Gastric Liposuction Melbourne | Abdominal Lipo | cosmos clinic (2023)

Using Vaser technology, abdominal liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to target stubborn fat deposits, breaking down the fat and allowing for a smooth removal process. The ultrasonic energy can produce a skin tightening effect, prevent sagging skin and leave a firm and toned result.¹

Because Vaser liposuction is gentler than conventional liposuction, the procedure can be performed under twilight sleep and local anesthesia. If patients prefer general anesthesia, this is still an option.

Through a small incision in the navel or near the bikini line, the Vaser probe is inserted and moved from side to side to deliver ultrasonic energy to stubborn fat cells. After the fat cells have been separated and the unwanted fat melted away, the fat is removed with a cannula.

For those who wish to have a particularly muscular and athletic stomach, Vaser High Definition is an even more precise method that allows for better visibility of the underlying muscles.
