Vaser liposuction has become one of the most common procedures in liposuction procedures, what is the vaser technique and what is the vaser liposuction cost? Therefore, allow us to take you on a tour between the following lines, during which we will show you what is the process of vaser liposuction, the method for determining the price, and the idea that it varies from one center to another.
What is the vaser liposuction process?
Vaser liposuction is one of the techniques that uses ultrasound, which works by sending vibrations that melt fat before suctioning it, where the fat is dissolved by ultrasound first, then it is suctioned without causing any damage to the body.
Vaser liposuction is more and more popular than other liposuction procedures, and Vaser liposuction is performed through a thin tube that emits ultrasound energy, preserves nerves and blood vessels, reduces bruising, and reaches more precise places of fat cells.
Target areas include thighs, calves, ankles, hips, buttocks, abdomen, back, flanks, arms, neck, and under the chin, it is also a great procedure for treating gynecomastia (male breast reduction)
vaser liposuction cost
Vaser liposuction cost varies according to several factors, and these factors are related to the following:
- The surgeon’s experience and qualifications.
- Geographical area of the surgeon and clinic.
- The patient’s health status and what will be done. Abdominal liposuction is undoubtedly different from liposuction for buttocks or arms only.
The Vaser liposuction cost in Dr. Ali Gaber’s clinic ranges on average from 8000 to 12,000 Egyptian pounds per area, which may be a very simple cost compared to other centers outside Egypt, which exceeds 1000 dollars per area, and sometimes reaches 2500 dollars for a region within the United States or East Asian countries.
Now, you will be wondering, why such a big difference in vaser liposuction cost, is it better quality, greater skill, or is it just a difference within the geographical area?
The pros and cons of vaser liposuction
Positives:
- The sound waves target the fat without damaging the surrounding tissue. This makes sebum extraction easier and more uniform, resulting in smoother skin.
- You will have less swelling and bruising after the procedure using Vaser HD liposuction compared to traditional liposuction, which needs more powerful hand movements to break down the fat.
- Recovery is less painful and lengthy than traditional liposuction because the nerves and tissues around the treatment area are less likely to be disturbed. Patients who have had surgeries in the Kingdom may need only a few days to recover (although they will need up to two weeks of downtime if you have treated multiple areas).
Negatives:
- The swelling can take three to six months to completely disappear until you see the final results.
- There are some risks of connective tissue formation after liposuction for VASER, especially if the surgeon is not fully experienced with this technique.
- As with all body sculpting procedures, if you gain weight after the procedure, the remaining fat cells can expand.
- You should wear a compression garment while recovering. It will be uncomfortable at first, especially if you’ve got a VASER lipo 360. Patients feel more comfortable putting on clothes rather than taking them off, say the surgeons.
What happens during vaser liposuction?
- Vaser liposuction will be done under general anesthesia (so that you are completely asleep) or sedation with intravenous sedation.
- First, a mixture of saline solution is injected directly into the treatment areas as this solution expands the fat compartment and constricts small blood vessels to help start the breakdown of fat tissue.
- The surgeon makes a small incision inside the treatment area and inserts a skin protector (a small rubber stopper) before inserting the ultrasound probe into the fatty tissue.
- After that, the fat deposits are removed using ultrasound energy, and then liposuction using a liposuction cannula and this method is easier than traditional liposuction.
What is the difference between Vaser liposuction and energy liposuction or laser liposuction?
Energy-assisted liposuction (or PAL) uses rapid vibrations (through an oscillating handpiece) to interrupt fat cells without heat, while vaser relies on ultrasound energy waves to induce the task accomplished (and generate some heat within the procedure).
All liposuction procedures begin with the injection of a swollen fluid or a moisturizing solution into the treatment area to control blood loss and help reduce post-operative pain.
Before removing stubborn fat, many surgeons will use some form of instrument to emulsify the fat and separate it from the surrounding tissue.
Dr. Ali Gaber who is the best plastic surgeon in Egypt says, “The use of PAL and VASER is one of the best methods used to melt fat easily, noting that the heat generated by the vaser often makes it preferable to dissolve stubborn fibrous fats, but the vaser device may require a somewhat longer incision.” “Indicating if I use PAL technology, the slit used is 2 to 3 millimeters regardless of The volume of the vial used. But the incision used in the vaser is slightly larger, to fit the rubber stopper that protects the skin from the warmth of the cannula.”
Skin tightening is not the most important goal of Vaser Lipo. “The ultrasound machine does generate some heat, but there are some different studies on whether it actually causes any skin tightening,” says Dr. Ali Gaber.
If sagging skin can be a concern, plastic surgeons will generally combine liposuction with a separate radiofrequency-based procedure, such as BodyTite or Renuvion.
Because the targeted fat cells are destroyed by ultrasound and removed, the results of VASER liposuction are permanent, as long as you maintain your weight after surgery and to prolong your results, make sure you follow healthy lifestyle habits after surgery.
What is the recovery period after VASER liposuction?
- Most people need 1-2 weeks off after the lipo procedure due to swelling, bruising and pain.
- The recovery time depends on the extent of the plastic surgery performed as if the target area is only your arms, the recovery period will be only three to five days.
- For VASER 360 Lipo for the whole torso, recovery can take up to two weeks.
Most surgeons recommend wearing a corset to control swelling and help shape the treated areas. It will be uncomfortable at first, but it’s easy to wear it under your clothes for four to six weeks or more.
