Vaser lipo is one of the latest liposuction procedures that use ultrasound to liquefy fat before it is finally removed from the body using the suction process. Vaser which stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance lipo uses amplified light. The light helps to dissolve fat and removes excess fat accumulated in the body, resulting in a beautifully contoured body.
During the invasive procedure, ultrasonic energy is used to break up fat deposits in the target area. The surgeon carrying out the operation then uses small incisions to inject a liquid into the fat that is broken up. Once this is done suction takes place, removing fat. The entire procedure has both pros and cons.
Pros of Vaser lipo
Vaser lipo has many advantages over traditional liposuction procedures.
The procedure takes a short time
Being a minimal invasive procedure, it usually takes an hour to several hours for the vaser lipo procedure to be completed. Patients do not have to spend hours and they can also stay awake during the procedure. The patient can immediately leave after the procedure.
Short recovery period
The recovery period after undergoing a vaser lipo is short compared to other traditional liposuction procedures. Immediately after the procedure, the patient can rest for at least a half a day or full day before resuming with their daily routine. Most patients are ready to get back to their routines within two to three weeks.
However, you should avoid involving yourself in strenuous duties for a period of two to three weeks. It’s better than other procedures where the post-recovery period lasts for several months. Since every person’s body responds differently, some patients might recover earlier compared to others.
Minimal bleeding
The whole procedure is invasive and there is less bleeding and bruising. In case of any pain or swelling, you will need to give it around three to four weeks to subside. Visible results can be seen in about twelve weeks.
Ensures an even body contouring
Since the procedure uses ultrasonic technology, there is an even body contouring of the operated area. The incisions are normally small and targeted to specific areas ensuring that the results are satisfactory. The use of incision also reduces the chances of pain, swelling, and bleeding.
Cons of Vaser Lipo
Every surgical procedure has its own advantages as well as disadvantages and Vaser Lipo is no exception.
Scarring
Just like any other liposuction procedure, most patients undergoing vaser lipo experience scarring. This is because of the extensive nature of vaser lipo. However, the scars clear with time.
Numbness
You might experience some numbness for several weeks, although it will finally wear out. But, always ensure that you follow the recommended medical advice related to your post-recovery process. This will reduce the level of pain and numbness.
