Vaser Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the world, and has allowed millions of men and women take control of their body shape. This is especially because everyone wants to look and feel their best by getting a well-sculpted and leaner silhouette. The procedure is mainly ideal for individuals who are in good shape but with trouble areas that are resistant to traditional methods of weight loss like diet and exercise.
Sometimes there are some body areas where the traditional liposuction cannot be done because these areas might be too hidden, too small or in delicate areas. This is where Vaser liposuction comes in.
Vaser ultrasonic liposuction, simply known as Vaser liposuction, is an FDA-approved revolutionary fat removal procedure which offers a safe alternative to traditional liposuction. It assists with both minor and major lipo procedures almost anywhere on the body, with minimal downtime, faster recovery, and permanent results.
Vaser Technique
Vaser liposuction is a cutting edge technology of treatments which are intended to improve body shape and contours. Vaser stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance and is an efficient technique for body fat removal.
Also referred to as Vaser High definition liposuction in Dubai, it is an alternative to the traditional liposuction as it uses state of the art ultrasound technology, which is designed specifically for body reshaping and skin tightening. This treatment gets rid of fatty tissue while at the same time preserving the surrounding tissues such as nerves and blood vessels.
Not only does this liposuction technique result in an enhanced appearance which is a smoother contour, but the muscle groups also yield a more chiselled, and healthier appearance too. Additionally, the procedure also tightens the skin, which can possibly help you avoid a major surgery to remove excess skin. So if you have loose skin, Vaser lipo may be the answer for you.

The Vaser Liposuction Process
a) The Consultation
The first step of having a Vaser liposuction procedure in Dubai is to have a detailed consultation and examination in the clinic with our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, to determine a tailor-made plan for each candidate.
b) The Surgery
The second step is to schedule the Vaser liposuction surgery with the highly qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who is an expert in Vaser liposuction and anti-aging procedures. The procedure requires a minimum of one hour depending on the size of the area to be treated. Local anesthesia is applied to the target area to help with the discomfort.
Prior to the surgery, each patient is screened to ensure that it is safe to proceed with the surgery. This includes a pre-anesthetic consultation, blood testing and to ensure the patient is a fit candidate for the procedure.
The entire Vaser liposuction procedure typically takes 2-3 hours. During process, ultrasonic sound waves are delivered to the area of concern with a wand via a tiny incision. The ultrasound high frequency vibration breaks down the fat cells after which they are suctioned out of the body using a micro-cannula.
The Vaser liposuction technique leaves the surrounding tissue under the skin intact, resulting in a smoother and more toned skin after the procedure.
c) The Recovery
After the procedure, you will be slightly bruised, swollen and sore for the first few days, but these fade away quickly. Wearing a compression garment is advised so as to speed up the healing process. Everyone’s recovery varies slightly, but most people are usually able to return to work within 3-5 days. Even though you are able to stand and walk on the same day of the surgery, you are advised to relax for a day or two.
As you continue to recover, you will notice that your skin may begin to tighten as collagen regeneration occurs. The firming may continue for up to six months after your procedure and you’ll see a firmer skin that is smooth to the touch.
Our expert Plastic Surgeon accompanies the patient throughout the entire process of recovering and healing through scheduled follow-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do VASER liposuction and traditional liposuction differ?
The main difference between traditional lipo and VASER lipo is the technology and the tools used.
Traditional liposuction involves the use of a cannula and an aspirator to remove the fat deposits. A Plastic Surgeon inserts the cannula in the treatment area and moves it vigorously in a back and forth motion. This dislodges the fat cells and helps to remove them uniformly.
With VASER liposuction, the fat deposits are dislodged using an ultrasonic device before the insertion of the cannula and aspirator.
Although both techniques remove unwanted fat deposits, VASER technology involves a much simpler extraction and shorter downtime.
How much fat can be removed during VASER liposuction?
The amount of fat removed during VASER lipo varies from person to person depending on how one desires to enhance his/her appearance. However, each session is limited to not more than 3 liters of fat or 4% of the person’s body weight to avoid complications.
Excessive removal of fat is dangerous to a person’s health as it can lead to burns, seromas, contour irregularities, and abnormal-looking results. It is, therefore, better to have touch-up treatment sessions to optimize the results rather than to put yourself at risk for potential complications.
Does VASER liposuction tighten skin?
VASER liposuction provides a moderate amount of skin tightening. During the process of fat removal, the skin can become firmer and tighter. However, VASER liposuction alone is not enough to achieve the desired skin tightening effect. Other skin tightening treatments are required to achieve the best possible results.
For individuals with severe skin laxity, VASER lipo is not a suitable treatment but your Plastic Surgeon can guide you on the best skin tightening options available for your issue.
How long is the downtime after VASER liposuction?
Downtime for VASER liposuction is shorter than that of traditional liposuction. It is recommended to take about one or two days off work or social activities to rest after the procedure. Most of the swelling is usually gone within two to three weeks and wearing a compression garment helps with this. You will however have to engage in minimal activities in the first two to three weeks during recovery.
What happens if I gain weight in the future after VASER liposuction?
Once the fat is removed it never comes back. However, if there were untreated areas and you gain more than 5% of your body weight, the new weight gain will be distributed over your entire body. Most of the fat will go to the untreated areas of the body or the areas that are most prone to store fatty deposits.
Between VASER lipo and Smart Lipo, which is better?
Both Smart lipo and VASER lipo are excellent fat removal techniques that produce great results. while VASER uses ultrasonic technology, Smart lipo uses a laser fiber to dislodge fat deposits before extraction.
VASER Lipo can be used to treat and contour both small and moderately sized areas. Smart Lipo on the other hand is better for sculpting small areas.
To know which technique is best for you, consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is skilled in liposuction techniques.
How long will it take to resume exercising after VASER liposuction?
It is important to get up and moving as soon as possible after VASER liposuction as this helps with the healing. Gentle exercise is usually started after about 2 weeks. After 4 weeks, you can start on moderate exercise and gradually ease back into your normal exercise routine. Listen to your body and consult with your Plastic Surgeon before resuming any activities.
Patient Reviews
I had a major surgery at a Alshunnar clinic two years ago.. and I want to share my experience. Dr. Buthaina Alshunnar was incredibly attentive, always answering my calls and addressing my questions and concerns. For the first three weeks following my surgery, i visited the doctor three times a week to monitor my condition and ensure my well-being, given my high risk of infection due to diabetes. Dr. Buthaina Before being an outstanding doctor, this person is an incredible human being, truly exceptional in every way. Two years after my surgery, my sister traveled from Germany to have her surgery done, and she was equally impressed. Initially skeptical, she now understands why I spoke so highly of this clinic and doctor Buthaina. The entire team, including the doctor’s PA, Madame Rima, the receptionist, and coordinators like Ms. Waqar and Ms. Muntaha, nurses is exceptional. From a professional and medical standpoint, they provided an excellent experience, alleviating my initial fears. The aftercare was outstanding as well. Despite the major nature of the surgery, it received immense love, care, and support from both the doctor and the clinic staff. I highly recommend this clinic. I am incredibly proud that such a high standard of care exists in my beloved country the UAE.
