Vaser and Laser Liposuction

What are Vaser and Laser Liposuction?

Both Vaser and Laser Liposuction, like Traditional Liposuction, aim to remove fat from certain areas of the body through suction.

Vaser Liposuction:

Vaser Liposuction, which stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance Liposuction, uses Ultrasound waves to disrupt the bonds between the fat cells, which makes the removal of the fat cells easier and more effective.

Laser Liposuction:

Laser Liposuction dilutes the fat under the skin using a laser, which makes the fat removal easier, similar to Vaser Liposuction.

What are the conditions for Vaser and Laser Liposuction?

Both Vaser and Laser Liposuction, like Traditional Liposuction, require the patient to be able to undergo local or general anesthesia. The patient should be within 20 - 25 lbs (10 kg) of their ideal weight as neither Liposuction is a weight loss surgery. Additionally, both Liposuction surgeries help equalize uneven fat distribution in the patient’s body.

How are Vaser and Laser Liposuction performed?

Both surgeries start by general or local anesthesia being administered.

Vaser Liposuction:

Ultrasound waves are applied to shred and liquify fat cells, making them easier to take out. Small incisions are then made, and the liquefied fats are vacuumed out through a small tube, cannula.

Laser Liposuction:

A laser is inserted into the fat tissue underneath the skin through a small incision. The laser melts the fat cells, liquifying them. The surgeon then inserts a narrow cannula through the incision, which is used to vacuum out the liquefied fat.

Tube drains might be placed at the end of the surgery to prevent the accumulation of blood or other body fluids. Both Vaser and Laser Liposuction, on average, take an hour per area.

What are The Things To Be Considered After Vaser and Laser Liposuction?

Exactly like Traditional Liposuction, pain, swelling, and bruising are to be expected after both Vaser and Laser Liposuction. After the surgery, the patients are recommended to:

  • Wear compression garments that are provided after the surgery, for the first few weeks after surgery to help decrease swelling.
  • Minimize exposure to sunlight and heat, as they might exacerbate swelling.
  • Avoid strenuous physical activity for two weeks after surgery.

It might take 2 to 3 weeks for the swelling to go down, and the results of the surgery to be visible.

What Are The Risks of Vaser and Laser Liposuction?

While Vaser Liposuction is less invasive than most Aesthetic surgeries, it still has risks associated with it. These risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Fluid accumulation near the skin, Seroma
  • Bleeding
  • Fat embolism
  • Contour irregularities.
  • Blood clots
  • Infection
  • Swelling
  • Poor wound healing
  • Scarring
  • Changes in skin sensation
  • Damage to nerves, blood vessels, and muscles.
  • Adverse reaction to anesthesia

I was at Medistanbul hospital for Dr. Funda and I met with a translator called MORGAN! He Is the best interpreter ever! He is so helpful, friendly, kind, and knowledgeable! He answered all of my questions and made sure I was well taken care of as well as my mother. He also is very funny and made me feel comfortable. It was an amazing experience! If you ever come to Medistanbul Hospital you must ask for Morgan! He goes above and beyond!

Kayleigh reviewed Excellent experience

I cannot fault a single thing about my whole experience with Booking Surgery. From initially reaching out and discussing everything with my co-ordinator, to actually booking my surgery, getting all the pre-op info, all the way to the hospital stay and the surgery itself it was fab the whole way through. The hospital was lovely and clean (felt more like a high class hotel than a hospital), every staff member so helpful and friendly, and my surgeon Dr Katar was out of this world. On the return myself and my companion were helped through check in at Istanbul airport by our lovely driver. My surgery was August 27th, so I’ve now been home for a week in which time I’ve had a follow up with the dietician and a check in with my co-ordinator. If you’re considering gastric surgery abroad I’d urge you to check out Booking Surgery. The entire visit is hospital-based so you’re in the best care, everything is made as comfortable as possible, and all post-op meds are provided to bring home. I honestly can’t think of a single negative thing to say and I’m genuinely grateful for such a wonderful experience.
