What is Vaser liposuction and how does it work?
What do we understand by lipoplasty?
Liposuction is medically known as lipoplasty. It is a process by which fat is broken down and removed from various parts of the patient’s body, primarily the abdomen, chest, knees, thighs, buttocks, neck, chin, and the upper and back of the legs. the arms. There are several techniques for lipoplasty, one of which is ultrasonic lipoplasty, developed by VASER.
Who are the right candidates?
Lipoplasty helps achieve tight skin in a short period of time. Suitable candidates for surgery should be in good health and physically fit with good skin elasticity. Ideally, the candidate should be 20-25 pounds overweight.
What is the procedure?
The traditional fat emulsification process was performed with the help of a cannula, where it is introduced into the targeted part of the patient’s body to remove excess fat. Fat is broken down faster using Ultrasound than the traditional method. Vaser is released in the form of vibration, bursting the walls of the fat cells, emulsifying it into a buttery liquid and finally sucking from the vacuum device. In ambulatory candidates, local anesthesia is used, which allows them to go home the same day of surgery. Prior to surgery, the patient’s selected body part is filled with a special moisturizing or super moisturizing solution that helps keep the area numb by shrinking blood vessels for less blood loss during the procedure.
What are the advantages of this procedure?
The advantage and goal of surgery is to remove unwanted fat from any part of the body without causing damage to organs, tissues, blood vessels, or skin necrosis. Although it is a faster technique for body contouring, it also helps the patient to recover quickly. Vaser liposuction is a minimally invasive surgery with minimal swelling, bruising, blood loss, and pain throughout the entire body reshaping process. The patient obtains the surgical benefit for the treatment of large areas of fat, which are accessed and extracted from the patient’s body.
What are the complications you face?
This surgery uses high energy ultrasonics to treat fat emulsification that can cause a second or third degree burn or a few weeks of numbness in the treated area. Some other noted drawbacks of Vaser lipoplasty are that the skin is not tightened, leading to sagging skin, a little more bleeding, and a long recovery process. The result of body contouring can be pleasing and safe if the surgeon is verified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It is safer to check the doctor’s credentials and reviews by other patients treated by him.
