What is VASER Liposuction?

VASER liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to selectively break down fat cells while preserving blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue—allowing more precise body sculpting, faster recovery, and smoother results than traditional liposuction.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: VASER excels at high-definition contouring ("six-pack abs") because it can sculpt around muscle. However, it's not a weight-loss solution—best results require being within 10-15 kg of ideal weight. The removed fat can be transferred to buttocks (BBL), breasts, or face.

⚠️ Insider Note: Compression garments are essential for 4-6 weeks post-op—don't skip this step. Results take 3-6 months as swelling resolves. VASER is gentler than traditional lipo but still requires skilled surgeons for optimal results. Lymphatic massage in the first 4 weeks significantly improves outcomes.

Certain medical conditions

The Process

Day 1 – Consultation: Physical assessment, areas marked, photos, surgical plan.

Day 2 – Surgery: General or local anesthesia (2-4 hours), VASER treatment, fat extraction, compression garment fitted.

Days 3-5 – Recovery: Rest, compression garment 24/7, prescribed medications, gentle walking.

Day 6-7 – Check-up: Surgeon review, drain removal if applicable, departure clearance.

Post-op care: Lymphatic massage recommended (3-4 sessions), compression for 4-6 weeks.

Recovery & Downtime

Days 4-7: Swelling peaks then starts reducing
Week 2: Return to desk work, light activities
Week 3-4: Resume moderate exercise
Month 1-2: 60-70% improvement visible
Month 3-6: Final results as swelling fully resolves
Permanent: Fat cells removed don't return

Potential Side Effects

Swelling lasting weeks to months (occurs in 100% of patients)

Infection (occurs in <1% of patients)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is VASER liposuction painful?

Moderate discomfort for the first 3-5 days, rated 4-6/10. Pain is managed with prescribed medication. Most patients describe it as soreness rather than sharp pain. VASER causes less trauma than traditional lipo, so recovery is generally easier.

Is VASER liposuction safe in Turkey?

Yes—Turkey's top plastic surgery clinics have JCI accreditation and internationally trained surgeons. VASER equipment is the same used worldwide (Sound Surgical Technologies). High surgical volumes mean Turkish surgeons have extensive experience.

Why is VASER cheaper in Turkey?

Lower operating costs, favorable exchange rates, and high patient volume. The same VASER equipment and techniques are used as in Western countries. Savings come from overheads, not quality.

How many days do I need in Turkey?

5-7 days minimum. Day 1-2: consultation and surgery. Days 3-6: recovery and follow-up. Day 7: final check before departure. Many patients stay 7-10 days for extra comfort.

What's the difference between VASER and traditional lipo?

VASER uses ultrasound to selectively liquefy fat, preserving blood vessels and nerves. Benefits: less bruising, faster recovery, smoother results, better skin tightening. Traditional lipo is more aggressive and has longer recovery.

Is the fat removal permanent?

Yes—removed fat cells don't regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain. Maintain a stable weight to preserve results. New fat may deposit in untreated areas if you gain significant weight.

Can VASER tighten loose skin?

VASER stimulates collagen production, providing mild skin tightening. However, for significant loose or sagging skin, a skin removal procedure (tummy tuck, arm lift) may be needed. Best results are with good skin elasticity.

What is high-definition VASER?

VASER Hi-Def sculpts fat around muscles to create athletic contours (visible abs, pecs). It requires an already fit body with low body fat. Not everyone is a candidate—discuss with your surgeon if this is your goal.
