Posted to How was your Vaser Lipo recovery? on 20 Aug 2009

In my experience, most patients recover faster following VASER LipoSelection as compared to patients treated with conventional liposuction. They shower the day following their surgery and are asked to walk every few hours to reduce their risk for venous stasis and remain well hydrated.

In addition, all patients wear a compressive garment for six weeks to more evenly reduce swelling and encourage symmetric contraction and shaping of treated areas. Activity is gradually resumed following surgery and most patients actually return to early light physical exertion within two weeks. From there, an activity plan is individualized for them as well as appropriate dietary recommendations.

With any aesthetic treatment, optimal results are associated with a certain degree of downtime. To rejuvenate photo-aged skin and achieve desired results, both the upper, middle, and deeper layers must be effectively treated to achieve an effective result. In so doing, various degrees of inflammatory response will be noted within these tissue layers which will be reflected in potential for sloughing of the upper skin and redness of the deeper layers. Depending upon the degree of improvement that you desire and the amount of treatments you are willing to undergo, settings of the ACTIVE FX can be adjusted to meet your individual needs.
