What is Vaser in plastic surgery?

VASER is an acronym for vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance. This ultrasound technology uses powerful waves to disrupt the bonds between fat cells. VASER liposuction is considered a more controlled and gentle kind of cosmetic procedure, and it requires a skilled and experienced provider to do it right.

How long does Vaser lipo last?

How painful is Vaser lipo?

Which is better Vaser or SmartLipo?

Both VASER and SmartLipo are very similar in what that aim to achieve: smooth and precise fat aspiration during liposuction. They differ significantly in their means of achieving those ends, however. VASER harnesses the powers of sound vibrations, while SmartLipo focuses frequencies of laser light.

How much fat can Vaser Lipo remove?

What can go wrong with Vaser Lipo?

One of the most common side effects of Vaser liposuction is inflammation. Although it is usually mild, there are some patients that may experience more severe bouts of inflammation immediately following the treatment. This may mean you will need to take special medication throughout the recovery period.

Does fat come back after Vaser lipo?

Fat will not return (and ideal results will remain intact) if the patient maintains their “post-lipo weight.” For example, if a patient weighed 130 pounds prior liposuction and had a total of 6 pounds removed through the procedure, fat will stay away if the patient maintains their weight at or below 124 pounds.

Is Vaser lipo cheaper than regular lipo?

Both techniques are an outpatient procedure, with limited downtime and complications from general anesthesia. It can take less time to recover from vaser liposuction, and there may be less bruising. However, vaser liposuction can sometimes be more expensive because of the technology used.

Why do lipo stomachs look weird?

Uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity or unusual healing can cause the skin to look bumpy or wavy. Damage beneath the skin from the tube (cannula) used during liposuction procedures can leave the skin with a permanent spotted appearance.

Why do you have to drink so much water after lipo?

Water helps our blood transport nutrients, and to transport waste away from the cells. After surgery, more fluids may be necessary because of wound drainage, as with liposuction. It is very important to stay well hydrated following surgery with liquids.
