Body Jet liposuction in APEX Medical Center
About the clinic
Body Jet liposuction at APEX Medical Center in Bangkok, Thailand, uses a water jet to loosen fat before suction. The JCI- and AACI-accredited center offers this tissue-sparing method for targeted body contouring. Plastic surgeon Dr. Somboon Waiprib is board-certified by the Thai Board of Plastic Surgery and has over 15 years of experience.
How Body Jet liposuction works
A gentle stream of water loosens fat cells before they are removed with suction. The method aims to spare nearby tissue, which may mean less pain and bruising. Recovery is described as relatively fast, though each person’s experience can differ.
The procedure is intended for people near their ideal weight who want to shape specific areas. It is not designed for large-volume fat removal. Treatment areas may include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, arms, chin, or neck.
Some of the removed fat can be purified and injected into another area, such as the face or buttocks. This is called fat grafting. Whether fat can be reused depends on the individual treatment plan.
Surgery and recovery
Body Jet liposuction uses general anesthesia. Before surgery, patients receive dietary guidance and may need to adjust some medications.
Light activities may be possible within a few days. Regular exercise can usually resume after two to four weeks, based on the doctor’s advice.
After surgery, patients wear a compression garment and may receive advice about massage. Follow-up visits are part of aftercare. The clinic advises avoiding smoking and alcohol for at least one month.
APEX Medical Center holds JCI and American Accreditation Commission International accreditation. Its Ploenchit branch is 450 meters from a BTS station.

APEX Medical Center: more details about the clinic
APEX Medical Center is a private hospital system for aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand. It opened in 1992 and now runs over 54 branches nationwide. Its 26 physicians offer both surgical and non-surgical aesthetic programs. The center focuses on facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and wellness treatments for international patients.
Accreditations and Achievements
The facility is accredited by the American Accreditation Commission International (AACI) and the Joint Commission International (JCI). JCI accreditation means the hospital meets global safety and quality standards. The clinic also won "Asia's No.1 Aesthetic & Hospital Destination" at the ASIA TOP AWARDS.
Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine
Surgeons perform facial and body procedures under local sedation or general anesthesia. Open Rhinoplasty handles major structural corrections, while Closed Rhinoplasty suits less invasive adjustments. For breast augmentation, patients can choose silicone gel implants or natural fat transfer. Surgeons pick submuscular (under the muscle) or subglandular (over the muscle) placement based on the patient's anatomy.
For facial aging, several lifting and rejuvenation options are available:
- AccuTite facelift – a minimally invasive contouring method
- Double eyelid surgery
- Facial fat grafting – fat is harvested and reinjected
- Chin liposuction
For body sculpting, specialists offer Vaser liposuction. When combined with a tummy tuck, it treats 3 body areas at once. The surgeon first applies local anesthesia. Then a cannula is used to reach the fat layer and break up tissue.
Non-Surgical Face and Body Contouring
Non-invasive treatments tighten skin and reduce fat with no downtime. Ultherapy Prime uses ultrasound energy to tighten the SMAS layer (deep tissue) and boost collagen. Thermage FLX tightens skin with radiofrequency technology. For fat reduction, the clinic offers CoolSculpting Elite. This FDA-cleared cryolipolysis (fat freezing) system treats the abdomen, thighs, and chin.
Injectable programs for volume and hydration use several medical-grade brands:
- HArmonyCa – for collagen stimulation and lifting
- Profhilo – for deep skin hydration
- Nucleofill – for bio-restructuring and skin renewal
- Filler injections – for the forehead, temples, and tear troughs
Specialized Wellness and Hair Restoration
The clinic treats alopecia (hair loss) with Micro Boost technology. This method uses microneedling to make tiny punctures in the scalp. Specialists then infuse growth factor serums and essential nutrients to support thicker, stronger hair. Patients with scalp eczema or blood clotting disorders should avoid this procedure.
For breathing problems and sleep health, the clinic offers two main treatments:
- SnoreLase – a laser treatment that reduces snoring
- CPAP Therapy – a machine that provides continuous positive airway pressure
Hormone Therapy is available for menopause, andropause, and transgender patients who need hormone support. Patients can take daily oral medication, get injections every 1–4 weeks, or use transdermal patches.
Equipment and Safety Protocols
The surgical theater has 10K advanced medical imaging devices for precise procedure planning. Before surgery, the team reviews each patient's medical history, allergies, and past reactions to anesthesia. For skin contraction, the clinic uses J-Plasma (Renuvion). Linear Z HIFU technology provides non-surgical lifting.
International Patient Services
The center treats international patients and provides care information in English and Thai. Coordinators guide patients through recovery with specific aftercare instructions. After Ultherapy, for example, patients should avoid extreme heat for 48 hours. They should also skip high-chemical skincare for one week. The clinic schedules follow-up appointments to track recovery and manage any unexpected swelling or pain.
