Lipo Vaser High Definition Lipo is mainly a high definition liposuction technique that has the ability to combine suction with the use of ultrasound. In this way, to traditional liposuction is added the retraction effect generated by ultrasound.
This retraction allows a degree of definition that had not been seen before. Since 2010 the third generation Vaser has been used, which has proven to be the most efficient liposculpture technique in the world at the present time.
The Vaser Lipo technique is less introduced in Europe and Spain than in the United States and Latin America. In the coming years it is expected to revolutionize cosmetic surgery in our country. In 2017 in the United States, of the 300,000 liposuctions that were performed 20% were with this technique.
If this technique does not have a greater impact in our environment, it is for two reasons:
- It is an expensive technology.
- It requires a significant learning curve for the plastic surgeon.
However, its results are impressive, and this leads us to deduce that its implementation will be very solid.
The importance of high-definition Vaser Lipo
There are several points that demonstrate the importance of high definition in the treatment:
- Traditional liposuction is on its way out.
- Patients don’t just want to look thin, they want to look better.
- The patient is going to look much better immediately.
- Liposuction needed an artistic change.
- The results last longer than traditional liposuction.
Lipo Vaser use and procedure
This technique is used with the aim of achieving the maximum possible retraction of the skin, a fact that allows to have a smooth and very homogeneous skin in which no irregularities will be appreciated.
Appreciating the muscle lines, whether rectus (chocolate bar), obliques, pectoral, deltoid, biceps, triceps, buttocks…
Before the intervention it is necessary to have a controlled weight, with a body mass index below 30. Tobacco consumption must be reduced and alcohol consumption is prohibited in the 48 hours prior to the intervention.
Certain drugs that promote bleeding should also be avoided. Special vigilance should be exercised in situations conducive to low protein, such as vegan patients.
We recommend foreign patients to arrive in the country 48 hours before.
On the day of surgery, an 8-hour fasting period, antithrombotic prophylaxis with heparin and compression stockings should be performed: 3-5 days for medium-low risk and 7-15 days for high risk. Thermal blankets are also used to prevent hypothermia.
After the operation, a double girdle is placed, with foam in the marking areas. Drains are used (one in the sacrum in women; two in the abdomen and one in the sacrum in men), which are removed when they drain less than 30-50 milliliters per day.
Daily lymphatic drainage massages are performed for 10-20 days. From the 7th day, a weekly radiofrequency session is recommended to increase the level of retraction. After 21 days it is possible to use pressotherapy, since if there has been lipofilling, do not apply it before.
Which patients are suitable for Vaser Lipo?
All patients who are candidates for conventional liposuction – both men and women – are candidates for Vaser liposuction, even patients with mild/moderate skin sagging may be candidates.
Vaser Lipo Results
The results of Vaser Lipo are practically immediate, and after one or two months good results have already been obtained. However, to be able to see the final results you should wait around six months.
It should be noted that the recovery is fast: you can incorporate an office job in 7-10 days.
As for sports, cardio exercises can be practiced after two weeks, and weight training after three weeks. Intimate relations can be carried out between eight and ten days after the treatment.
