What is Vaser Liposuction?
Vaser liposuction is an advanced body contouring procedure that uses ultrasound energy to selectively break down and liquefy fat cells before they are gently removed. Unlike traditional liposuction, Vaser targets fat while preserving surrounding tissue — resulting in smoother contours, less bruising and a more comfortable recovery.
The term Vaser stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. The ultrasound waves emulsify fat in the treatment area, making removal more precise and controlled. It is particularly effective for sculpting definition in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs and back.
Vaser is also used in high-definition liposuction, where surgeons selectively remove fat around muscle groups to enhance the appearance of athletic definition — commonly referred to as “Vaser Hi-Def”.

Common Treatment Areas
Vaser liposuction can be performed on most areas of the body where stubborn fat deposits are resistant to diet and exercise. The most commonly treated areas include:
| Abdomen | Upper and lower stomach, including around the navel |
| Flanks | Love handles and the sides of the waist |
| Arms | Upper arm fat (often called “bat wings”) |
| Thighs | Inner and outer thighs |
| Back | Upper and lower back, bra line area |
| Chest | Male chest reduction (gynaecomastia) |
| Chin / neck | Submental fat (double chin) |
| Knees & ankles | Localised fat deposits around the knee and ankle |
Multiple areas can be treated in a single procedure. Your surgeon will advise on what is safe to combine based on the total volume of fat to be removed and your overall health.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Vaser liposuction is a body contouring procedure — not a weight loss treatment. Ideal candidates are those who are close to their target weight but have localised areas of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are within a healthy weight range with good skin elasticity
- Have stubborn fat deposits unresponsive to exercise and healthy eating
- Are a non-smoker or willing to cease smoking at least three weeks prior
- Are in good general health with no uncontrolled medical conditions
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome — Vaser improves shape and proportion, not overall weight
Suitability is confirmed at your pre-operative surgical consultation. Your surgeon will assess your skin tone, fat distribution and health history before recommending an approach.
Three weeks prior to surgery
- Cease smoking completely
- Avoid non-prescribed medications — advise your surgeon of all current medications
- Avoid blood thinners including aspirin and ibuprofen
- Maintain a stable weight — significant weight changes affect results
- Ensure you are in good physical and mental health
- Arrange travel, accommodation and a support person for your stay
After surgery
- Follow all surgeon instructions carefully
- Take all medications and antibiotics as prescribed
- Wear compression garments as directed — typically 6 weeks
- Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 4–6 weeks
- Massage the treated areas for up to 6 months as advised to reduce fibrosis
- Stay well hydrated and maintain a healthy diet
- Attend all follow-up appointments before flying home

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Vaser and traditional liposuction?
Traditional liposuction mechanically breaks up and removes fat using a cannula. Vaser uses ultrasound energy to first liquefy fat cells, making removal gentler and more precise. Vaser typically results in less bruising, less swelling and a smoother outcome — particularly in fibrous areas or when high-definition contouring is the goal.
How long until I see results?
Initial results are visible within a few weeks once swelling subsides. However, final results — particularly the full contouring effect — are typically visible at 3–6 months, as residual swelling resolves and skin contracts over the treated areas.
Is Vaser liposuction permanent?
The fat cells removed during Vaser liposuction do not return. However, remaining fat cells in untreated areas can still enlarge with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight after your procedure is important to preserve your results long-term.
How many areas can be treated at once?
Multiple areas can typically be treated in a single procedure. Your surgeon will advise on what is safe based on the total volume of fat planned for removal and your overall health. Treating too many large areas simultaneously can increase risk.
How long will I need to stay in Thailand?
We recommend a minimum of 10–14 days. This allows for your pre-operative consultation, surgery, an overnight hospital stay per treated area, and a follow-up review before you fly home.
Can Vaser liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Vaser is commonly combined with a tummy tuck, mummy makeover or other body contouring procedures. Your surgeon will advise on safe combinations based on your health and the procedures planned.
