Why Only Highly Expert Plastic Surgeons Should Perform VASER Liposuction?

"VASER liposuction is a minimally invasive, safe procedure that gives the best body contouring results, requiring extreme precision, gentle post-op care to avoid the unwanted discomforts!"

VASER liposuction is a cutting-edge fat removal procedure that works on persistent fat deposits. VASER stands for vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance that works on ultrasound technology to break down fat cells by sending out ultrasonic frequency waves. Once the fat cells have been broken, the plastic surgeon can remove excess fat through suction, a part of the liposuction procedure.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MS M CH., Managing Director of Kaesthetics, Bangalore, has expertise in performing VASER liposuction techniques and has satisfied hundreds and thousands of patients across the country.

"Dr. Karishma Kagodu noted that if the individual is not healthy, they may be at greater risk for VASER complications. For example, a patient's previous medical history of cardiac arrhythmias, immunodeficiency disorders, excessive bleeding, seizure disorders, or a substantial history of pulmonary emboli (blood clots of the lungs) or deep vein thrombosis (blood clots of the legs) can trigger a higher risk for VASER procedure complications. However, attending an initial assessment test is recommended to know your health status to undergo the VASER liposuction successfully."

The risks associated with VASER liposuction: Prevention and the Treatment

After a VASER liposuction treatment, it is crucial to note that you may have some swelling, pain, bruising, ache, numbness, tightness, or skin irregularities. Like other plastic surgery procedures, these common side effects require gentle post-op care and instruction to achieve a smooth recovery. Therefore, patients can expect visible results over a short period, generally after four to six weeks following the VASER procedure.

Dr. Karishma may also recommend a systematic lymphatic drainage massage within the first two weeks to recover faster.

Following is the list of risks/complications that should be considered while undergoing VASER liposuction:

1.    Alcohol: Consumption of alcohol during the healing period is prohibited because it can cause swelling, blood thinning, bruising, and bleeding with haematoma. You are advised to abstain from alcohol for at least two weeks before and after following your VASER liposuction.

2.    Allergy: Allergic reactions to the drugs used in liposuction are rare but may occur, which requires medical history and thorough evaluation of the patient before surgery.

3.    Asymmetry: During VASER liposuction, meeting contour regularity is of utmost importance, but achieving absolute symmetry is difficult. Meeting the proper contour and symmetry requires extreme precision from the plastic surgeon. Even if the expertise of a plastic surgeon is applied, the patient may notice slight asymmetry, which can be addressed in most instances.

4.    Body dysmorphia disorder: Body dysmorphia is a psychological disorder where a patient is worried about flaws in their appearance. Patients who report BDD are advised to get the treatment done first to address the condition, including the recommendation of cognitive behavior therapy and a medication called SSRIs, e.g., citalopram and fluoxetine (Prozac).

5.    Bleeding: Bruising and bleeding in the days after your VASER liposuction is a common side effect. An experienced plastic surgeon will know when to leave sufficient subnormal support behind by not being over-enthusiastic, removing all the fat and collagen, and damaging the blood vessels (and nerves).

6.    Blood clots: It is advised that you do not bend your legs for an extended period during the recovery period. Wearing compression garments helps reduce/address blood clotting during recovery.

7.    Scarring: Scarring is the most common risk that can be presented after an incision on the human's skin. The scarring can be followed by hypertrophic or keloid scars, depending on the extent of the procedure. The expert plastic surgeon will use a stealth incision not more than 6-7 mm in length. Further, the incisions are sutured well, resulting in optimal healing. The patient must note that sutures are dissolvable or can be removed after five days. Still, the presented scars can be effectively treated with post-op measures followed by creams or steroid injections. Fortunately, hypertrophic and keloid scars are extremely rare and rarely, if ever, treated with steroid injections.

8.    Unsatisfactory results: The unsatisfactory results mean you are unhappy with the achieved body contour. It is important to note that you are unlikely to get good results if you are not following a healthy lifestyle followed by a balanced diet and exercise. Yet, if you choose the right, qualified, experienced plastic surgeon, the chances of contour irregularity are almost negligible. One must know that aging, genetic laxity, and genetic predisposition might affect less than desired outcomes. So, be realistic with the VASER liposuction results.
