VASER Liposuction & Body Contouring

VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction and Hi-Definition 4D body sculpting performed by Dr Colin Tham — one of Singapore's pioneer VASER surgeons since 2007. Targets stubborn fat deposits with precision while preserving surrounding tissue.

Colin Tham Plastic Surgery offers one of Singapore's most established VASER liposuction programmes, led by Dr Colin Tham who was among the first two surgeons to introduce VASER High Definition Liposculpture to Singapore in 2007. VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) uses ultrasound energy to selectively liquefy fat cells before removal, resulting in smoother contours, less bruising, and faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction. The clinic's VASER offering spans four distinct techniques. VASER LipoSelection is the foundational procedure for overall fat reduction across areas including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and chin. VASER Hi-Definition 4D is an advanced sculpting technique that creates athletic-looking definition — revealing underlying musculature by selectively removing fat around muscle groups to produce a toned, sculpted appearance. VASERsmooth specifically targets cellulite by disrupting the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause the characteristic dimpled texture, delivering smoother skin surface in addition to fat reduction. All VASER procedures at the clinic are performed by Dr Tham under general or local anaesthesia depending on the volume and area treated. A thorough pre-operative assessment is conducted to determine candidacy and set realistic expectations. Post-operative care includes compression garments and follow-up consultations to monitor healing and results. Recovery typically ranges from a few days for minor procedures to 2–4 weeks for extensive Hi-Definition sculpting. As a surgeon with over 20 years of experience, Dr Tham emphasises natural, proportionate outcomes rather than extreme or artificial-looking results.
