VASER LIPOSUCTION IN LONDON
FOR A SLIMMER, SCLUPTED YOU!

In recent years, with the advancement of technology, new techniques of cosmetic and body contouring evolved. One such modern alternative to traditional liposuction is VASER Assisted Liposuction, commonly known as VASER Liposuction. The idea behind both traditional liposuction and VASER liposuction is to remove the unwanted fatty deposits beneath the skin to improve the aesthetics of an individual’s body. However, unlike traditional liposuction, where some patients undergo the surgery to lose weight, VASER liposuction is usually performed on healthy individuals who are looking for body sculpting or body contouring.

VASER liposuction is an FDA approved technique that was introduced in the year 2002. The technology uses sound waves (ultrasound) to loosen the body fat before proceeding with liposuction and body sculpting.

For the VASER liposuction procedure, the plastic surgeon uses a VASER ultrasonic probe to reach into the fatty tissue and gently break the fat cells down. Ultrasound vibrations break the fat cells that can then be removed gently instead of manual movements with a cannula, laser, or water pressure. A tumescent or saline liquid mixed with anesthetics is also injected into the treatment area. Using the cannula, the emulsified saline liquid mixed with fat is removed. Most of the loosened fat cells are thus washed out of the body, while some of the anesthetics remain in the body, giving pain relief post-procedure.

Unlike traditional liposuction, VASER liposuction is considered much gentler on the body by offering the plastic surgeon better control in helping the patient get a smoothly contoured body. VASER liposuction is also designed specifically to loosen the fat in an area without damaging the surrounding tissues. The use of saline solution helps to take the fat out in a relatively less painful manner. It also minimizes the risk of extensive bruising and bleeding that can occur with use of traditional method of liposuction.

4D Hi Def VASER Liposuction is a significantly more advanced form of VASER liposuction. It is one of the most modern and advanced liposuction techniques that is used not just to remove unwanted fat, but to sculpt and tone the body, giving it a chiseled, toned, and athletic appearance.

4D Hi Def VASER Liposuction involves the most sophisticated skills in liposculpture along with an advanced knowledge of male/ female anatomy to create those chiseled and toned body contours.

It precisely removes fat from specific areas of the body and is designed to leave a thin layer of fat over the underlying muscles to create “shadows” and “curves” that show off your shaped and defined body contours.

The goal of the VASER liposuction surgeon is to follow the unique contours of your muscles while trimming the excess fat, and then contouring your body shape and creating a 4D shape that looks natural.

The key difference between standard VASER Liposuction and the more advanced 4D Hi Def VASER Liposuction is that the latter seeks to specifically contour your body in a way that gives you a tight, toned, muscular, and athletic appearance. It seeks to bring much higher and precise definition to certain muscles, such as flanks, chest, or abdomen.

VASER Hi Def Liposuction can specifically target both the deep and surface level fat cells to achieve more precise body contours.

The ideal candidate for a VASER liposuction procedure must already be within their target weight range and should be leading a healthy lifestyle. Since it is a body contouring procedure, it is important for the patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle even after the procedure, if they want to retain their new contours.

VASER liposuction is suitable for both men and women who are prepared to continue with a healthy lifestyle post-procedure. The procedure is perfect for people looking to lose a few inches around specific body parts, such as abdomen, thighs, chest, or hips. It is also suggested for those who wish to tighten loose skin following natural weight loss.

Your VASER liposuction surgeon will check your previous medical history prior to recommending the procedure for body contouring. The technique will show desirable results only on men and women who are generally healthy and do not have any previous history of having cardiac issues, pulmonary emboli, excessive bleeding, seizures, immunodeficiency disorders, or deep vein thrombosis. People with such conditions are discouraged from undergoing this procedure due to a higher risk of surgical complications.

People who are on certain anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant drugs are also discouraged from undergoing VASER liposuction. Further, candidates with poor skin elasticity are also less suitable candidates for the procedure. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are also unsuitable candidates for VASER liposuction.

VASER Liposuction is quite appropriate for treating the thighs, knees, abdomen, love handles, flanks, arms, chest, chin, and neck.

VASER Liposuction is not intended to remove the internal visceral fat that is wrapped around the body organs like the liver, intestine.

The cost of VASER Liposuction in London depends on the following factors:

• Skill and experience of the liposuction surgeon
• Standard of the clinic/ hospital where the surgery will be performed
• Area/s to be treated
• Amount of fat to be removed
• Extent of body contouring involved

It is advised to get an initial consultation from a reputed VASER liposuction surgeon to know the cost applicable to your case and your eligibility for the procedure.

Since 4D Hi Def VASER Liposuction is a much more advanced form of liposculpturing/ body contouring, the surgeon performing the procedure needs to be exceptionally skilled and trained. Specialized equipment is also needed for the surgery. The time needed for the surgery is also longer because precise pockets of fat are targeted for removal, and advanced body contouring is performed.

The end results are therefore vastly different from traditional liposuction or even standard VASER liposuction.

VASER liposuction is well tolerated by most of the patients. There are reports of very minimal discomfort after the procedure. Most of the routine work can be resumed right away.

VASER liposuction is mostly performed using tumescent anesthesia alone or with sedation without the need for general anesthesia. In rare cases, general anesthesia may be needed.

Most people are able to go back to work within 2-3 days.

VASER liposuction is a very safe procedure with a skilled and experienced VASER liposuction surgeon,  but following complications may be seen:

• Infection
• Seroma formation
• Temporary numbness
• Asymmetry
• Contour irregularities

You will feel some pain and discomfort for 3 days to a week after the VASER liposuction. You will be asked to wear a compression garment for the first 6 weeks to ease the pain as well as to aid the healing process.

Some results can be seen immediately but there are continual changes that can be visible over the period of next few months, final results can take up to 4-6 months.

Post liposuction surgery, the patient’s skin will start to tighten. Therefore, the patients can expect visible results usually around the 6th week after the surgery. However, the results are best visible after a few months post-VASER liposuction procedure as the body takes 4 to 6 months to completely heal.

The fat removed after a liposuction is permanently gone from your body. For best results, strictly follow the care instructions of your plastic surgeon, prior to, and in the aftermath of the surgery. For lasting results, maintain a stable and healthy weight.
