What is Vaser Lipo and Liposuction?

Liposuction is one of the most common plastic surgery applications we do. The same technique is called by names such as lipoplasty, lipetomy, liposculpture. Liposuction is done to correct the contours of the body. For this, areas with excess fat are targeted, the targeted excesses are emptied and the transition to other body areas is softened. In order to get better results, the use of technological devices has been added to classical technique for the last few years. I now use the vaser system, which I think is more effective, in almost all my liposuction cases (Vaser Lipo). Thanks to the new systems, we both provide a more effective and sensitive fatty tissue discharge and facilitate the tightening of the skin in the discharged area.

What is it made for?

As a feature of your genetic structure, you can be an ideal liposuction candidate if you have extra fat accumulation in certain body areas or if you can not get rid of excess fat and contour impairment in certain areas of the body despite diets and sports activities. Lower and upper abdominal areas, lubrication around the waist called bagel, inner and outer areas of the thighs, inside the knees, arms, back, neck (tick), ankle and calf areas, and breast areas in men are the primary areas I intervene with vaser lipo.

How is it done?

Liposuction (liposuction) is technically relatively simple compared to other surgeries, but precise planning requires three-dimensional and artistic thinking for an aesthetically successful result. This application, which we can perform under general anesthesia or local anesthesia according to the size of the area to be treated and the number of regions, the patient's preference and the doctor's recommendations, must be carried out in a hospital setting. A few millimeter incisions are made around the areas to be applied for this surgery, which is made with metal instruments similar to a straw that we call a few millimeters thick cannula. By entering through these incisions, sterile fluid injection is made into the region with similar features as body fluids. These fluids make the application more homogeneous, smooth and without bleeding. If I plan to use the vaser system during the application, the excess oil in the region is melted with the vascular cannulas about three millimeters thick and the skin of the area is tightened. Immediately afterward, it is continued in accordance with classical liposuction technique and excess oil in the area is taken out with the cannulas. At the end of the operation, tight corsets, which will facilitate the desired healing of the application areas, are dressed and then the awakened patient is taken to the bed. The duration of the surgery, the type of anesthesia and the patient's characteristics are effective in the decision to discharge on the same day or to stay overnight in the hospital.

Postoperative…

Most of the time, postoperative pain is almost non-existent. The pain is at a level that can be easily overcome with ordinary painkillers. The rest period should be extended in direct proportion to the size of the operation. I would suggest that a patient with whom I intervened in many areas should have at least a five-day rest if possible. Return to daily life can take place immediately after these operations. Although it depends on the nature of the job, it is often possible to return to work within a few days. The most troublesome aspect of these applications is the corset application, which we can never compromise. That is why I have stated that the months we are in are suitable for liposuction and vaser lipo. It is an important comfort to bring about two months of corset dressing period, which is a difficult process to fold in hot weather, to fall and winter months. In this way, our patients get rid of their irritating excesses with little effort in total and have more natural and beautiful body lines.
