VASER Liposelection
VASER Liposelection in Singapore
Stubborn fat deposits can be frustratingly resistant to diet and exercise, especially in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms. Vaser LipoSelection uses advanced ultrasound technology to gently break down fat while preserving surrounding tissues, resulting in a smoother, more sculpted appearance. With less bruising and faster recovery than traditional liposuction, Vaser is ideal for those seeking efficient, high-definition body contouring with minimal downtime.

What is VASER Liposelection?
VASER LipoSelection is 3rd generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction. It combines patented ultrasound technology with advanced surgical techniques to melt and remove fat. The main goals of VASER are fat reduction resulting in body / face contouring.
How is VASER different from conventional Liposuction?
VASER uses ultrasound to selectively melt fat leaving important structures such as blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue largely intact. This means less pain, bruising and swelling after the operation. More precise control in delicate areas leads to safe, smooth results; this is especially important in the face and neck areas. The internal ultrasound also causes further tightening of the skin over time.
Who is suitable for Vaser?
Any individual who is fit for surgery and has unwanted fat may be suitable for VASER.

The common areas treated with VASER are:
