Vaser 360 Lipo

We perform Vaser 360 Lipo under local anaesthesia and IV sedation.

Vaser 360 Lipo is a specific type of liposuction treatment. It has an additional process where fat cells are liquified before the start of the fat extraction process.

The technique used with Vaser 360 Lipo means surgeons can target many areas of the abdomen at the same time. When you are having a standard liposuction treatment, you are usually working on one or two areas only. Vaser 360 Lipo allows us to work on many different areas around the abdomen. For example, surgeons can work on the front, back and sides of the abdomen in 1 session.

Because of this all-around option, the technique came to be known as Vaser 360 Lipo.

Vaser 360 Lipo allows the doctor and patient to plan more accurately for shaping the torso.
It gives doctors more scope in contouring, where the emphasis is not so much on the total amount of fat removed but more on being able to work in shaping the body more effectively.

There is not much difference in the recovery time between Vaser 360 Lipo procedure and regular Vaser liposuction.
As you would expect, there is a degree of bruising with both methods.
It is entirely likely you will be back at work within 7 days of the treatment.
However, we strongly advise not taking part in any contact sports for approximately 1 month afterwards.

It is particularly useful for stubborn fatty areas on the back.
The advantage of such liposuction is that the fat extracted this way will not return as long as you maintain your overall body weight after the procedure.

To be extra safe before you have the procedure, please use these pointers as a guide.

• Be physically healthy.
• Have a stable body weight.
• Preferably not be a smoker.
• Have a BMI of below 30.
• Finally, be sure to follow the post-operation advice of your consultant.
• If you fit these criteria, then you should be very safe undergoing the treatment.

The recommended total amount of fat you should have removed during this treatment is no more than 5 litres.
The exact amount depends on your body and what outcome you want to achieve.
The precision of Vaser 360 Lipo allows stubbornly fatty areas to be treated and this has a very effective advantage in improving body contouring. Contouring does not focus primarily on weight loss.
If weight loss is the goal then it is better to have separate liposuction treatments with a few months between.

Let’s say you are having traditional liposuction on your abdomen. You will feel discomfort for a few days after.
Normally, people return to work within 7 days.
If you are having Vaser 360 Lipo, then allow for up to 5 days to feel less sore and allow up to 7 days before returning to work.
Use these as a rough guide to knowing how long you should wait between these different procedures.

You will have an initial consultation with our surgeons where your needs will be discussed and recommendations made. Of course, this includes discussing what outcome and body shape you would like.
The Vaser 360 Lipo process works by liquifying fat in specific areas of your body before that fat is then removed.
Our surgeon will use his skills to contour your curves and shape and give you a final pleasing result.

You should be within your own body weight, fit and healthy, and seeking to remove stubborn fat.
You will have a specific area where you have not successfully managed to remove excess fat.
You will be looking to improve your body shape, rather than achieve weight loss.
