Before and after pictures female VASER 4D

Here are some examples of results at 8 weeks after VASER 4D Lipo in females. Final results tend to show at about 6 months.


This lady is very slim but has some stubborn pockets of fat in her lower belly and on her love handles (flanks) as well as her outer thighs. Because of her excellent skin tone and no stretch marks, she was suitable for VASER 4D, technique to create the most feminine shape with VASER Liposuction. 

New body by Dr Ravi Jain

As you can see, amazing results can be achieved very quickly and she has a brand new shape. Results will continue to improve up to 6 months after surgery, when the real definition will start to reveal itself.

VASER Lipo for Chin and Jowls

For many patients, a facelift can be avoided by having Chin & Jowl Lipo using the VASER system. In fact, a lipo lift can be extremely rejuvenating. It is important to recognise that this is a small liposuction surgical procedure with a relatively quick recovery. One will have to wear a head strap for 3 days 24/7 and then for 12-16 hours a day for a 3 more weeks. During the first 3-4 weeks after surgery have some ultrasound and manual lymphatic drainage massages to help reduce fibrosis and promote skin retraction. There are a few risks associated with lipo to the chin & neck.

If you follow all the instructions above for VASER Chin & Neck Lipo, you could achieve results like these:

What are the benefits of foam compression after liposuction?

4D Female Padded VestIn the UK there is a wide variation in the level of aftercare following liposuction, ranging from simple compression strapping for a couple of weeks, to 12 weeks of compression suits with foam padding as well, together with regular manual lymphatic drainage sessions.

4D Male Padded Vest

I believe strongly in the benefits of well fitted compression suits for at least 3 weeks 24/7, then for 3 week 12 hours a day for regular VASER Lipo. After more sculpting procedures such as VASER 4D, I would add in extra foam padding as well as increasing the during of compression suits to 8 weeks instead of 6.

The whole aim of liposuction aftercare is to reduce swelling and therefore pain, and also improve the final cosmetic result. Foam padding significantly reduces pain and is very useful if a lot of swelling is anticipated, or, the compression garments cause creases in the skin.

Patients aren't really pleased about it when I instruct foam padding but, it is in their interests and they appreciate it after a couple of days, especially when they see the improved results.

I tend to advise foam padding for the whole torso with all Vaser 4D procedures. I also advise foam padded belts for treating lower abdomens and flanks. But at Riverbanks we have various sizes of padding to fit the area we wish to provide additional compression to.

What is Medcontour?

Medcontour uses ultrasound energy similar to VASER Lipo but instead of passing probe into the body, underneath the skin, with Medcontour, the probe is rolled over the skin allowing the ultrasonic energy to pass through the skin into the fat cells. The fat is then disrupted and massaged away using the specific lymph node activation which is part of the Medcontour System.

What is VASERSHAPE?

When Medcontour was first introduced into the UK it was given the name Vasershape. However, many people confused this with VASER Lipo or VASER 4D which are surgical procedures. In Europe and the rest of the world, Medcontour is extremely successful, with millions of treatments being successfully carried out.

What sort of results can I get with Medcontour?

Medcontour can deliver results which are similar to liposuction in some patients. Together with a sensible lifestyle results are very encouraging and our patients are amazed at how much they lose. Loko at these results:


This is what one of our patients said about her treatments:

"After nearly completing a course of Vasershape, prior to my holiday I am delighted with the results!! Not only have I gone down a dress size, the weekly treatments have kept me focused on sticking to diet and exercise programme." Helen C, Harpenden

VASER Mid Def swelling

VASER Mid Def is a term used by some clinics to describe an advanced form of liposuction which creates an athletic looking abdomen but without the appearance of your six pack.

Because there will be some work in the superficial layer of fat, it is advisable to have ~10 sessions of VASER AFTERCARE to minimise any swelling following the surgery. The aftercare will also help prevent any complications and smoothen results.

At Riverbanks as long as our patients sign up to our aftercare programme they will all get a VASER MID DEF procedure at the same price as a regular VASER lipo procedure.

Liposuction to the arms

Bloodless fat collected using VASER
VASER'd fat
VASER Liposelection is a great option for reducing the size of the upper arms without the need for more extensive surgery. The VASER system is very selective at treating fat and reducing damage to surrounding tissues. Clinical studies have shown that VASER causes less blood loss compared to standard liposuction. The image on the left shows the emulsified fat collected from the patient below, showing virtually no blood loss.

For those women who are concerned about the size of their upper arms, we understand that you may choose clothes that hide your arms and that you long to wear sleeveless tops in the summer. You may have only thought that Brachioplasty was necessary which involves a long scar along the length of your upper arm. Well for most sufferers of these 'bingo wings', VASER Lipo is a great treatment choice.

There are only a couple of tiny scars (about 4-5mm across) and you won't feel a thing as the surgery will be performed with some local anaesthetic and mild sedation. Afterwards you will need to wear a compression sleeve on each arm for about 4-6 weeks and we recommend manual lymphatic drainage at least 2-3 times a week during that time to optimise your recovery and outcome.

Then you can enjoy results like these:

Is VASER liposuction better than BODYTITE at skin tightening?

Newer technologies arriving on to the market are all trying to better the absolutely amazing results of VASER liposelection. However, to date, I have not seen any which come near. BodyTite, uses radiofrequency energy which cooks the fatty tissue. It is NOT selective to fat and can burn other body tissues such as skin and muscle. Even the most experienced plastic surgeons who perform many liposuction procedures have reported burns with the Bodytite.

Bodytite is being heavily marketed as being the best treatment for tissue shrinkage after liposuction. However, it must be said that if there is excess skin before surgery, then liposuction may well not be the most appropriate surgery and that an abdominoplasty ('tummy tuck') may be more suitable.

For many patients, a tummy tuck is too big a surgery for them and they prefer a less surgical approach with smaller scars and just an improvement in their bulge. If I consult with a patient who has some relaxed skin due to previous pregnancies or weight loss I usually advise them that a tummy tuck is more suitable for them. However, some really want to try a less drastic option first and if they can accept that after the VASER there will be fat reduction and some skin retraction but not as good as with a tummy tuck, then I will agree to perform the surgery.

Because the VASER system protects the tissue architecture, the scaffolding of the skin  remains largely intact. As a result it shrinks back more evenly and even to this day I am amazed by the amount of tissue retraction I can get with VASER, especially using the 4D Sculpt techniques.

After VASER














In the above examples, the lady was recommended to have abdominoplasty with VASER 4D Sculpt to create a beach perfect body. She chose to try regular VASER Lipo first as she wanted to see what sort of results she could get without the need for a long scar. You can see that at her 4 week review she has great skin retraction. The creases are from the compression vests and garments she has to wear for 8 weeks.

Whats the difference between Smart Lipo and VASER 4D Sculpt?

This is a very common phrase searched on the internet and I will try to explain it.

SmartLipo (or laser assisted liposuction)

  • Laser technology
  • Heats ALL tissues with most of the energy being absorbed by blood.
  • KILLS fat cells so not able to perform fat transfer
  • Not specific to fat
  • Can overheat connective tissue (skin) and cause burns or contracted skin
  • Long operation times
  • Incision points are about 2 mm
  • Cannot perform high definition liposculpture as will burn the skin
VASER (or ultrasound assisted liposelection)
  • Ultrasound energy
  • Selective for fat tissue
  • Protects skin, nervesm blood vessels and muscle
  • Burns are extremely rare
  • Incision points are about 4 mm
  • Can perform high definition liposculpture as protective to skin
  • Fat cells stay ALIVE so can perform fat transfer
The laser technology of SMARTLIPO is quite destructive and kills tissues. VASER does not kill tissue and that is why there is less risk of damage. Clinical studies have shown that there is 70% less blood loss with VASER compared to liposuction. VASER protects tissues and so that is why it is possible to perform highly selective liposculpture using VASER 4D Sculpt techniques. Liposculpting techniques often require the surgeon to work immediately beneath the skin (superficial fat) and lasers will burn the skin at this level.

Do you want a treatment which is destructive or one that protects your body?

You choose!

Can I have Vaser 4D Sculpt if I've had liposuction before?

Many of our Vaser 4D Sculpt patients have had liposuction before but now want to benefit from the sculpting effects of this new technique. Patients who have had a liposuction before will be referred to as 'secondary patients'. They often are not aware that their previous liposuction will make any future procedures much more challenging with greater risks and more unpredictable results. So during a detailed consultation with me, I always explain the following points:


  • The previous liposuction will have caused fibrosis (scar tissue) beneath the skin and sometimes this is quite dense. Dense fibrosis raises the risks of perforation and uneven results because more force is required to pass the instruments through the tissues. However, the Vaser 2.0 Lipo system, delivers ultrasound energy much more efficiently and this copes very well with fibrotic tissues.
  • When trying to create a six-pack or High Definition Liposculpture, the lines may not be as obvious during the surgery due to the fibrosis. In a patient who has not had lipo before, the sculpting is more obvious because only fat is sculpted. However, in a lipo (secondary) patient, the sculpting is done in both fibrotic and fatty layers and because the fibrotic layers are more stiff, they do not necessarily reveal their new shape straight away.
  • There will be much more inflammation and swelling in secondary cases because there will be generally more trauma and blood loss when compared to first timers. As such, more aftercare sessions are generally required over a longer time and results may take much longer to develop (even up to a year). The strength of the definition achieved is much more unpredictable due to the prolonged, although patients will be slimmer and there will be a hint of definition in the worst case scenario.

THE FIRST VASER 2.0 LIPO SYSTEM ARRIVES IN EUROPE

We've had 9 months experience now with the Vaser 2.0 Lipo system at Riverbanks and we absolutely LOVE it because it allows us to treat more difficult cases such as patients who've had liposuction before, correct deformities from previous liposuction, perform vaser 4D sculpting and also harvest and transfer fat to other areas of the body such as the hands, decollete, buttocks and scars because the stem cells in the fat are preserved.

Here's Vaser's official press release about this news:

How does Vaser Lipo work?

Vaser Lipo is a 3rd generation ultrasound device used to EMULSIFY fat before removing it from the body with relatively gentle liposuction. How is this possible? Well, the best way to explain it is to describe how traditional Suction-Assisted-Liposuction (SAL) works first.

With SAL, fluid is injected into the fatty tissue in order to minimise blood loss and also soften some of the fat. The fat cells are present in small globules of fat, a bit like seeds in a pomegranate and are held in place by collagen scaffolding, much like the pith in a pomegranate. These globules are STILL ATTACHED to the body when SAL is commenced. So it is necessary to use a relatively high powered suction to detach the fat from the body and as a result  there tends to be a higher amount of collateral damage, i.e. damage to the other structures such as blood vessels, nerves and also the collagen scaffolding. This is why there is a higher amount of blood loss with SAL when compare to VASER, and also why recovery is often slower.

Fat structure


Fat before treatment
VASER Lipo, starts off in a similar fashion to SAL, in that the fat is first injected with anaesthetic fluid in order to minimise blood loss, provide pain relief and also soften the fat. BUT, before suction is performed, the Vaser probe is inserted into the body and it emits ultrasonic waves into the fat to shake the fat globules off the body, breaking them up in to smaller groups of VIABLE fat cells, which look like a liquid. The energy from the Vaser probes primarily effects just the fat cells and so the surrounding tissues such as nerves, blood vessels and skin are left largely undamaged. Then the special suction tubes valled VENT-X Cannulae are used which have no sharp edges, and together with LOW POWER SUCTION, the fatty liquid is removed. The Vent-X Cannulae and low power suction cause hardly any collateral damage and so the body is less traumatised and hence recovery is quicker.

Male Breast Reduction with Vaser 4D Sculpt

All of our vaser patients during 2011 requested to have their chests reduced in size with our Vaser 2.0 Lipo system. This was often in combination with treating other areas such as Vaser 4D, but for many reducing the size of their breasts was their primary concern.

Some of our men needed only sculpting while others required significant debulking of fatty breast tissue with some gland excision. The exact nature of your surgery will be discussed during your consultation with your doctor.

Vaser 4D allows the surgeon not only to debulk your chest and reduce it size but to also reshape your chest providing a more athletic shape. Athletic chests often have straighter lower sides and a straight edge towards the armpit. More feminine chests are rounded and fuller in the lower half of the breast. If one works out, the pectoral muscle will bulk up in the upper half of the breast rather than the lower half. It are these fine details which will be in the surgeons mind when he reshapes your breast during a Vaser 4D Sculpting procedure. In order to bulk up the pectoral muscles, fat may be moved from one part of your body to the pecs with Fat Transfer. After all, who has six pack abs without defined pecs?

For more information about Vaser 4D Sculpt or Male Breast Reduction surgery at
Riverbanks, it is best to book an appointment with one of our surgeons. Call 01582 762 877 now for consultations in Harley Street or Harpenden.

Riverbanks & Vaser 4D featured on MTV

When we were asked to feature on an MTV documentary discussing the various options available to a young girl who is not happy in her own body, we were very concerned that the right message would be portrayed to her and the show's target audience. Liposuction is NOT a treatment for weight loss and should not be considered as a first option for any form of body contouring. However, for those who have honestly tried their best with diet & exercise and still find it difficult to shift those unwanted bulges, or show off their six packs, Vaser 4D Sculpting is a good, if not extreme option.
Sophie Kasaei at Riverbanks Clinic

Sophie Kasaei, star of MTV's Geordie Shores, created the documentary 'Get Thin or Die Tryin' especially for MTV in which she went on a journey to try and decided if liposuction was the right option for her. She spoke to her friends, people who have had liposuction with good results and also to one lady who had suffered horrific complications from a laser assisted liposuction. When Sophie visited Riverbanks, she met with myself, Dr Ravi Jain and my colleague Dr Alfredo Hoyos. We explained to her in the ins and outs of Vaser Liposuction and Vaser 4D Sculpting (not all of which were included in the final edit).

Sophie even got the chance to speak to one of our male patients who was about to have his 4D Sculpting procedure at the clinic. We dressed Sophie up in our brand new Riverbanks scrubs, and invited her into the operating room and watched Dr Jain carve six pack abs into the patient using the latest Vaser 4D Sculpting techniques with Dr Hoyos commentating.

I think Sophie (and the camera crew) did very well not to pass out as the procedure can be quite gory to the unaccustomed! Sophie gave a frank and honest overview of the surgery and we found her conclusions absolutely spot on. Sophie made the right decision for her. If she really wants the body she is after, then we would advise her to invest in a personal fitness & nutrition trainer for at least 6 months. If after that she wants an extra boost, then Vaser 4D maybe a good option.

Are the results from Vaser 4D permanent?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I hear during my new patient clinics both in London and at my flagship clinic just outside Harpenden. Essentially, the effects of the treatment are permanent but in order to make them look natural, you stil have to make adjustments to your lifestyle. Let me explain.

Vaser 4D Sculpting uses highly advanced ultrasound-assisted-liposuction techniques to create an athletically shaped body. A large percentage of the body fat which sits just beneath the skin, is removed and if necessary transferred to other parts of the body to enhance the natural curves (eg. pectoral muscles and buttocks).

In order to enhance the appearance of certain muscle groups (such as the rectus abdominus or serratus anteriors, also known as the six pack and boxers' muscles respectively), I leave a small amount of fat over the muscles creating a bulkier appearance to the muscles.

This sculpting is PERMANENT. The fat that is left behind will expand or shrink depending on your overall nutritional status, just like any other fat. If one does put on more fat after the surgery then this tends to be distributed to areas of the body where fat cells are. Prior to surgery, this would be around your torso. However, as most of the fat cells have been permanently removed now, the fat gets stored elsewhere, such as the buttocks, thighs, face and worst of all, INTERNALLY, around your organs, such as the heart, liver and pancreas. So if one does put on a lot of visceral fat following Vaser Hi Def surgery, you may end up looking like a certain celebrity who appeared on a recent Celebrity Big Brother.

Visceral Fat
Internal fat (also know as visceral fat) is not good for you at all. It increases your risk of various life threatening diseases such as heart disease and cancers. So it is absolutely imperative that following ANY liposuction procedure, you maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet which maximises fat burning.

Many patients who I see at my clinic for lipo struggle with seeing any physical changes from their exercise and that is primarily because their diets are all wrong for their metabolism. Many people struggle to cope with a diet relatively free from bread, pasta, rice, potato and alcohol for at least 6 days of every week. However, this is what is required in many people in order to lose fat while exercising. My personal trainer James Lenaghan has coached me through my dietary & work out changes to maximise the results of my surgery as shown below:

So in summary, Vaser 4D can give you the body of your dreams. It will get you 90% of the way to achieving a natural looking athletic shape. You need to modify your diet and exercise, and then you will get 100% of the way much more quickly and with less drastic lifestyle changes than if you were to do this without surgery.

Post-Op Aftercare following Vaser 4D Sculpt

If you've researched Vaser Lipo treatments you may have come across some people mentioning the need for after care massages. To be honest, good lymphatic drainage is essential after all forms of lipo and most lymphoedema massage therapists are experienced in treating patients following cosmetic surgery. We have found those listed on MLD UK to be very good at treating our patients who travel from long distances for their regular vaser lipo.

The post-op care following Vaser 4D Sculpt though is much more specialised as it is designed to carefully nuture back the lymphatic system to full functionality following the precise body sculpting which has been carried out during the surgery. The programme has been personally designed by Colombian plastic surgeon, Dr Hoyos, the inventor of Hi def & 4D Sculpt.

Essentially the CARE protocol uses ultrasound therapy, manual lymphatic drainage and pressuretherapy to maximise your results and comfort. We recommend 20 sessions with a minimum of 10 sessions over 2 weeks.

Here is a video of one of Dr Jain's own post op sessions following his surgery: (This video does show patient discomfort and some blood)


Dr Jain is adamant that the VASER aftercare is critical to getting outstanding results and minimising unexpected complications following your surgery. So much so that he invested in his two therapists by sending them to Dr Hoyos's clinic in Colombia to receive the most intensive and up to date training available. Both of our therapists are the ONLY ones in the UK to be trained at Dr Hoyos' clinic in Bogota. By bringing these skills back to Riverbanks, we believe we have the most qualified service for bot surgical and post op care for Vaser 4D Sculpting in the UK.

5 Reasons why it is important to wear compression garments after Vaser Lipo





Vaser Compression Garment
This is probably what people dread the most about any liposuction procedure as they fear the discomfort and constant reminder that they have had surgery. However, if high quality garments are used, it does not need to be such an ordeal as good garments are actually quite supportive and comfortable. Below are 5 reasons why it is such an important step in your care plan:

1. Following liposuction, a potential space has been created in the layers between your skin and your muscles as most of the fat has been removed. This space needs to be constantly compressed in the first few weeks post surgery, in order to prevent collections of fluids such as blood (which could cause a haematoma), inflammatory fluid (which could cause a seroma) or infection.

2. On top of that, good compression garments assists the body's natural lymphatic system, flush away any excess inflammatory fluids from the would sites.

3. The compression ensures that the skin wound edges are closed and so improves the appearance of the scars.

4. The compression helps the skin 'stick' back down to the deeper layers, enhancing the skin retraction and final appearance of your new body.

5. The garments actually make you look slimmer!

What about the compression padding?

4D Vest by Marena
For more extensive liposuction cases such as after treating abdomens or following Vaser Hi Def/4D Sculpt, your surgeon may recommend the addition of a compression foam padding vest to wear UNDER your compression garment for 4 weeks. This is to apply even, consistent pressure around your torso which helps prevent complications such as seroma and also enhances the contour of your new body.

It is a good idea to order at least 2 complete sets of compression hosiery and padding and maybe 3 sets. You may also need a second stage set to use after 3 weeks when most of your swelling has reduced and so your initial garments become too loose.

What are the common complaints with compression garments?

a) It needs 2 people to get them on in the first few days.
b) It can be so tight I can't breathe properly (this is too tight and you should get a bigger size)
c) They have shrunk after washing - only hand wash in cool water and do NOT tumble dry!
d) Its so hot!
e) between weeks 3-6, your skin starts to get its sensation back and this lends itself to experience intense itching! This is very frustrating, but its all a good sign that you are healing well!

So whats a typical timetable for wearing compression garments?

Vaser Lipo - wear the garments for 3 weeks 24/7, then another 3 weeks 12/7
Vaser Hi Def / 4D Sculpt - wear the garments with the foam vest 24/7 for 4 weeks, then just the garments 24/7 for another 4 weeks.

Where can I get compression garments from?
We have used Marena, Macom & Holistic Garments following Vaser. Following his very own 4D Sculpt procedure, Dr Jain used garments from Marena.

How much time off work will I need after Vaser?




Typically after Vaser Liposelection the recovery is much quicker than with traditional liposuction, when like for like areas are treated. Most patients need about the first 2 days following their surgery off work as these are the days when there is the most drainage. After the 2nd day, the wounds tend to close up and the dressings can be discarded, leaving just the compression garments only needing to be worn.

Following a patient survey at Riverbanks Clinic, we identified that out of all the patients that had their Vaser on a Thursday, nearly 100% of them returned to work on the following Monday. By the Monday, only a few were still taking paracetamol as their painkiller, while the majority didn't need painkillers.

1. Whats the difference between Vaser Lipo & Vaser Hi Def?

Vaser Liposelection

Vaser Lipo uses an ultrasonic VASER probe to emulsify the mid and deep layers of fat around the body. Excellent debulking and enhancement of curves is possible in the hands of a skilled VASER surgeon, and the patient can realistically expect inch reduction with smooth results. Most patients are back at work within 2-4 days depending on how extensive their procedure was. Most get by on over the counter analgesics such as paracetamol or solpodeine.

Vaser Liposelection is the choice of almost 99% of Vaser patients as excellent results can be achieved with minimal fuss and downtime.

Vaser Lipo can be used to treat the following areas:
  • Double chins
  • Bingo wings
  • Man boobs
  • Tummies
  • Love handles
  • Saddle bags
  • Knees
  • Back Fat
  • Bra Fat
  • Calves
Vaser Hi Def - High Definition Liposculpture

This is a highly advanced technique devised by Colombian plastic surgeon Dr Alfredo Hoyos, benefiting from the delicate effect of the Vaser system. Vaser Hi Def (VHD) uses the vaser probes to removethe deep, mid and superficial layers of fat, particularly around the muscle groups in order to reveal an atheletic, sculpted look.

It is important to realise that VASER is the only technique that allows surgeons to perform liposculpture in the superficial layers of fat, with minimal risks of tissue breakdown, seromas and scarring, as when other tools are used. Combined with effective aftercare massages, VHD can offer safe and amazing results. It really can give you a six pack in just a few hours.

The recovery is longer than with standard VASER Lipo, due to the extra swelling and discomfort one gets when treating the superficial layers. However, the results are so good, many people feel it is worth the 1-2 weeks off work (or at least working from home after week 1).



  Vaser Hi Def can be performed in both men and women to reveal highly defined musculature in the following areas:Abdomen
  • Breasts
  • Sides of torso
  • Lower back
  • Upper arms
  • Male Chest
  • Thighs
  • Calves
