Vaser Liposuction Sound Surgical

The Sound Surgical Vaser 1.0 Liposuction Unit uses a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that precisely and efficiently removes unwanted body fat. The Sound Surgical VASER Lipo1.0 uses state-of-the-art ultrasonic body shaping technologies effectively treating all areas of the body, giving you guaranteed results. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction and  designed to gently reshape your body. Clinically proven to be less aggressive, reduce blood loss, enhance skin retraction and maintain the viability of fat cells.

The Sound Surgical Vaser 1.0 provides surgeons with the technology necessary to create dramatic body sculpting results compared to traditional liposuction. Treating multiple areas in a single procedure allows the patient to see less swelling, feeling less pain, and less downtime than traditional liposuction.

What distinguishes the Sound Surgical Vaser 1.0 Liposuction Unit’s procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues -such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Innovative VASER technology breaks up fat while conserving these other important tissues. Only the VASER Lipo procedure uses the proprietary VASER System to first liquefy fat and then remove it from the body to promote smooth results and rapid healing with minimal pain and discomfort.

VASER Lipo ™ is an ultrasound-assisted energy to use ultrasound waves to smooth and gently loosen fat cells. SpaMedica provides this procedure for patients seeking to get rid of stubborn parts in their body from certain areas. The ultrasound energy gently separates the fat cells from the narrow fibrous and accessory compartments. Although  VASER Lipo ™ is  not known for contraction of soft tissues, Dr. Mulholland uses VASER Lipo ™ to gently remove fat, preserving its integrity and viability for possible use for fat grafting.

How does it work?

Liposuction (also called lipoplasty, liposculpture or lipectomy) is a surgical technique (performed under anaesthesia – general or local plus sedation) for removing specific areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to a healthy diet and regular exercise, such as areas around the back, chest, stomach, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, underneath the chin and the neck. It is not effective for cellulite reduction or an alternative to sensible dieting and cannot prevent you gaining weight.

Traditional liposuction techniques involve the removal of unwanted fat via a hollow cannula (tube) with the assistance of vacuum suction and the forceful use of the surgeon’s arm. Techniques available include SAL (Suction Assisted Liposuction) and PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction). Following these traditional techniques, UAL (Ultrasound Assisted Lipoplasty), became available in the early 1990s which uses ultrasound energy, emitted via the tip of a cannula, to emulsify (liquefy) the fat first before it is extracted via the vacuum suction.

VASER® Lipo, launched in the USA in 2002, also uses ultrasound to break up the fat cells before they are then extracted using the suction. However, the VASER system differs from previous generations of UAL in its application of the ultrasound.

During the procedure (in common with traditional liposuction techniques), a saline solution containing a drug to shrink blood vessels to reduce bleeding (adrenaline), and an anaesthetic to numb the area (lignocaine/lidocaine) are introduced through a small incision in the treatment area. This solution is used to “wet” the treatment area and loosen up the fatty tissue ready for the ultrasound delivery. It also makes it easier to remove all the emulsified fat in a single solution once treatment is complete.

The VASER® Lipo device uses a probe (2.2 – 3.7mm in diameter) with special patented grooves along its sides (see image), which means that the ultrasound energy can be emitted from all sides of the probe, as well as from the tip, allowing the surgeon the ability to sculpt delicate areas such as the arms, inner thighs, neck and chin more precisely.

The effect of delivering the ultrasound in this dispersed way (as opposed to all from the tip with traditional UAL techniques) is that it doesn’t damage any other structures within the area, such as blood vessels or nerves, which is an advantage it has over more traditional methods of liposuction.

Once liquefied, the fat is then removed using a patented rounded cannula, with massage and suction, meaning that surrounding tissue is largely undisturbed and bruising is said to be minimal.

 

License status

VASER® Lipo was cleared by the US FDA (Food & Drug Administration) in September 2002 for use in fat removal, and has received a European CE Mark.

 

Should be used by

Fully trained and qualified surgeons only.

 

What is it used to treat?

It is not a cure for obesity or a treatment for cellulite. Suitable candidates for VASER® Lipo are average weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of fat in specific areas.

Areas that can benefit from liposuction in general can be treated with VASER® Lipo and include stubborn fat around the back, chest, stomach, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, underneath the chin and the neck.

Due to the technique used with VASER® Lipo it is considered ideal for the sculpting of delicate areas of the body which may be harder to access with traditional techniques, e.g., arms, inner thighs, neck and chin.

 

Side effects & risks

As the mechanical effort is less than with traditional liposuction, bruising and pain is minimised, meaning a faster recovery time. You should still expect bruising, swelling and soreness for a few days, but recovery is much quicker than with conventional liposuction – i.e. days not weeks. General over-the-counter pain killers will be prescribed by your surgeon for any discomfort.

Initially you should expect some fluid drainage from the incision points. You will also be given a compression garment to wear over the treated area for approximately 2 – 6 weeks depending on the area(s) treated and the amount of fat removed.

Possible side effects include unevenness, persistent swelling, or lumpiness in the area treated, and skin discolouration or scarring at the incision points.

Other risks associated with surgery include reactions to anaesthetic, haematomas (collections of blood under the skin), infection and nerve damage.
