If you’re considering Vaser Liposuction, you might have questions about the recovery process and the potential for visible scars. While liposuction scars are typically small and inconspicuous, it’s important to have realistic expectations. Factors such as skin tone and individual healing responses can affect scar appearance. Below is a more detailed overview of what to expect.

The Liposuction Procedure

At Cosmos Clinic, we perform Vaser Liposuction using advanced ultrasound technology. A small cannula probe dissolves the targeted fat layer, making it easier to remove fat cells from specific areas of the body.

The cannula acts as a high-tech vacuum, liquefying the fat deposits for removal. This process allows for precision fat removal in areas such as the stomach, thighs, and even smaller regions like the chin and neck.

Incision Placement and Healing

To perform the procedure, small incisions are made to allow the cannula to access the treatment area. These incisions are typically 0.5–1 cm long and are designed to heal quickly without the need for stitches.

The number of incisions will depend on the amount of fat being removed and the area being treated. Wherever possible, these incisions are placed discreetly, such as along the bikini line or within the belly button to minimise visibility.

Visibility of Scars

While liposuction scars are typically small and inconspicuous, it’s important to have realistic expectations. Factors such as skin tone and individual healing responses can affect scar appearance.For individuals prone to keloid scarring, it’s crucial to inform your practitioner during your consultation.

Post-Surgery Care

To support healing and optimise results, your practitioner will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions. These may include:

  • Wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and bruising.
  • Proper wound care to prevent complications.
  • Application of silicone scar products to help scars fade over time.
  • Specific skincare advice tailored to your procedure.
