What should I expect from the operation/procedure?

Remember, the goal of fat removal is not weight loss, but improved contour. In fact, since the body retains fluids in response to surgery, you may even notice a temporary weight gain (resolving over the first week). In addition, please remember that for the majority of patients the goal is significant improvement, not perfection. Lower abdominal patients may experience significant swelling in the pubic area. Bruising is minimal with Vaser Liposelection. Nevertheless, the more extensive the surgery, the more bruising one can normally expect. Post-operative discomfort usually takes the form of deep muscle soreness and normally improves over the following 2 - 7 days. Slight temperature evaluation and flushing of the face, neck and upper chest could last 48 hours. You may initially experience a mild depression that should begin lifting after the first week, once you see the bruising and swelling fade. If areas on the thighs were treated, you may have swelling in your calves and ankles for up to 3 weeks. Post-operative medications prescribed should be taken as directed by your doctor. If you are unable to take any of the medications for any reasons, please contact us (Dr J Taghipour) so we can arrange for other medications. Post operative appointments. For your maximum healing and optimal long-term results, it is very important that you follow the schedule of appointments we establish after surgery.

Vaser Liposelection is carried out under local anaesthetic; only very occasionally we combine it with a sedative medication. Therefore, you are able to walk and return to some activities immediately after the procedure. However, pain, discomfort and experience of having Vaser Liposelection is a unique experience for each individual and the reaction to this experience is not easy to predict.

It is advisable if you experience excessive pain, redness, fullness and swelling in the treated area, particularly if you feel unwell and have temperature/fever you need to contact us immediately.
