At botonics, we operate under the highest ethical standards aiming to give all our clients a frank and honest assessment of what a procedure entails and what results you can expect. We prefer to under-promise and over-deliver to our clients rather than disappoint them.
Where can I have Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure?
In London Harley Street. You can have a consultation with a botonics surgeon at any of our London clinics, but Vaser Lipo Liposelection needs to be done in specially configured facilities.
What areas can be treated with Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
Vaser Lipo Liposelection can be used to improve virtually any pocket of fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. This includes areas traditional Liposuction could not treat, such as the backs of the arms, the inner thighs, the upper part of the abdomen and the neck/jawline. Vaser Lipo Liposelection is able to treat these areas because it is minimally invasive and less traumatic, so the delicate nerves and blood vessels undergo significantly less trauma.
Can Vaser Lipo Liposelection be used to treat fat deposits under the eyes?
No. Blepharoplasty surgery or mesotherapy injections are the only solution to fat deposits under the eyes.
What will happen during Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure?
Several micro-incisions about 3mm in length are made and an anaesthetic is 'infused' into each target area. Once the anaesthetic has taken affect, your botonics surgeon will insert the thin ultrasonic treatment head into the fat layer. The micro-vibrations from the treatment head will emulsify the fat, taking about 15 - 20 minutes per target area. The emulsified fat is then aspirated or suctioned out. The Vaser head does minimal damage to connective tissues and blood vessels, resulting in only minor bruising and post-procedure discomfort. Contrast this with traditional Liposuction which effectively scrapes the fat using a 3-6mm metal cannula leaving a visible scar, subcutaneous hollows, internal bleeding and loose skin.
Does Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure hurt?
The least comfortable part of the procedure is infusion of the anaesthetic. Your botonics surgeon will anaesthetise the surface of your skin at the entry area, then inject an anaesthetic into the fat layer that will be treated. This stage stings somewhat and lasts about 2 minutes for each area that will be treated. Once the anaesthetic has taken affect, you feel very little apart from the occasional twinge of discomfort and a dull, tugging sensation. Those clients that have experienced resistance to local anaesthetics (e.g. when having dental work) may experience a similar resistance to the local anaesthetic we use for Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure. The Vaser acts on the fat cells without affecting the nerve endings, so discomfort is significantly reduced relative to Liposuction.
Will I notice anything else during the Vaser Lipo procedure?
Most clients hear a high-pitched sound in their ears. This is normal, and is simply the ultrasonic vibrations resonating in your ear drums. It is an unusual sound, but perfectly normal and not harmful in any way.
How long does Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure take?
Since it is minimally invasive and done under a local anaesthetic, Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedures usually takes less than an hour per area treated. We ask clients to allow anywhere from one and half to three hours from arrival time at the clinic until they are on their way home. You are awake during the entire process and all you will feel is some tugging and pressure as your botonics surgeon sculpts the fat emulsifying vaser around the treated area. Note, however, that because of sedatives and local anaesthetic, you may feel a bit shakey after the procedure and so you should not drive a car within 24 hours.
When can I have Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure?
For the convenience of our clients, we offer evening and weekend consultations, so you don't have to take any time off of work. Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedures can take place Monday through Friday.
What happens to the fat emulsified by Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
Most of it is aspirated (suctioned) out as a last step in the procedure. The fat cells are emulsified by the vaser and they are converted into a thick, oily liquid. The liquid that is not aspirated on the day is eliminated naturally through your lymphatic and blood systems over the subsequent few weeks. Traditional Liposuction scrapes the fat and vacuums it out, leaving subcutaneous hollows and loose skin.
How quickly can I return to work after Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
While we advise clients to not have any commitment for a couple of days after your procedure, many clients actually return to work a day or two after Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure.
What ages can be treated with Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
All ages can be treated. Provided you are reasonably healthy, age is really no restriction. People aged 18 – 80 have benefited from Vaser Lipo Liposelection. Good results depend more on your level of physical activity, health and skin tone than biological age.
Is there any reason I could not be treated with Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
Yes. You need to be in generally good health, ideally carry out regular exercise, have good eating habits and your weight should not exceed 25% of your ideal weight. Your blood, heart, liver and kidneys should be free from any disorders and your should not be taking any anticoagulants or be diabetic. You should not be taking steroids or anti-inflammatory medications for more than a few days. Your full medical history will be discussed with your botonics surgeon during your consultation to confirm that you're suitable for a Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure.
Will I be put to sleep during the Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure?
No. A local anaesthetic is injected to the target area. You remain awake from beginning to end but thanks to oral sedatives and painkillers, you will be relaxed and largely pain free throughout the procedure.
How long will I need to be in bandages after Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
You will need to wear support garments or bandages for about two weeks after Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure. Normally your botonics surgeon will recommend you wear the supplied support garment for 24 hours/day during the first week, and during the evenings for the second week. Traditional Liposuction ruptures veins creating haematomas (blood clots) that require compression bandages to be worn for four weeks or more. This is highly inconvenient for the client. Vaser Lipo Liposelection is much less traumatic to the connective tissues, nerve endings and blood vessels so bruising and swelling is also significantly reduced.
How quickly will I see results after my Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure?
The bulk of the results are visible in two weeks once your swelling has subsided. Immediately after your Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure, you will be a bit swollen from the anaesthetic and trauma to the fat cells. This will go away in 24 - 48 hours after Vaser Lipo Liposelection. Any residual emulsified fat will be absorbed and eliminated through your body's natural metabolic processes over a period of two months after Vaser Lipo Liposelection. We recommend that you have several sessions of lymphatic drainage massage after your procedure, to help speed the results and reduce the swelling.
How much of a scar will I be left with after Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
You will probably be left with a very small scar about 4mm in length for each incision point. For most people, this scar completely fades or becomes invisible with time, although this depends on each individual client's reaction to scarring.
Will I be left with loose skin after my Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure?
No. One of the great advantages of Vaser Lipo Liposelection is that the Vaser minimises trauma to connective tissues such as nerve endings and blood vessels. Traditional Liposuction leaves subcutaneous hollows and a feeling of loose or baggy skin since it scrapes and vacuums out fat cells. Vaser Lipo Liposelection emulsifies cells so there are no hollows. In fact, we have done a large number of corrective Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedures to clients who have been left with uneven or rippling skin following Liposuction.
Is Vaser Lipo Liposelection a procedure for obesity?
No. Vaser Lipo Liposelection, SmartLipo and traditional Liposuction are not appropriate for significant weight loss. Diet and exercise are the best approach to treat obesity.
Is the fat removal permanent following Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
Yes. Your body will not produce any new fat cells to replace the ones emulsified by Vaser Lipo Liposelection. However, you still need to maintain a healthy diet since excess calories will result in a swelling of other remaining fat cells in the body.
Can I be treated with Vaser Lipo Liposelection on the same day as my consulation?
No. Though Vaser Lipo Liposelection is minimally invasive and low risk, it is still a serious medical procedure and we require our clients to consider all the alternatives and risks before proceeding. If both you and your botonics surgeon are happy to proceed following your consultation, your Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure can be booked in for the next available slot after your consultation.
Can I receive Vaser Lipo Liposelection at any botonics clinic?
No. We currently only offer Vaser Lipo Liposelection at our clinic in London Harley Street. However, you can receive your Vaser Lipo Liposelection consultation with a botonics surgeon at any of our partner Clinic locations in London.
Can Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedures be repeated?
Yes. Unlike traditional Liposuction, the same area can be treated in successive sessions. In fact, when larger areas of fat need to be addressed, a course of Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedures is likely the best option to sculpt the final result. You must wait two months to see the full affect of your procedure after which additional procedures to the same area are possible. Your botonics surgeon can discuss the best course of treatment for you.
Is Vaser Lipo Liposelection new technology?
No. Vaser Lipo Liposelection has been used to successfully treat thousands of clients worldwide since March 2001 and is approved by the US FDA. It is new to the UK having been introduced in 2008. We were among the first to offer the procedure and are still one of the most experienced in the country.
Do I have to visit a hospital for Vaser Lipo Liposelection?
No. Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedures are undertaken at our botonics clinic in Harley Street. This is a private and discrete doctors surgery.
Is Vaser Lipo Liposelection called anything else?
Vaser Lipo Liposelection is also referred to as Vaser Hi Def, Vaser Lipolysis and Lipo Vaser. All these terms refer to the same technology and procedure.
Can I have Vaser Lipo Liposelection if I have an under active thyroid?
Provided your hormone levels are stabilised by medication then yes you can still have Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure.

How much does Vaser Lipo Liposelection cost?
Much less than traditional Liposuction. We indicate Vaser Lipo Liposelection prices for guidance, but the exact cost will depend on the extent of the procedure. Most people find that a single Vaser Lipo Liposelection session is all they need.

Financing is available for Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedures.
Are there any hidden extras in the Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure?
The only potential extra costs for you could be a short course of antibiotics costing about £10. Otherwise, the price quoted to you by botonics includes the consultation, Vaser Lipo Liposelection procedure, support garment, clinical photographs, all follow up visits and all applicable taxes.
