The use of VASER Lipo is able to perform many areas included abdomen, buttocks, cheeks, chin, hips, neck, thighs, upper arms, love handles waists. Note, liposuction is not a surgery to reduce body weight and not effective treatment for loose of saggy skin. But tummy tuck is an option to tighten up loose of saggy skin. Belt lipectomy (a small tummy tuck) or truncal body contouring is a circumferential removal of loose hanging skin and fat from around the waist or “belt” line of an individual. 

VASER LipoSelection, the goal is to create a slimmer delineate.

VASER LipoSelection is performed under a local anesthesia by small numbs area, if much fat deposits or many points, a general anesthesia is best consideration. The use of general anesthesia or local anesthesia allows you to be comfortable during surgery.

VASER LipoSelection is an ultrasonic technology to breaks down fatty tissue while leaving other important tissues relatively intact. As a result with the VASER System has been reported result in smooth contouring and low incidence of complications such as prolonged swelling, loss of sensation, prolonged numbing, blood clots, bruising, seromas, and skin discoloration. Unlike old liposuction is suction based cause by tissue damage (inability to differentiate fat from nerves, blood vessels, connective tissues) results in potential uneven result, painful recovery, length recovery, more swelling and bruising.

VASER LipoSelection is involved contouring approachto removing body fat deposits reveal muscle tone underneath.

Because fatty tissue is broken up and emulsified before being removed, VASER lipo leaves behind connective tissue critical to optimal recovery and smooth results.

Use of VASER Lipo before after surgery

The surgeon makes a tiny incision in the targeted area, and infuses a saline solution mixed with lidocaine and epinephrine to help shrink blood vessels and numb the area to be treated then inserts a small patented probe that emits ultrasonic waves to selectively break up fat deposits, leaving important tissues relatively intact.

Once the fatty tissue is emulsified, it can be removed through the small incision with massage and/or controlled suction designed to be gentle. Any residual fatty tissue not removed from the body is either absorbed or smoothly reshaped to the patient’s contour.

The principle of VASER lipo surgery allows to remove the adipose tissue on respecting the other tissues, that is to say a shorter postoperative.

  • Less bruise
  • Less oedema
  • Better recovery
  • Better aspect of the skin

 After surgery, pain that can be controlled by medication may be present for several days. Numbness or discomfort may be experienced for vary periods of time.

A patient who was admitted to a hospital will be released 1 day following the operation. The protective bandages or corset-like garment often are removed within a week of surgery.

However, to further proper skin shrinkage, you may be asked to wear a long-legged girdle for 2-3 months

Some swelling and skin discoloration will exist, but usually will subside within 3-6 weeks or several months. There is a possibility that skin over the treated area will have a rippled or uneven effect. 

If surface imperfections such as skin dimpling (often called cellulite) are present before surgery, they will remain after it.  In some cases, permanent sagging of the skin may occur when the fat removed from the area exceeds the capacity of the skin to contract.

After about 1 to 6 months, you’ll start to see the results more clearly as your body settles into its modified form. After getting VASER liposuction, you’ll need to keep up your diet and exercise routine so that your body doesn’t regain the fat deposits that were removed.

Some peoples with localized deposits of fat, who are also overweight must be willing to accept a greater possibility of contour irregularities such as poor skin saggy in exchange for looking better in clothing and other cosmetic surgery may be require.

An older individual with loss of skin elasticity may require surgical removal of excess skin as a secondary procedure to achieve maximum results.

Recovery Timeline :

  • Bruising: Can be painful in the short term, and should fade after a few weeks.
  • Swelling: Should subside gradually over a month or two.
  • Scars: Will vary in size depending on the particular procedure and should fade over the weeks.
  • Pain: Should be temporary and controlled by either medication or by a prescription.
  • Numbness: Sometime persists for a few weeks.
  • Limited mobility: Will depend on the exact procedure.
  • Secondary procedures may sometimes be recommended to reduce excess skin.

 

Surgery Plan and Recovery period :

  • Day 1 - Consultation and Prepare for Laboratory Testing
  • Day 2 and 3 - Surgery and one night in hospital private room after surgery
  • Day 3 - Discharge from Hospital
  • Day 3 to Day 9 - Stay in hotel for recovery period and follow up on doctor appointments
  • Day 9 - Stitches removal and final check up 
  • Day 10 - Safe to fly

 

Tips to minimize VASER lipoSelection recovery.

  • Proper healing starts with rest
  • Eat a healthy diet with lots of protein, fruits and drink plenty of water to help reduce swelling 
  • Wear post operative compression girdle follow instruction from your doctor
  • Apply scar gel after stitches removed
  • Avoid sun direct exposure for a few weeks

For local’s patient - You may resume to work after a few days but must avoid heavy lifting over the head or fast movement during 3 to 4 weeks after surgery date. Ideally at least five days off work.

For international patient - Please plan to be in Bangkok at least 10 days. Stitches will remove day 7 after surgery date. You may resume to work within a few days but must avoid heavy lifting over the head or fast movement during 3 to 4 weeks after surgery date. 

◊ Any bruising and swelling will usually dissipate within 6 to 12 weeks after under liposuction.


 

Treatment after surgery
during the first 7 days

Bruises are sometime occur in area of the operation after a few weeks. Mild pain can be managed very easily with a simple pain medication.

Most of the visible signs of Liposuction surgery should disappear within a few weeks and minor swelling and bruising can usually be hidden.

  • Removing stitches 7 days after surgery.
  • No heavy exercise 3 weeks after surgery
  • Scars are usually well hidden and normally fade in time

Most people will be able to resume most normal daily activities after seven days of recovery (desk jobs). You will need to arrange someone to drive you home and take time off from work at least a week.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How much fat can be removed?

A: There are limits to how much fatty tissue can be safely taken from the body. One way to get a good idea for yourself is to stand and bend from the waist. The amount of “loose-hanging” fat you can easily grab above / below your waist will approximate what can be removed. Bear in mind that this procedure is not intended as a weight loss solution. The goal is to create a slimmer silhouette.

Q: What about future weight gain to other areas after fat remove by liposuction ?

A: This is a common misperception. Once you have fat removed, it is gone and assuming a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and exercise, it will not return or migrate. However, fat is necessary to a healthy body, some essential fat layers in any given site remain untreated, if you have gain a significant amount of weight. The remaining fatty tissue will expand. Normal aging changes can also be expected.

Q: Will liposuction eliminate my cellulite ?

A: There is currently no curative “fix” for cellulite. Exercise is also highly recommend after lipo surgery.

Q: Where liposuction should be perform ?

A: If just a very small area such as under arms. We might consider under Local Anesthesia in clinic. But mostly, we are highly recommend in hospital and can be out patient or in patient with an overnight hospital.

Q: DOES VASER LIPO LEAVE SCARS NOTICEABLE ?

A: These are small incisions due from cannulas and just a few millimeters in diameter.
