What is the most effective form of lipo?

May 8, 2020 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

Liposuction or lipo is one of the most popular body contouring procedures available in the cosmetic surgery sector. It is able to effectively remove stubborn areas of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise and re-contour the body to give a more balanced and improved physique.

What you may not know is that there is more than one type of liposuction and the most effective form of lipo for you will ultimately depend on your expectations from surgery.

Vaser Lipo

Vaser liposuction is one of our most commonly performed liposuction options. It is our least invasive form of fat removal which is performed under local anaesthetic with sedation and no overnight hospital stay is required.

The technique involves using ultrasound energy to liquefy the fat cells before they are then removed through a gentle suction process. It is suitable to be performed on areas such as the buttocks, hips, thighs, abdomen, upper arms and chest.

Vaser lipo downtime?

Overall, we recommend that patients allow 2-3 weeks of general recovery from their vaser liposuction procedure. This recommendation is purely to allow for any discomfort, bruising or swelling to settle. Many patients are able to return to their daily activities such as work within 2-3 days, but exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 3 weeks to allow the body to heal.

Vaser lipo when will I see results?

The results from vaser liposuction can be seen straight away however patients are required to wear compression garments and will experience swelling. The results are best seen from 5-6 weeks following the procedure.

Vaser Hi-Def

Vaser Hi-Def liposuction is a variation of the vaser lipo technique. This procedure is best suited for patients who are looking for a more athletic result. The procedure works by removing both superficial and deep fat layers that surround the muscle groups which then helps to enhance the visibility of underlying toning and musculature. The results are impressive and are commonly performed on the abdomen and chest.

Vaser hi-def downtime?

Following vaser hi-def, patients should aim to allow 3-5 days before returning to work and 2-3 weeks before continuing with any exercise or strenuous activities.

Vaser hi-def when will I see results?

The results from vaser hi-def are best seen 2-6 weeks following the procedure, these results will then continue to develop over 4-6 months.

Vaser Mid-Def

Vaser Mid-Def liposuction is a more subtle version of the vaser hi-def technique. It is the ideal option for patients who are still looking to increase the definition seen in their results but with a softer finish. For this procedure, the results are more down to the overall reduction in body fat rather than the precise fat removal surrounding the muscles.

Vaser mid-def downtime?

We recommend that patients take 3-5 days off work to recover from their vaser mid-def procedure. Exercise and strenuous activities should also be avoided for 2-3 weeks after the procedure.

Vaser mid-def when will I see results?

The results from vaser mid-def are best seen 2-6 weeks following the procedure, these results will then continue to develop over 4-6 months.

Micro Lipo

Micro Liposuction is liposuction that uses a much smaller cannula that is best suited for patients who are only looking to treat small areas of the body. The cannulas used are 0.9mm to 3mm wide and can remove up to 3.5 litres of fat from the abdomen, arms, thighs, knees, flanks and male chest.

Micro lipo downtime?

MicroLipo involves minimal downtime and many patients are able to return to their daily routine almost immediately. Patients often only require 1-2 days off work and a gentle exercise schedule can be resumed after 7 days with guidance from their surgeon.

Micro lipo when will I see results?

You will notice a change to the areas treated immediately after the procedure, but it can take up to 3-4 weeks to see the real results from micro lipo.

Surgical Liposuction

Surgical liposuction, liposculpture, suction-assisted lipectomy or traditional liposuction is the original form of liposuction. It is usually performed under general anaesthetic and uses a suction technique to remove fat from the body. It is often performed at the same time as another plastic surgery procedure such as a tummy tuck.

Surgical liposuction downtime?

The downtime for surgical liposuction will always vary from patient to patient. It is standard protocol that all exercise and strenuous activities are avoided for several weeks following surgery, but many patients are able to return to work after 1-2 weeks depending on their job role. Overall, we say to allow 10 days to recover from any discomfort, swelling or bruising.

Surgical liposuction when will I see results?

You are likely to see results immediately after surgery. The majority of patients are able to see great results after 6 weeks, but the final results of your procedure are best seen 6-12 months afterwards once all swelling has resolved.

Vaser Liposuction vs CoolSculpting

September 25, 2017 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

When it comes to body contouring there are a variety of different treatments and procedures about that claim to tackle the issue.

Vaser Liposuction

Vaser Liposuction is a minimally invasive treatment aimed at contouring and shaping the body. Usually performed under local anaesthetic with the option of sedation, the process involves making small incisions in the area to be treated before small probes are then inserted and used to transmit the ultrasound energy and liquefy fat cells prior to removal via a gentle suction process.

The Private Clinic’s Doctors have performed over 7,000 VASER Liposuction treatments to date, more than any other clinic in Europe. We were the first clinic to launch Vaser in the UK.

All Vaser Liposuction procedures will take place in our boutique hospital in Fiztroy Square, London.

Consultations for Vaser Liposuction take place at London Harley Street with our expert liposuction surgeon.

Consultations with our patient coordinators are also available in Leeds, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham and Northampton

CoolSculpting/ Fat Freezing / Cryolipolysis

CoolSculpting is more commonly referred to as fat freezing which is essentially the aim of the procedure. CoolSculpting works by delivering carefully controlled cooling which targets the fat cells underneath the skin. Post-treatment your body will begin to naturally process and eliminate the dead fat cells which reduce the number of fat cells in your body.

CoolSculpting is an FDA approved non surgical fat reduction treatment with over 7 million treatments carried out worldwide. CoolSculpting is offered at The Private Clinic in collaboration with world expert, Dr Tracy Mountford, MBBS MBCAM (GMC Number: 3085451). All of our practitioners have been to CoolSculpting University and have been personally trained by Dr Tracy Mountford who is the only UK doctor on the International Allergan CoolSculpting faculty.

CoolSculpting Fat Freezing treatment is available in London, Devonshire place which is just a short 5 minute walk from our London Harley Street clinic, Stoke Poges in Buckinghamshire, Manchester, Leeds and Bristol.

CoolSculpting and Vaser Liposuction are often the most commonly researched when it comes to picking a procedure for removing areas of fat. But how do they compare?

Vaser Liposuction CoolSculpting
Immediate Results Gradual Results
Couple of days downtime Minimal downtime
Local Anaesthetic (and Sedation if required) required)No need for anaesthetic
Precise contouring Does not provide body contouring
Larger areas can be targeted Areas may be treated limited to application head
Treatment takes between 1-2 hours Treatment time as little as 35 minutes per session
Vaser Liposuction price starts from £2,940 CoolSculpting price starts from £800

At the same time, for those looking to treat smaller areas of stubborn fat, we also offer MicroLipo (Microcannular Tumescent Liposuction) which is the least invasive liposuction treatment available. Perfect for smaller areas such as your chin, arms and abdomen it is able to remove stubborn fat using microcannulas which results in a reduced downtime with many patients returning to work 48 hours after treatment.

If you are unsure about which fat reduction treatment is going to be best for you, visit us for a consultation where you will be able to find out more about the treatment available and listen to our experts advice on which is going to give you the results that you are hoping to achieve.
