Since its inception in the 1970s, liposuction has been lauded as a modern fat-reduction method. At Florida Face & Body, we’re proud to offer an innovative, less invasive method of liposuction in Tampa: VASERlipo. This remarkable advancement in liposuction technology incorporates ultrasound technology to enhance patient comfort, recovery time, and results.
Read on to learn more about the difference between VASERlipo and traditional liposuction.
VASERlipo vs. Traditional Liposuction: Key Differences
VASERlipo and traditional liposuction are both effective techniques to eliminate stubborn fat that use a cannula to vacuum fatty tissue out of the body. However, these procedures have several distinct differences, including:
Ultrasound Technology
Unlike traditional liposuction, VASERlipo uses ultrasound technology. The probes are inserted into the skin through a small incision, where they administer ultrasound waves to break up the fatty tissue.
This process helps free fat from the bodily tissues holding it in place, allowing for more effective fat removal. The addition of ultrasound technology also makes VASERlipo in Tampa Bay less traumatic to your body than traditional liposuction.
Shorter Recovery Period
For our busy Tampa patients, time is a precious commodity. This makes VASERlipo more attractive than conventional liposuction for its rapid recovery period. With less tissue trauma in the VASERlipo treatment process, the body heals much faster, allowing for minimal downtime.
Less Postoperative Pain
While minor bruising is typical after VASERlipo, our Tampa patients rarely experience anything more than mild discomfort. This is a key benefit over traditional liposuction, which can cause significant postoperative discomfort.
Dr. Mahootchi will provide detailed aftercare information to support your recovery process and ensure the best possible results from the VASERlipo procedure.
High-Definition Sculpting
With the inclusion of ultrasound technology, VASERlipo can achieve high-definition sculpting in multiple areas of the body, including the jowls, chin, neck, abs, hips, love handles, chest, arms, back, thighs, buttocks, knees, calves, and ankles. This high-definition effect is highly sought-after among Florida patients.
