall goals, examining the tissue quality in the proposed treatment area, and reviewing surgical history if applicable. He ensures patients leave the consultation with a clear understanding of which techniques are appropriate and why.
Importantly, patients are not promised specific visual outcomes or aesthetic results. Instead, the focus is on helping individuals make decisions grounded in medical appropriateness and achievable expectations.
Clinical Perspective from Dr Mark Kohout
Clinical Suitability
Adults who are medically fit, have stable body weight, and are looking to address specific areas of persistent fat may explore surgical options such as liposuction. Vaser Liposuction is sometimes considered in these discussions when patients are researching techniques that involve ultrasound assistance.
This procedure is not a treatment for weight loss or a replacement for lifestyle measures. Instead, it may be explored in cases where discrete areas of fat have not responded to consistent health practices. Whether Vaser Liposuction is clinically suitable for an individual must be determined through in-person examination and assessment by a qualified practitioner.
Anatomical Areas Often Discussed
Patients commonly enquire about fat reduction in the abdominal region, flanks, neck, upper arms, thighs, and lower back. In some cases, males may raise concerns regarding the chest area, particularly where fat tissue may create a more rounded appearance. Each of these regions presents different challenges, and no single method is appropriate for all body types.
Things to Know Before Considering Vaser Liposuction
Possible Advantages
Vaser Liposuction is designed to selectively target fat cells while maintaining the integrity of surrounding structures. Because ultrasound energy is used to emulsify fat before removal, some patients report that the process is less physically aggressive than traditional methods. However, such perceptions are subjective and should be discussed during consultation.
It may be considered in revision procedures or in areas where previous surgery has affected tissue characteristics. The method is also sometimes referenced in contexts where surgical access is limited and greater control is required.
Recovery and Follow-Up Care
All surgical procedures carry a recovery period, and healing can differ greatly between individuals. Patients should be prepared for temporary swelling, changes in skin sensation, and the use of compression garments as part of their post-operative care plan.
Dr Kohout provides personalised aftercare guidance and closely monitors patient progress through scheduled reviews. The total recovery time will depend on the areas treated, the amount of fat removed, and how the body responds to the procedure. There is no guarantee of downtime duration, and patients should be aware of their responsibilities during healing.

FAQs
About Vaser Liposuction
How can we help you?
Considering Vaser Liposuction but unsure if it’s right for you? Browse our most commonly asked questions to learn more about the procedure, recovery, and what to expect. If you need personalised guidance, our team is here to help.
Can Vaser Liposuction be considered in areas that have been previously treated with another liposuction technique?
Yes, in some cases Vaser Liposuction is discussed in the context of revision surgery or secondary procedures. It may be considered when the treatment area has scar tissue or uneven results from prior fat removal, although this requires detailed clinical assessment to determine suitability.
How does tissue firmness or skin elasticity affect the outcome of Vaser Liposuction?
Skin quality plays a significant role in how the body responds after fat removal. Vaser Liposuction does not tighten the skin, so areas with good elasticity may respond more favourably. In cases of reduced elasticity, alternative or additional surgical approaches may be discussed.
Is Vaser Liposuction a suitable option for patients with lean body types who are only concerned about specific small areas of fat?
Patients with lower overall body fat who are seeking refinement in targeted areas may enquire about Vaser Liposuction due to its perceived ability to focus on smaller deposits. However, a clinical evaluation is necessary to assess whether the volume and distribution of fat are appropriate for this method.
What role does ultrasound energy play in the fat removal process with Vaser Liposuction?
Ultrasound energy is used to disrupt fat cells by emitting high-frequency sound waves. This process helps break down fat into a liquid state before removal. The goal is to assist with controlled extraction, but effectiveness may depend on the location and characteristics of the tissue.
Can Vaser Liposuction be considered in areas where fibrous or dense fat is present?
In some cases, Vaser Liposuction is explored for areas that are anatomically fibrous, such as the upper back or male chest. The method’s ultrasound assistance may support treatment in denser tissue, although individual suitability must be carefully evaluated by the surgeon.
Does Vaser Liposuction change the way post-surgical swelling or bruising is experienced?
Some patients report a different post-operative experience compared to traditional liposuction, including variations in swelling and bruising. However, recovery responses are individual, and factors such as treatment area, volume removed, and overall health influence healing.
Are there limitations to the areas that Vaser Liposuction can treat compared to traditional methods?
While Vaser Liposuction is often associated with precision, it may not be appropriate for all anatomical areas or all patient types. A comprehensive consultation helps determine whether the method aligns with the patient’s goals and whether other techniques may be more appropriate based on tissue behaviour and surgical planning.
