Do you ever feel like you’re not seeing the weight loss results you should be for the amount of time and effort you’re putting in? Even with a nutritious diet and consistent workout routine, you may find yourself stuck with stubborn pockets of excess fat. This can make it extremely difficult to achieve the slim, toned physique that you crave. If this sounds like your situation, you may want to consider VASER liposuction.
What Should I Expect During the Surgery?
Once you’ve had your consultation with Dr. Kiwanuka to confirm that you’re a candidate and create your treatment plan, your VASER liposuction surgery will be an outpatient procedure. Typically, the surgery is performed using local anesthesia with IV sedation. To begin, Dr. Kiwanuka will make a small incision in the treatment area. She will then inject a tumescent solution beneath the skin to prepare your tissue for the ultrasound energy. Next, the VASER device will be used to deliver ultrasound waves to the targeted fat, which will then be carefully suctioned out of your body through a narrow cannula. Finally, Dr. Kiwanuka will close the incision with sutures and apply bandages to the area. Overall, the procedure can take anywhere from one to three hours to complete.
