Lipo VASER® is a minimally invasive, ultrasound-assisted liposuction technique designed to address and change body contours

Is VASER Liposuction Right for You?

VASER Liposuction is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have localised areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates typically:

• Maintain a healthy lifestyle but have stubborn fat deposits that won’t go away Have good skin elasticity, which helps achieve smoother contouring results
• Are in overall good health, with no medical conditions that could affect healing
• Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. VASER Liposuction designed for body sculpting, not major weight loss.

What to expect when choosing  VASER Liposuction

Initial Consultation:

• Your journey starts with a personalised consultation with Dr. Mistry, where he will:
• Evaluate your areas of concern and discuss your aesthetic goals.
• Review your medical history and overall health to determine your suitability for VASER Liposuction.
• Explain the procedure in detail, outlining its benefits, potential risks, and expected outcomes.
• Address any questions or concerns you may have to ensure you feel informed and confident about your decision.

Dr. Mistry will ensure that you fully understand the process and answer any questions you may have.

Personalised Treatment & Procedure Details

If you choose to proceed, Dr. Mistry will develop a customised treatment plan tailored to your goals. This may involve pre-operative tests to confirm your suitability for the procedure.

The Procedure:

• Anaesthesia: VASER Liposuction is performed under either general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of treatment.
• Incisions: Small, strategically placed incisions are made in the targeted areas to optimise results while minimising scarring.
• Fat Removal: High-frequency ultrasound waves emulsify fat cells, making them easier to remove. This technique helps preserve surrounding structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues, reducing postoperative bruising and swelling. The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out for precise body contouring.

Post-Operative Care & Recovery

• Following the procedure, Dr. Mistry will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your healing process. This may include:
• Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments to minimise swelling and aid in tissue adaptation.
• Medication Management: Taking prescribed medications to control pain and reduce inflammation.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Attending scheduled check-ups to monitor your recovery and ensure optimal results.

Recovery times vary based on the extent of the procedure, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks. Swelling gradually subsides over time, with final results typically visible within a few months as the body adapts to its new contours. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help preserve the results of VASER Liposuction.

Dr. Mistry and his team will be available throughout your recovery to provide guidance and address any concerns.

Possible Risks and Complications

Potential complications include:

• Skin Burns or Injury: The ultrasound waves used in VASER generate heat, and if not properly controlled, there is a risk of burns or skin damage.
• Seroma Formation: Fluid accumulation under the skin may lead to seromas, which could require drainage if they do not resolve on their own.
• Skin Necrosis: In rare cases, improper application of ultrasound energy may cause tissue damage, leading to skin necrosis.
• Nerve Damage: Some patients may experience temporary or, in rare cases, permanent numbness or tingling in the treated areas due to nerve irritation.
• Fat Embolism: Although rare, fat cells can enter the bloodstream and travel to the lungs or brain, posing serious health risks.

Dr. Mistry takes every precaution to minimise these risks and will discuss safety measures during your consultation. Following post-operative care instructions closely can further reduce the likelihood of complications

Common Risks and Complications:

While VASER Liposuction is considered a minimally invasive procedure, some temporary side effects and risks may occur:

• Swelling and Bruising: Common after the procedure, swelling and bruising typically peak within the first few days and gradually subside over several weeks.
• Pain or Discomfort: Mild to moderate discomfort is expected in the days following surgery but can usually be managed with prescribed pain relief.
• Temporary Skin Irregularities: Some patients may experience temporary skin dimpling or rippling as the body adjusts to changes in fat distribution. This often resolves over time.
• Scarring: Although incisions are small and strategically placed, some scarring may occur, particularly if healing complications arise.
• Uneven Results or Contour Irregularities: In some cases, slight asymmetry or uneven fat distribution may occur, which could require additional treatments for refinement.

Dr. Mistry and his team take great care to minimise these risks and will guide you through the recovery process to optimise your results.
