VASER Lipo

What is VASER Lipo?

VASER Lipo, also known as LipoSelection or Liposuction, is an advanced body contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body. What distinguishes the VASER Lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues - such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Innovative VASER technology breaks up fat while preserving these other important tissues to promote smooth results and rapid healing.

How does VASER Lipo Work?

First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels. A small incision is made in the skin through which a small probe is inserted. This probe transmits sound energy to break up fatty tissue on contact. The liquefied fat is then removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimise damage to surrounding tissues.

What are the Benefits?

VASER Lipo is a fantastic alternative to traditional liposuction:

Very effective at removing unwanted fatty deposits
The procedure is carried out under a local anaesthetic
Very few of the side effects associated with liposuction and it is much safer
Minimal downtime and quicker recovery

Preparing for the Treatment

An initial consultation is required with the doctor where a full medical history will be taken to assess your suitability. The benefits and potential side effects will be discussed in full as well as any concerns or queries you have.

What is the Treatment like?

VASER Lipo is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthetic; therefore you will remain comfortable and awake throughout the procedure. Patients may feel a tugging sensation during the treatment but should not feel pain.

How soon will I see my results?

VASER Lipo is a very effective treatment. Many patients report that they see results immediately after the procedure with the final result at around 3 to 6 months.

What is the recovery time?

After VASER Lipo treatment there may be some swelling, bruising or tenderness for a few days however this varies with the extensiveness of the procedure, the amount of fat removed, the number of sites treated, and so on. Many patients can return to work and gentle daily activities the following day.

After the treatment

It is very important that you follow the advice of your doctor carefully after the treatment to help to ensure the success of the procedure and reduce the risk of complications.

What about future weight gain / fat migrating to other areas?

This is a common misperception. Following your VASER Lipo procedure, should you experience weight gain or loss, it will tend to be proportionately distributed over your entire body. Once you have fat removed, it is gone and, assuming a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and exercise, it will not return or migrate. However, because fat is necessary to a healthy body, some essential fat layers in any given site remain untreated. If you do gain a significant amount of weight, the remaining fatty tissue will expand. Normal ageing changes can also be expected.

Is VASER Lipo right for me?

If you are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise, VASER Lipo can provide a solution. If you are healthy and seeking a fast, low-pain solution to losing stubborn fat deposits, the VASER Lipo procedure could be your answer. As with all medical treatments there can be limitations. However your doctor can assist you with your decision about potential areas for sculpting, anticipated results, and the recovery process.

The cost of VASER Lipo:

The cost of VASER Lipo will vary according to the size of the area which needs to be treated and the number of sessions required. Please discuss this during your free consultation with Dr Puneet Gupta at the Chiltern Medical Clinic.

What one patient said of VASER Lipo

"I have several girlfriends who were very interested in having liposuction done. But they were afraid of the pain, the recovery time, bruising, swelling. And now they are very encouraged because they have seen my experience, what I went through, which wasn’t much. And now they have seen my results and how pleased and happy I am, and they are actually a little envious of my results."
