For many of our patients in San Diego, liposuction is the best way to finally eliminate fat deposits which have been resistant to diet and exercise. New advances in liposuction technology are making this procedure safer and more effective than ever through the use of ultrasound waves.
THE DIFFERENCE
In traditional liposuction, liquid is injected through the skin to help break up the fat deposits, then both liquid and fat are removed together from the body. While this procedure still contours the body, the necessary vigorous motion of the surgical tool, the cannula, can cause swelling, bruising and potentially cause damage to nearby blood vessels. Not surprisingly, this tissue damage results in more discomfort following traditional liposuction.
VASER liposuction, on the other hand, uses directed sound waves to liquefy targeted fat deposits. This process causes less trauma to the surrounding blood vessels and tissues. Because it causes less harm to surrounding tissue, VASER can be used in areas which were previously challenging for effective liposuction, such as the lower back or other areas where fat is intermixed with fibrous muscle tissue. Also, since the procedure is less invasive, the healing time is faster and has minimal pain or bruising.
Regardless of the technology offered at our practice in San Diego, liposuction results, like every other cosmetic procedure, ultimately depend on the skill of the surgeon involved. Although VASER has many clear benefits, the best type of lipo is whichever method is performed by the hands of an experienced surgeon.
