Your surgeon will always discuss with you and recommend the treatment that is appropriate for you. During the consultation, the surgeon will also explain the treatment, its results and benefits, the duration of the result and the frequency of repeating the treatment.
As a practice known for using the latest technology for the benefit of our patients, we have selected a special technique of lipo selection to ensure smooth, predictable results and fast healing. We have thoroughly researched this technology to make this decision with confidence, and as one of the first clinics within the U.K. to be using this technology, we welcome the opportunity to help you determine if VASER Liposuction is right for you. The information below should answer most of your questions about VASER Liposuction.
GYNAECOMASTIA
VASER Liposuction is the next generation of ultrasound liposuction using new technology, designed and widely used across America, to gently and precisely reshape the body via the removal of fat pockets and breast tissues. This is the latest advancement of ultrasonic-assisted systems and is the most advanced approach to fat removal available today. In fact, the technology is so gentle and specific that it was originally designed to treat brain tumours.
What distinguishes VASER is its ability to differentiate body fat from tissues that are best left undisturbed – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues. This latest generation of ultrasonic energy simply bounces off these healthy and important tissues while targeting and dissolving the less structured fat cells. Your liposuction treatment will actually remove the fat, but leave your other tissues intact. This allows your skin to retract smoothly and evenly after the procedure and minimizes pain and bruising typically associated with fat removal. Most patients experience fast recovery and return to normal activities within days.
We also perform, in certain cases when the breast tissue is predominant, direct excision of the breast tissue through a small incision on the aureola that is less than 1 cm.
