THE RESULTS
THE PROCEDURE
Armpit liposuction at Cosmos Clinic uses Vaser technology, an advanced technique employing ultrasound energy to liquefy fat cells for easier removal. This modern approach is less invasive than traditional liposuction, offering more precise fat extraction with reduced tissue trauma.
Excess fat in the armpit area can sometimes be unresponsive to lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Liposuction under the arms may help improve comfort when wearing certain clothing and address challenges caused by fat deposits in this area. The procedure also utilises ultrasound energy, which may support skin recovery, though results vary based on individual factors.
At Cosmos Clinic, armpit liposuction is typically performed under twilight sedation and local anaesthesia, though general anaesthesia is available upon request. Small incisions are made in discreet locations, such as the groin crease or underarm. A Vaser probe delivers ultrasound energy to soften fat deposits, which are then suctioned out through a cannula.
The cost of Vaser liposuction is influenced by factors such as the amount of fat being removed, the complexity of the procedure, and the anaesthetic used. Your personalised treatment plan, including a detailed cost breakdown, will be provided during your consultation. This ensures transparency and helps you understand all associated expenses, including consultation fees, anaesthetist costs, and post-surgical follow-ups.

Post-Procedure
Recovery is usually manageable, with most patients able to resume light activities within a week. It’s common to experience mild pain, swelling, and fluid leakage from the incision sites for the first few days. Wearing a compression garment full-time for three weeks and part-time for another three weeks is essential to support healing.
Patients are encouraged to attend follow-up appointments and may require lymphatic massages to promote recovery. You will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions, including guidance on rest, diet, and monitoring for any concerns.
As with any surgical procedure, armpit liposuction carries potential risks, including:
Most side effects are temporary and improve as the body heals. Your doctor will discuss all potential risks during your consultation to ensure you’re fully informed.
During the procedure, you will be under sedation, so it’s unlikely you’ll feel any pain. Some discomfort may be felt. Some pain during the recovery period is normal, and is typically is manageable with prescription medication.
The ultrasound energy used in the Vaser liposuction technique not only facilitates effective fat removal but can also support skin tightening in the treated area.
Fat removal through Vaser liposuction is considered permanent for the fat cells that are removed during the procedure. Once these fat cells are gone, they won’t grow back. However, it’s important to know that the remaining fat cells in your body can still expand if you gain weight. While the treated areas might not store fat in the same way as before, changes in weight can still impact your overall shape. To maintain the results, adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise routine is key.
