Body Contouring Using Vaser Liposuction: Retrospective Analysis of 175 Consecutive Cases at a Single Centre
Saumya Kumar NayakIntroduction:
Vaser liposuction has emerged as a safe and effective technique for body contouring. This study aims to present the results of body contouring procedures, both debulking and high-definition liposuction, using the Vaser system in a single surgeon’s practice.
Methods:
This is a retrospective review of 175 patients who underwent Vaser-assisted body contouring procedures between January 2022 and July 2024. The patient population included 102 females and 73 males. Various body regions were addressed, including the chin/jawline, arms, chest (gynaecomastia), abdomen, flanks, back, thighs and calves. Both debulking and high-definition liposuction techniques were utilised. Postoperative care involved the use of customised compression garments for three months.
Results:
Significant improvements in body contour were achieved in all treated areas, with high patient satisfaction. In the high-definition liposuction group, well-defined anatomical lines were created without the need for fat grafting. Gynaecomastia cases were successfully managed with Vaser liposuction alone, avoiding the need for open excision. Postoperative recovery was generally smooth, with minimal complications reported.
Conclusion:
Vaser-assisted liposuction is a versatile and reliable technique for body contouring in both male and female patients. The ability to precisely target and remove unwanted fat, while maintaining skin tightening and minimising complications, makes it a valuable tool in the plastic surgeon’s armamentarium. The presented results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in achieving desired aesthetic outcomes.
