Vaser Lipo – Getting The Facts Right

There are numerous surgeries which can help you to get the desired result, which otherwise is not possible even with strict diet and exercise.

Liposuction, which is also known as ‘lipoplasty’, or simply ‘vaserlipo’, is a cosmetic surgery which removes stubborn fat from different sites of the human body. VASER stands for ‘Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance’ uses third generation of ultrasound energy to get rid of the extra flab.

Vaser lipo is an advanced form of body contouring technique that selectively removes the unwanted body fat. Rather than laser it uses ultrasound waves to target the fatty cells of the body. Before it is taken out of the body the fat is broken and melted. Then it is taken out of the body with the help of a ‘cannula’. This is done in such a way that it does not affect the surrounding blood vessels or connective tissues.

It was first introduced in March 2001; and till date more than 100,000 procedures have been carried out in countries across the globe and with no reports of adverse effects till now. With the improved and advanced technique of vaser liposuction or vaser lipo became a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery. Moreover, in September 2002, the technique has acquired clearance from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the United States for body contouring.

Vaser lipo is performed in a sterile environment such as a hospital, body clinic. Doctors can prescribe whether to go for IV sedation, local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The body areas on which this surgery can be performed are upper and lower abdomen, back, male chest, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, chin and neck, knees, calves, ankles and so on.

Procedure:

1. Firstly, the targeted fatty area is injected with a ‘tumescent fluid’.

2. The fluid helps in shrinking the surrounding blood vessels and numbing the area.

3. It then becomes easy for removing the fat cells and lowers the risk of blood loss and bruising.

4. Small incisions are made into the body in between the layer of muscle and skin, through which thin tubes/probes are inserted.

5. High frequency ultrasound waves are transmitted through the probes which help in loosening the fat cells without disturbing the connective tissues, nerves and blood vessels.

6. The liquefied fat cells are then removed from the body by means of special suction tubes known as ‘cannula’.

7. Depending on the number of areas to be treated, vaser lipo procedure takes several hours.
