VASER High Definition Liposculpture (Vaser Hi Def)

VASER High Definition (VHD) is an advanced body contouring technique. It is performed with ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty technology (Liposelection, VASER).The results reveal a sculpted, well toned, natural musculature intended generally for fit men and women who seek greater visibility of their muscular detail.

Traditional liposuction versus Vaser High Definition

What high definition liposculpture does is to remove the deep and superficial fat which blocks the detail of the underlying muscles

While the goal of a regular liposuction procedure is just to trim away fat to make a patient slimmer, Vaser Hi Def demands a surgeon to go one step further going into places previously off limits to liposuction and sculpting the body in such a way never before achieved by conventional liposuction.

Ideal candidates for VASER High Definition

Since high definition liposculpture is designed to be a sculpting procedure rather than a debulking technique, the appropriate candidate is the person who has good muscle tone without excessive amounts of fat or lax skin. Vaser Hi Def is most effective for those who are already physically fit, and seek to add an even greater, more chiseled and sculpted look to their efforts. The procedure can change the perception about liposuction and should be viewed as an adjunct to a fitness program and not as a failure to treatment.

VASER Liposuction

Latest, third generation ULTRASONIC liposuction technique that is designed to virtually eliminate bleeding during surgery and to reduce inflammation and bruising. VASER Ultrasound technology literally liquefies the fat, which allows for greater precision and vastly superior results.
 

Ideal candidate for Vaser Liposuction

All candidates for liposuction should have realistic expectations of the results that can be achieved through the procedure and should be in good physical and mental health. The best candidate is someone who is in excellent health, is within 25 pounds of his or her ideal body weight, and has deposits of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise.
 

At the consultation

You should express your desires and expectations from the surgical procedures. The surgeon will evaluate your medical health and explain the surgical techniques available to you. Your question will be answered as thoroughly as possible.  Examinations of your trouble are will be performed. The surgeon will go over the risks and potential complications of the procedure, as well as, the pre-operative and post –operative process.


Risk Factors

All surgeries carry some risks. Listed below are the risks or potential complications:

The risks of VASER liposuction are very similar to the liposuction risks associated with any other method. However, because LipoSelection minimizes damage to other body tissues, patients typically experience less pain and fewer side effects than with other forms of liposuction. Serious liposuction complications are quite rare. Fat clots or blood clots may form, and there is a chance these will migrate to the lungs and cause serious illness. The fluid loss that results from liposuction will be anticipated by a qualified doctor, as it can cause low blood pressure, friction burns, or fluid buildup. The LipoSelection probe’s ultrasound energy may injure the skin or deeper tissues; although in most cases the benefits of the ultrasound system make it safer than traditional liposuction. If a doctor inexperienced with the LipoSelection procedure applies too much fluid, the wetting solution may collect in the lungs. If there is too much lidocaine in the liposuction solution, lidocaine toxicity may develop.
 

Before the surgery

At this time, you will be given an opportunity to ask any further questions. Continuation of healthy diet and exercise is very important before the surgery. Smoking must be stopped at least two weeks before the surgery
 

On the day of the operation

No eating or drinking for 8 hours before the surgery.  You should wear loose fitting clothing and sneakers. Do not wear sandals or slippers. You will meet with our nurse to prepare you for surgery. The surgeon will discuss the procedure with you again and do pre-operative planning. You will meet with our anesthesia provider to discuss anesthesia. You will be given a choice of day surgery or general anesthesia which required at least one day hospital stay depend on your choice but normally if it is an extensive surgery,   we required 4 days and 3 night’s hospital stay.
 

Anesthesia used

This procedure can be performed using local or general anesthesia.
 

 During the surgery

First, the area to be sculpted is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making fat easier to break up with the VASER System’s sound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal in the eye) that breaks up fat on contact, while leaving other important tissues relatively intact. Finally, gentle suction of the sculpted site removes the emulsified fat quickly. Thanks to its patented technology, only the LipoSelection procedure first emulsifies and then removes fat in this manner.
 

Post Operative Expectation

The treated area will be wrap with compression garments snugly and continuously for 6 days-2wks. Usually drains are placed removing excess fluid over a period of 2-3 days.
 

 Back to normal work

Regular exercise work out may start after 2 weeks, start with light exercise then gradually move your way up to your regular routine as tolerated by your body.

How To Choose A Certified Plastic/Cosmetic Surgeon?

When choosing a plastic surgeon, it is important to consider a number of factors. Medical training and surgical experience are primary indicators of the surgeon’s qualifications.  Board certification is another important criterion. No single factor can guarantee you the best doctor for a specific procedure. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which surgeon is best for your specific goals and expectations.

To become a plastic surgeon, a doctor must obtain an M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) or a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) degree. Following this, there are several paths the doctor may follow. Many doctors now spend five to six years in an integrated plastic surgery residency, although some complete three years of general surgery and two years in plastic surgery. 

What does it mean to be a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?

Choosing a Board certified surgeon can be a very tough job because of the personal information being shared. Just open the yellow pages, magazines, brochures or view news paper advertisements and you’ll find plastic surgeons promoting all kinds of society memberships and board certifications but don’t be confused between boards and societies. Societies are merely professional associations. Board certification is the minimum criterion you should use in selecting a plastic surgeon. So, it is very important that you learn about the doctor’s education, training, certification, and experience in order to guarantee a successful outcome and to make the best choice.

Beware of lots of Letters after the Doctor’s Name:
Many fraudulent doctors’ have quite a few letters after their names. In fact, multiple letters may be the telltale sign of an inadequately trained doctor trying to impress the public. Definitely, your doctor should have the letters M.D (Medical Doctor) or D.O (Doctor of Osteopathy) after his name. He might even have one or more master’s degrees or might also have PhD but these degrees are irrelevant to plastic surgery. Patients are advised to select a board certified plastic surgeon.

Guide to choose a Plastic Surgeon:

• Get Referrals: Begin your search for a plastic surgeon by asking friends, relatives, family doctor, colleagues that are willing to meet with you and share their results of the surgery. Hospital staff such as nurses, surgeons and anesthesiologist is also excellent sources of referrals. You may also do research on the internet, magazines, or in the yellow pages. Chances are a few names will stand out from the others. It will help give you the best possible recommendations.

• Check the qualifications of the surgeon: One of the most important qualifications you should look for in a plastic surgeon is that they are board certified but you must need to know what board has certified your plastic surgeon and be sure that the surgeon has graduated from an accredited medical school.

• Meet the surgeon: Look at pictures of past procedures done by the surgeon. Choose an ethical and confident surgeon and friendly staff members for a long lasting relationship and you should expect good communication, understanding and comfort from the surgeon.

When It Comes To Cosmetic Surgery, Why in Thailand?

Thailand is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world today and foreigners seek cosmetic treatments for the following reasons:

·                   Low cost surgical treatments

The treatment fees in Thailand are generally between 50-70% less than they used to be in the western countries. This low cost treatment allows tourist to shop for an affordable price and can find a qualified plastic surgeon of choice. Foreigners can leave for an exciting vacation, have the surgery, relax, recover and return home a completely renewed individual.

·                   Quality healthcare services

Thailand has developed a world class series of hospitals and clinics that offers modern medical facilities with access to the latest technology and treatments as well as highly educated and world class trained surgeons. Many foreigners had cosmetic surgery in Thailand and experienced plastic surgeons who treated them with outstanding skills and innovative techniques.

·                   Highly developed infrastructure

Thailand is famous of its magnificent beaches and nature's best scenes. The country has a rich culture with a superb cuisine. Tourist will enjoy many different attractions and a wide choice of accommodation from first class hotels to guest houses and also a safe and friendly place suitable for treatment and recovery.

Male Breast Reduction

Male breast reduction also known as gynecomastia, breast reduction for men is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men.

During an excision procedure, the incision is made either on the edge of the nipple (areola) or in the underarm area. The surgeon cuts away the excess glandular tissue, fat and skin from around the pigmented area surrounding the areola and from the sides and bottom of the breast by working through the incision. Major reductions that involve the removal of a significant amount of tissue and skin may require larger incisions and more visible scars.

If liposuction is also used to remove excess fat, a slim, hollow tube (cannula), is inserted directly through the existing incisions. The cannula is attached to a vacuum pump to suction out the fat.

Duration of the operation:

 The procedure takes about 1-2 hours

Post operative care:

To help reduce swelling, you'll probably need to wear an elastic pressure garment continuously for a week or two, and for a few weeks longer at night. Although the worst of the swelling will subside in the first few weeks, it may be three months or more before the final results of your surgery are apparent.You'll be encouraged to begin walking around on the day of surgery, and to return to work when you feel well enough, which could be in a couple of days. Stitches are removed one to two weeks after the procedure.Your surgeon may advise you to avoid sexual activity for a week or two and heavy exercise for about three weeks. You will be told to stay away from any sport or job that risks a blow to the chest area for at least four weeks. Your activities should be back to normal after about a month.

Recovery period:

Back to work: 5-7 days
more strenuous activity: 2-3 weeks
Full recovery from bruising: 3-6 months

Possible risk and complications:

Infection, fluid accumulations, injury to the skin, rippling or bagginess of skin, and asymmetry. Pigment changes (possibly permanent if exposed to the sun). Excessive scarring if tissue was cut away, and need for a following procedure to remove addition tissue.

Anesthesia use:

Local with sedation or general

Hospital admission:

This procedure may be performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or at a hospital. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis
