Liposculpture

VASER- Assisted High-Definition Liposculpture (VAHDL)

                    Normally, metabolism of general people will be poorer when they are older causing accumulation of excess fat in many body parts, for example, abdomen, hip, bud, thigh, upper arms, neck, etc. This fat accumulation will change our figure and we will not be attractive and charming as we were young.

Procedures of Liposculpture
The part of body demanded for conducting liposculpture must be specified. In the vent of one area with a small amount of fat, anesthetic may be used. In the event that there are many parts of body requiring liposculpture with large amounts of fat, this surgery must be conducted with anesthesia. Skin will be drilled as a hole with the size of 0.5 millimeter for inserting liposuction needle and fat will be suctioned by VASER. After finishing, such hole will be stitched with 1-2 stitches. The duration of liposculpture is based on positions and quantity of fat.

Postoperative Care
Elastic bandage must be worn for tightening skin after fat suction for at least 48 hours in order to reduce edema and press the cavities caused by fat suction to be attached to one another without leaving any lymphoedema. Subsequently, you can wear elastic bandage for 15-30 days further for accelerating recovery. For better result, you have to wear elastic bandage while working or performing normal activities but they must not be violent and you should not move any part that is suctioned.

 

Suggestions

               Liposculpture is not weight loss therefore you are required to do exercise to get good result of liposculpture in order to tighten your skin without any wrinkle and sagging. After liposculpture, you will get a slim, firm, and attractive body back.

Liposculpture is a kind of surgery that has been highly preferred by many countries whereas liposculpture technology has been changed during these 30 years. In 1985, Ultrasound assisted lipoplasty or UAL was initiatively applied to liposculpture and the principle of this technology is a kind of lipolysis with specific frequency for each type of fat without damaging any blood vessel and nerve that is safer than the traditional liposculpture. After attacking with frequency, fat cells will be vibrated and broken before becoming fluid for suction.

 

VASER- Assisted High-Definition Liposculpture (VAHDL) is the use of VASER for conducting High Definition Liposculpture that can help to design muscles more clearly with lower tissue destruction and more gentle suction.

To conduct VAHDL effectively, you have to understand on anatomy of each internal muscle and external shape of muscle in order to adjust and utilize benefits of liposculpture for building attractive figure.

  2. Pulmonary Thromboembolism
  3. Infection
  4. Anemia
  5. Hematoma
  6. Fat embolism
  7. There may be some burnt skin caused by laser.

 

Possible problems that can be found in long term after surgery:

  1. Fibrosis: It can be fixed by massaging or ultrasound.
  2. Asymmetries
  3. Poor healing
