The long-awaited summer is finally here, and it’s time to shed off your heavy winter clothing, break out the summer clothes, and start working on your tan. The only problem is, you may have put on a few extra pounds during the winter for added insulation, and as a result, you’re not quite ready to slip into a pair of shorts or bathing suit. But don’t worry. Cosmetic surgeons have come up with a new procedure called VASER Liposuction to help remove excess body fat and enhance the contour of your body,
VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) works by removing the deep fat deposits surrounding certain muscle groups. In the end, the procedure enhances those underlying muscle groups, giving you an overall better looking physique and more self confidence. The target areas for the procedure are mainly the flanks (or love handles), chin, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, abdomen, knees, ankles, and breasts. VASER works well for both men and women, and patients who have received the treatments are extremely pleased with the results.
VASER Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound technology to break down the fat cells in your body.
During the procedure, the surgeon injects a tumescent fluid (or anesthetic) into the fatty layers beneath your skin. He then uses high-energy VASER ultrasonic probes in order to break up the fat cells and combine them with the fluid. Finally, the surgeon removes the fat from the target areas using specially-designed suction tubes. The skin retracts during the healing process, and the end result is much smoother, more natural looking skin. Although the final results of the procedure are more obvious after a few months, people are seeing some noticeable changes right after the procedure.
The VASER procedure involves minimal downtime, and patients typically return to work within a few days. Since the surgeon makes very small decisions around the targeted area, there are no stitches required. However, patients experience some bruising and swelling for a couple of weeks after the procedure. VASER is conducted on an outpatient basis, and is usually performed in the doctor’s office.
Much like any other medical procedure, patients can experience infection from VASER Liposuction; however that risk is minimal due to the fact that the surgeon uses antibiotics on each patient. Also, patients often experience a little swelling and bruising around the treated areas for a few weeks afterwards.
All in all, VASER Liposuction offers a great option to those looking to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of their bodies. When you consider alternatives like diet, exercise, and traditional liposuction, this fairly new and popular procedure offers the best possible solution for fat removal.
