Exilis before Vaser liposuction?

Question

I had exilis around a month ago but stopped doing that as it gave me a painful lump and was very uncomfortable during the procedure. I have now booked in vaser liposuction, is this okay to do even tho I did exilis before?

Hello MEEMEE93 in London. Thank you for your question regarding can you still do VASER  liposuction after EXILIS. Yes, you can do EXILIS treatments, and then undergo VASER liposuction. Often, these are done together during the same surgical setting. EXILIS works with radio-frequency to melt fat and tighten skin. The VASER uses different technology. The VASER uses ultrasonic sound energy. This works differently to melt the fat and heat the skin. You can do them either at the same time or in different settings. Good luck. I hope I have answered your question whether having had EXILIS before VASER liposuction would be detrimental.  It is not detrimental. Good luck.

Sincerely,

Exilis and vaser liposuction are different procedures with distinct mechanisms of action. Exilis is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and promote collagen production, while vaser liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes excess fat through ultrasound technology.

Here are some considerations:

Healing Time: Since it has been around a month since your Exilis treatment, your body may have had some time to heal. However, it's crucial to inform your vaser liposuction provider about your previous experience with Exilis.

Pain and Discomfort: If you experienced pain and discomfort with Exilis, it's important to communicate this to your vaser liposuction provider. They may assess whether there are any potential concerns or interactions between the two procedures.

Skin Condition: Exilis is often used for skin tightening, and vaser liposuction may also have some skin-tightening effects. Your provider will consider the condition of your skin and the results from Exilis when planning the vaser liposuction procedure.

Provider Consultation: Consult with the medical professional who will perform the vaser liposuction. They can evaluate your medical history, assess your current skin condition, and discuss any potential concerns or considerations related to your previous Exilis treatment.

It's important to have open communication with your healthcare provider to ensure a safe and effective outcome. They can provide guidance based on your individual circumstances and may adjust their approach accordingly. Always follow your provider's recommendations for pre- and post-operative care to optimize your recovery and results.

Yes&hellip; you should be fine to have vaser liposuction performed. Of course your chosen surgeon needs to know your history and will evaluate you on exam to make sure you have no structural abnormalities.

It's generally safe to undergo Vaser liposuction after discontinuing Exilis treatment, especially if you experienced discomfort or adverse reactions with Exilis. 
However, it's crucial to inform your Vaser liposuction surgeon about your previous Exilis treatment and any associated symptoms you experienced. This information will help them assess your medical history comprehensively and ensure a safe and effective procedure

"Thank you for your question. Yes, it's generally possible to have Vaser liposuction after undergoing a non-invasive treatment like Exilis. However, it's essential to inform your surgeon about the previous treatment and any reactions you had, such as the painful lump. The surgeon can then assess the condition of your tissue and decide on the best approach for your Vaser procedure. It's important for the surgeon to be aware of any complications or residual effects from the Exilis to ensure your safety and optimize the results of the liposuction.
