Vaser Liposuction Surgery

Vaser Liposuction, or Vaser Liposelection as it is also known as, is a form of cosmetic surgery that is designed to remove stubborn build ups of fat and excess skin to leave a firmer, younger looking complexion. It is designed to target specific areas that are no longer affected through diet and exercise. It is just one of the various innovative methods of fat removal that has fantastic success rates.

Ultrasonic Energy

Vaser Lipo uses ultrasonic energy to selectively break apart fat deposits for easy and safe removal. As it is a minimally invasive procedure with huge success rates, the procedure has become extremely popular for both men and women alike. Vaser Liposuction can be used to remove fat from nearly all areas of the body except the face and other sensitive areas. Vaser Lipo surgery is perfect for everything from minor touch-ups to major transformations. What’s more, VASER can be used to re-sculpt body areas to make them appear more toned and muscular

Although technology and equipment have constantly been improved, the ultrasonic energy that is used to break apart the fatty deposits has been in use for a number of years. The beauty of this is that one can be safe in the knowledge that surgeons would have had healthy exposure to the various techniques on offer. The energy that is used in Vaser Liposuction is tissue selective, meaning that the ultrasound energy targets unwanted fat, but preserves other surrounding tissues, such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue, to promote smooth contours and reduce healing times. Therefore vaser liposuction surgery ensures a faster and improved surgery with even speedier healing times.

The Surgery

The surgeon begins the surgery by making a small incision in the selected area. The fatty layer is then infused with a tumescent fluid. A small probe, which transmits the ultrasonic energy, is then inserted. The probe is used to selectively break apart the stubborn fatty cells and emulsify it into the infusion fluid. The emulsified fat is then removed using a specially designed VentX Suction Cannula.

As the procedure requires only a tiny incision and no physical force whatsoever, the recovery period is far shorter than with a traditional liposuction. What’s more, no sutures or stitching is required, therefore, during the healing process the skin retracts seamlessly to give a firmer, smoother and more natural looking appearance. However, some scarring is inevitable. Patients can expect to return to their normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the area treated and the amount of fat removed.

Vaser Liposuction Recovery

As well as a reduced recovery period, Vaser Liposuction also has a number of other advantages over other forms of fat removal. Vaser Lipo surgery is performed under local anaesthetic, so there is generally no need for an overnight stay, the risks are also reduced as it is not an invasive, the surgery is normally shorter, more fat can be removed at one time and the overall benefits are remarkable.
