What are the Areas that can be treated with VASER Liposuction?

Are you finding it hard to achieve that well-defined, athletic body you want even with strenuous diets and exercise? Then, you could consider getting Vaser liposuction in NYC. This advanced body sculpting technique is designed to provide men with a muscular, well-defined physique and women, with a slender, athletic-looking body.

While traditional liposuction requires you to go under the knife to achieve your body contouring goals, this minimally invasive procedure can provide impressive body contouring results with less downtime and shorter recovery. This procedure uses ultrasonic energy to remove stubborn fat safely and efficiently and helps you achieve a well-shaped body. Unlike other body contouring techniques, VASER Lipo is distinctive as it can remove targeted fat without harming the surrounding nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Leading NYC plastic surgeons offer this treatment as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia.

Areas That Can Be Treated With Vaser Lipo

VASER lipo can treat a wide range of body areas -from the chin to the ankle.

• Neck and chin: Submental and neck fat is often difficult to address with just diet and exercise. VASER Lipo’s incredible precision makes it a great option to remove stubborn fat from these troublesome areas. The procedure can help redefine and reshape the chin and neck quickly and effectively.
• Arms: Arm fat or ‘bat wings’ make many women self-conscious when wearing sleeveless and short sleeved clothes. VASER lipo removes stubborn fat from the arms and provides a shapelier, toned appearance. VASER hi-def liposuction is a great option for men who want a more athletic muscular shape to their arms. By removing excess fat and reshaping the arms, the procedure can make the muscles more evident.
• Love handles: Love handles or muffin tops can be one of the most challenging fat pockets to tackle with diet and exercise alone. This specialized liposuction procedure can remove stubborn localized fat and provide a smaller, more defined waist.
• Flanks: The flanks are a key area where VASER produces the most dramatic improvement. Stubborn back fat can create unsightly rolls and ridges, altering a person’s overall shape and appearance. Back fat appears in 5 areas:
  • Buffalo hump: Fat located on the upper back near to the neck.
  • Posterior axillary fat: An area of fat located on the outer portion of the back but up near to the armpit. For the best results, this area is usually targeted when performing arm liposuction.
  • Infra-scapular: An area of fat above the waist but below the shoulder blades (liposuction is mostly requested by females who have a bulge when wearing a bra).
  • Posterior waist fat: Fat located on the back just above the hips.
  • Lumbo-sacral fat: The fat pad located on the lower back just above the tailbone.

VASER is considered a great option for back due to its ability to target very specific areas.

• Abdomen: Pregnancy can cause build-up of abdominal fat. The abdominal muscles become stretched, causing a bulge to form on the lower abdomen that no amount of dieting or exercise can reduce. A C-section scar can also cause a bulge of subcutaneous fat above the incision. A VASER-assisted tummy tuck in New York City can provide impressive results for both men and women.
• Breasts: Excessively large breasts can be a burden for women, causing physical discomfort and emotional distress. It can lead to neck, shoulder and back pain, deep grooves in the shoulders from bra strap pressure, skin rashes under the breast crease, and difficulty fitting into clothing. Overly large breasts can also restrict women from playing their favorite sports or engaging in other physically demanding activities. Leading plastic surgeons offer breast reduction surgery in NYC using VASER to address this concern, by removing small areas of fat to correct asymmetry and position. Gynecomastia or overly large male breasts can also be addressed with VASER.
• Buttocks and Hips: This liposuction technology is an ideal option to target unwanted fat in the buttock and hip area and achieve a well-defined body.
• Thighs: VASER is an effective option to remove excess fat from the inner or outer thigh area and achieve slimmer, shaplier thighs.
• Knees and Ankles: ‘Cankles’ or thick ankles occur when fat deposits build up in the calf and ankles. Though commonly seen in women, men can also develop cankles. VASER lipo can address stubborn heavy, thick ankles and calves (cankles) that are resistant to diet and exercises, providing you with slimmer, shapely legs.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The VASER lipo system uses state-of-the-art, minimally-invasive ultrasound technology to break up the fat cells for easy removal. The treatment area is numbed with a special saline solution. A small incision is made at the treatment site to insert the device’s small probe and deliver high frequency sound waves into the fatty tissues. The vibrations from the probe cause fat cells to shake apart and mix with the saline solution. The liquefied fat is then removed from the body using a special cannula.

As the procedure uses just tiny incisions to remove fat, blood loss is minimal, and there is no rippling effect on the skin. VASER technology actually smooths the skin and improves its elasticity. With less bruising, the procedure comes with minimal recovery time. Moreover, the technology is unique in a way that it can differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues. The procedure removes excess fat while preserving these important tissues and promotes smooth results and rapid healing.

Benefits:

• Minimally invasive
• Removes fat effectively without affecting other tissues
• Refines and accentuates the appearance of the muscles
• Smooths out the skin in delicate areas like arms and neck
• Improved skin retraction and minimal blood loss
• Rapid healing
• Provides effective skin tightening effects

The procedure can provide impressive outcomes but only for the right candidate. Ideal candidates for this treatment are individuals who are healthy and at a stable weight.

Though VASER Lipo involves less recovery time, following the surgeon’s post-op instructions is essential for smooth healing. Usually, the procedure involves a minimum of 12 hours downtime. You may be advised to take 2-3 weeks of rest. As a part of recovery, your surgeon may advise you to wear special compression garments to improve your results. You should avoid exercising and all kinds of strenuous activities during the healing phase. The final results, which will be seen after 6 months, are permanent. The fat cells that are removed from the areas can never return and the overlying skin tightens up, creating a shrink-wrap effect on the overlying area. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to preserve your outcomes.

To attain optimal body contouring results, make sure that you are in right hands. For that, choose an AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practice with surgeons who are experts in the procedure. While it is a safe procedure, the results of VASER liposuction in NYC are highly dependent on the surgeon’s skill. A skilled and experienced surgeon will know exactly how the superficial anatomy influences external appearance and pay attention to critical details, which is crucial for superior results. Moreover, at the right practice, you can expect customized treatment and end-to-end care to complete recovery.
