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 liposuction 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 liposuction 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 liposuction 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.

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

A local anaesthetic is injected into the region to be treated via surgical keyholes.

The VASER probe that transmits ultrasound energy is introduced to selectively liquefy the fat cells for extraction.

Removing the fat

A suction device is used to extract the liquified fat.

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.

Will I see an immediate result?

For most patients, desirable results follow immediately. Although, the region may be a bit protuberant initially, and after a few days begins to shrink. The transformation will be natural and subtle. In subsequent months, you will begin to notice an improvement in the entire appearance and tone of the regions that have been treated.

How long is the Recovery?

The recovery period varies depending on the regions that have been treated and the amount of fat extracted.

In some cases, there may be some minimal inflammations. Thus, it is recommended you avoid heavy lifting and exercises for 2-3 weeks following the procedure to enable your body to heal completely.

Will I need any aftercare?

Prior to your discharge from the clinic, we’ll inform you of all you need to know about making a speedy recovery and self-care. For any questions and consultation, we are always available if required.

Difference between VASER Lipo and laser lipolysis? 

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.

How much fat can I remove with VASER lipo?

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.
