VASER Liposuction

Cosmos Clinic Brisbane offers VASER liposuction — an ultrasound-assisted technique that emulsifies fat cells before removal, resulting in smoother contours and less trauma to surrounding tissue compared to traditional liposuction. Treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, arms, back, inner and outer thighs, knees, calves, and submental zone. Two pre-surgical consultations and a GP referral are required before any procedure. Results are long-lasting provided a stable body weight is maintained post-operatively.

VASER liposuction at Cosmos Clinic Brisbane uses ultrasonic energy delivered via a small probe to selectively emulsify adipocytes in the subcutaneous fat layer before they are gently aspirated. The ultrasound energy specifically targets fat cells while being less disruptive to blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue than traditional power-assisted liposuction, which translates to reduced bruising, smoother contour outcomes, and a more predictable recovery course for Brisbane and broader South East Queensland patients. The VASER system is particularly well-suited to fibrous fat areas such as the flanks, back, and male chest (gynecomastia), where the emulsification step makes aspiration considerably more efficient. Treatment zones at Cosmos Clinic Brisbane span the full range of common liposuction sites: upper and lower abdomen, love handles and flanks, back rolls and bra-strap area, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, knees, calves and ankles, chin and neck, and the chest for gynecomastia correction. The surgical procedure is performed under general anaesthesia or tumescent local anaesthesia depending on the volume of fat being removed and the number of areas treated, with anaesthesia costs quoted separately at consultation. Cosmos Clinic follows a clinically rigorous pre-operative pathway — patients are required to obtain a GP referral and attend two separate consultations with the treating physician before a surgical date is confirmed. This two-consultation model ensures clinical appropriateness, sets realistic expectations, and allows time for any required pre-operative investigations. Post-operatively, compression garments are worn for several weeks to support skin retraction and manage swelling; most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks and resume exercise at six weeks. VASER liposuction permanently removes treated adipocytes — cells that are removed do not regenerate — making results durable provided post-operative weight is maintained within the target range.
