Vaser Liposuction

When considering VASER liposuction, here’s what you can generally expect:

• Consultation: You’ll have an initial consultation with our surgeon to discuss your goals, assess your candidacy, and create a personalized treatment plan. During this consultation, you’ll discuss the areas of your body you want to target and the expected outcomes.
• Preoperative Preparation: Before the procedure, you may need to undergo some preoperative tests and follow specific instructions provided by your surgeon. These instructions may include avoiding certain medications or fasting before the surgery.
• Surgical Procedure: VASER liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia or sedation. Here’s what happens during the procedure:
• Small incisions: The surgeon makes small incisions in the target area.
• Ultrasound energy: A small probe emitting ultrasonic energy is inserted through the incisions. This energy selectively breaks down and liquefies fat cells while preserving other tissues.
• Fat removal: The emulsified fat is then gently suctioned out using a thin tube called a cannula.
• Sculpting: The surgeon carefully sculpts and contours the area to achieve the desired results.
• Recovery: After the procedure, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. You’ll likely need to wear a compression garment to support the healing process and reduce swelling. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.
• Results: The results of VASER liposuction become more apparent as swelling diminishes over several weeks to months. You’ll notice improved body contour and a reduction in fat in the treated area. Results are generally long-lasting if you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
• Risks and Complications: As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, scarring, changes in sensation, and dissatisfaction with the results. Choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon can help minimize these risks.
• Follow-up: You will have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns or complications that may arise. Your surgeon will provide instructions for post-operative care and scar management.

It’s crucial to have a detailed discussion with your surgeon during the consultation to ensure that you have a clear understanding of what to expect from VASER liposuction, including potential risks and complications. Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in VASER liposuction to ensure a safe and successful outcome. Be sure to ask any questions you may have about the procedure, recovery, and expected results.
