Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (VASER)
Vaser liposuction is the removal of excess fat tissue in the body by medical intervention. To achieve slimming with Vaser technology, you can agree with experienced plastic surgery specialists such as Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Özgen Kıvanç. In this way, you will not jeopardize your general health while achieving aesthetic effects such as body shaping effect.
What is Ultrasound Assisted Lipsuction?
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction, known as Vaser liposuction, is an innovative method in which the classical liposuction method is supported by ultrasound. Thanks to the ultrasonic liposuction method, the liposuction process can be made easier, painless and effective. Thanks to the ultrasound-assisted liposuction application using advanced liposuction liposuction technology, you can get rid of the regional adiposity problem that occurs in various parts of your body. The problem of regional adiposity is a very negative factor in body shaping and is very difficult to eliminate with healthy nutrition or exercise programs. Ultrasonic liposuction can help you get rid of this problem in a fast, easy and healthy way.
VASER Liposuction Application Methods
VASER liposuction is a medical intervention applied with methods different from classical liposuction techniques. This procedure, also known as ultrasonic liposuction, is an operation that differs from classical liposuction procedures due to various aspects such as the use of ultrasound waves and the use of different cannulas.
Vaser liposuction method can be applied using local or general anesthesia depending on the situation. After the application of antesthesia, the fat breaking effect of ultrasonic sound waves is used. With the breakdown of fat, precise fat removal is performed through cannulas or vacuums.
Who is Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction Suitable for?
The ultrasound-assisted liposuction procedure is suitable for individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 who have regional adiposity problems. In addition, to be a suitable candidate for ultrasound-assisted liposuction, you should not be obese or morbidly obese. The main reason for this situation is that although thinning is achieved with vaser technology, this method is not within the scope of obesity surgery, that is, it does not work in very extreme weight problems. In addition, just like the classical liposuction method, your skin elasticity must be high to benefit from ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
VASER Liposuction Candidate Criteria
The criteria for candidates for Vaser liposuction are as follows:
- Being over 18 and under 65 years of age (this age range may be adjusted depending on the individual case)
- Significant localized fat deposits
- Inability to resolve localized fat deposits through methods such as body contouring exercises
- A body mass index within normal range
- Skin elasticity suitable for liposuction
Situations Where Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction is Not Suitable
There are several situations where ultrasound-assisted lipsuction is not suitable. The first situation is that the individual is under the age of 18. Under the age of 18, the main reason why aesthetic operations such as vaser liposuction cannot be applied to individuals under the age of 18 is for legal reasons. However, ultrasound-assisted liposuction can be applied to individuals under the age of 18, albeit rarely, in line with factors such as the doctor’s recommendation and parental consent. In addition, skin elasticity is too low to withstand advanced liposuction technology and being overweight are also situations where ultrasound-assisted liposuction is not suitable.
Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction Methods
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction methods are medical interventions that generally work on the same principle. In these interventions, the effect of ultrasonic waves breaking down fats is utilized. The breakdown of fat prevents negative situations such as damage to muscle tissue during the liposuction process. In this way, patients who want to make muscle definition by getting rid of regional fat can be satisfied. In addition to all these, ultrasound-assisted liposuction methods can be discussed in a more detailed and informative way under several headings.
Ultrasonic Oil Disintegration Techniques
Ultrasonic fat shredding techniques are generally known as ultrasonic cavitation. The main purpose of these techniques is to create gaps between the cells in the adipose tissue by utilizing the effect of ultrasonic sound waves, that is, to break down the adipose tissue. It is much easier to remove the disintegrated adipose tissue with medical materials used in the liposuciton process such as cannulas. In addition, ultrasonic fat shredding techniques are considered under advanced liposuction technology because they are very advantageous innovative methods both in terms of effect level and in terms of not damaging muscle tissue.
Usage Areas of VASER Technology
Vaser technology is a technology that allows ultrasonic waves to be generated in a way that is specific to fat tissue, depending on factors such as the size of the fat tissue. Vaser technology is generally used for ultrasonic fat removal. The production of ultrasound waves suitable for adipose tissue with Vaser technology is very advantageous in terms of providing regional thinning in the name of muscle definition. In addition, since the breakdown of fat in vaser liposuction application facilitates the process, this technology may be the ideal method for individuals seeking precise fat removal.
Advantages of Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction application has many advantages. Since advanced liposuction technology is used in this application, many different advantageous results can be obtained in terms of aesthetics and health. Ultrasonic liposuction method is known as a more painless liposuction method compared to classical liposuction methods because creating gaps between fat cells and breaking the tissue during the procedure can help to remove fat more painlessly. In addition, ultrasound-assisted liposuction has advantages such as tissue preservation and allowing a shorter return to daily life. All these advantages can be discussed in more detail under several headings.
Precise Fat Removal and Tissue Protection
In the classical lipsuction method, fat tissue is removed by vacuum and cannulas. The removal of combined fat cells and large-sized adipose tissues through vacuum or cannulas may cause various damages in the area. However, in ultrasound-assisted liposuction application using advanced liposuction technology, the process is performed precisely as the fat tissue is broken down by creating gaps between the fat cells. Thanks to the ultrasonic fat removal process applied precisely, tissues such as muscle tissue are preserved.
Shorter Recovery Time and Reduced Bruising
One of the complaints of individuals in classical liposuction methods is the prolonged healing process and the occurrence of disturbing bruises. In classical liposuction methods performed in areas such as the arm area, the prolonged healing process and excessive bruising can be disturbing. In the ultrasonic liposuction method, which offers slimming with Vaser technology, the healing process is very short and the bruising is at a level that does not disturb.
Recovery Process After Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction
The healing process after ultrasound-assisted liposuction is very important to avoid problems in many areas from avoiding complications to reducing bruises. Fast recovery is related to what is done after liposuction application. Acting in accordance with your doctor’s recommendations and warnings will help you get through the healing process very quickly and easily. The things to be considered in the recovery process after ultrasonic liposuction and the details about the process can be discussed under several headings.
Postoperative Care and Recovery
During the care and recovery process after ultrasound-assisted liposuction surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to a few things. The first thing to consider is to follow the recommendations of your plastic surgeon very precisely. Other things to consider are resting for at least a few days and protecting the area from external factors that can cause damage such as heat or impact. By taking these into consideration, you can overcome the healing process in a short time and benefit from the body shaping effect of liposuction in a better way.
Reduction and Care of Scars after VASER Liposuction
Scarring after vaser liposuction may vary depending on the application area and what is done after the operation. In some areas where regional adiposity is experienced and vaser liposuction application is performed, there may be no scars as a result of good care. However, in some areas and in line with some factors, a minimal scar may remain. In order to reduce these scars, it is necessary to protect from the sun, use scar reducing medications and benefit from scar treatments recommended by plastic surgery specialists according to the situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
In which areas is VASER liposuction effective?
Vaser liposuction is an effective fat removal method that can be effective in many different regions. Vaser liposuction, which is supported by ultrasonic waves, is effective in areas such as abdomen, waist, arms and legs, just like the classical liposuction application. In addition, Vaser liposuction is one of the rare liposuction techniques with high effects in the breast area. Vaser liposuction can be used as an effective treatment method, especially in cases of increased fat tissue in the breast, such as gynecomastia, which has not progressed too much.
How long does the VASER liposuction procedure take?
The duration of the Vaser liposuction procedure may vary depending on the situation. Various factors such as the experience of the plastic surgeon in methods applied with advanced liposuction technology and the application area determine how long the Vaser liposuction procedure will take. In small areas such as the belly, the Vaser liposuction procedure takes an average of 40 – 45 minutes. In large areas such as legs and arms, the vaser liposuction procedure may take 3 to 4 hours. In addition, the size of the fat tissue to be removed, that is, the level of the individual’s regional adiposity problem, also determines how long the vaser liposuction procedure will take.
What is the difference between VASER liposuction and classical liposuction?
There are more than one difference between Vaser liposuction and classical liposuction. The first difference between these two methods is that the vasel liposuction method is an innovative method that falls within the scope of advanced liposuction technology. Another difference is that in the Vaser liposuction method, fat tissue is intervened with ultrasonic waves. The intervention of fat tissue with ultrasonic waves causes the fat tissue to be divided into multiple parts and can be removed much more easily with the use of vacuum or cannula.
Which anesthesia method is used during the VASER liposuction procedure?
General anesthesia is generally preferred in vaser liposuction procedure. The main reason for this situation is that in the vaser liposuction method, a large application area or more than one application area is worked on. The use of general anesthesia when performing ultrasonic liposuction on more than one area or a large area is important to protect the individual from unbearable pain and suffering. Vaser applied with general anesthesia
Liposuction is also known as painless liposuction method because nothing is felt during the application.
Does the skin sag or fluctuate after VASER liposuction?
Sagging or fluctuation in the skin after vaser liposuction depends on multiple factors. From the patient’s skin elasticity to the conditions under which the application is performed, many different factors determine whether problems such as sagging or fluctuations in the skin will occur after vaser liposuction. Therefore, names experienced in liposuction, such as Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Özgen Kıvanç, perform detailed examinations to determine whether the patients are suitable candidates for the application. In addition, the recommendations given by our doctor to his patients after Vaser liposuction can also prevent you from experiencing sagging and fluctuations in the skin.
Are there any scars after VASER liposuction?
The possibility of scarring after vaser liposuction is very low. Vaser liposuction and classical liposuction are also different from each other in terms of damaging the application areas because while tissues such as muscle tissue are not damaged in vaser liposuction application, such situations may occur in classical liposuction. Therefore, in vaser liposuction, the possibility of destruction in the area and therefore scarring is very low. However, in some cases, a minimal scar may remain after vaser liposuction, but this scar is likely to be so light in color and small in size that it is almost imperceptible.
