Vaser Liposuction

VASER liposuction is not for everyone, the treatment or surgery is for targeted regions of unwanted fats on your body. It is more effective if you’ve previously lost a significant amount of your body fat through exercising and dieting, but there remains an area of stubborn fat.

The nature of VASER Lipo makes it most suitable for patients with poor skin elasticity as the traditional liposuction may not be sufficient enough to endure skin retraction.

VASER liposuction does not offer weight loss, it simply is the removal of stubborn fat which is not reduced with regular exercise and proper diet. If you wish to lose weight or perhaps burn fat, it is best to exercise regularly with a balanced diet. Weight loss via liposuction is a myth (Misconception). For beginners on the road to losing fat, we may recommend you discuss it with our in-house nutritionists for initial consultations. As such, we can determine the most suitable and complete approach in ensuring you have the right treatment.

• Chin & Neck: Changes to our appearance over time occur naturally, it just so happens unfortunately that these changes may cause the lower section of the face, which is otherwise known as the jowls to look baggy. This facial loosening alters the appearance around the jawline, and in most cases results in a ‘Double chin’. VASER lipo procedure carried out in this region very often contributes to the treatment plan which may involve additional treatments like mini-facelift and non-invasive skin tightening.
• Arms: Accumulated fat in the arms can prove difficult to shift regardless of exercise and cautious eating. The flabby triceps region otherwise referred to as ‘bingo wings’ is a frequent challenge. VASER lipo exceptionally reforms the arm. Removal of excess skin and arm size reduction may sometimes require a separate surgical operation.
• Abdomen: A very commonly treated region particularly in women who have had children is the abdomen which is usually called the tummy. VASER lipo is most effective for this and can trim down the waistline to a large extent. VASER lipo on the flanks, otherwise known as ‘love handles’, is very popular for patients as it produces a good finish and reduces the overall midsection, instead of simply adjusting the front section of the tummy. Additional surgery may be required to reduce excess skin for women with large abdomen. The tummy tuck is a commonly used treatment method. It is also called abdominoplasty.
• Flanks: The flanks, which are also known as ‘love handles’ is the area located directly above the waistline. Discomfort is felt in this region of the body most times when an outfit made of cotton material is worn, it can sometimes be embarrassing.
• Thighs: This is very likely the most common body region to have laser lipo as it’s a section of the body to which fat deposits are most noticeable. Stubborn fat deposits here may result in discomfort with walking and can cause several levels of rubbing to happen within the thigh, more lately referred to as ‘chub rub’ in the media. The treatments of the inner and outer thigh are carried out simultaneously, to tremendously reduce the girth of the thigh by liposuction. This transformation of the thigh results in the improvement of appearance as well as ease of movement (walking). 
• Buttocks: There is fewer treatment request for this body region because of the current beauty trend, nonetheless, desired results are obtainable.

The surgery varies depending on the level of treatment required and as well the treatment regions. Sedation before the surgery is necessary, as this will help to soothe the treatment region.

• Pre-surgery: At your first consultation, the region for treatment will be outlined on your body. The category of anaesthesia to be administered is dependent on the size and number of regions to be treated.
• Preparing the area: You will lie flat and a local anaesthetic is injected into the region to be treated via surgical keyholes. As soon as the anesthetic kicks in, small incisions are made close to the outline. A saline solution or tumescent fluid will be injected into the targeted area to enlarge the tissue layers.
• Removing the fat: The VASER probe that transmits ultrasound energy is introduced to break up fatty tissues and selectively liquefy them for extraction. This is followed by the introduction of a cannula to vacuum out the fat. Once this is done, the procedure is complete and incisions are closed up, dressed with bandages, and properly cleaned up.
• Returning home: For small regions treated using a local anaesthetic, after the application of the dressings, followed by post-operative instructions, then you can return home.

In some cases, the local anesthetic surgery is convenient for most patients, however, some patients may feel slight pain in certain areas. For cases of multiple regions treatment, general anesthesia is administered as the sedative meaning you will be asleep all through the entire surgical operation.

VASER liposuction is a low-risk procedure. Although there are some risks of side effects such as pain and aching at the site of liposuction, scaring after healing, and inflammations.

To reduce the risk of these side effects after the VASER lipo procedure, the skilled hands of an experienced surgeon have to be involved.

The skill and experience provided by your surgeon coupled with state-of-the-art technology will ensure your body re-make goes accordingly as planned and also reduce the risk of possible complications.

Before the procedure, we’ll always discuss whether or not the procedure is suitable. VASER lipo is an effective procedure for eliminating stubborn fat deposits from regions of the body where dieting and exercise may not suffice. A lot of people find it easier to lose weight from the upper regions of the body, but from the waist down it almost seems impossible to shed that extra flesh. VASER liposuction becomes useful here. It’s rapid, minimally invasive, and less traumatic. In addition, this treatment is not a stopgap treatment for weight loss. Long-term results are maintained if you’re committed to a healthy lifestyle. In this regard, before the VASER lipo treatment, our surgeons will first observe your body form and ensure the procedure is suitable for you.

After your VASER lipo procedure, if there is a re-emergence of weight or BMI increase, it will be evenly distributed over your entire body. The extracted fat does not return, all you have to do is maintain a healthy lifestyle of proper dieting and regular exercising.

Although, some necessary fat layers may remain within your body tissues as fat is vital to a healthy body. Subsequently, should you gain added weight, the leftover fatty tissue will enlarge. Gradual changes due to aging can also be anticipated.

The major distinguishing factor is the application of the technology towards the treatment and also the type of treatments that can be performed. Laser lipolysis applies a laser fiber to deliver laser energy to the fatty tissue via a cut made on the skin. Laser lipolysis is not minimally invasive, hence can result in damage to vital tissue structures such as nerves and blood vessels during treatment. However, VASER lipo involves the use of a thin ultrasound probe which transmits ultrasound energy to selectively break up the unwanted fat in a gentle manner, whilst avoiding vital tissues to enable quick recovery and even skin retraction. In most cases, laser lipolysis is utilized for the treatment of small regions of localized fat. VASER lipo, on the other hand, can be used to treat both small and large sections of the body. These two procedures use small instruments and may be performed whilst you’re awake.

With state-of-the-art technology, liposuction utilizes powerful ultrasound energy to remove targeted fat cells, which produces excellent results as well as a faster recovery period.

It might interest you to know that VASER lipo is efficient, minimally invasive, and works to precision.

There is a general Misconception that liposuction can flatten the stomach. Well! It depends, liposuction surgery majorly targets subcutaneous fat deposits, which is found under your skin.

If your stomach fat is as a result of your muscles, it will not be improved with liposuction. However, you can still set a course to get the flat stomach you desire, what you have to do is maintain a balanced diet, and exercise regularly, be it at the gym or perhaps routine strenuous activities.

The price of VASER lipo is determined by the size and number of the regions to be treated. This will be discussed at your consultation. Our prices for the varying categories of the surgery are based on complexity and time taken at the theatre.

Prior to your VASER liposuction treatment, you should maintain a healthy weight. If you’re a smoker it’s equally advisable that you quit smoking a month before your VASER procedure. Also, anti-inflammatory painkillers and blood thinners such as aspirin and ibuprofen should be avoided a month before the surgery.
