How Does Vaser Liposuction Work?

Despite a balanced lifestyle and regular exercise, we often discover pockets and areas filled with fat which are difficult to eliminate. While this is completely normal and safe some people seek to eliminate the fat pockets with cosmetic surgeryin favor of a slimmer and well-defined silhouette.

Vaser Liposuction can assist you to get there, by enhancing your natural beauty and creating a more defined and toned body.

Vaser Liposuction is also known as Liposculpture is a sophisticated body contouring cosmetic procedure which employs a specific method of removing fat to contour and shape your body. Based on the level of sculpting desired, the surgeon will perform the procedure in a high definition, middle definition, or regular Vaser Liposuction.

What is the process?

Vaser Liposuction is a minimally invasive ultra-modern ultrasound technology that can precisely target and eliminate excess fat.

Utilizing the energy generated by ultrasound and the heat generated by the vaser probe the surgeon can strategically melt the fat prior to taking it out, and achieves superior outcomes than traditional liposuction in which the fat isn’t melting.

This is the reason why Vaser Liposuction is regarded as superior to traditional liposuction.

Vaser Liposuction, also referred to as Ultrasonic Liposuction because of the ultrasonic energy used and technology used to it, is a cutting-edge, minimally-invasive procedure for removing fat. The energy of ultrasound targets unwanted fat while preserving vital tissues like nerves, connective tissue, blood vessels and Collagen to speed up healing. By eliminating both the deep and superficial fats that surround muscles, it increases the appearance of the toned muscles underneath. This results in a body that appears more defined and sculpted , giving an enviable, toned and sculpted appearance.

To get the most effective results, it is crucial that your surgeon is specifically trained in VASER Hi-Def Liposculpture or else you could receive an improved version of traditional Liposuction , but with no additional shaping.

Prior to Vaser Liposuction Surgery

At the beginning of your consultation, you will consult the Vaser Liposuction doctor to talk about your expectations and possible outcomes. In your appointment, you will be measured – you must be a size below 28 and measured to determine the custom-made garment you will need to be worn for your post-care program.

The day before your procedure , your surgeon will draw extremely detailed and precise marks on the treatment area(s) These are unique to your body and recreate your anatomy. The marks will be used to indicate where the shaping will take place. The patient will be comfortable and prepared for surgery.

In Vaser Liposuction Surgery

Vaser Lipo is a procedure that can be done using local anaesthetic and moderate sedation or under general anaesthetic. The method used to sedate will typically depend on the length of your procedure as well as the number of areas that need to be contoured. Your surgeon will be discussing this during your consultation.

The procedure of liposculpture involves a number of steps:

Saline solution

In the beginning, the treatment area(s) are covered with a tumescent solution. This aids in shrinking the blood vessels, thereby decreasing blood loss and the post-surgery bruising. It also helps to break down the fat tissue using the Vaser Ultrasound energy.

Ultrasonic energy

Small probes are used for transmitting an energy wave that breaks up and emulsifies the fatty tissue between muscle and skin. This process is unique and ensures that other vital tissues remain intact , resulting in quicker recovery times. This procedure is extremely targeted to the desired area , and permits your surgeon to eliminate the fat and then etch your contours to create a well-defined and toned physique.

Extraction

The fat that has been liquefied is removed with a tiny hollow cannula made of metal (via small, precise incisions that measure between 3 and 4 millimeters in diameter which means that scarring is not as severe) that is then placed and positioned through the region of the emulsified fat. The cannula is then used to gently remove the fat using suction technology , and is usually coupled with a massage technique. Your specialist-trained Vaser surgeon gently creates the desired contours from your muscle structure to create an energised and defined body.

The remaining fat is eliminated naturally by your body following surgery, resulting in the final outcome of a more fit body as you go through the recovery process.

Vaser Liposuction is the surgical elimination of excess fat in certain regions within the human body. The Vaser Liposculpture procedure is precise that it can be applied to areas which traditional Lipo can’t treat.

The most commonly used fat removal zones are:

Chest or bust
Lower and upper back
Stomach
Flanks and waist
Hips
Buttocks
Calves
Knees
Ankles
Chin/neck
Arms
The thighs’ inner and outer

Although the process of recovery will differ for each patient, Vaser Liposuction does involve more extensive post-operative care than traditional Liposuction. The more effort you put into your recovery, the more successful your results will be and the final result will not be apparent until about two or three months following your procedure. A proper aftercare program is a rigorous utilization of custom-designed body compression garments and post-procedure ultrasound as well as lymphatic massage, and the correct exercise and diet.

The areas you have treated should appear great and maintain their sculpted appearance for the duration of in the same body weight. If you increase your weight, you’ll typically gain weight in different areas than those which were treated.
Post-Operative Recovery

Incision site

There may be an occasional leakage of fluid from the areas of incision within the first day or two following your procedure. This is called the result of tumescent fluid, which is the result of the local anaesthetic. It could be blood-colored that is normal, so don’t be concerned but any sign of it must be brought to the attention of the doctor.

After 7 days of your procedure, based on the region treated the area will undergo an examination of the wound to determine the sutures that will gradually disintegrate. Be careful not to get the area of your incision damp as a humid warm environment can harbor bacteria and cause a wound infection.

Garment

When you return from the theatre, you will be wearing your custom-made compression garment in place. You must wear it continuously until you are told by your surgeon to take off the piece. Be aware that if you cease wearing the bespoke garment for liposuction prior to the time you receive your advice, that you are not experiencing optimal outcomes.

Bruising / Swelling

There will be some swelling, bruising and discomfort after the procedure. Some swelling could persist for a few months. It could also be that you feel you’ve lost your senses in the areas you’ve treated it’s normal and not an indication to be concerned about. When your nerves begin to regenerate, sensation and feeling should be restored to normal.

Discomfort

Following your surgery, there is a chance of mild discomfort that is easily managed with the prescribed medication and discomfort. It will only last for only a short time, with the majority of patients able to walk about comfortably within a day or two. However, be aware that you might require some help in the initial 24 to 48 hours after surgery. The doctor will prescribe pain medication to ease any discomfort, however, if you start to feel pain that is severe call us right away. We strongly suggest to not take any medication that contains aspirin for a week after surgery.
Short-Term Aftercare

Driving

For many insurance companies, your car insurance is not valid for 24 to 48 hours following the time you’ve had a general anaesthetic injected. Following this, we’d advise against driving for seven to ten days because you might find certain movements are limited as the swelling and brusing goes down.

Physical Activity

Vaser Liposuction procedure requires only a little downtime. This means that you are able to return to your normal routine within a few days after your procedure – dependent on the region that is that is treated. We recommend taking at minimum a week off from work so that you can recover completely. In the coming two or three weeks, your areas of treatment are likely to remain sensitive, and physical strenuous activities must be restricted. During this period, you will slowly return to activities like light lifting and sexual activity. Your surgeon will provide you with specific guidelines on the actions you are able to take on, depending on the area of your treatment during your appointment.

Garment

Following your procedure, you’ll have received an individualized Liposculpture compression suit which is an essential aspect of healing. The garment should be worn for a period of between four and six weeks, according to your physician, to help the healing process, decrease swelling and in the end, to ensure an ideal contour for the areas of treatment.
Long-Term aftercare

To get the best results, we suggest that your post-operative care includes a specialized program that includes manual lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage. We will work closely together with an MLD specialist should you decide to incorporate it into your healing process.

MLD Massage

To get the best results, we suggest taking a course of manual lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage which aids in speeding up the healing process, reduces the swelling and accumulation of fluid within the body, and assists to eliminate any remaining toxic substances.

The MLD massage method can be utilized following Vaser Liposuction in as little as 48 hours following the procedure to accelerate your recovery. It is a combination of ultrasound therapy that is followed by a manual massage. By manipulating the lymphatic system at the Dermal-Epidermal Junction (1-2mm deep, or the equivalent of four pages of newspaper) this technique assists in the body’s process and helps eliminate excess fluid from the deep layers, as well as the shallow spaces as well as negative space. MLD helps improve skin retraction and reduces muscle stiffness, thus increasing your mobility immediately post-surgery and also has an anti-inflammatory, therapeutic impact on tissues.

Physical Activity

After six weeks, you will be completely recovered and able to perform more intense and physical exercises, such as running and lifting heavier weights. If you’re still experiencing discomfortor not sure about your ability to return to a regular exercise routine, please talk to your surgeon for liposculpture who will be more than happy to talk about your issues with you.

Vaser Liposuction is done using either a general or local anaesthetic which means that you will not feel any discomfort during this procedure*.

If the procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic , sedation will be available to you. Talk to your doctor who can provide you with costs in your no-cost, no-obligation consultation.

Expect to experience some soreness and discomfort for about two weeks following the procedure, but patients’ experiences may differ due to the fact that every patient has different tolerance to pain and healing rates*.
