Liposuction used to be the only way you could remove unwanted fat from your body. Today, there are various ways, such as LipoSelection, which is a new way to precisely and efficiently remove unwanted fat. Unlike liposuction, LipoSelection uses state-of-the-art technology to reshape your body by first liquefying then removing fat from the body – providing smooth results. Unlike the long downtime of liposuction, patients report low to minimal pain, swelling and bruising with LipoSelection.  

Is LipoSelection for me?
If you are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise, and don’t want to go through a painful liposuction, then LipoSelection can provide a solution. If you are healthy and seeking a fast, low-pain solution for stubborn fat deposits, then LipoSelection procedure could be your answer. Just like liposuction, there are limits to the amount of fat that can be removed.  Your doctor can assist you with your decision about potential areas for sculpting, anticipated results and recovery process.
Doctors have experienced great success in treating all the following areas: abdomen, thighs, knees, buttocks, hips, back, arms, male breasts, love handles, chin and neck areas.

What happens during LipoSelection?
First the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up fatty tissue with the system’s sound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy that fragments fatty tissue on contact, while leaving other important tissues relatively intact. Finally the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissue.

What is my anticipated recovery time?
This varies with the extensiveness of the LipoSelection – the amount of fat removed, the number of sites treated, and so on. It is important to establish realistic expectations through discussion with your doctor.

Step1

What is liposuction?

The media illustrates it as new cosmetic procedures to lose weight / remove fat from the body. The first step is to figure out what liposuction really is and if it is right for you.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes fat from different areas of the body. This is achieved using

Although liposuction is the most common name, the procedure is also known as body sculpting, lipoplasty, body contouring, tummy tuck (refers to the specific region of the stomach), tumescent liposuction (which refers to a particular technique of sucking fat out), among other names that are either body area or technology specific.

It is most often performed by cosmetic surgeons, as well as properly licensed dermatologists in the US. Surgeons generally recommend (or at least supposed to) liposuction as a procedure that is only for fat that remains re-removable after proper exercise and diet.

In the US alone in 2007, 456,828 liposuction operations were performed (Source:http://www.surgery.org/). This number continues to grow exponentially as new technology makes the procedure safe and more efficient, and while prices become more competitive as more surgeons offer this service.

Step2

Decide whether it is right for you.

If you have fat on your body that reside in pockets that are hard to remove through exercise or diet, then you may be a candidate for liposuction procedure.

Step3

Decide the body part you want to remove fat from

Do you want to remove fat from your arms? legs? thigh? chest? mid section? chin? There are different procedure methods and costs associated to different areas. (More information on costs an be found on Cheap Liposuction Prices)

Step4

Decide the type of liposuction that suits you budget and preferences

Do your research on what the costs are for each procedure. Different surgeons specialize in different body parts, and may have perfected a technique for a specific area.

Step5

Search for and select a surgeon you trust

Going in for a consultation and meeting the doctor is the best way to gauge whether or not you feel comfortable with the doctor. In addition, be sure to ask for before and after photos of his work (in addition to the ones on the website, as those usually are the best cases).

Write down all of your most important concerns on a book or journal, and be sure ask the doctor all of your most important questions. A good doctor should take the time to address your concerns in a professional and comfortable way, without pressuring you for a sale. Remember, the decision is yours.

Step6

Negotiate, plan and close the deal on finances

Any kind of plastic surgery, whether surgical or cosmetic is expensive. Liposuction is no exception. Be sure to expect at least $2000 in surgery costs, and sometimes much more (up to $20,000) for liposuction of multiple body parts.

Other costs associated with hospital bills, anesthesia and post operative care clothes should be included in the cost estimation. Expectations for surgery costs should be handled upfront, before the surgery date and not after.

Step7

Operation / Recovery Time

Your doctor should provide specific instructions for the date of the surgery. Be sure to have driving directions, and a friend to drive you back after the operations. If this surgery is being conducted in a different city or overseas, plan your stay accordingly for at least 3-4 days of immediate recovery time, and 1-2 weeks off work.

Step8

Help others / provide feedback

After your procedure, enjoy your new self! It is still you, just a better version of it. Be sure to join the plastic surgery forums, and provide feedback to others who are also thinking of joining you in your path. Become a reference-able patient to your doctor if he/she did a good job.

VASER Lipo is currently considered to be the globally preferred choice for patients considering undergoing a liposuction procedure. Also known as LipoSelection, it is an advanced method of contouring the body and removing unwanted body fat with selective precision.

It is a preferred alternative to the harsh methods of traditional liposuction because it uses the very latest technology, utilising ultrasound to lightly reshape your form.   What significantly differentiates VASER Lipo from the traditional methods of liposuction is that VASER’s technology allows it to be used to target unwanted fatty tissue whilst nerves, blood vessels and other tissue untouched. This allows for smooth results and a swift recovery for the patient.

Conversely, traditional liposuction is not such a pleasant experience for the patient. Traditional liposuction employs a metal tube that the doctor has to manually manipulate inside the patient’s body.  This can often lead to a great deal of bleeding, swelling and the destruction of surrounding tissue.  Because VASER Lipo involves the precise use of ultrasound technology, the same problems simply does not occur, leading to a quicker, safer and less invasive procedure.

One of the biggest problems with traditional liposuction is that after the procedure, the person could still have loose skin.  This could only be resolved by cutting the skin away.  With VASER Lipo, the skin can naturally tighten after the procedure to produce a more sculpted look.

VASER Lipo procedures do not require general anaesthesia.  There is no surgery, so the risks are greatly lowered and recovery times greatly increased.

Because the VASER Lipo treatment emulsifies the fat, it is simply suctioned away as a liquid, rather than the more traumatic traditional approach of sucking lumps of fat from the body. Sometimes a small amount of liquid fat is absorbed back into the body, but blood tests show it does not enter the bloodstream.

With traditional liposuction procedures, the patient may require several months in bandages.  With VASER Lipo, people can go back to work within a few days.  They will wear bandages for a few weeks, but that’s nothing compared to healing and recovery times of ordinary traditional liposuction.

The results of VASER Lipo are permanent, meaning that the body does not regenerate removed fat cells.  Some of the other top advantages of VASER Lipo are:

1. No overnight stay in hospital required
2. Procedure under local anaesthetic
3. Limited discomfort and quick recovery times
4. Minimal bleeding or bruising
5. Safest and most effective procedure available

VASER Lipo is suitable for use on fatty areas all over the body and is currently used to remove fat from areas such as the neck and chin area, breasts, chest and arms, thighs, hips and buttocks, and the stomach and waist.  It is a versatile non-invasive approach to removing unwanted fat and sculpting the body for a more pleasing physical appearance.

VASER Lipo is a safe and quick alternative to traditional liposuction with little discomfort and incredible results.
