| VASER - the Ultimate Body Sculptor! |
|
Everybody recognizes Liposuction as a tool for body shaping but the entire procedure has undergone many changes and now with the new VASER system at Max Superspeciality Hospital we are at the cutting edge of technology. |
 |
Body contouring procedures date back to the late 1970s when Georgio & Fisher described a selective localized fat removal procedure using suction cannulas. Modern day liposuction was described by a French surgeon, Dr Yves-Gerard Illouz, in 1982. Recently in 2002, a new generation ultrasonic VASER Liposelection system became available and has revolutionized the way plastic surgeons do body contouring. It's not just about sucking out fat but it's all about artistically crafting the body contour! |
| What is VASER Liposelection? |
|
VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. |
 |
The idea of ultrasonic emulsification of the fat revolves around the concept of avulsion versus emulsion. In traditional liposuction, surgical skill cannot overcome the potential issues associated with the tearing or avulsion of tissues seen with a suction cannula. This traumatic avulsion technique is caused when the fat is introduced into the lumen of the cannula, and then sheared off by the movement of the cannula back and forth. This action produces non-selective tissue trauma, leading to unevenness of fat removal with inconsistent precision and potentially uneven results. This technique is associated with more painful recovery along with elongated recovery time. This contrasts with emulsion seen with delivery of ultrasonic energy, which is tissue selective for fat. Nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue remain relatively undisturbed, promoting smoothness of contouring with precise sculpturing and contouring finesse. |
| Vaser Clinical Outcomes |
|
| The technological advances seen in the VASER Ultrasonic Liposelection system produces excellent clinical outcomes with minimal complications. The benefits include better sculpting of tissues, especially of a fibrous nature, faster overall surgical time, significantly less work for the surgeon with less bruising and discomfort for the patient, secondary to the reduced tissue trauma from evacuation of the fat. Traditional Liposuction is soon going to be history! VASER liposelection is the gen-next body sculptor!! |
