There are numerous surgeries that can help you get the desired result, which is otherwise not possible even with strict diet and exercise.
Liposuction, also known as ‘lipoplasty’, or simply ‘vaserlipo’, is a cosmetic surgery that removes stubborn fat from different parts of the human body. VASER stands for ‘Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance’ uses third generation ultrasound energy to get rid of extra sagging.
Vaser lipo is an advanced form of body contouring technique that selectively removes unwanted body fat. Instead of lasers, it uses ultrasound waves to target fat cells in the body. Before being removed from the body, the fat is broken down and melted. It is then removed from the body with the help of a ‘cannula’. This is done in such a way that it does not affect the surrounding blood vessels and connective tissues.
It was first introduced in March 2001; and to date more than 100,000 procedures have been performed in countries around the world and without reports of adverse effects so far. With the improved and advanced technique of vaser liposuction or vaser lipo it became a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery. In addition, in September 2002, the technique was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for body contouring.
Vaser lipo is performed in a sterile environment, such as a hospital, body clinic. Physicians can prescribe whether to perform intravenous sedation, local anesthesia, or general anesthesia. The areas of the body in which this surgery can be performed are the upper and lower abdomen, back, male chest, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, chin and neck, knees, calves, ankles etc.
Process:
1. First, a “tumescent fluid” is injected into the selected fatty area.
2. The fluid helps shrink surrounding blood vessels and numbs the area.
3. It then becomes easier to remove fat cells and reduces the risk of blood loss and bruising.
4. Small incisions are made in the body between the muscle layer and the skin, through which thin tubes or probes are inserted.
5. High-frequency ultrasound waves are transmitted through the probes that help loosen fat cells without disturbing connective tissues, nerves, and blood vessels.
6. The liquefied fat cells are then removed from the body through special suction tubes known as a ‘cannula’.
7. Depending on the number of areas to be treated, the vaser lipo procedure takes several hours.
