About the clinic

Vaser liposuction at Somchai Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, is a body contouring procedure that uses ultrasound energy to melt fat. Prices typically run from $300 for a double chin treatment to around $600 for larger areas like the abdomen or thighs. The clinic treats over 10,000 patients annually and uses techniques designed for faster recovery and less bruising.

Advanced Vaser Liposuction Method

Somchai Clinic uses the Vaser technique for fat reduction. This method employs ultrasound heat to break down fat cells before they are removed. This process makes it easier to target dense fat and results in less blood loss compared to older methods. The clinic treats several areas, including:

  • Abdomen and waist for torso contouring
  • Inner and outer thighs to reshape the legs
  • Arms and back for a leaner appearance
  • Double chin to define the jawline

Expertise at Somchai Clinic

The clinic was founded in 2001 by Dr. Somchai Chiewcharnvej and Dr. Siriporn Chiewcharnvej. Both founders are aesthetic surgeons with specialized training in dermatology and cosmetic surgery. Dr. Somchai Chiewcharnvej completed his training at Mahidol University, while Dr. Siriporn Chiewcharnvej has participated in international forums in Seoul. They lead a team that manages two branches in Bangkok, including a 24-hour facility in Huai Khwang.

Procedure and Recovery Details

The surgery usually takes about 2 hours to complete. Because it is an outpatient procedure, you do not need to stay overnight. After the fat removal, you will rest for about 1 hour for observation before going home. Most patients return to their jobs within a few days. Full daily activities usually resume within 2 weeks. To help the skin heal smoothly, you must wear a compression garment for 1 to 2 months as directed by Dr. Somchai Chiewcharnvej or Dr. Siriporn Chiewcharnvej.

Estimated Costs for Fat Reduction

Prices at the clinic are based on the specific body area being treated. These options include a free initial consultation to discuss your goals.

  • Double chin treatment may cost around $300
  • Arm and back reduction is around $500
  • Abdomen and waist contouring typically runs $600
  • Inner and outer thigh treatment is around $600

While this method removes fat cells permanently, maintaining a healthy diet is necessary to keep your results. To learn more about body contouring in Bangkok, you can leave a request on Bookimed.

The staff deserves a special mention for being so supportive

One of my biggest worries was the potential for hidden costs, but I was relieved to find there were no additional expenses on top of what the clinic quoted. The staff deserves a special mention for being so supportive. They've stayed in touch and have been very easy to reach, which is reassuring during recovery from my traditional liposuction on two areas. What stood out about my surgeon was how carefully he marked the areas before we went into the operating room. My recovery is going about as expected so far. The whole process was handled professionally.
