VASER Lipo: What are Your Benefits with this Advanced Ultrasonic Lipo Technique?
VASER Lipo, a newer ultrasonic lipo technique, is an ultrasound-assisted tumescent lipo surgery, one of the most effective types of liposuction.
Whether small or large body areas, would you like to have your body contoured gently and precisely with the smallest risks possible?
Then, take a look at VASER Lipo...
A minimally invasive technique safer than laser lipo, VASER uses a low-level ultrasound to dissolve the fat before it is suctioned from your body.
This technique is typically used in conjunction with tumescent lipo surgery giving you a smooth body contouring along with increased skin tightening while helping you experience minimum downtime and pain after the surgery.
Why is this newer technique safer for you and providing a smoother result?
Because - first - when breaking up the fat cells, ultrasound is safer that laser, which sometimes can cause burns to the surrounding nerves, blood vessels and/or muscles. Second - the main benefit of VASER ultrasound technology (VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) over the earlier ultrasonic-assisted liposuction procedures is the use of smaller cannulas - resulting in smaller incisions - and, most importantly, a lower level of sound energy used - resulting in less damage of the surrounding tissues.
You’re probably curious...
How Does VASER Lipo Work?
Whether you need a touch up of a previously suctioned area or a major body contouring makeover, this is one of the most effective types of liposuction getting you the targeted, precise body sculpting that you want AND that is done under local anesthesia.
Here’s how VASER Lipo works:
First, the surgeon injects the target area(s) on your body with a tumescent fluid - a special saline solution of numbing medication and a capillary constrictor that shrinks the blood vessels in the area so the fatty tissue is better exposed.
Then, the doctor inserts here small, 2-3 mm Titanium rods that deliver ultrasonic waves specifically targeted only at the fat cells, breaking them up, shaking them loose and then emulsifying the fat with the tumescent fluid previously injected.
Lastly, using small cannulas this mix is suctioned out from the treated area gently, without doing any damage to the surrounding tissues.
What are Your Benefits with VASER Lipo?
As a precise technique delivering predictable results, you can have it done in one or several areas of your body. Here are some of the significant benefits you’ll experience with this newer ultrasonic lipo technique:
More delicate or harder-to-fix areas of your body (your chin and neck) can be accessed easier and contoured more precisely
Your final liposuction result (after 3-4 months) is a better body contour and a smoother, tighter skin
From all other types of liposuction, this technique is well suited for small, as well as large or more fibrous areas - and even for previously suctioned spots
The potential risk of general anesthesia is eliminated, since this is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, typically in the surgeon’s office
You can have large quantities of fat removed (up to seven liters) and multiple areas treated in the same session
You experience less swelling, bruising and trauma because this type of ultrasound is precisely targeted and breaks up only the fat cells, through a highly tissue-differentiating process called LipoSelection (FDA-approved in 2002), which is based on the different density factor of the fatty tissue
As a result of this gentler technique, your discomfort after surgery is diminished and your recovery time is significantly reduced - by the 3rd day you can resume your normal activities
It’s more affordable, since this type of surgery is performed without requiring general anesthesia and an operating room; however, whether or not it qualifies as a low cost liposuction depends greatly on the location you’re getting it done at - in more populated areas you’re likely to get a lower price.
Although the price tag of VASER Lipo is similar to traditional lipo cost, you can only get a more precise quote after a thorough consultation with an accredited surgeon.
Perhaps... but bear in mind that non-surgical lipo requires repeated sessions before you can see significant changes in your body’s contour... and the cost of these adds up quickly.
Think about it. Cost shouldn’t be the determining factor when you decide on the best solution for your unique situation... Rather, safety, good results and the least amount of trauma to your body is what matters the most.
One more thing to remember...
VASER Lipo Is Not a Weight Loss Solution!
Despite its multiple advantages, this type of liposuction is not a weight loss solution. It is not meant to help with obesity.
However, if - despite exercising regularly and eating a healthy, lower calorie diet - you still have stubborn fatty areas, this sophisticated type of ultrasonic lipo will get rid of them :) Plus, you’ll get effective results without the lumpy or uneven look you might get from other types of liposuction.
Undoubtedly, you’ll experience some temporary bruising, numbness or tingling sensations - and yes, you’ll still have to wear a compression garment after the surgery. But overall, your body heals faster and the results are better than with other types of lipo.
So it's no wonder that...
VASER Lipo is Fast Becoming the Superior Choice
But be warned... This is an advanced procedure - not any doctor has the required expertise. Your ultimate satisfaction depends largely on your choice of the surgeon. To get the outcome you want, be sure to choose a cosmetic surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Why? Because this certification ensures that your lipo surgeon has a solid training and a good experience in liposuction - rather than being merely a general practitioner who attended a few days of training with the VASER Lipo equipment provider. To minimize your risks and disappointment, do your research… start by looking for qualified surgeons in your area, check their websites and see that they have thorough training, proper certification and can provide real-case results - i.e. before-and-after pictures and so on.
