VASER LIPOSUCTION (UAL) IN SINGAPORE
Not all liposuction works the same way. Traditional liposuction removes fat mechanically, with the cannula physically breaking apart tissue as it moves.
Vaser Liposuction, or Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction (UAL), takes a different approach by delivering ultrasound energy into the treatment area first, emulsifying fat cells before they are suctioned out.
This sequence matters because when the fat is liquefied, the surrounding tissue is left undisturbed. This means less post-operative discomfort, minimal bruising and a faster return to daily activities.
Vaser lipo also stimulates collagen production during the procedure, which encourages skin tightening in the treated area. The technique is well-suited to body contouring across multiple areas, from the abdomen and flanks to the arms, thighs, and back.
At Amaris B. Clinic, Vaser Liposuction is performed by Dr Ivan Puah under twilight sedation as a day-surgery procedure.

WHAT IS VASER LIPOSUCTION (UAL)?
Vaser Liposuction (Ultrasonic Assisted Lipo) uses targeted sound energy to gently liquefy fat deposits before removal. The Vaser[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] technique preserves surrounding blood vessels and connective tissue – resulting in smoother, more natural body contours than traditional liposuction.
Key Benefits of Vaser Liposuction:
- Minimised Trauma: Ultrasonic energy selectively breaks down fat cells while protecting vital tissues
- Enhanced Precision: Allows delicate sculpting of areas like abdomen, thighs, and flanks
- Reduced Downtime: Less bruising and faster recovery compared to conventional method
Refined by Dr Ivan Puah, our Vaser Lipo technique delivers transformative yet natural-looking results.
WHAT ARE THE KEY ADVANTAGES OF VASER LIPOSUCTION?
HOW DOES VASER LIPOSUCTION WORK?
Vaser Liposuction is a form of ultrasonic-assisted liposuction performed under local anaesthesia. This fat removal procedure utilises ultrasound energy to gently break down unwanted fat tissues.
1. Infiltration
Tumescent fluid, a special mixture of lidocaine and saline used in liposuction to increase comfort and aid in faster recovery, is infiltrated to numb the targeted area and shrink the blood vessels.
2. Ultrasound Delivery
A probe which emits high ultrasonic frequency is inserted to expand and contract the air bubbles within the tumescent fluid.
The probe oscillates at 36,000 times ultrasonic soundwaves per second, separating fat tissues from other connective tissues.
Even though the probe moves at a fast speed, it does not disturb the veins, arteries, and other connective tissues.

3. Aspiration (Fat Removal)
Once the fat is emulsified, Dr Ivan Puah will carefully suction the liquified fat and carry out body contouring.
Unlike traditional liposuction, which is more intrusive, Vaser Liposuction is gentle on the body.
It breaks down fat cells while leaving other important connective tissues relatively undisturbed; hence the incidence of tissue injuries is significantly reduced.
4. Skin Retraction
Vaser Liposuction can safely and reliably remove fat, contour the targeted area, and promote skin tightening.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF VASER TECHNIQUES?
Standard Vaser Liposuction
General fat removal and body contouring procedure for patients seeking fat reduction in certain body parts
Vaser 4D (Hi-Def) Liposuction
Enhanced muscle definition in patients who cannot achieve the athletic appearance in the gym or through diet
Vaser Smooth
Targets cellulite by breaking down fibrous bands; best for thighs and buttocks
Targets cellulite by breaking down fibrous bands; best for thighs and buttocks
WHAT ARE THE BODY PARTS THAT CAN BE TREATED WITH VASER LIPO?
Pseudogynecomastia
Removes enlarged male breasts characterised by the presence of excess fat deposits.
Thighs & Knees
Provides significant aesthetic improvement of the leg silhouette, creating an “elongating” effect, and improving the proportions of the lower extremities.
Round Belly & Waist
Flattens abdominal fat and contours thick waists, a common concern amongst men and women.
Arms
Shapes and contours bingo wings (arm fat) and tighten loose arm skin.
armpit fat
Removes hard-to-treat areas such as the armpit fat and tightens skin
back fat
Targets back fat (back roll) from overall weight gain, genetics, ageing, genetics, and hormonal changes
Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH)
Targets side effect of fat freezing, where the treated area hardens and enlarges instead of reducing.

WHAT MEDICAL CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED WITH VASER LIPO?
HOW MUCH WEIGHT WILL I LOSE WITH VASER LIPOSUCTION?
Vaser Lipo eliminates stubborn fat permanently and it is not meant for weight loss. To preserve your new body shape, maintain your ideal weight (within 5% fluctuation).
If your goal is significant weight loss, consider our weight management programme.
WHO ARE THE IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR VASER LIPOSUCTION (UAL)?
You may be an excellent candidate for Vaser Liposuction if you:
- Are a healthy adult near your ideal weight (BMI ≤ 30) with stable weight for 6+ months
- Have localised, diet-resistant body fat that you want to get rid of
- Seek proportional contouring rather than significant weight loss
- Desire minimal scarring and natural-looking results
- Possess good elasticity for optimal skin retraction
- Understand that this is not a substitute for healthy lifestyle habits

Dos
Ensure that the doctor is accredited by the Ministry of Health (MOH) Singapore to perform the procedure.
Seek lipo doctors performing a minimum of 100+ annually. High-volume practitioners will refine their techniques for optimal contouring accuracy and complication management.
Request comprehensive before and after case studies. Visual evidence demonstrates technical skill.
Do understand the benefits as well as potential side effects of the procedure. Clear your misconceptions and ask the doctor any questions you find relevant and necessary.
Discuss realistic outcomes, surgical risks and long-term maintenance. Transparent dialogue prevents post-procedure dissatisfaction and aligns expectations.
Don'ts
Compromise safety for cost. Avoid “bargain” packages lacking accredited facilities, trained anaesthetists or post-operative care.
Don’t overlook procedure-specific expertise. Don’t assume all lipo doctors possess equal skills in ultrasonic liposuction.
Don't withhold information during consultations. Undisclosed factors may cause anaesthesia reactions, poor wound healing or suboptimal outcomes.

How long should I take off work after Vaser liposuction?
If your work is desk-bound, you may return to work within 1-2 days post-op. If your job involves heavy lifting or frequent travelling, we recommend that you rest for at least 7 days before you go back to work.
What is the downside of Vaser liposuction?
You may experience temporary bruising, tenderness, soreness, and tingling sensations. All of these will subside in a few weeks, so be patient and diligent with your aftercare routine for an uneventful recovery.
When is lipo swelling the worst?
The swelling after liposuction peaks during the first three days and will subside in a few weeks.
Which hurts worse: VASER lipo or a tummy tuck?
Research indicates that patients who underwent a tummy tuck are experiencing more pain and discomfort than a liposuction procedure.
