What is Vaser Liposuction?
Liposuction is an application performed by removing excess fat tissues from the abdomen, hips, arms and jowl areas. While liposuction can be performed with surgeries such as sleeve gastrectomy, it can also be done alone. In the classical method of this application, special solutions were injected to the areas where the fat tissues were high, so that the fats would be broken down and become liquid, then thin cannulas were inserted through the incisions opened on the skin and the excess fat tissues were removed.
In today’s technology, without the need for this, by using ultrasonic sound waves, fat tissues are removed without damaging the neighboring tissues and an effective body shaping is performed.
How is Vaser Liposuction done?
In Vaser Liposuction application, areas with excess fat tissues under the skin are affected by targeting only fat cells. In this application, ultrasonic sound waves, which have become today’s technology, are used. The fat tissues liquefied by these sound waves are separated from the skin surface and removed from the body by pulling with thin cannulas.
If the area to be applied in Vaser Liposuction is small, it is performed with local anesthesia and additionally light sedatives, while general anesthesia is preferred if the area to be applied is large or if more than one area will be applied. The reason for this is to reduce the patient’s feeling of pain and pain and increase the comfort and success of the application.
What is the mechanism of action of Vaser Liposuction?
Vaser Liposuction acts on the applied area with three basic mechanisms of action. In the first effect, the photomechanical effect emitted by the laser is based on disrupting the cell structure and integrity of the fat tissues in the application areas.
With this effect, solid fat tissues become liquid. The liquefied fat cells spread to the area between the other cells, and the molten cells are thrown out using thin cannulas and vacuum method with low pressure. This application is also called lipolysis.
The second effect is based on the photomechanical heat effect in the periphery of the application area of the laser energy. Thanks to the photomechanical heat, the blood vessels in the area are constricted and bleeding is prevented. In this way, bloody fluid accumulation, called hematoma, in the application area, bleeding and bruising do not occur. Swelling called edema is less common than classical liposuction.
In the third and last effect, photostimulation effect is created in the area outside the area created by the photomechanical heat effect. Photosimulation provides re-repair in the tissue under the skin and increases the formation of connective tissue, creating tightening, recovery and tension in the skin. Although tightening is observed in the first place, the main effect is seen increasing within months.
Unlike classical liposuction, Vaser Liposuction liquefies the fat tissues in the body using ultrasonic sound waves.
Liquefied adipose tissues are expelled from the body using thin cannulas. The advantage of Vaser Liposuction over classical liposuction is that the cannulas used in classical liposuction have grater-style blades at the end and the cannulas used in Vaser Liposuction are not in this style. Vaser Liposuction does not damage nerves, vessels and surrounding tissues in the application area that are not applied during the application.

- Vaser Liposuction is an application performed under anesthetic creams. Therefore, the pain is minimal. After the application, painkillers prescribed by the doctor can be used.
- After Vaser Liposuction application, patients should consume plenty of water.
- When Vaser Liposuction and diet are done together, the patient should start a diet program as more effective results will be obtained.
- In this process, the patient can take vitamin supplements.
- Patients are asked not to drive for a few days after Vaser Liposuction application.
In the first week after Vaser Liposuction;
- During this period, although it varies from person to person, blue/bruises, tenderness, itching and numbness may be experienced.
- The medical product called liposuction corset should be worn during this period.
- At the end of a week, you can start driving and resume desk work. fasting exercises should be avoided.
