Vaser Liposuction

The word ‘’Liposuction’’ consists of the combination of “lipos = fat” and “suction = sucking” and means “Suction of fat with vacuum “. It is a technique of fat absorption through various parts of the body via specially designed cannulas attached to a vacuum pump. Liposuction by using cannulas is performed for about a quarter of a century. To re-inject the fat into the the required sites lies at the bottom of liposuction which is called with various names such as lipoplasty, liposculpture, suction assisted body contouring, suction lipectomy and liposuction . In fact, the purpose of all operations is to change the lines of the body. Almost all these processes are based on liposuction technique.

Vaser liposuction, or ultrasound lipo, is considered to be the most advanced technology for advanced body contouring. Vaser technology uses a cuttingedge tool that maximizes liposuction precision and efficiency while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. The device achieves this by using ultrasound waves that cause only fat cells to rupture during liposuction, leading to more gentle fat removal.

For patients, this means surgeons can easily remove difficult areas of fat, which ultimately reduces inflammation, discomfort, bruising, downtime and recovery for a better liposuction experience and end result.

Primary Benefits
• Easy and virtually pain-free fat removal
• Minimally invasive procedure
• Speedy recovery; limited downtime
• No scarring
• Limited side effects (itching and swelling are most common)

Additional Benefits

There are other advantages of the Vaser liposuction system aside from melting fat. Since only fat cells hear the sound waves, blood vessels and connective tissue remain intact with Vaser. This aspect of Vaser liposuction is special for a few reasons. Leaving the blood vessels intact reduce the amount of blood loss and thus bruising. Bruising and blood loss lead to inflammation, pain, and delayed wound healing. By leaving the connective tissue intact (the connections between the skin and the muscles) the skin tends to settle easier and smoother preventing the classic liposuction deformities that many patients experiences years ago.

One new and exciting innovative use of the technology has been with hi definition liposuction. This is when a surgeon uses the ultrasound technology to selectively melt different areas of fat around muscles to highlight or define the muscles. This tends to bring the melting or Vaser liposuction technology closer to the skin so this should really be done by an experienced liposuction surgeon. Patients should expect more downtime and inflammation from these aggressive procedures. It is also important to remember that the surgeon can bring the skin down to the muscle and help bring the muscle out but the patient will need to exercise in order to bring the muscle up.

Which Areas of the Body Can Be Treated With VASER Liposuction?

Dr. Sever can target various areas of the body. Removing fat around large muscle groups makes your body look more defined.

Targeted areas for treatment include:
• Arms

The procedure offers a flat stomach, well-shaped arms, and firm buttocks.

Women who wish to achieve a sleek, athletic look can also benefit from this treatment.

We can combine your VASER Lipo procedure with a tummy tuck or body lift for superior results. Our plastic surgeons are experts in providing advanced non-invasive VASER shape treatment that blends ultrasound and massage therapy to treat stubborn fat deposits in multiple body areas.

How Does Vasershape Work?

Losing excess fat in problem areas is easy with VASER shape, an innovative non-invasive body contouring treatment. The procedure is a combination therapy that uses ultrasound therapy and zonal lymphatic massage therapy and provides long-lasting, smooth body shaping results. It also improves the appearance of cellulite. This safe, effective and relaxing procedure involves little or no downtime.

How Thıs Non-Surgıcal Treatment Works

The two hand pieces of the VASER System work in tandem for results that visibly improve the areas you want to change, restoring a youthful body contour -without surgery.

• Using two beams of ultrasound energy, ultrasound diathermy warms the targeted area and treats the underlying fatty tissue, creating a “micromassage” effect on the fat cells.

• A vacuum-assisted zonal lymphatic massage therapy is recommended immediately after the ultrasound treatment. This helps stimulate your blood circulation and drains the fat away from the treatment area.

A Typıcal Treatment Schedule

This comfortable massage-like procedure requires only three to five sessions for noticeable results.

Typically, a treatment schedule will include:

• One combined ultrasound and massage treatment per week

• 45-60 minutes per treatment area

• A total treatment regimen of three to five weeks

The main advantage is that patients can resume normal activity with little or no pain and downtime. Results will be long-lasting if a healthy diet and lifestyle is maintained without much weight gain.

What is the difference between liposuction and VASER?

There are several differences between traditional liposuction and VASER. With traditional liposuction, fluid containing an intravenous salt solution, lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine (a medication that helps to contract blood vessels and limit blood loss) is injected into the fatty tissue. After this fluid is injected, a cannula is used to suction the fat cells and the injected fluid directly from under the skin.

VASER uses ultrasound to liquefy the fat cells after the tumescent fluid has been injected. The liquid fat cells are then suctioned directly from under the skin. There is less trauma to the surrounding tissue and less bruising.

Recovery after VASER is generally faster than recovery following tradition liposuction

How much fat can be removed using VASER?

VASER is used for body contouring and not for weight loss. In order to prevent complications secondary to fluid shift in your body, Dr. Sever does not recommend removing more than five liters of fat during your VASER. procedure.

Am I a good candidate for VASER?

You are a good candidate for VASER if you are not overweight, your weight is stable, and you have fat deposits that have not responded to diet or exercise. You should also have a healthy lifestyle, not smoke, and not have a condition that would interfere with healing. Successful candidates have good skin quality and realistic expectations.

What is the recovery time for VASER liposuction?

The average recovery time for Vaser liposuction is between five and seven days. You will refrain from strenuous activities and rest properly during the recovery period. However, it is crucial to take shorter walks in your room to maintain blood circulation to the healing areas.

During the first week, you will experience tenderness, bruising, inflammation, and pain. However, you can reduce the discomfort by following your health provider’s instructions. For instance, wear compression garments, apply fluid absorbing pads, consume more water, eat veggies/fruits, and undergo massages.

Compression garments Your surgeon will give you compression garments after the surgery.

Compression garments can reduce postoperative bruising, inflammation, and swelling. Although compression garments are not comfortable and stylish, you can use them to achieve better results.

Fluid Absorbing Pads Your surgeon may recommend applying fluid absorbing pads to the wound, especially when you have fluid weeping. Applying pads during the first two to three days to treatment areas can absorb the leaking fluid and reduce the risk of infections.

Massage Some surgeons recommend lymphatic drainage massage during the recovery period. The massage offers various benefits, such as removing excess fluid, swelling reduction, decreased inflammation, and speedy recovery with optimal results.

How long do the results last?

You can fully observe the results of Vaser Liposuction in two to three months. Once the swelling and inflammation have subsided, you will start seeing the results. You will have tightened skin after six months. We recommend maintaining a healthy diet and exercise to minimize the risk of regaining weight.
