To begin the procedure, small incisions are made into the anesthetized skin. Then, the area is injected with an anesthetic solution referred to as "tumescent fluid." Tumescent fluid numbs the target area and shrinks local blood vessels. It also temporarily expands the volume of the targeted area, making fat cells easier to remove. After about thirty minutes, the fat is now ready to be broken apart or melted or both.
Second Step
With VASER Lipo®, small-diameter cannulas are then inserted into the body through the incisions. By resonating at a high ultrasonic frequency, the cannulas literally shake loose fat cells, something like shaking fruits or ice cubes in a blender, to become liquidy — while leaving blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues unharmed.
OR
With ProLipo PLUS®, a laser and thermometer fibers are then threaded into a small diameter cannula and then inserted into the body through small incisions. As laser heats up the fat to melt it, the temperature is read out loud by a receiver every few seconds to guide the surgeon in probe positioning.
Third Step
Whether the fat is processed by VASER Lipo® or ProLipo PLUS® or both, the dissolved or melted fat, mixed with the tumescent fluid, is then removed from the body using gentle suction.
After the surgery, patients are prescribed a recovery regimen to promote maximum skin retraction and smooth results.
The main advantage of using VASER Lipo® or ProLipo PLUS® or both in performing liposuction is in the recovery and quality of results: more even, more natural, tighter and firmer.
