- Vaser Liposuction Surgery
Vaser liposuction offers a unique approach to eliminating stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Unlike traditional liposuction techniques that rely on forceful suction to remove fat, Vaser liposuction utilizes ultrasonic energy for a more targeted and gentle approach. Here’s a closer look at how it works:
- Ultrasonic Energy for Precise Fat Disruption: A specially designed probe emits ultrasonic waves at a specific frequency. These waves target and vibrate fat cell membranes, causing them to gently rupture and liquefy.
- Targeted Fat Removal: The emulsified fat becomes a loose, oil-like substance that can be precisely suctioned out using a thin cannula. This targeted approach allows the surgeon to sculpt specific areas, like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms, with greater control and accuracy.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: Vaser liposuction requires only small incisions for probe insertion and cannula access. This minimizes trauma to the surrounding tissues, leading to less bleeding, bruising, and discomfort compared to traditional liposuction.
- Potential for Fat Grafting: The liquefied fat obtained during Vaser liposuction may, in some cases, be suitable for fat grafting. This technique involves purifying the fat cells and injecting them into areas where volume enhancement is desired, like the buttocks or breasts.
What is Vaser Liposuction?
Vaser liposuction is a less invasive method than traditional liposuction. In this method, ultrasonic energy is used instead of heat or laser to break down fat cells. Ultrasonic energy does not damage the surrounding tissues without damaging the fat cells. This means less bruising, swelling and pain.
How is Vaser Liposuction Surgery Performed?
Vaser liposuction surgery can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. During the surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions in the skin and inserts an ultrasonic probe through these incisions. The ultrasonic probe emits ultrasonic energy to break up fat cells. The broken fat cells are then expelled from the body with the help of thin cannulas.
Recovery after Vaser Liposuction
The recovery process after Vaser liposuction may vary from person to person. Generally, patients can return home the same day after surgery. Bruising and swelling may occur in the first few days. Painkillers may be prescribed to control pain.
It is important for patients to drink plenty of water, eat a healthy diet and get plenty of rest to speed up the healing process. Patients should also follow the surgeon’s instructions and avoid strenuous activities.
Who Can Vaser Liposuction Surgery Be Applied to?
Vaser liposuction surgery can be applied to people who are 18 years of age or older, in good general health and who want to get rid of stubborn fat.
