Why is VASER Liposuction better than traditional Liposuction?

There are various different approaches to Liposuction used by Surgeons, but VASER has some major advantages over the traditional technique. In VASER Liposuction, ultrasound energy is used to disperse the fatty tissue in the affected area. The ultrasound energy causes the fatty acids to dissolve and release the contained fatty tissue. This emulsified fatty tissue is […]

In each of these techniques the fatty tissue is removed by suction through hollow tubes (cannulas). The difference is in how the fatty tissue is treated prior to it being sucked out. In VASER Liposuction an ultrasound […]

Liposuction – how much can be removed?

Generally the maximum amount of fatty tissue that I recommend be removed during liposuction is 5 litres of fatty tissue. This corresponds to approximately 5 kilograms of fat. The reason I do not recommend removal of more tissue than this is that it can cause disturbances to the fluid balance in the body and serious complications […]

Should Liposuction be performed with Tummy Tuck surgery?

Many surgeons do perform liposuction with tummy tuck surgery. In our opinion this is safe – as long as the liposuction is not performed extensively to the upper tummy. This is because this is the area through which the blood travels to the lower part of the tummy skin and liposuction can jeopardise this. We […]
