Liposuction with MED HARBOUR,

Advanced Body Contouring with

VASER & Water Jet

At Med Harbour Thailand, we specialise in modern liposuction techniques designed to reshape the body with precision, safety, and long-lasting results. Many people find that even with a healthy lifestyle, stubborn fat deposits remain on the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, or chin. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss, but rather a powerful way to sculpt and contour the body where diet and exercise alone cannot help.

We offer two of the most advanced technologies: VASER Liposuction and Water Jet Assisted Liposuction (Body-Jet®). These methods are gentler, safer, and more effective than traditional liposuction, with reduced downtime and enhanced body definition.

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat through small incisions using a cannula (thin tube). At Med Harbour, our surgeons use energy-assisted techniques (ultrasound or water jet) to separate fat cells more gently before extraction.

This means:

• Less trauma to the surrounding tissues
• Reduced bleeding, swelling, and bruising
• Faster recovery and smoother results

Liposuction can be performed on almost any part of the body, and is often combined with other procedures such as tummy tuck, breast lift, or fat transfer for a more complete transformation.

Types of Liposuction at Med Harbour

VASER Liposuction

VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells before suctioning.

Benefits of VASER Liposuction:

• High-precision fat removal, suitable for both large and delicate areas
• Ideal for creating high-definition contouring (six-pack, defined waistline, sculpted arms)
• Preserves surrounding structures like nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue
• Less bruising and faster healing compared to traditional methods
• Excellent for fibrous or resistant areas such as chest (gynecomastia), back rolls, or flanks

Water Jet Assisted Liposuction (Body-Jet®)

Also known as WAL, this technique uses a gentle, pressurised stream of water to dislodge fat cells before removal. The process is softer on the tissues and preserves fat cell viability, making it perfect for fat transfer procedures.

Benefits of Water Jet Liposuction:



• Minimal trauma smoother recovery with less swelling and pain
• Fat harvested remains healthy and can be re-used for natural fat grafting (breasts, buttocks, face, hands)
• Shorter surgery time compared to traditional liposuction
• Effective for contouring larger areas or combining with body lifts after weight loss

Areas Commonly Treated

• Abdomen & Waist (Muffin Top, Love Handles)
• Hips & Flanks
• Thighs (Inner & Outer)
• Upper Arms
• Back & Bra-Line Rolls
• Chest (men with gynecomastia)
• Neck & Chin (Double Chin Reduction)
• Lower Back & Buttock Shaping

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a candidate for liposuction if you:

• Are close to your ideal body weight but have localised fat deposits resistant to diet/exercise
• Have good skin tone and elasticity (skin can retract after fat removal)
• Are in good health without major medical conditions
• Do not smoke or are willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
• Have realistic expectations liposuction is for shaping, not weight loss

The Procedure What to Expect

1. Consultation & Planning Our surgeons evaluate your body shape, goals, and medical history to create a customised plan.

2. Anaesthesia Liposuction is usually performed under general anaesthesia or sedation.

3. Fat Removal Depending on the method, ultrasound (VASER) or water jet (WAL) is used to break down fat before gentle suction.

4. Sculpting The surgeon carefully contours the area to ensure smooth, natural results.

5. Closing & Recovery Small incisions are closed, compression garments are applied, and patients usually go home the next day.

Recovery Timeline

• Day 1-3: Mild soreness, swelling, and bruising (less than traditional lipo). Light walking is encouraged.
• Week 1: Return to light activities; compression garments worn 24/7.
• Week 2-3: Most swelling decreases; stitches removed if needed.
• Week 4-6: Resume normal activities and light exercise.
• 3 Months: Final results more visible as swelling subsides.
• 6 Months: Optimal contour achieved.

Risks & Considerations

All surgeries carry some risk. Possible complications include swelling, bruising, irregular contours, infection, or fluid collection (seroma). Choosing an experienced surgeon at Med Harbour reduces these risks significantly. Our safety protocol includes pre-operative health checks, accredited surgical facilities, and attentive post-op care.
