Vaser Liposuction: How It Works, Is It Worth It

If you’ve considered getting a slimmer physique, you might have considered traditional liposuction surgery. But are you aware of the benefits of Vaser Liposuction? This state-of-the-art process is a highly refined kind of liposuction that allows for more precise body contouring. See below for more information on Vaser liposuction, or get in touch with COH Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, to schedule a consultation.

What is Vaser Liposuction?

VASER is an abbreviation for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. The fat cells of the patient are emulsified (liquefied) using ultrasonic frequencies, to put it in fancy terms.

Vaser technology has significantly reduced the physical effort required for fat removal compared to traditional liposuction methods. Previously, classic liposuction necessitated physically detaching the fat from surrounding tissue through manual movement. By using ultrasonic frequencies, the fat is made to liquefy and is much easier to remove.

Not that classic liposuction has lost its role in the modern world. It could be sensible to employ the conventional approach in some circumstances. Vaser liposuction, however, has been proven to be much better in several circumstances, particularly in recent years.

Vaser Lipo is appropriate for practically all body parts;

• Chin
• Neck
• Buttock Crease
• Hips
• Inner and Outer Thighs
• Upper Arms
• Male Chest
• Back
• Abdomen
• Flanks / Love Handles
• Knees
• Legs

How does VASER liposuction work?

All types of liposuction adhere to a common underlying principle. The process involves utilizing anesthesia, saline solution, and cannulas to disintegrate and extract fat deposits from beneath the skin.

Before the suction procedure, fat deposits can be fragmented through the application of water pressure or lasers. Another method uses ultrasonic waves that pulse. Ultrasonic liposuction includes procedures like VASER liposuction.

All of these energy sources produce heat, which aids in separating fat cells for simpler removal and somewhat tightens the skin in the treated region.

Utilizing VASER liposuction, your physician can delicately extract fat without compromising the underlying healthy tissue. This technique severs the connection between fatty tissue and muscles, thereby ensuring a refined body contouring outcome. The exceptional efficacy of VASER lipo has established its strong credibility in the field of body sculpting.

Vaser Liposuction Pros and Cons

Let’s examine some advantages and disadvantages of Vaser liposuction.

Less tissue trauma

Because your plastic surgeon will not have to agitate the fat that has to be removed to suction it out, the surrounding tissue will be less damaged.

Blood arteries and the surrounding adipose tissue are frequently seriously injured during the agitation process of classical liposuction. This method of removing excess fat might still be painful because of the damage it causes, especially in the first stages of recuperation.

When doing ultrasound-assisted liposuction, ultrasonic energy accomplishes the process of “shaking” that deep fatty layer free of its fat cells. With less stress and blood vessel injury, removal is simple as a result.

Superior, more-precise contouring

Vaser helps your surgeon to remove (or fat suction) fat more accurately since it can liquefy and release fat cells in the target area. Vaser lipo allows the removal of those stubborn fat deposits with more precision.

Minimal discomfort

Naturally, an anesthetic will be used during the process to keep all patients at ease. Vaser lipo, however, lessens the amount of damage to the surrounding tissue, thus patients also feel less discomfort overall, both before and after the surgery.

Is Vaser lipo risky?

• Bleeding
• Bruising
• Infection
• Allergy
• Blood clots
• Fat embolism
• Lidocaine toxicity
• Numbness
• Skin compromise
• Skin laxity

What to expect after VASER liposuction

After undergoing VASER liposuction, it is common for the treated areas to display some bruising and swelling. Immediate visible improvements may not be apparent as your body needs time to recuperate. To manage any bleeding in the affected regions within the next 24 to 48 hours, you will be provided with sterilized cotton pads for dressing. It is recommended that you increase your fluid intake to aid in the removal of anesthesia from your body. Using a compression garment for a few weeks will help reduce swelling.

The full benefits of the procedure typically become more evident within 3 to 6 months, as your body adapts to its new contours. Some people might need to wait a few more months to see noticeable improvements. The results of the procedure are typically long-lasting, although maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine post-surgery is crucial in preventing the re-accumulation of fat deposits. Understanding that some aging symptoms might not be reversible is crucial. Over time, your body may alter due to several factors like gravity, inflammation, and weight swings.

How long after Vaser liposuction will the results show?

Although you can start to notice benefits as soon as two to three months have gone and the discomfort has subsided, the best results with vaser liposuction are achieved after six months, when the skin has had time to tighten. Following the operation, many patients see an instant change.

How much fat can be removed with Vaser liposuction?

A particular quantity of fat can be safely removed in a single session, depending on your body fat percentage and the treated location. During each session, no more than 3 to 5 liters, or 4 to 5% of your body weight, should be removed. So, it is preferable to plan repeated surgeries if extra fat reduction is required.

Vaser Liposuction vs. Liposuction

Although there are some important differences, VASER liposuction is a method that is equivalent to traditional liposuction. The key contrast is that VASER liposuction allows for greater precision in the fat removal operation. It cannot be utilized to get rid of large amounts of fat.

The best VASER liposuction results are obtained using the contouring technique, which involves removing little fat deposits to reveal the muscle tone below. Your body form may vary little but significantly with VASER liposuction, even if it won’t alter your appearance entirely.

Vaser Liposuction vs. Laser Liposuction

Both procedures are popular for body contouring, but they utilize different techniques and technologies:

Vaser Liposuction

Vaser liposuction accurately targets and breaks down fat cells before their removal from the body by using ultrasonic energy. Smoother outlines and a shorter recovery period are the results of this technique’s reputation for being able to target fat specifically while protecting other tissues. Due to its ability to offer more precise contouring and its advantages for specific body areas, individuals often opt for vaser liposuction instead of traditional treatments.

Laser Liposuction

However, in a laser liposuction procedure, fat cells are first softened or liquefied using laser light. In addition to encouraging collagen synthesis, this technique could tighten skin in some areas. Regarding focusing on particular body parts, it could not be as successful as Vaser liposuction. Usually reserved for smaller regions, laser liposuction might not be the best option for more involved or extensive body sculpting surgeries.
