Looking in the mirror, you see that even after all that time working out and meal planning, it\'s still there.

That little bit of stubborn, resistant fat just refuses to go away.

You’re frustrated that it feels like it won’t ever change. You’ve heard VASER Liposuction has worked for others, but you don’t know if it will work for you.

In this article, we’ll explain what VASER Liposuction is, how it works, and what the recovery is like for this fat-reduction procedure.

 

WHAT IS VASER LIPO?

VASER is an acronym for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance.

VASER Liposuction is the new standard of cosmetic procedures that removes fat deposits from under the skin. 

This precise, minimally-invasive procedure is tissue-selective — targeting fat cells while protecting other tissues from damage. While multiple forms of liposuction are currently offered, VASER Lipo is unique in its ultrasonic technique, which breaks fat deposits down to be gently and easily removed.

 Gynecomastia or male breasts is a hormonal condition affecting men in their adolescence. It involves a hormonal imbalance during which the breast gland and tissue develop. This development causes an enlarged chest, which can become a huge source of insecurity for many men. Luckily, through surgery, you can treat gynecomastia with liposuction only.

The sophisticated MicroAire and VASER liposuction technology available at advanced centers like RG Aesthetics allow for much better and safer results.

These minimally invasive techniques allow board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr Rajat Gupta to perform the liposuction procedure with minimal scarring and excellent results.

 

How to Treat Gynecomastia with Liposuction Only

Since gynecomastia involves gland and tissue development, you can only counter it surgically. Experts today use high-quality power-assisted and ultrasound-assisted liposuction technology (PAL and UAL, respectively) for the best results.

Beginning with a 3-4mm incision on the side of the chest, your surgeon enters the breast gland with MicroAire – a PAL device with a power-assisted cannula. This cannula moves back and forth rapidly, breaking up the excess gland and tissue, allowing it to be suctioned out.

This procedure is followed with VASER – the UAL device with an ultrasound-assisted cannula. Dr Gupta can target the areas where excess gland and tissue were removed and heat the skin from underneath with this cannula. The heat makes the skin shrink over the new pectoral contours, creating natural-looking, gorgeous results after your gynecomastia surgery.

PAL and UAL allow for an unprecedented level of precision and safety. Thus, recovery is also a breeze. However, they are most effective in treating gynecomastia during the first three stages of severity.

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures today. With many recent technological and technical advancements, it has become increasingly safe. Many people who work out for months and see no results or fat reduction opt for this procedure. While looking up some key queries, many wonder about liposuction’s amount of fat removed.

Prospective patients ask if liposuction can remove all the excess fat from various regions such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, etc. The answer is no. There are different kinds of fat – subcutaneous and deep fat. Subcutaneous fat is present right under the top layer of skin and is the most difficult to burn. Liposuction targets and removes this while leaving behind a healthy amount of fat for your body to function with.

 

How Much Fat Liposuction Removes
When it comes to liposuction, the amount of fat removed is usually less than 10%.
Expert surgeons agree that removing anything more than 10% in one sitting poses a
significant risk, making the procedure unnecessarily traumatic to the patient.

Considering the sophisticated technology available today allowing for minimally invasive procedures, such trauma is easily avoided. Additionally, 10% of fat means 10% of the person’s body weight. This means that if a patient weighs 70kgs, the surgeon can safely remove 7 liters of fat.

Because of this removal limit, surgeons emphasize that liposuction cannot aid weight loss. If you are obese or looking to lose massive weight, liposuction surgery is not the answer. Only a dedicated diet and exercise regime can help with this goal. If you want liposuction, for this reason, you are setting yourself up for disappointment with unrealistic expectations.

However, if you are looking to contour and tone various parts of your body, this is the right procedure for you. The sophisticated power-assisted (MicroAire) and ultrasound-assisted (VASER) liposuction technology available today make this surgery more precise and effective than ever before. Thus, opting for this procedure with these considerations in mind promises more satisfying results.

Are you the ideal candidate for liposuction?

With liposuction, the amount of fat removed is only one of several conditions. While this is the perfect procedure if you have stubborn fat anywhere that you want to get rid of, it is only effective if you have stable body weight and are willing to maintain your results after the procedure.

Board-certified surgeons recommend being within 30% of your goal weight before opting for liposuction. If you reach a point with diet and exercise where your weight is no longer massively fluctuating, you are less likely to put on weight and regain fat after your procedure. Instead, you get long-lasting results after a minimally invasive and traumatic procedure.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Delhi, Dr Rajat Gupta specializes in many different liposuction techniques. Using the state-of-the-art technology at RG Aesthetics, Dr Gupta envisioned a future for liposuction that involves the PURE contouring technique, promising highly refined results. He focuses on ensuring natural-looking results from safe procedures that minimize downtime and maximize patient happiness!
