At The Private Clinic in Manchester, we have expert knowledge and many years of experience in carrying out Vaser lipo treatments to help you transform your body.

What is Vaser Lipo?

Vaser liposuction is a less invasive liposuction technique that uses using ultrasound technology
to breakdown fat cells removing them from the body. Vaser liposuction is best for patients who are at their ideal body weight but struggling with stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise alone. The procedure can provide amazing contouring and body sculpturing results and is suitable for male and females in a range of body areas such as;

Abdomen – The abdomen or tummy is one our most common vaser liposuction areas to treat. Stubborn fat in this area can cause patients to feel out of proportion compared to the rest of their body. Vaser liposuction can provide excellent results to this area offer a more contoured and toned appearance.

Legs – Fat in the lower legs can really affect the overall proportion of the body. Vaser liposuction can easily target this area to result in more shapely and defined legs to make patients feel less self-conscious about wearing shorts.

Male Chest Reduction – Vaser liposuction can be an effective technique to help reduce the appearance of ‘man-boobs’.

What liposuction treatments are suitable for men?

by Leave a Comment

Liposuction was the fourth most popular cosmetic procedure for UK-based men in 2014 and 2013. However, far from the complex and invasive procedure many envisage, the treatment today is normally walk-in walk-out and performed under local anaesthetic.

Alongside the advances in technology that make the treatment less invasive, the procedure now affords far more precision and allows otherwise in-shape men to target even the smallest of problem areas with extreme precision, perhaps explaining its new-found popularity. We explain some of these less invasive methods and how they work…

VASER Liposculpting

VASER is one of the most well-known forms of minimally-invasive liposuction. It uses advanced ultrasound technology to break down fat cells prior to their removal, meaning surrounding tissues are undamaged and results are more targeted.

The treatment is a particularly popular with men because of its many different forms. VASER Hi Def (pictured) is designed to give a sculpted, athletic appearance through the removal of superficial and deep fat from around particular muscle groups. VASER 4D, meanwhile, aims for a ‘Superhero-esque’ result; involving the insertion of fat around particular muscle groups (as well as its removal from around the area) to give an extremely defined defined appearance. A Mid-Def version of VASER is also available for those who want more natural definition, but doctors are always the best ones to advise on your different options and guide you towards a treatment that will give you the best results.

MicroLipo

Like VASER, MicroLipo is a minimally-invasive form of liposuction. However, unlike it’s not so distant relative, fat is not destroyed prior to its removal. The treatment instead uses extremely tiny cannulas/tubes (ranging in size from 0.9mm to 3mm at their largest) to extract areas of fat, utilising diluted anesthesia injected into the area beforehand to ensure no surrounding tissues are damaged.

Because of the skill involved in the treatment, very few doctors are specialised in it – meaning you should always research any specialist you work with thoroughly. MicroLipo is perhaps best suited for those who want precise definition without the chiseled effect of VASER 4D or VASER Hi Def, or for those who aren’t keen on fat being liquefied prior to extraction.

Male Chest Reduction

Gynecomastia (known popularly but far less eloquently as ‘man boobs’) is a common condition, that affects around 40% of the population. It is characterised by just one thing – a disproportionate amount of fat in the male chest that is unresponsive to both exercise and diet.

Both MicroLipo and VASER are suitable treatment methods for the condition owing to their lack of invasion and precise nature. The area normally takes around 1-2 hours, with both methods performed under local anesthetic and no requirement for a hospital stay, meaning patients can usually return to work within a couple of days.

Again, the method should never be used as an alternative for a healthy lifestyle and we always work closely with our patients to ensure their diet and exercise plan isn’t something that can be looked at first. However, for those who have tried other means previously, the treatment can prove extremely successful with a long-lasting change in both the area and patients’ confidence. Read more.

Summary

The rise in minimally-invasive treatments means liposuction for men is fast becoming more about contouring and definition than a large-scale shift of flabby areas. Surgical liposuction is still the best means for those who are looking to remove a higher percentage of fat, but it is important to remember that no treatment should ever be looked at as a solution for obesity.

Both VASER and MicroLipo are precise treatments that can assist in getting rid of flabby areas without huge downtime and invasion. Their pioneering technology means they are suitable to give natural-looking reduction, or extreme precision, depending on the needs and wants of individual patients.

VASER Lipo and MicroLipo vs. Traditional Liposuction

by Leave a Comment

Liposuction procedures are on the rise, with recent figures showing a startling 43% increase in the number of procedures carried out across the UK. No two bodies are the same, and there are different types of liposuction methods available to cater for a vast range of people.

Liposuction removes unwanted or excessive body fat, to help achieve a more defined, sculpted appearance. Minimally-invasive and traditional liposuction techniques allow patients to choose the most suitable procedure for their individual needs and required results:

Traditional Liposuction

  • Surgical Liposuction is a treatment that targets excessive fat from the specific regions of the body, and can be combined with Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck surgery) during the removal sagging, excess skin.
  • The procedure can last from one to three hours, depending on the area being treated. Surgical Liposuction can be performed on most areas of the body, including the buttocks, breasts, abdomen, knees and chin and is carried out under general anaesthetic.
  • Generally, surgical liposuction usually results in overnight hospital stay. Patients are also advised to avoid exercise for a few weeks after surgery, but can expect to return to work within 1 week to 10 days.
  • Suitable candidates for surgical liposuction tend to be larger patients that have a high BMI (Body Mass Index) and wish to treat larger areas of the body

VASER Liposuction

  • VASER LipoSelection, also known as LipoSculpting, is a revolutionary liposuction method that targets small, stubborn pockets of fat that usually cannot be lost through diet and exercise alone.
  • This minimally invasive procedure uses a small probe that emits sound energy to dissolve fat cells, which is subsequently removed through a suction process. The fat cells are separated from other tissue and are targeted directly.
  • VASER Lipo is carried out under local anaesthetic.
  • In addition to VASER Lipo being a walk-in walk-out procedure, the treatment involves less downtime, with a substantially lower rate of bruising.
  • VASER Lipo is the perfect procedure for men or women wanting some definition around their muscles – for example a more prominent six-pack.
  • Suitable candidates for VASER Lipo are patients with an average BMI that wish only to remove small amounts of fat from specific areas of the body.

MicroLipo

  • MicroLipo is also another great minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction, and the involves the use of microcannulas to remove unwanted fat for smooth, consistent results.
  • The target area is injected with local anaesthetic, causing swelling and separation of fat cells from surrounding tissue. Minor incisions are made, microcannulas are inserted into the area, and remove unwanted fat.
  • Patients can expect to get back to their daily routine almost immediately, and no stitching is required.

It is very important that patients do not see liposuction as a weight-loss alternative. We encourage all of our patients to lead a healthy, balanced lifestyle, and have realistic expectations when considering liposuction. We advise that treatments are conducted by experienced, qualified Lipo-selection surgeons for the best results.

At The Private Clinic, we are the UK’s specialists in minimally invasive liposuction, be it VASER Lipo or MicroLipo. We offer consultations nationwide and carry out the procedures in several of our clinics across the UK – London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds. As well as being in association with The Advanced Body Sculpting Institute, our specialist team of doctors are amongst the top industry leaders for body sculpting and contouring;
