VASER Liposuction
Despite regular exercise and a good diet, many people find they have stubborn pockets of fat that they can’t get rid of.
VASER liposuction is a new technology that uses ultrasound to break up the fat cells, making them easier to extract with reduced downtime. This makes VASER the preferred method of liposuction to effectively reshape, contour and sculpt the body. The Coppergate Clinic in York, is one of a few centres in the UK that is able to offer this industry leading technology to its patients.
The ultrasonic energy released from the VASER probe melts the fat allowing the surgeon to precisely target the fat to be removed, resulting in less trauma and superior results.
VASER liposuction can be performed alone, and if it is only a small area can sometimes be done with the patient awake. It is often combined with other procedures such as tummy tuck, arm lift and Renuvion skin tightening whilst under general anaesthetic.
What to Expect on The Day:
The team will welcome you to the clinic and get you settled and relaxed. If you are having a general anaesthetic will meet the consultant anaesthetist who will discuss this with you. We will go through the procedure and discuss the process and sign the consent form. Photographs will be taken before heading to theatre.
Mr West will mark the areas to be targeted with the VASER liposuction. Once in theatre and comfortable, Mr West will perform the liposuction through small 5mm incisions. These incisions are closed with small skin stiches and dressings will be placed over the scars and a post surgical compression garment is put on.
Following surgery we will ensure all aftercare is explained and follow up appointments are arranged before letting you leave.

Frequently asked questions
What areas can be treated with VASER liposuction?
Liposuction is best for targeting specific pockets of fat. The most common places for liposuction are stomach, hips, flanks, thighs, arms, neck/chin and chest in men.
Does VASER liposuction leave scars?
Small 5mm scars are needed to allow the liposuction cannula to be inserted and the fat removed. These are small and generally settle down well over time.
What is the difference between standard liposuction and VASER liposuction?
Liposuction works by breaking up the fat before sucking it out. In standard liposuction the fat is physically broken up with the liposuction cannula. VASER uses ultrasound waves to break up the fat. It is therefore thought to be less traumatic to the tissue.
What are the follow up or aftercare procedures?
Wounds are checked 7 – 10 days after surgery and scar massage begins after 2 weeks. If you have had extensive liposuction, we might also recommend deep tissue massage. Further review appointment is usually made 4-6 weeks after surgery.
Will I have drains?
In most cases Mr West does not use drains.
When can I start playing sports again?
Light activity is ok after 2 weeks. Vigorous exercise should be avoided for at least 3 – 4 weeks.
When can I shower?
You can shower the day after surgery. Dressings are shower proof and should be dabbed dry.
