Vaser liposuction (liposculpture)

As a result of the operation - of course! Lipomodeling is a very demonstrative operation, the result is visible almost immediately and remains for a very long time if the patient maintains the resulting shape. But as for the traces of surgical intervention - no! All visible damage to the skin are small puncture marks, small scars, comparable to the marks after the removal of moles! Moreover, the punctures are made in the least noticeable places: the bikini area, natural folds. As a result, even on the beach it is almost impossible to understand that the operation was performed!

Today, there are several known methods of lipomodeling and liposuction: traditional mechanical tumescent - the very first and oldest method, vibration, laser, water jet, high-frequency RF-based, ultrasound. Each of these methods has its own advantages. Thus, mechanical lipoaspiration requires minimal costs: only cannulas for removing fat and a vacuum device are needed. At the same time, this technique is quite traumatic, since during the operation, the vessels are significantly injured. This often leads to significant blood loss and an increase in the rehabilitation period. Laser and RF lipoaspiration are hardware methods using elements of physical impact in the process of collecting adipose tissue. The main difference from VASER is the limitation on the volume of removed adipose tissue, and the removed adipose tissue cannot be used for subsequent transplantation. Vibration lipoaspiration is a method based on the use of a device that imparts an additional impulse to the cannula, which makes it easier for the surgeon to collect adipose tissue. However, the trauma to the fatty tissue is comparable to traditional liposuction, and over time the surgeon may develop so-called vibration disease.

VASER technologies are based on the use of ultrasound in pulse mode. Due to the impact of ultrasound waves of a special frequency, fat deposits are delicately destroyed during the operation, while the removed fat tissues are viable and can be used for further contour plastic surgery. VASER as a 3rd generation ultrasound liposuction technology differs from earlier versions by a much more selective effect on fat tissue, a lower risk of damage to blood vessels, muscles and skin. It is due to the combination of these advantages when using the VASER device that you can work with the human body like a sculptor, carving out the reliefs of the body.

The postoperative period is usually no different from that after other lipomodeling methods, except for the duration of rehabilitation. Since the VASER method is low-trauma, the rehabilitation period is faster. As for general recommendations, they are the same as after other liposuction methods: diet and dietary control, use of special compression underwear, use of hardware methods in the postoperative period aimed at stimulating lymphatic drainage, skin contraction, and reducing swelling.

Lipomodeling is performed through skin punctures, usually their length does not exceed 1-15 cm. So, as a result, the scars formed after such punctures will be almost invisible a year after the operation. Moreover, all punctures are located in places of natural anatomical folds (groin, gluteal folds, armpits, folds under the breast, umbilical fossa) or in those places that are hidden by underwear (bikini line, area of ​​the lower bar of the bra).

Unfortunately, there is practically no plastic surgery that would bring results forever, and lipomodeling is no exception. Weight gain after lipoplasty can, of course, negate the results of the surgery. This can be avoided by sticking to a diet and not forgetting about physical activity! Lipomodeling should be considered as the main stage of body contouring, but at the same time, to achieve good results, a lot is in the hands of the patient!

Lipomodeling is best done after pregnancy and childbirth, if conception is planned in the near future. During pregnancy, adipose tissue is rebuilt, many women gain weight. So it is most logical to perform the operation after childbirth and the end of breastfeeding. As for cesarean section, this is not a contraindication for the operation, on the contrary, often after a cesarean section, the scar is “welded” to the underlying tissues and a fat fold forms above it. This problem can also be solved during lipomodeling.

The issue here is not even about weight, but about the ratio of weight and height of the patient. This indicator is called the Body Mass Index - BMI. The higher this indicator, the more developed the fatty tissue. For example, a BMI within 20-25 is normal, with an index from 25 to 35 - we are already talking about obesity of the 1st and 2nd degree, 3rd degree - BMI over 35. Lipoplasty is not a method of combating obesity and losing weight, it is a method of contour plastic surgery. Removal of fatty tissue within 6% of the total body weight is considered relatively safe. For example, for a girl weighing 65 kg. this is about 4 liters of fatty tissue.

Lipomodeling can be used for thin girls in the case of localized fat deposits in those areas where it is not possible to remove fat with the help of sports. As a rule, these are the areas of the breeches and abdomen.

After any method of lipomodeling, unevenness of the relief may be observed for some time. This is due to uneven swelling, local hematomas and various technical nuances. Hardware rehabilitation methods help to cope with this situation, which we prescribe to all patients without fail.

If the patient is ready for surgery, there are no contraindications, immediately after the consultation you can set a date for the surgery and begin preparation. As a rule, it takes no more than a few days to prepare for the surgery.

Most often, general multicomponent anesthesia is used. The exception is work with small areas. We choose the type of anesthesia based on the duration of the operation and the scope of the operation. For example, lipomodeling of the abdomen is performed only under general anesthesia, and the correction of the "double chin" can sometimes be done under local anesthesia.

The so-called "beer belly" is, unfortunately, not only subcutaneous fat. There is such a term: Visceral fat is adipose tissue that surrounds the internal organs of the abdominal cavity. As a rule, it is visceral fat that is responsible for the appearance of barrel-shaped "beer bellies". You can remove such fat only with sports and diet!

Of course, and this is one of the advantages of lipomodeling! The fat that we remove during the operation, after special preparation and processing, can be injected into areas where there is not enough volume, for example, into the buttocks, mammary glands, shins, even into the face!

You can fly on a plane after the operation in 2 weeks, but it is best to postpone a beach holiday for at least 2 months!

Yes, if necessary – it is possible! But, of course, each subsequent operation in the same area is more complicated both technically. And from the point of view of rehabilitation! So it is better to immediately tune in to maintaining the achieved result than to think about the possibility of a repeat operation!
