Is it okay to have Vaser Lipo a week before going on holiday?

It is possible to be feeling well soon after VASER Liposelection. Those who recover quickly tend to be those patients that are already quite athletic, have only small amounts of fat to remove, and have a high pain tolerance.
In my practice, for the areas that you are mentioning, I will typically advocate for gentle return of activities after 48 hours. With good support garments patients can feel comfortable.
In general, most patients need 1-2 weeks to really feel like that are getting back on their feet. With that said, if you think your holiday is going to be a busy one, I would hold on the liposuction until you have more time to recover.
Good luck,
Dr. Shah

Hello,
Thank you for your question. To give you perspective, some patients return to work after 2-3 days, whereas patients that have extensive liposuction, have a low pain tolerance, or job that includes manual labor may choose to return after two weeks.
Thus things to consider include 1) how much fat you are having removed, 2) your pain tolerance, and 3) what you mean when you say “holiday” (does it include extensive travel? Physical activity? Etc)
Best wishes,

Thank you for your question. VASER Lipo surgery's recovery time is around 6 - 7 days and after the surgery, first 12-24 hours recommended for rest. The amount of fat removed and extensiveness of the liposuction can also play a determinative role in the recovery process. 
However, typically, most patients need 1-2 weeks for completely healed and getting back into their routine. 
In my practice, I usually recommend my patients to not being in a rush in the recovery phase. If there any unexpected healing problems occur in the recovery process, the best decision is contacting with your surgeon.

Hello jennybatten,
Thanks for your questions! Typically, the recovery time required for VASER Lipo is around 7 - 9 days, making this safe and effective procedure very convenient to my patients. During VASER Lipo, the surgeon selects the area to be treated and uses the ultrasound-assisted device to liquefy the fat cells, leaving the surrounding nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue unaffected. By only melting fat, the VASER leads to more rapid healing and smoother results. I would recommend you setting up an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. He/she would assess your candidacy for VASER lipo and you will have the opportunity to discuss your specific needs and aesthetic goals. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.  

For those who work in an office-type setting, a week is typically more than enough time to recover, before returning to work.  Most patients with office jobs return to work within 2-3 days.  If your job is more physical, take a week and a half to two weeks off.

hello jennybatten  A short period of rest of 12-24 hours is usually recommended immediately after the procedure. Final results can be seen 2-4 months later as the swelling continues to diminish and contours become more defined. #recovery #thighs

Vaser 4D HI DEF liposuction/body contouring  produces immediate results and a fast recovery depending on your post operative care. I have my clients do massage therapy, RF treatments and hyperbaric oxygen for fastest recovery. Normally ,two weeks out of work for a very hi definition result, and three to four weeks out of the gym. A week before a holiday should be fine if you are just doing localized areas.  Best, Dr. Emer

Jenny, thanks for asking a question that, I'm going to bet, many others wonder about. 

Recovery from any procedure depends on various factors. One is the amount of fat that will be treated on the inner and outer thighs. You don't say whether you weigh 120 or 180, or how tall you are. The more fat that is removed, the longer you are likely to be under anesthesia, and that can affect recovery as well. Further, as other physicians have stated, much depends upon whether you plan to be extremely active during the holiday after your treatment.

Here at my Cleveland area plastic surgery practice, I recommend that all my VASER® liposuction patients have regular massage on the treated areas beginning about a week after their procedure. Massage helps the swelling to dissipate, softens the tissues and makes my patients feel wonderful. We all agree that they recover faster with massage treatments as an adjunct to their VASER® liposuction.

My advice is to discuss this with the board certified plastic surgeon who is going to perform your VASER® liposuction procedure. He or she is already familiar with your body size, goals for reduction and can review the activities you have planned during your holiday. One week might well be enough, or it might not be. Have a frank talk with your surgeon and I think you'll feel guided in the right direction.

To your health and beauty,

Dr. Paul Vanek, Double Board Certified Cleveland Mentor OH Plastic Surgeon

Recovery may vary tremendously among different individuals. Furthermore , the extensiveness of this liposuction and the amount of fat removed may also play a role in the recovery process. One week is a very limited anount of time for recovery and in most instances is probably insufficient.

Yes it is, but I recommend one month before vacation. Here are some details on vaser.
VASER liposuction, also known as LipoSelection, is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses ultrasound technology to remove fat cells: How it worksVASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. The procedure uses a probe to emit ultrasound energy that breaks down fat cells, making them easier to remove with a traditional liposuction cannula. BenefitsVASER liposuction can be used on larger areas like the thighs, tummy, or flanks, as well as more delicate areas like the neck. It's designed to cause less pain, swelling, and downtime than traditional liposuction. ResultsThe results of VASER liposuction are permanent, unless the patient gains excessive weight. Side effectsLike any liposuction procedure, VASER liposuction can cause minor side effects such as swelling, bruising, numbness, minor bleeding, and scarring. ConsiderationsVASER liposuction may not be ideal for people with fibrous body tissue or a higher BMI, and the procedure can take more time.
