About Liposuction at Southern Surgical Arts 

VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. The ultrasound device allows the liposuction procedure to go smoothly and quickly. Vaser liposuction treatment areas include the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, waist, flanks, back, chest, arms, and under the chin. Liposuction is a great stand-alone treatment but can also be used in combination with other procedures such as abdominoplasty, lift procedures and many more.

Dr. Hi Def leverages his many years of experience in performing Vaser liposuction with tumescent fluid to maximize the results of your liposuction and improve the safety and efficacy of the fat removal process.

Tumescent Fluid

This saline solution contains customized amounts of epinephrine and lidocaine. Tumescent fluid is injected into the treatment area, swelling the area and allowing fat cells to be more accessible. The fluid provides many benefits. Epinephrine, a form of adrenaline, contracts blood vessels. This allows for less blood loss during the procedure, resulting in less post-procedure bruising.

You can anticipate a more comfortable and shorter recovery when tumescent fluid is involved in your procedure.

Tumescent fluid also acts as a local anesthetic, removing the need for general anesthesia. General anesthesia is known to cause uncomfortable effects after surgery such as nausea, drowsiness, and vomiting. With local anesthesia, you will feel yourself after treatment. You will still need someone to drive you home after the procedure but you will feel more comfortable.

Vaser Probe

After tumescent fluid is administered to the treatment area, a Vaser probe will be used to break up fat cells. This is accomplished with ultrasonic energy. Sound waves fluctuate the air bubbles present in the tumescent fluid. The movement of the bubbles helps to dislodge fat cells from the healthy skin and muscle tissue. Combining Vaser and tumescent fluid helps to make your procedure less invasive. In traditional liposuction, a cannula would be inserted under the skin and moved around aggressively to break up fat cells and remove them. Vaser and tumescent fluid help to prepare the fat cells for extraction so aggressive cannula movements are not required.

The Benefits of Vaser Liposuction

Vaser liposuction is a revolutionary addition to the liposuction procedure. Vaser helps maximize the efficiency of your surgery and allow for a less invasive treatment. Our patients love Vaser lipo because it helps them achieve their body goals right away. Results are immediate and can be enjoyed after a short recovery period.

Candidates

The best candidate for Vaser is a healthy individual with good skin elasticity. Ideally, the patient will not be a smoker or be able to take a break from smoking for a few months. Being within a healthy weight range is important as weight fluctuations can undo liposuction results.

Preparation

Dr. Hi Def will provide you with in-depth instructions during your consultation. Some of the steps you will need to take will include:

For your best results and a comfortable recovery, follow Dr. Deal’s instructions.

Vaser Liposuction Surgery

Your surgery will take between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on the treatment area. A half hour before your surgery begins you will take an oral sedative. This sedative will relax you and help you remain comfortable throughout the surgery. First, tumescent fluid will be injected into the treatment area. Small incisions will be made and Vaser will then be used to separate and prepare fat cells for extraction. Vaser will additionally tighten the skin and improve the degree of contouring Dr. Hi Def can achieve. The last step will include the sculpting of your body. Dr. Hi Def will remove fat cells and work meticulously to achieve beautiful results.

Once Dr. Hi Def has sculpted the area and is pleased with the result, he will apply bandages but leave the incisions open to drain over the next few days.

Recovery

The small incisions will be left open for 1-3 days so excess fluid can drain from the area. These incisions will heal in about 2-3 weeks. An elastic garment will need to be worn to keep swelling controlled as well as help the body adjust to its new shape. 

Bruising and mild swelling are common symptoms after liposuction. Keeping the treatment area elevated and taking brief walks will help diminish these symptoms. Your regular schedule, including work, can often be resumed after a few days. However, strenuous activities like lifting and exercise should be avoided for a few weeks to make sure you heal well and your results come out great!

Results

You will notice an improvement in your body right away. The area will be sculpted and look its best about six months after treatment. At the six month point, the area will have settled and your body will have adjusted to the new position. These results are long-lasting! Our patients maintain their Vaser lipo outcomes with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Cost

Vaser liposuction is a customized procedure that will be different in cost for each patient. A cost breakdown will be gone over in your consultation with Dr. Hi Def.
