I visited Dr. Joseph Ajaka at Cosmos Clinic after thoroughly researching their results. Despite knowing they were not plastic surgeons, I chose them because their extensive experience spoke volumes. In November 2022, after multiple email exchanges, I was booked for liposuction on my waist, abdomen, and back. Their expertise was evident when they thoughtfully pushed back on some of my initial requests, which only strengthened my trust in them. The procedure went smoothly, and the aftercare was exceptional. The nurses were fantastic and very responsive, ensuring I was well taken care of. Despite some weight gain since the procedure, the areas treated with VASER have maintained their results and have not reverted to their original size. I am planning to revisit Cosmos Clinic next year during my holiday in Sydney. Overall, my experience with Dr. Ajaka and Cosmos Clinic has been fantastic, and I highly recommend them.
I had my BBL by Dr Joseph Waelchli & Dr Joseph Ajaka in July 2021. I am over one year post op. I had Vaser lipo to my inner high, outer thigh, inner knees, bra strap, sacral flanks & chin. I have always had a booty so I was t really doing this for that purpose. I didn't have much of hip dip to begin with. My goal and the surgeons possible results was to give me a smooth contour so I look good In dresses and my silhouette transitions evenly with a nice S curve. Bc I was petite to begin with, they didn't have too much fat to transfer however I do believe they put about 700 cc on each side. I asked he ft be injected into the upper half of my booty. I had cellulite always as my butt was big so this didn't phase me. I hoped it would go away but was told it's a different issue and BBL doesn't help w cellulite. It did however improve a little I my booty. The pictures speak for themselves. Overall I am happy with my results. The surgeons were fantastic. Excellent service, I felt at ease. I changed my mind so many times about whether I wanted stomach lipo etc and it wasn't a Problem as last minute I decided person choice not to do abdomen. Overall I spent 24K approx. I was 57 kg, I put on a few kg for the fat transfer and went up to 60kg. I recommend to do this op in winter as he fajas can get hot. Laying on ur stomach was he most uncomfortable part of this recovery. I went to all my post op massages. I also paid for additional massages to a woman named Remy in Rhodes, Sydney who massages post op patients approx 5 times after my Cosmos package massages were used up. FYI I am a mother of one 8 yer old. Cesarean birth, 40 years old, 161cm, 58kg. I also decided to go back and get my abdomen lipoed as I have put on weight a year later. My appt is next week for the consult. Any questions pls dm. I know Cosmos has had some negative media, but from my exp, I can't complain. Dr Waechli is my fav and such a genuine, talented, concerned warm hearted surgeon. Updated on 12 Sep 2022:
I had a BBL + tumescent liposuction on my abdomen, flanks and thighs, and then fat transfer to my buttocks. Overall, I am really really happy with the outcome. Here is my story: I was looking for a clinic that could give me nice, full, round buttocks. I researched everywhere across the world, but when I saw Cosmos Clinic results, I knew this is the kind of result I wanted. So I flew to Australia and had my consultation. Dr. Fascetti and Dr. Ajaka where the doctors preforming my procedure. Throughout the whole process, from the day of my first consultation, to the surgery and follow-up, the doctors were present and attentive throughout. I had my initial consultation with Dr. Fascetti who explained everything I needed to know. All my questions were answered, and everything down to the receptionists and all the accompanying staff were extremely nice, friendly and helpful. BBL is considered a risky surgery so I wanted to go to a clinic where I felt safe. I asked all the hard "what if" questions and the doctors had no problems answering them. Dr. Ajaka even gave me his personal phone number to text if anything arises. The environment felt safe and professional so once I felt ready, I went ahead with booking the surgery. On the day of the surgery, they were running a bit late. Then, Dr. Ajaka came to personally apologize and he went over what kind of results I wanted just before surgery, which made me feel great and like he was really interested in giving me the shape I wanted. I even showed him some inspiration pictures, and to my untrained eye, I didn't even know I needed slight liposuction on my outer thighs to achieve that shape. It is a very small area, but it makes a huge difference in forming the silhouette. Dr. Ajaka apologized for me having to wait, and offered to do that little area for free. I was unsure as it was a last minute decision, but I decided to trust him and boy I'm glad I did - it turned out looking amazing. More on that later. I then went in for surgery and was nervous about the twilight anaesthetic, because I thought I might be awake. However, it was just like regular general anaesthetic that I had in my prior surgeries - I immediately fell asleep and woke up after surgery. I did not feel any pain whatsoever, and just waited to get discharged. Then I believe a nurse walked me to the pharmacy and helped me pick up my prescription. After that, I was given all the instructions on a pamphlet which was really helpful as I could always refer back to it, and I was given the go-ahead to go home. I was actually feeling so normal that I decided to take the public transit home, from Double Bay to Darling Harbour. Looking back, that was a bit of a ridiculous decision but I felt completely fine so I figured why not. When I got home, I had groceries stacked up for 2 weeks so I wouldn't have to carry anything heavy. I unfortunately had no one to help with my recovery, and the doctors insisted that I hire a nurse or at least have a friend check up on me, but unfortunately I was in the country all by myself so I had to make it work on my own. Looking back, recovery would probably be much easier with someone helping me, but I since I was super determined to do this surgery, I somehow managed by myself. I was given different kinds of medications, however I believe I never used the one for nausea - I never felt sick or like throwing up. For pain, I believe I took the medication preventatively but there was no real pain I was going through, my body was just sore and felt exhausted because it was a big procedure, but I was never in any particular pain. My abdomen and flanks just felt somewhat tender and I had restricted movement because of the faja, but I never once developed any pain. I managed to change my wrappings and maintain my faja all by myself, I recommend getting several fajas and wraps so you can have the convenience of not having to wash and dry it repeatedly. The only time I remember any pain is when I went for the post-liposuction lymphatic drainage massages at the clinic. However, it is a good pain - I always made sure to ask the nurse to be extra tough and really do a deep massage because it minimizes the risk of fat fibrosis (when the fat hardens as a complication after surgery). Anyways, the massages were great and I could always ask anything at the reception, which was great since in that way I was able to do many check-ups during my healing period. I actually developed a few complications which were all dealt with amazingly in my opinion. First of all, I had a cellulite dimple on one buttock, which I thought was asymmetrical. I messaged Dr. Ajaka and he assured me that this level of imperfection is normal and that it would even out with time, which it absolutely did, now it is barely noticeable. Then, since I was wearing the faja 24/7, it was pressing really hard against my leg near my groin area and I developed a really nasty rash. I panicked and texted Dr. Ajaka, he asked to send a picture. I did and he prescribed me a cream which made it go away in a week! He was always super attentive and replied to texts promptly, and I always felt taken care of. Then, a few days into my recovery, I began feeling lightheaded and I knew this wasn't normal - never ignore what your body is telling you! So I texted Dr. Ajaka and he took my complaint seriously immediately - he said I should come down to clinic for a check-up. I got a cab and almost fainted in the back seat since I was really light headed. Once again, once I got there the staff at the clinic were wonderful, and Dr. Ajaka instructed the nurse to take my blood. They did that and figured out I was really dehydrated. They immediately put me on an IV drip to boost my electrolytes and I immediately felt back to my normal self. They did this free of charge and in my experience, this constitutes top notch post-operative care. After this I had no further complications and I recovered nicely. Now, in terms of the aesthetics of the procedure, the shape of my bum is exactly how I wanted. In the United States, the BBLs are somewhat lackluster in my opinion, they don't really deliver the same WOW effect as for example the Cosmos Clinic results. So I truly believe that out of everywhere in the world, this was the best place to do it at. So to break everything down - I had liposuction on my lower tummy, which made it look really nice and flat. Worlds different from what it was before. Then I had lipo on my flanks, which streamlined my waist beautifully and gave me a whole new silhouette. And then the buttock shape came out exactly how I wanted and I feel like the surgeons really have to have an artistic mastery of this procedure to be able to achieve such a nice result. One thing I will say is I was religious about not sitting on my bum for 6 whole weeks! The clinic says 2 weeks is enough but I was not gonna take any chances with my new bum, I loved the shape and wanted it to stay that way. It was a big commitment but I think that is definitely crucial if you want most of your transferred fat to survive. Now, 2 and a half years later, the shape is still the exact same. I dropped some weight so my butt is slightly smaller now, but the round bubbly shape has been well maintained and i'm still extremely happy with my results. It gave me a whole new confidence and it was definitely the right choice for me. Some things to keep in mind is also that you should be realistic about your results because small things that you don't expect can happen and can be unpredictable, so it's important to remember that perfection is impossible. For example I got a little TINY bit of asymmetry with my flanks (one side retained a bit more fat), and a tiny area where my thigh was liposuctioned developed a little tiny shadow/crease on one of my legs. However, these are minute details that only I notice, and I've never had anyone point it out or comment on it. The only reason why I'm mentioning this is to give a realistic insight into what you can expect. I am 10/10 extremely happy with my results and would do it again in a heartbeat. The before and after difference is crazy, it's like night and day, and exactly what I wanted. So just make sure you know what you want, and if you're looking for that amazing bubbly lifted full buttock look, this place is definitely among the best in the world to do this procedure. The doctor's eye for proportions is in my opinion unmatched. Thank you once again Dr. Ajaka & Dr. Fascetti and all the Cosmos staff and wonderful nurses for this life-changing experience! :)
Liposuction was one of the best investments I did. It gave me the extra push I needed after spending so many days working out in the gym. The team was so nice and the nurses attended to my every needs. Thank you Cosmos team!
I had liposuction on my arms, lower back and things after feeling self conscious for years. I was seriously impressed with dr Joseph Ajaka. He completely transformed me. I'm SO happy! I can't thank you enough
My body has never looked this good before and the confidence I gained from liposuction has been massive! All the clothes that I was too shy to wear before is now a staple in my wardrobe, all thanks to Dr Ajaka!
The recovery with Cosmos has got to be one of the smoothest tat I have experienced! Made me feel as comfortable as possible during my first filler session! And my body has never looked this good before. Thank you!
The consultation that I had with the doctors was very informative. It was my first time coming to the clinic, and everyone was so lovely! Lipo has got to be one of the best decisions I made, and doing it with Cosmos has lessened the stress. I'm very happy with my results!!!
I have complete confidence in Dr Ajaka and his Sydney staff, they are all so nice to deal with and very knowledgeable. Don't waste time with other doctors, go straight to the best. I wish you all the best success Dr Ajaka and Cosmos team!
Cosmos Clinic has the best staff, hands down! It was my first time to get any procedure done, and all of them were so supportive! Dr Ajaka had been in every follow up I had with the clinic. He really does make sure that everything is to your liking and always provides the best care!
From the photos it looks like you have good skin and the vaser liposuction is a great option for you. Vaser liposuction will not only remove your fat but also tighten the skin by delivering heat to the colleges fibres allowing the skin to contract.
If you are having 4 areas of vaser liposuction then I would say you would need 4-7 days off work. Everyone's pain threshold is different but I think having the procedure done on a Saturday and returning to work on a Monday is unlikely. I hope this helps.
You can have another areas treated after as soon as 4 days when all the anaesthetic drugs have worn off As long as you don't put pressure on the area where the fat transfer has been done and there is no Sign of infection . However I tend to wait two weeks after fat transfer before performing more liposuction. If you are considering more fat into the hips then wait 3months. Vaser liposuction is best form of liposuction in my opinion.
vaser high definition is great in experienced hands. If the surgeon does not follow the natural anatomy of the patient or the patient doesn't have strong muscle core or the patient has lose skin then the results can look drawn on. You need to be the right candidate and you need an experienced surgeon.
Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy to create heat energy which liquefies fat and helps tighten the skin. The liquified fat is makes it easier to suck the fat cells out. Laser liposuction uses light energy to create heat but the amount of heat generated is small compared to vaser. The vaser probe omits heat from the side and tip of the probe while the laser liposuction only emits heat from the tip. This means that vaser liposuction is much better at liquefying fat particularly for large areas of Liposuction. In my office I have all the liposuction machines - 4 vaser machines, a power assisted machine, the body jet and the bodytite but I just use the vaser.
