Vaser Liposuction
This
new advanced form of laser assisted liposuction, named Vaser Liposuction was only recently approved in
the United States and sounds almost too good to be true.
The new ultrasonic technique bursts and melts fat cells without disturbing the surrounding tissues, causing you only minimal pain and swelling. Its so precise that you might only need two days of downtime!
The fat is melted, then massaged and emptied by a mini canella through a tiny 1mm incision. These tiny incisions can be placed through old scars or moles to minimize the tell tale signs of lipo even further.
Vaser Liposuction Basics
Patients and doctors have also reported that laser assisted liposuction really tightens the extra skin above the fat deposit, much more than than traditional liposuction does. A pressure garment is still necessary for 2 weeks post op to ensure the skin tightens well and doesn't sag or ripple.
The best candidates for vaser liposuction are people already in shape and within 15 pounds of their ideal body weight, who have isolated trouble spots of fat.
A great way to decide whether this procedure is for is for you is by studying patient result pictures. By matching previous before and after patient pictures with your body type you can get a good idea of what to expect without any unrealistic expectations.
This procedure is preformed under a local anesthetic and therefore is much safer and better value than traditional liposuction. There's no need for an anesthesiologist or hospital stay.
The fat cells are permanently removed and will not come back to that area. However, deciding to go ahead with any method of liposuction means a long term commitment to maintaining a stable weight. Weight gain after the procedure can be redistributed to untreated, conspicuous areas like arms and face.
In reality, expect at least 2 days downtime with minimal pain. Soreness after the procedure can last for 3-5 days, similar to that from a really hard workout. Being beautiful in this day and age, awhh, love that technology, what will it be next?
