Selston Cosmetic Clinic is one of the first clinics in the United Kingdom to offer the vaser lipo surgery procedure. Regarded as the gentlest and most powerful form of liposuction available today, it gives outstanding results internationally and is the latest form of liposuction available. Ultrasound energy is used to break up fat while leaving the veins, nerves, blood vessels and surrounding tissue untouched.

This gives smooth beautiful results along with faster healing times and causes minimal pain, swelling and bruising. The convalescent times are comparable to the more traditional smart lipo procedure. The most popular areas with women are the abdomen, hips, inner thighs, outer thighs, buttocks and underarm. In men they are the abdomen, love handles and embarrassing male breasts.

Surgeons can now work with greater skill and accuracy and tackle finer parts of the body, not touched before. For example chins and knees can now be recontoured with a higher degree of precision. The process involves dissolving body fat and then removing it with a suction device.

The patented Vaser Lipo Liposelection technology efficiently breaks up fat with diffuse ultrasound energy. The energy is delivered using small, solid, grooved probes. The liquefied fat is then removed with suction and massage using tiny cannalue designed to give minimal tissue trauma.

The ultrasound only dissolves fat cells and does not affect nerves or blood vessels. The procedure is carried out under a local anaesthetic.

It is to be expected that there will be swelling for about 7 days and as it subsides, slow improvement over the next 6 months, as the skin grows and tightens. If the procedure is performed on Friday, you could be back at work on Monday. Light exercise is encouraged as general health and fitness helps the body heal faster.

In an independent study, patients having had the procedure, experience very few complications such as chnaged skin sensation, skin induration, skin necrosis, prolonged swelling or skin burns compared with other techniques..

So the choice of method does depend on how much fat the patient wants removed and vaser lipo can extract more in one procedure. However there is a limit to the volume that can be extracted.
