VASER is a form of ultrasound assisted liposuction. Ultrasound energy helps prepare the fat tissue before removal. The aim is individually planned body contouring. Whether it is appropriate compared with another method depends on the findings and medical assessment.

With a Vaser® treatment, the first step is to inject a special local anesthetic diluted in a saline solution into the area to be treated. This has an anesthetic effect and leads to a contraction of the local blood vessels. At the same time, the body volume temporarily increases at the injected areas. This has the advantage that fat cells can be removed more easily.
Subsequently, during a Vaser®lipo procedure, fine ultrasound probes are inserted into the tissue through minimal incisions. These probes emit ultrasound energy and detach the fat cells from their structure, while the surrounding tissue remains intact and is protected.
Next, with a Vaser®lipo treatment, the dissolved fat is removed with a special suction cannula. Thanks to the gentle process, the surrounding tissue remains largely intact.
A particular skin tightening effect or a superior result cannot be promised for every patient.
The procedure can still cause tissue injury. Risks include swelling, bruising, infection, altered sensation and contour irregularities; ultrasound assisted methods can also cause heat injury. Small access incisions may leave scars. A particular skin tightening effect or a superior result cannot be promised for every patient.

A VASER®lipo operation is particularly useful if athletically active and nutrition-conscious patients suffer from genetically determined, therapy-resistant fat deposits and want to have these problem areas removed.
In particular, however, also patients who, in addition to therapy-resistant fat deposits, no longer have very tight skin and connective tissue conditions and want to avoid surgical skin tightening.
Smoking can cause the blood flow to the skin and connective tissue to deteriorate. This may lead to delayed wound healing.
Before the surgical procedure and 10 days after the procedure, patients should avoid smoking to ensure rapid and optimal wound healing.
In addition, patients should avoid taking blood-thinning medications (ASA – aspirin) and multivitamin preparations around 10 days before the operation.
If you regularly take medication, it is necessary to address them during the consultation to avoid complications after the procedure.
The appropriate anaesthetic depends on the procedure and your health. Treatment time and the return to work or exercise depend on factors including the extent of treatment and the demands of your activities. A short website summary cannot replace individual planning. Follow up appointments, compression garments and other measures are specified in your personal treatment plan.
