Do you have a few stubborn areas of fat on your body that simply will not go away no matter what diet and exercise routine you adopt? You might be thinking about getting liposuction, a cosmetic surgery that removes extra fat to produce a leaner and shapelier figure. But did you know that more advanced procedures are available? You might be a candidate for VASER 4D Lipo, which is also known as VASER 4D LipoSculpt. Continue reading to learn more about this remarkable cosmetic option.
What Is VASER 4D Lipo?
VASER 4D Lipo is an advanced form of liposuction. During the procedure, unwanted pockets of fat are liquefied using ultrasonic technology. Then, they are suctioned out. The removed fat can be disposed of, or it can be transferred to other areas of the body to add more shape and roundness.
In contrast, during regular liposuction, a surgeon inserts a cannula through a small incision in the skin. It is used to break up targeted fat deposits, after which they are removed with a surgical vacuum pump or a syringe that is attached to the cannula.
What Are the Advantages of VASER 4D Lipo Over Regular Liposuction?
Many surgeons prefer VASER 4D Lipo over traditional liposuction because the treatment offers a few distinct advantages:
- It carries less risk of damage to healthy tissues, such as nerves and blood vessels.
- The minimally invasive nature of VASER 4D Lipo usually leads to faster recovery times for patients. Most people are able to return to their normal routine within a week or so. In contrast, at least two weeks of downtime is average with traditional liposuction.
- VASER 4D Lipo uses thermal energy, which leads to a reduced risk of contour inconsistency following treatment. In other words, when your skin contracts after your procedure, you can expect a smooth and defined final result!
Which Procedure Is Right for You?
VASER 4D treatment requires the touch of a highly trained and skilled surgeon, so it is not available at every cosmetic medical office. Visit a doctor who offers it so they can help you have realistic expectations about what to expect from it. They can also help you compare it with regular liposuction so you can make a well-informed decision about how you want to proceed. Hopefully, you will soon be on your way to the figure you have always wanted!
