Vaser Lipo to Remove a Double Chin

Sometimes, even after lifestyle modifications (otherwise known as dieting) your weight loss is evident on other areas of your body, but your double chin hangs on stubbornly. Some people have tried facial exercises, with some measure of success. Others may see no change at all. Again, this can make Vaser lipo a very attractive option to finally reach the holy grail of sporting one chin only.

The answer to why you have a double chin may be in your genes- it's a family trait. If this is the case, contouring of this area may be an attractive option, as no matter what you do, the fat is highly unlikely to budge from this area.

Vaser lipo is often the tool of choice for a surgeon to remove a double chin, as the Vaser allows for small areas to be sculpted.

What happens during facial liposuction with Vaser?

The surgeon will first numb up the under-chin area with local anesthetic. Then he will make a tiny incision just under the chin. This incision point is usually very small, and becomes practically invisible when it has healed up. The thin Vaser probe is inserted under the skin into the fat layer to be sculpted away. The machine is switched on, and ultrasound pulses break up the fat under your chin. The surgeon carefully moves the probe around, sculpting away until he is happy you have a contoured, smooth profile. Then the fat is suctioned out. The surgeon may suture the incision site, or sometimes it is covered with a steri-strip to allow for drainage.

Vaser liposuction has major advantages over traditional facial liposuction, as the ultrasound energy only targets the fat layer. Other structures such as blood vessels are not damaged by the ultrasound energy, so there is far less bruising and swelling. This reduced trauma to the area means you will have a quicker healing time. You will have some swelling and possibly some bruising, but this is usually minor. Any of these side effects will usually subside within a few days.

You will probably be advised to wear a compression garment for some time after your procedure. This is to minimize swelling, to aid the healing process, and to encourage skin tightening.

The Vaser Lipo procedure to remove a double chin usually only takes about an hour. Healing is usually complete within 14 days. And you get to enjoy the results for years to come!

The Advantages of Vaser Lipo

Since March 2001 when Vaser Lipo first began there have been over 100,000 operations using the new technique all around the world. VASER which stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance has now become a trusted and very highly respected treatment in the field of cosmetic surgery. It is the latest technological improvement in body contouring and fat removal treatments. The Vaser Lipo technique is a major improvement on previous methods of cosmetic surgery.

The Vaser Lipo system uses probes of a very modern design to deliver ultrasonic energy to the area that is being treated. Fatty matter which is attached to fat cells is then liquefied by this energy and is then removed from the patient's body via small cannulae. During the procedure there is absolutely no heat generated whatsoever. This method of fat removal is far superior to other methods of Liposuction as they rely on the suction method. Another plus is that the procedure only requires the use of a local anesthetic.

Prior to Vaser Lipo, Liposuction has normally been seen as something that will be a rather painful and unpleasant experience. However, Vaser Lipo has already started to change people's opinions of cosmetic surgery. Doctors are seeing more and more patients who are opting for Vaser Lipo as their choice of treatment for fat reduction. This is very much down to Vaser Lipo offering far less pain and discomfort and a much improved recovery time. Even the media have given good reports of the procedure, boasting its safety and improvements compared to previous types of Liposuction. People, who had previously considered having Liposuction but have put off by its unpleasant side effects, are now giving Vaser Lipo serious consideration.

Many doctors in the Liposuction industry are already praising Vaser Lipo for its many benefits. With its lack of effect on any healthy surrounding tissues, a greater accuracy by its use of ultrasound energy and better results with skin tightening, the treatment is very appealing to many physicians. After the procedure the patient will experience less tiredness and there will be fewer treatments needed afterwords. The results of the procedure are impressive and natural-looking.

It has been proved in clinical tests that the Vaser Lipo is highly effective at both removing unwanted fat and tightening the skin as well.

The Vaser Lipo technique was specifically created for use on all parts of the body from small places on the face and neck to much larger areas such as the back and abdomen. Indeed, it is well within the capabilities of Vaser Lipo to remove up to two litres of fat in one go. The procedure has become a very successful one not only with patients but with surgeons as well. Results of a survey performed last year concluded that around ninety-five per cent of cosmetic surgeons would recommend Vaser Lipo to colleagues or other cosmetic surgery clinics. The Vaser method gives them much greater control in their operations which in turn boosts the confidence that they have in their work.

Things to Consider When Thinking About Getting Liposuction

The best candidates for liposuction are healthy people at or near their ideal body weight but still have a resistant pocket of fat. For example, a woman 5' 7" tall and weighs about 135 pounds that has bulges of fat on her outer thighs (saddle bags) could be an ideal candidate for liposuction.

Liposuction is a poor choice for weight loss. Even the most aggressive forms of liposuction will only remove about 5-6 pounds of fat. Furthermore, if you overeat after the liposuction, you will most likely regain the fat in a different location.

There are several different types of Liposuction. The original procedure was done under general anesthetic and used a large suction tube to remove the fat. The recovery was painful and frequently there was a lot of loose skin that needed removal at a later date. Next came tumescent liposuction which used water combined with local anesthetic to avoid the need for general anesthetic. Better, but still no skin tightening.

The next improvement came by trying to heat the water to help melt the fat before removing the fat. Both ultrasound and lasers were used to generate the heat. The heat made a big difference, we finally got improved skin tightening. The problem was that the hot water heated everything... fat, muscles, nerves, arteries, veins skin etc. What was really need was a way to selectively heat the fat and selectively heat the skin while minimizing the heat applied to everything else.

In 2009, the first device that could selectively melt fat and tighten skin was produced. It was called the SlimLipo by Palomar Medical. This laser was a major breakthrough for liposuction. The device combined 2 lasers into one machine that could be used to just melt fat, or just tighten skin or do both at the same time. For the first time, doctors could offer patients a way of melting fat and tightening skin that was safe and so effective that many patients did not need any followup skin tightening procedures.

Before the procedure, you should obtain and try on a compression garment. You will need to wear that garment day and night for at least a few weeks to help prevent swelling that is common after liposuction. The Marena Group makes garments that are very comfortable. They can be left on even while taking a shower or using the bathroom and they cause little to no skin irritation or odor. You should probably order 2 of them so you can put on a clean garment every day.

Arrange for transportation to take you home after the procedure. Even though you will probably be able to drive, you might be groggy. Having a driver is just plain smart.

After the procedure, plan on doing very little for about 2-3 days, and nothing strenuous for about 2 weeks. This will minimize swelling and speed your recovery.

Ask your doctor what kind of device(s) he uses and why he chose them. SlimLipo lasers do cost more, but they are well worth the extra expense due to the safety and results. Ask about anesthesia. Local anesthesia can be painless and speed up your recovery. Serious complications are usually from general anesthesia and less likely from the Liposuction.
