The Science Behind Vaser Liposuction
Chicago Ultra Liposuction, powered by Vaser Liposuction technology, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses ultrasonic technology to selectively break down and remove unwanted fat from targeted areas of the body. The Vaser technology employed by Chicago Ultra Liposuction utilizes high-frequency sound waves to liquefy the fat cells, which are then gently suctioned out of the body through small incisions.
During the procedure, a small probe is inserted through a small incision in the skin and into the fatty tissue. The probe emits ultrasonic energy, which heats and liquefies the fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues, nerves, or blood vessels. This allows for more precise and controlled removal of unwanted fat, resulting in smoother and more contoured results compared to traditional liposuction.
The Vaser technology may also offer the additional benefit of stimulating collagen production in the skin. This collagen stimulation can help to tighten and firm the skin in the treated area, resulting in a more toned and youthful appearance. This makes Chicago Ultra Liposuction a popular choice for patients looking to achieve a more sculpted and defined physique, while also improving skin laxity. We can also include an additional revolutionary skin tightening treatment that makes saggy skin much less likely after your liposuction procedure.
Chicago Ultra Liposuction powered by Vaser Liposuction is a safe and effective procedure that offers patients a minimally invasive solution for removing stubborn fat and achieving a more toned and sculpted physique. With the advanced technology of Vaser, patients can expect a more precise and controlled treatment with minimal discomfort, bruising, and downtime.
Who is a Good Candidate for Chicago Ultra Liposuction?
Good candidates for Chicago Ultra Liposuction powered by Vaser Liposuction are generally healthy individuals who have areas of stubborn fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise. Chicago Ultra Liposuction is not a weight loss solution and should not be used as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Ideal candidates should be within 30 pounds of their target weight and have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.
Frequently asked questions about Vaser Liposuction include
Yes, Vaser Liposuction is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon. The Vaser technology allows for more precise and controlled removal of unwanted fat, minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues, nerves, or blood vessels.
Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, as the Vaser technology is designed to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues. Patients may experience some soreness and swelling in the treated area following the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Patients can usually resume their normal activities within a few days after the procedure, although it is recommended to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks to allow the body to heal. Patients may also need to wear a compression garment for several weeks following the procedure to help reduce swelling and promote healing.
The length of the procedure depends on the extent of the treatment area, but most procedures take between one to three hours.
Patients can typically see noticeable results within one to two weeks following the procedure, with final results becoming visible within two to six months as the body fully heals.
This depends on the individual patient’s goals and needs. Vaser Liposuction is ideal for removing unwanted fat, while Renuvion skin tightening can help to tighten and firm loose or sagging skin. Dr. Donkoh can help patients determine which treatments will be most effective for their individual goals.
Yes, patients are typically advised to wear a compression garment for several weeks following the procedure to help reduce swelling and promote healing. You will be measured for your first compression garment at your initial appointment, and you will be sent home with a custom fitted garment immediately following your procedure. At your post-procedure assessment appointment (typically 2-3 days after your initial procedure) you will receive your complimentary secondary compression garment.
We often suggest patients combine Vaser Liposuction with Renuvion Skin Tightening if they have a lot of fat to remove. Renuvion Skin Tightening uses advanced plasma technology to tighten loose skin and enhance the contouring results of Vaser Liposuction. Dr. Donkoh will evaluate your individual needs and make recommendations for the best combination of treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Whether to get EvexiPEL® Hormone Replacement Therapy or IV Nutrition after Vaser Liposuction procedure depends on your individual needs and goals. Both therapies can be helpful in enhancing the overall outcome of the treatment.
EvexiPEL® Hormone Replacement Therapy can be beneficial if you have hormonal imbalances that are affecting your weight, energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. It can help you restore your hormonal balance, which can contribute to weight loss, increased energy, improved mood, and other benefits.
IV Nutrition, on the other hand, can help you replenish your body with essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that may be lost during and after the Vaser Liposuction procedure. This can aid in recovery, reduce inflammation, and help you achieve optimal results.
Ultimately, the decision to undergo either therapy should be made in consultation with a medical professional who can evaluate your individual needs and recommend the best course of action. At Niwa, our experienced medical team can help you determine which therapies may be beneficial for you based on your unique needs and goals.
If you are considering getting neurotoxins such as Botox or Xeomin and/or dermal fillers in addition to Vaser Liposuction, it is important to coordinate with your cosmetic surgeon to determine the best timing for these treatments.
In general, it is recommended to wait until after the Renuvion treatment area has fully healed and any swelling or bruising has subsided before getting neurotoxins or dermal fillers. This is typically around 2-4 weeks after the Vaser Liposuction procedure, but the exact timing may vary depending on the individual and the extent of the treatment.
By waiting until the Vaser Liposuction treatment area(s) have fully healed, you can ensure that the neurotoxins or dermal fillers are injected into a stable and predictable environment. Additionally, getting these treatments after Vaser can help enhance the overall results, as they can help further improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss in the treated area.
It is important to discuss your goals and concerns with your cosmetic surgeon and follow their recommendations for timing and combination of treatments to achieve the best possible results.
After Vaser Liposuction, there are several things you can do to enhance your results and maintain them in the long term. Here are some tips:
- Wear compression garments: Wearing compression garments after Vaser Liposuction can help reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort, and can help your skin conform to your new body shape.
- Follow a healthy diet: Eating a balanced, nutritious diet can help you maintain your weight and improve your overall health. This can also help you maintain your Vaser Liposuction results.
- Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help you maintain your weight and improve your muscle tone and overall fitness. It’s important to wait until your surgeon has cleared you for exercise before starting any physical activity.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help flush toxins from your body and improve your skin’s appearance. It can also help reduce swelling and improve healing.
- Consider additional treatments: Depending on your individual needs and aesthetic goals, you may benefit from additional treatments such as Renuvion Skin Tightening or lymphatic drainage massage. Consult with your surgeon to determine the best post-operative plan for you.
It’s important to remember that Vaser Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, and that maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle is essential to achieving long-lasting results.
After your Vaser Lipo treatment, there are several things you should avoid to ensure optimal results and avoid complications. Here are some things you should not do after your Vaser Lipo treatment:
- Do not smoke or use tobacco products: Smoking or using tobacco products can delay the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
- Do not drink alcohol: Drinking alcohol can increase the risk of bleeding and delay the healing process.
- Do not take blood-thinning medications: Blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
- Do not engage in strenuous activities: Strenuous activities like exercise, lifting heavy objects, or bending over can increase the risk of bleeding and delay the healing process.
- Do not take hot baths or use hot tubs: Hot baths or hot tubs can increase the risk of infection and delay the healing process.
- Do not expose treated areas to direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause skin discoloration and delay the healing process.
- Do not wear tight or restrictive clothing: Tight or restrictive clothing can increase the risk of swelling and discomfort.
It’s essential to follow Dr. Donkohs instructions carefully to ensure the best possible results and avoid complications.
Renuvion Skin Tightening
Adding Renuvion Skin Tightening to your Vaser Liposuction treatment can help to enhance your results by tightening the skin in the treated areas. While Vaser Liposuction can remove excess fat, it may not always address loose or sagging skin, which can be a concern for some patients. Renuvion Skin Tightening uses a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to heat and contract the skin, resulting in a firmer and smoother appearance. This can help to improve the overall contour and definition of the treated area. It is important to discuss with your doctor whether Renuvion Skin Tightening is right for you and what kind of results you can expect
