Vaser Liposuction

Your initial consultation with Dr. Elfieshawy is your opportunity to discuss the areas of stubborn fat on your body that you’d like to target with treatment. Dr. Elfieshawy will conduct a physical examination and review your medical history before determining the best course of treatment for you. Cosmetic procedures are highly individualised and no two procedures will be alike. Dr. Elfieshawy will use his experience and talents to ensure that your results help you to meet your cosmetic goals.

The costs associated with Vaser Liposuction can vary between patients, based upon the extent of work that is being performed. Some patients may opt to combine procedures, and this can have an impact on the associated costs.

It’s important to note that procedures performed for purely cosmetic reasons will not be covered by health insurance. Patients are encouraged to discuss their coverage with their insurance companies prior to scheduling the surgery.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Elfieshawy will discuss the procedure and any potential risks or complications that may be possible. He will also make sure that you have realistic expectations from the procedure.

Patients are provided with pre-procedure instructions that will cover what should be accomplished prior to the day of your procedure. This could include stopping any supplements and medications that may potentially result in to during the procedure. Preparing for your procedure could also mean that you have someone to help you around the house for the first few days after your procedure, as you’ll likely have some discomfort.

The Vaser Liposuction surgery is performed under general anaesthesia or conscious sedation. If you have ever had a poor reaction to anaesthesia in the past, be sure to let Dr. Elfieshawy know. Any prior complications should be discussed, in order to ensure your safety during and after the procedure. It’s important to note that most patients tolerate the anaesthesia well.

The Vaser Liposuction procedure can take between one and two hours, based upon the size and the number of areas being targeted. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure.

Dr. Elfieshawy will use ultrasound technology to target the fat cells. The fat cells will be liquefied, which makes them easier to remove using traditional liposuction methods.

Patients should expect to have some bruising and discomfort after the procedure. There may also be some swelling, but it should subside within a few weeks of the procedure. Compression garments may be recommended, as they can help to control the swelling and the discomfort.

Prescription pain medications and antibiotics may be offered, to help ensure a comfortable and infection-free recovery.

Vaser Liposuction is considered to be relatively free from complications and risks. No surgery can be said to be completely risk-free, however. The Vaser Liposuction procedure’s risks are minimal, and could include infection, excessive bleeding and blood clots in your legs or lungs.

Vaser Liposuction is a surgical procedure but it is minimally invasive. Most patients find that they feel much less discomfort after the first full week of recovery. Patients can slowly start returning to exercise and physical activity after 4 weeks. Exercising too early can lead to scar tissue formation. The swelling and bruising will decrease as each week goes by.

Unless the job requires a lot of physical activity, most patients will be ready to return to work after a week of recovery. This is a minimally invasive procedure.

The scars you could expect from liposuction procedures are minimal, and typically made in discreet locations. Dr. Elfieshawy will discuss his techniques and his goals for minimising scarring.

The results of the Vaser Liposuction may take a few full weeks to be completely recognisable. The swelling and bruising can make it a challenge to see the true results of the procedure. They will subside in time, revealing the smooth and toned new contours of your body.
