During a VASER® procedure, the area to be treated is filled with a medicated solution. The fat cells are then treated with ultrasound energy and are removed from the body through a gentle suction process. The surrounding tissues are left intact, giving you the smoother contours you want with less pain and recovery time than traditional liposuction.
The procedure begins with the administration of a local anesthetic to numb the area being treated. Following that, the VASER Liposuction system employs specialized ultrasound energy (distinct from radiofrequency or laser energy) to efficiently break down and transform the fat cells in the targeted area into a liquid form.
Patients usually return home the same day of their VASER liposuction procedure. It is common to experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treatment area. Compression garments should be worn to minimize these side effects and promote healing. Most patients may return to work and other regular activities after a few days or as soon as they feel comfortable. However, strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for several weeks.
VASER liposuction patients will notice their results once the swelling and bruising subside, which usually takes one week. Any residual swelling should dissipate within a few months. The incisions created during the procedure are quite small, so they are unlikely to produce noticeable scarring. The effects of VASER liposuction are long lasting as long as the patient maintains a stable weight after surgery.
