Intro

Introduction to Vaser Liposuction

Vaser Liposuction is an effective procedure whereby fat cells are removed permanently thus preventing fat to reassert itself in the treated areas. This effectively means that once an area is treated, Fat can no longer form in that area. This quick and effective process of Vaser Liposuction involves the process of using ultrasound waves to break up fat deposits so they can be smoothly removed away to bring forward a more contoured natural look that was previously hidden by excess areas of fat tissue
Vaser Liposuction can be treated on the following areas of the body where patients want to achieve a better contour and permanent fat loss:

Chin / Chest / Arms / Back / Love Handles / Stomach / Flanks / Bottom / Thighs / Knees / Calves / Ankles.

    Day of Vaser-Lipo Surgery

    Here’s a detailed explanation of what happens during the surgery:

    1. Pre-operative Preparation:

      • Second Consultation: Mr. Shoaib see you for your second consultation on the morning of your surgery to re-discuss your aesthetic goals. This will include a separate appointment together with our anaesthetist and nursing in your private room. 
      • Marking: Mr. Shoaib will mark the target areas on your body where fat removal is planned, ensuring precise treatment.
    2. Tumescent Fluid Injection:

      • Anaesthesia: Our consultant Anaesthetist will administer General Anaesthetic or Local Anaesthetic with Sedation. 
      • Solution Injection: A tumescent solution, which contains a mixture of saline, local anaesthetic, and epinephrine, is injected into the targeted areas. This solution helps to numb the area, minimize bleeding, and make the fat easier to break down.
    3. Ultrasound Energy Application:

      • VASER Probe: A small, thin probe that emits ultrasound waves is inserted through tiny incisions into the fatty tissue.
      • Fat Cell Breakdown: The ultrasound energy selectively breaks down fat cells while preserving other tissues such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
    4. Fat Suction:

      • Cannula Insertion: A small cannula (a thin tube) is inserted through the same incisions.
      • Fat Removal: The liquefied fat is gently suctioned out through the cannula, effectively contouring the body area. Mr. Shoaib’s precision ensures smooth and even fat removal.
    5. Sculpting and Contouring:

      • Fine-tuning: Mr. Shoaib will sculpt and contour the treated areas to achieve a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
    6. Closing Incisions:

      • Incision Closure: The small incisions are either left open to drain or closed with sutures. Some surgeons, including Mr. Shoaib, may prefer to leave them open briefly to allow excess fluid to drain, reducing swelling and bruising.
    7. Post-operative Care:

      • Compression Garments: You will be fitted with compression garments to reduce swelling, support the treated areas, and help your skin conform to the new contours.
      • Recovery Instructions: Mr. Shoaib will provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including guidelines on activity restrictions, wound care, and follow-up appointments.
    8. Recovery:

      • Initial Recovery: Most patients can go home the same day. Initial recovery typically involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
      • Long-term Recovery: Swelling may persist for a few weeks, and it’s important to follow Mr. Shoaib’s instructions for optimal healing. Light activities can usually be resumed within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few weeks.
    9. Follow-up Visits:

      • Monitoring Progress: Follow-up appointments with Mr. Shoaib are scheduled to monitor your healing process and ensure that you are recovering well. He will assess the results and address any concerns.
      •  

    Aftercare & Recovery Vaser-Lipo

    Aftercare and recovery following VASER lipo surgery are crucial for achieving the best results and ensuring a smooth healing process. Here is a step-by-step guide on what to expect and how to care for yourself post-surgery:

    Immediate Post-Operative Care

    1. Rest and Recuperation:

      • First 24 Hours: Rest is essential. Arrange for someone to drive you home and assist you for the first day.
      • Compression Garments: Wear the compression garments provided to reduce swelling and help your skin conform to the new contours. Keep these on as directed by your surgeon, usually 24/7 for the first few weeks.
    2. Managing Discomfort:

      • Pain Medication: Take prescribed pain medication as directed to manage any discomfort.
      • Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to the treated areas for 10-15 minutes at a time to help reduce swelling and bruising.

    First Few Days Post-Surgery

    1. Activity Level:

      • Light Activity: Begin light walking as soon as possible to promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots.
      • Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise.
    2. Wound Care:

      • Incision Care: Keep the incisions clean and dry. Follow your surgeon’s instructions on changing dressings and caring for the wounds.
      • Showering: You may be allowed to shower within a day or two. Pat the incision areas dry gently afterward.

    First Week Post-Surgery

    1. Monitoring for Complications:

      • Signs of Infection: Watch for signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge from the incision sites, and contact your surgeon if these occur.
      • Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with Mr. Shoaib to monitor your progress.
    2. Diet and Hydration:

      • Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced diet to support healing. Avoid foods high in sodium to reduce swelling.
      • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

    Weeks 2-4 Post-Surgery

    1. Gradual Increase in Activity:

      • Light Exercise: Gradually increase your activity level. Gentle exercise such as walking is encouraged.
      • Avoid High-Impact Activities: Continue to avoid high-impact exercises and activities that put strain on the treated areas.
    2. Compression Garments:

      • Continued Use: Continue wearing compression garments as advised, typically for at least 4-6 weeks, to help reduce swelling and improve skin retraction.

    Long-Term Recovery (1-3 Months)

    1. Resuming Normal Activities:

      • Gradual Return: Slowly return to your regular exercise routine as approved by your surgeon.
      • Final Results: Full results may take several months to become visible as swelling continues to subside and the body adjusts.
    2. Skin Care:

      • Moisturize: Use recommended moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and improve elasticity.
      • Massage: Gentle massages of the treated areas may be recommended to help reduce swelling and improve contouring.

    Ongoing Care

    1. Healthy Lifestyle:
      • Maintain Results: Maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise to preserve the results of your VASER lipo surgery.
      • Regular Check-Ups: Keep in touch with Mr. Shoaib for any concerns or follow-up evaluations to ensure long-term satisfaction with your results.

    By following these detailed aftercare and recovery steps, you can optimize your healing process and achieve the best possible outcome from your VASER lipo surgery with Mr. Taimur Shoaib.

    Risks Associated With Vaser-Lipo

    VASER lipo surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks. Here are the common risks associated with VASER lipo and how each risk can be minimised:

    1. Infection

    Infection can occur at the incision sites or internally where the fat was removed.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Sterile Techniques: Surgeons use sterile techniques and environments to reduce the risk of infection.
    • Antibiotics: Prophylactic antibiotics may be prescribed before and after surgery.
    • Post-operative Care: Following proper wound care instructions and keeping incisions clean and dry helps prevent infection.

    2. Bleeding and Hematoma

    Excessive bleeding can occur during or after surgery, and hematomas (collections of blood under the skin) may form.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Pre-operative Evaluation: Careful assessment of the patient’s medical history and medications to avoid those that increase bleeding risk.
    • Tumescent Solution: The use of tumescent solution helps minimize bleeding by constricting blood vessels.
    • Post-operative Monitoring: Close monitoring of the patient during the initial recovery phase.

    3. Seroma

    Accumulation of fluid in the treated area.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Drain Placement: Sometimes drains are placed to allow excess fluid to escape.
    • Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments as directed helps reduce fluid buildup.
    • Aspiration: In some cases, excess fluid may be aspirated with a needle.

    4. Numbness or Changes in Sensation

    Temporary or permanent changes in skin sensation, including numbness or hypersensitivity.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Careful Technique: Surgeons use precise techniques to minimize nerve damage.
    • Patient Education: Informing patients that some numbness is normal and usually resolves over time.

    5. Scarring

    Scarring can occur at incision sites.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Small Incisions: VASER lipo requires only small incisions, which typically result in minimal scarring.
    • Scar Care: Proper post-operative care, including the use of scar-reducing creams and protecting scars from sun exposure.

    6. Uneven Contours or Asymmetry

    Uneven fat removal can lead to asymmetry or irregular contours.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Experienced Surgeon: Choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon like Mr. Taimur Shoaib reduces this risk.
    • Precise Technique: Using VASER technology allows for more precise fat removal.
    • Follow-up Treatments: In some cases, touch-up procedures may be performed to correct minor irregularities.

    7. Skin Laxity

    Loose or sagging skin after fat removal.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Assessment of Skin Elasticity: Evaluating the patient’s skin elasticity before surgery to set realistic expectations.
    • Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments helps the skin conform to new contours.
    • Combination Treatments: Combining VASER lipo with skin-tightening treatments if necessary.

    8. Anaesthesia Risks

    Complications related to anaesthesia, such as allergic reactions or respiratory issues.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Anaesthesia Evaluation: Thorough pre-operative evaluation by our Consultation Anaesthetist.
    • Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of vital signs during surgery.

    9. Blood Clots

    Formation of blood clots, particularly in the legs (deep vein thrombosis).

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Early Mobilisation: Encouraging patients to move around as soon as possible after surgery.
    • Compression Stockings: Use of compression stockings to improve circulation.
    • Hydration: Maintaining proper hydration levels.

    10. Skin Discoloration

    Temporary or permanent changes in skin colour.

    How do we minimise this risk:

    • Gentle Technique: Using gentle techniques to minimize trauma to the skin.
    • Post-operative Care: Proper aftercare, including avoiding sun exposure.

    FAQ

    FAQ

    • How effective is Liposuction?

      With Vaser Liposuction the results are immediately visible after the procedure and after the swelling has subsided final results will be around 3 to 4 months after the treatment has been carried out. This means a new look after a week for the swelling to subside and a constant improvement over the months following.
    • How many Vaser Liposuction treatments will I need?

      Vaser Liposuction only requires one treatment per area. Those areas include Chin, Chest, Arms, Back, Love Handles, Stomach, Flanks, Bottom, Thighs, Knees, Calves, Ankles.
    • How long does a Vaser Liposuction treatment take?

      The length of the procedure will vary with each patient and the size of the area to being treated. However, we would normally state an average duration of 1 hour per full area.
    • Does Vaser Liposuction hurt?

      Vaser Liposuction is carried out under a local anaesthetic and many patients can enjoy simple entertainment by watching TV while the procedure takes place. Most patients experience their discomfort after the surgery and feel a little sore.
    • Are the results of Vaser Liposuction permanent?

      Vaser Liposuction is a procedure by where the fat cells within the treated area are permanently removed. Any major weight gain will generally be distributed proportionately over your body. However one must still maintain a healthy diet and sensible eating thereafter.
    • Will I lose a lot of weight from Liposuction?

      As previously mentioned, the fat removed is permanently gone but did you know that fat actually weighs less than water! The goal of Liposuction is to remove enough fat to help contour and shape your body and slimming areas where fat has proved stubborn to remove.
    • What is Advanced Lipo Sculpture?

      Advanced LipoSculpture is a diverse option in the Vaser Liposuction technique that is suitable for patients who want to achieve a more athletic appearance and to work their fat loss down enough to make their muscle definition more visible.
