Vaser liposuction is an advanced body contouring procedure that uses ultrasonic energy to break down and remove fat cells from specific areas of the body.
This technique allows for precise fat removal with minimal damage to surrounding tissues, resulting in smoother contours and faster recovery times compared to traditional liposuction methods.
How does vaser liposuction work?
Vaser liposuction involves several steps to ensure effective and safe fat removal:
Step-by-Step Guide
- Anaesthesia: Depending on the extent of the procedure, the patient is administered either local or general anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the surgery.
- Tumescent Solution: The surgeon injects a tumescent solution, which is a mixture of saline, epinephrine, and a local anaesthetic, into the targeted area. This solution helps numb the area, reduce bleeding, and make fat cells easier to break down.
- Ultrasound Probes: Small incisions are made, through which ultrasound probes are inserted. These probes emit ultrasonic energy, which selectively breaks down fat cells by vibrating at high frequencies.
- Emulsification: The ultrasonic energy emulsifies the fat, turning it into a liquid or oil-like consistency while leaving surrounding tissues largely unharmed.
- Suction: The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out using a specialised cannula (thin tube).
- Shaping and Contouring: The surgeon carefully shapes and contours the treated area to create smooth, desirable results.
- Recovery and Healing: Post-procedure, compression garments are usually worn to reduce swelling and help the skin conform to the new contours. The recovery time is quicker than with traditional liposuction due to less tissue trauma.
What is the difference between vaser lipo and liposuction?
Vaser liposuction differs from traditional liposuction in several key ways:
- Ultrasound energy: Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat, making it easier to remove through gentle suction.
- Precision: This technique specifically targets fat cells, which can result in less damage to surrounding tissues such as nerves and blood vessels.
- Reduced bruising and swelling: Due to its less invasive nature, patients often experience reduced bruising and swelling compared to traditional liposuction.
- Body contouring: Vaser liposuction is often used for high-definition body contouring, allowing surgeons to sculpt and define specific areas like the abdomen, flanks, or chest.
- Shorter recovery time: With minimized trauma to surrounding tissues, the recovery period tends to be shorter compared to traditional methods.
