Hey,
I'm a 30yo male and go to the gym 4 times a week - like most people who undergo vaser I've been tying to shed stubborn fat around my abs and no matter how hard I try it won't go! I can feel the muscles underneath my flab so have finally decided to get vaser med def after almost 6 months of research (I've seen most of the vaser specialists in London but only felt comfortable with two although one was really expensive!)! I have my procedure booked for today in London for my upper/lower, sides and chest and I'm a bit nervous! I'll be under sedation and the procedure should take 3 hours or so I've been told.
I've read some of the reviews on here and a bit nervous about the recovery as ill be going on my own but have arranged for a nurse to escort for the first 6 hours as I can't leave alone...
Will keep you guys posted!

Finally had my vaser under sedation and I didn't feel anything apart from the last 20/30 mins when I was coming around but it wasn't at all painful!
I was told 2.5 litres of fat had been removed although I'd have to go back to have my sides done as the Dr was unable to do them. I'll find out more when I see him. I didn't feel sick or light headed and no pain at all! Actually went to Starbucks to get a drink too as I was really thirsty by now!
I had the nurse escort me back home via a taxi and I'm glad she was there at by 9pm (my surgery ended 5pm) I was feeling sore and took some codeine although a couple of hours later started feeling sick and light headed - this was a side effect to codeine so I switched to paracetamol and have no issues.
Going to the bathroom at night for a wee wasn't at painful as I'd expected either and didn't have to remove the garment to pee either! I'm not sure what I look like as I'm still wearing the garment.

Hope your recovering well mate, thanks for posting about your experience, helps a lot.

Hi Ryan,
Funnily enough I actually read your post before the day of the day of my surgery and it really helped! I actually feel really good and I hardly have any bruising. I am sore and tender and in certain areas of my abs my skin is very numb. But I did get on the tube today to have my stitches out :-)
I have to go back in 2 weeks to have my sides done...I'm presuming they didn't do them on Tuesday as they removed 2.5 litres and I guess under sedation perhaps it's safer to do it in 2 sessions as oppose to one!
How are you feeling? Are you still swollen? Back at the gym?
May 24, 2013
Hey mate, glad you are recovering well! Have you got a a week or so off work?
I think you must be getting me mixed up with John who had his surgery in Poland!?
I am still at the research stage, trying to decide if I will go through with it and where I will have my surgery, decisions, decisions!!
May 25, 2013
Hey,
Sorry I'm getting mixed up with John. I took a week off work but I could have easily have gone back on Friday. It's best to see a few surgeons although all the ones I saw are based in London and the prices for upper, lower abs, pecs and sides (flanks) ranged from £5500 - to £18000 and many places offer a 'package' which kinda put me off! Which areas are looking to have done?
May 26, 2013
Hi kickass. I came across this and seen you meant to post to me? How far on are you? Howsthe recovery going?
May 26, 2013
I'm at my best today. Most of the soreness has gone and swelling is going down! I may go gym tomorrow just to try light weight lifting. Although they did do my sides (flanks) not sure why but ill be going back week after for them. How's your recovery? Are you still swollen?
May 26, 2013
My swelling didnt kick in until 1 week after surgery and it is still swolen. No pain, no discomfort, no numbness, very little bruising. General swelling seems to be starting to subside very slowly but I still have a pouch of fluid on my lower abs which is getting syringed on Tuesday by my own GP at home. I really miss the gym like you wouldnt believe! Need to hold off though, need rid of this swelling!
May 26, 2013
Ah my stomach is still bloated but I'm having to urinate a lot and I think a lot of that is the swelling fluid! You have a really good result from your pics...I'll post mine once I get the flanks done as it looks weird at the moment!
I hope the GP visit goes well but apparently it's a very common side effect of being manually drained.
Did you see many surgeons in the UK before going to Poland?
May 26, 2013
Yeh it did initially look good...looks kinda awful at the minute. Im so afraid that it wont return to a good result and stays odd looking...im terrified ofthis and literally spend every minute thinking about how swolen I look and feel. I seen a surgeon in Scotland but the prices were extortionate so I came across Dr Mekle and looked into him
May 26, 2013
I think the initial look you had is what you'll keep once the swelling is gone. Does you stomach look bloated? That's what mine looks at the moment! Swelling can apparently take 6 months. Have you been going in for lymphatic massages?
May 26, 2013
The massages begin on Friday mate. I dont know if they make a difference to swelling? Yes my stomach looks bloated but quite solid. Apart from the bottom part that has that jiggly fluid that I am having removed. I hope the once gets rid of this and that i dont need to have it syringed multiple times! How badly are tou swolen/bloated? Do you find that this is increasing ?

I have been researching doctors in London for vaser lipo & there are so many, can you please give me the name of the doctor who performed your procedure, thank you.

Vaser Flanks
I had my flanks done this afternoon under local anaesthetic...it's a strange sensation...a little painful in certain areas but it acts fast I was pretty numb instantly.
The vaser itself isn't painful but you can feel it like a pin prick when the cannula hits the edge where there is no local anaesthetic.
The flanks and back took approx an hour and approx 600ml of fat was removed. In my last session I had 2.5 litres so a total of 3.1 litres.
I still have swelling on my lower abs and this can take a couple of months to look 'flatter'.
I will post some after shots in a few days once the swelling has gone down.
At the moment I'm not in any pain but just tired - also had a lot of fluid discharge than last time as my jogging bottoms are wet! I have open incisions with no drains or stitches this time...
