Vaser Liposuction in Istanbul, Turkey

Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy to loosen fat from surrounding tissue before it is removed through fine cannulas. The aim is less trauma to vessels and nerves and more precise sculpting; it is also used for “high definition” work that brings out muscle contours. It is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method.

VASER uses ultrasound energy to loosen fat cells before they are suctioned out, so fat can be removed with less force; this helps in fibrous areas such as the back or male chest and for detailed contouring. It is a tool in the surgeon’s hands rather than a different operation: safe volume limits and recovery are similar to traditional liposuction, and neither is better for everyone.

Plan about 5 to 7 days in Istanbul, usually with one night in hospital. Wear the compression garment throughout the flight home, walk in the aisle and drink water.

Desk work is usually possible after about five days and sport after about four weeks, restarting gradually. The compression garment is worn for around six weeks, and the final contour appears at about six months once swelling has settled.

The cost depends on how many areas are treated, the volume of fat and whether high-definition contouring is planned. After a physician has reviewed your photos and medical history, New City Clinic sends you an itemised written quote; flights are not included.

High-definition contouring removes fat selectively around the natural muscle outlines, but it needs low body fat and a good muscle base, so it is not suitable for everyone. VASER is not a weight-loss treatment and does not replace a lift when the skin is clearly loose; the surgeon tells you at the examination what is realistic.

Localised fat on areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back and the male chest. VASER is especially useful where fat is dense or fibrous, such as the back and the male chest, and for detailed contouring; the surgeon confirms which areas suit you from your photos.

Yes. The male chest, flanks and abdomen are among the most common VASER areas, and VASER is often used together with gland removal in gynecomastia surgery.

Yes, liposuction is often part of a tummy tuck, Lipo 360 or BBL. The surgeon decides how much can safely be done in one operation.

The cost depends on the scope of the procedure, the technique, the hospital and your accommodation choice. After a physician's assessment, New City Clinic sends you an itemised written quote; getting a quote is free.

Your quote lists the hospital and physician fees, required tests, check-ups, airport–hotel–hospital transfers and, on request, hotel accommodation as separate items. Flights are not included; we can help organise them if you wish.

The procedure takes about 2–4 hours. Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia.

Neither is better for everyone. VASER helps in fibrous areas and for detailed contouring; the surgeon chooses according to your tissues.

It may help the skin adapt a little, but it does not replace a lift when the skin is clearly loose.
