At Modern Surgical Arts of Denver, our patients benefit from the different liposuction and body contouring options because we combine the most recent techniques and medical devices to achieve the best aesthetic results.
In the 1980s and 1990s, pioneers developed liposuction techniques that could be performed predictably and safely in an outpatient setting. Over the next decade, liposuction evolved into the idea of “body-sculpting.” Surgeons were not only removing fat but they were also developing the underlying anatomy of the patient’s figure. Many surgeons from around the world contributed to developing and advancing the techniques in body sculpting with liposuction. Since the early 2000s, several medical devices have been combined with these liposuction techniques to achieve improved results.
What is VASER Liposuction?
One of the proven medical devices we use during advanced liposuction and sculpting is VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance), which selectively removes fat deposits and alters the shape and contours of the body. It uses vibrating technology to loosen and sculpt fat, allowing for better removal than traditional liposuction. Liposuction, in its simplest form, is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat deposits from under your skin. Traditional liposuction involves the removal of fat from major areas of concern, such as the abdomen, waist, and thighs, in order to reduce the circumference of the patient’s trouble area. VASER liposuction involves many benefits beyond traditional liposuction.
The Benefits of VASER Liposuction
VASER liposuction offers several key benefits, including:
- Ability to remove high volumes of fat with less blood loss
- Removal of superficial fat droplets closer to the skin, revealing more body definition
- Stimulation of the underlying skin dermis, resulting in potential skin tightening
- Useful in cases for revision liposuction or CoolSculpting with areas of fibrous tissue or scarring
Reduced Downtime
All liposuction techniques operate on the same basic premise: fat deposits are broken apart and removed from the body via suction. However, VASER liposuction allows the surgeon to be gentler and more precise, allowing the fat to be removed without damaging other adjacent tissues.
VASER liposuction is often preferable to other liposuction techniques because it causes less pain, swelling, and downtime than the traditional technique, which uses manual movements to break up fat deposits and can result in more bruising.
Fat Transfer
Another benefit of VASER liposuction is that the removed fat cells can be harvested and transferred anywhere in the body to enhance volume. Dr. Dastoury has transferred fat stem cells into the face (for facial rejuvenation) or gluteal region (for buttock augmentation, commonly known as the BBL procedure).
Comprehensive Treatment
Modern techniques in body contouring involve combining several concepts, such as removing fat deposits from different layers under the skin, strategic fat removal for defining the muscle anatomy, and promoting skin tightening in the treatment area. This philosophy treats the area of concern comprehensively.
VASER Liposuction Candidates
VASER is not intended as a weight loss solution but is used to contour the body. It is ideal for people trying to spot-treat fat deposits and reveal muscle tone underneath. Dr. Kamran Dastoury will asses each patient’s health history and cosmetic goals to determine if VASER liposuction is an appropriate option.
The VASER Liposuction Treatment
At Modern Surgical Arts of Denver, we strive to provide the best aesthetic results for our patients by combining the latest technology with the most advanced techniques within our on-site, accredited surgery center. Dr. Dastoury has extensive training in this advanced technique. He has a reputation for body sculpting using VASER liposuction to correct revision cases or irregular scarring caused by CoolSculpting devices.
VASER Liposuction Recovery and Results
Our patients appreciate Dr. Dastoury’s holistic approach to healing with his organic supplement regimen, which includes herbal anti-inflammatory supplements and vitamins strategically delivered in tablets, topical creams, and tea.
Some drawbacks of VASER liposuction include swelling lasting up to 3-6 months, and you may not see the final results until the swelling subsides. Also, a compression garment is necessary while you recover, which has to be worn for 4-6 weeks. Finally, as with all liposuction techniques, the remaining fat cells can expand if you gain weight after your procedure. So keeping up your diet and exercise routine is very important.
Post-Operative Lymph Massages
Accelerated healing with lymphedema massages is just what the doctor ordered at Modern Surgical Arts of Denver. Dr. Dastoury utilizes routine post-operative lymphatic drainage massages for patients, scheduled as part of our patients’ healing process within our facility. These sessions are performed by our licensed massage therapist, who has over 1500 hours of training and 17 years of experience, 12 of them specifically taking care of post-VASER liposuction. Lymphatic drainage massages tremendously help a patient’s recovery because they decrease the swelling and post-operative discomfort, allowing for a faster and more comfortable recovery process.
Our patients appreciate our comprehensive approach because it places their aesthetic desires, post-operative needs, and long-term results at the center of our focus.
