I tell my patients that the short answer to that question is that the FDA does not allow “long term” results to be defined as “permanent.” For example, liposuction with Vaser is well known to permanently destroy the fat cells while sparing the nerves, blood vessels, collagen, and lymphatic tissues. VASER® Shape, however, is what I consider to be the most efficacious, non-operative body contouring shape device. By using transcutaneous dual head ultrasound, we have good electron microscopy that demonstrates that the fat cell, which looks like a grape under the microscope, looks like a raisin after treatment and stays in that shape for a long time after treatment. Currently, we have data from both Italy and Germany using the same wavelengths of ultrasound, that preserved the patient’s long term results at 2 to 4 years. In America, the early results are clearly being demonstrated that they last as long as the patient maintains their weight. So, yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!
Thank you for your question. Results will vary. There are no permanent solution but it can be maintained by a healthy lifestyle. I hope this helps.
Vaser Shape is a non-invasive ultrasound based medical device that involves no downtime, minimal discomfort that works by creating air bubbles within fat cells via patented ultrasonic vibration, i.e. cavitation, which leads to leakage of fatty acids which subsequently get reabsorbed by lymphatic drainage system. While Vaser Shape can achieve reduction of fat pads often immediately right after the therapy, maintenance of the clinical result achieved depends on one's commitment to healthy lifestyle of working out 30 minutes 3x/week and avoiding excess amount of carbohydrate in the diet.
Liposuction is traditionally a single session procedure. It is unlikely that, for the stated price, you will be undergoing laser liposuction. You may be referring to a non-invasive body contouring modality such as Sculpsure or Zerona which utilizes laser energy for non-surgical fat reduction....
Thanks for the question. I don't recommend patients under the age of 18. I advise my patients to have vaser liposuction after this age. I wish you all the best.
Usually, if you are eating healthy and exercising regularly then your results after liposuction remain stable. It does not stop the aging process and our bodies change over the years. Do not let this stop you from getting liposuction of the flanks and love handles at the same time as your t...
Starting lymphatic massage one to two weeks after any kind of liposuction is very beneficial. Massage helps to mobilize lymphatic fluid which is present after liposuction. The massage helps to drive the excess fluid into the lymphatic vessels so that your body can clear it out of...
Thank you for your question. If you are adverse to high or even moderate risk, then I would avoid lymph, and any area of concern. The safest thing to do is nothing and in some cases, that is the best decision. I hope this helps.
Indented C-Section scars can be released and greatly improved during liposuction or SmartLipo. When combined with liposuction, depressed scars are usually greatly improved. If the scars are raised (hypertorphic or keloidal) Fraxel Laser & steroid injections work best in my...
