VASER Lipo Reviews - London, UK

Thank you very much for sending these photos, I still cant believe what a fantastic job you've done and words cannot describe how pleased I am with the results.  The service I've received from yourself and your wonderful team has been amazing and made the whole experience worthwhile and it's exceeded all my expectations.  EJ, Northamptonshire

The results are amazing! I found it very difficult to find a place to do the kind of specific surgery I wanted done - and as such I didn't really have high hopes that I would be able to get the kind of outcome I wanted. But credit to Mr Mouallem, he did a fantastic job! Paul, Hemel Hempstead

Ever since I had vaser sweat therapy my sweating had reduced to half the amount. It has remained constant & haven't had any side effects other than  the dark marks left from the incursions . I would recommend the treatment because it has changed my life, I'm more relaxed. KD, SW London

Its been just over a week since I had my procedure and results are already showing, shaping up beautifully, almost no bruising, very very pleasing, as usual your brilliant work, thank you so much. MT, SE London

VASER Lipo review at Riverbanks - my experience by Mandy

For as long as I can remember my body has been pear shaped and very out of proportion with my small waist.  After doing some research on liposuction i came across vaser liposuction and it really sounded ideal.  I went on a hunt looking for a good doctor and after meeting with 3 doctors, from the moment I walked in to the Riverbanks Clinic I knew I would be well looked after.  Dr Jain was very realistic and put my mind at ease with the procedure.  I went ahead and had vaser done on both my thighs and flanks.  There was literally no pain at all during the procedure and if I had to describe it, the word I would use is it was weird! It felt as though someone was building something under my skin but it really was not painful in any way.  The results were immediate and I was absolutely over the moon.  I remember walking in to Dr Jains office and saying I literally want the sides of my body taken off to give myself a nice smooth shape, not so pear like - this is exactly what Dr Jain did for me and the results surpassed my expectations by a million. 

Before VASER

After VASER

All my clothes are looking incredible on, I no longer have the dreaded 'muffin top' and I feel absolutely wonderful.  I could never have achieved these results without the help of Dr Jain - no gymming or dieting would have given me what I have now.  I feel even more motivated now to keep my shape and have been gyming very hard.  I am now around 2 months post vaser and the results just keep getting better.  The scarring is minimal and my cellulite has reduced.  I no longer have 'love handles' and I no longer have big thighs.  I would like to thank Dr Jain and his team for really making a dream of mine come true.  The only thing I think I think I did wrong, was not doing more areas!

What to expect after liposuction - secrets to help you heal quicker!

It is important to understand that liposuction is a significant step in a lifestyle change to improve the shape of your body. After all, liposuction is a surgical operation and all the risks need to be considered carefully.

Rather than being a quick fix day case, the procedure can be a rather protracted process, and one that must not be interrupted even after the actual surgery itself has come and gone. The recovery is in fact the most important stage a patient having undergone the liposuction process must take very serious by caring carefully for their body. The ability to look after oneself after the surgery determines the overall success of the procedure.

After liposuction surgery, patients usually experience fluid drainage from their incisions. In many bigger cases, a small drainage tube can be inserted beneath the skin to stop the fluid buildup. Swelling may also occur, as well as bruising, in the regions of the body specifically addressed by the surgical process. In order to control the swellings, a fitting elastic garment can be worn over the treated areas for some weeks while antibiotics must be taken as prescribed to prevent or control infections while also enhancing recovery. Post operative aftercare treatments all help to reduce swelling, bruising, infection and improve contour and hasten recovery.

To avoid infections that could result to prolonged recovery, post surgery instructions must be taken seriously. People who don’t adhere to this, despite the warnings always end up with unnecessary complications. Please don’t be one of such people as it could be life threatening.

Pains, swelling and numbness experienced after the surgery are discomforts that can be controlled with prescribed medications as well; however, the soreness and stiffness may continue for a period, and the patient should remember that. Regular movement will improve the stiffness - i.e. don't lie around doing nothing as that will also increase the risk of developing blood clots in your veins (deep vein thrombosis).

Depression is another aftermath that has been shown to occur in several patients of a liposuction surgery. Patients who experience this can help themselves by engaging in minor social activities and seeking support from their friends and families to ease the depression. Focusing on the merits of the surgery also has been known to work for some, although generally the depression disappears on its own after a few days. Normally, depression can kick in at about day 4-5 and as long as your are social and mobile it should only last a few days. But don't be suprised by the sudden tearfulness should it occur!

The healing process begins immediately after the surgery. Serious activities should be avoided for 2-4 weeks to allow the wounds to heal and also for the stiffness to settle. Liposuction does not affect the muscles and so recovery is relatively quick.

The right diets and keeping up with appointments should also be pursued for the duration of recovery as they are very essential. Liposuction patients will have had the surgery because they have struggled to lose fat! So don't go and carry on eating the same foods you were before surgery and doing the same exercises? They obviously weren't helping. After your liposuction, we advise patients to seek the support of a nutritionist or personal fitness coach who can advise on diet and exercise programmes to maintain and further enhance your new body.

If patients follow these simple instructions, you should be able to enjoy your new body quickly and permanently.

Is VASER liposuction better than BODYTITE at skin tightening?

Newer technologies arriving on to the market are all trying to better the absolutely amazing results of VASER liposelection. However, to date, I have not seen any which come near. BodyTite, uses radiofrequency energy which cooks the fatty tissue. It is NOT selective to fat and can burn other body tissues such as skin and muscle. Even the most experienced plastic surgeons who perform many liposuction procedures have reported burns with the Bodytite.

Bodytite is being heavily marketed as being the best treatment for tissue shrinkage after liposuction. However, it must be said that if there is excess skin before surgery, then liposuction may well not be the most appropriate surgery and that an abdominoplasty ('tummy tuck') may be more suitable.

For many patients, a tummy tuck is too big a surgery for them and they prefer a less surgical approach with smaller scars and just an improvement in their bulge. If I consult with a patient who has some relaxed skin due to previous pregnancies or weight loss I usually advise them that a tummy tuck is more suitable for them. However, some really want to try a less drastic option first and if they can accept that after the VASER there will be fat reduction and some skin retraction but not as good as with a tummy tuck, then I will agree to perform the surgery.

Because the VASER system protects the tissue architecture, the scaffolding of the skin  remains largely intact. As a result it shrinks back more evenly and even to this day I am amazed by the amount of tissue retraction I can get with VASER, especially using the 4D Sculpt techniques.

After VASER

In the above examples, the lady was recommended to have abdominoplasty with VASER 4D Sculpt to create a beach perfect body. She chose to try regular VASER Lipo first as she wanted to see what sort of results she could get without the need for a long scar. You can see that at her 4 week review she has great skin retraction. The creases are from the compression vests and garments she has to wear for 8 weeks.

Whats the difference between Smart Lipo and VASER 4D Sculpt?

This is a very common phrase searched on the internet and I will try to explain it.

SmartLipo (or laser assisted liposuction)

• Laser technology
• Heats ALL tissues with most of the energy being absorbed by blood.
• KILLS fat cells so not able to perform fat transfer
• Not specific to fat
• Can overheat connective tissue (skin) and cause burns or contracted skin
• Long operation times
• Incision points are about 2 mm
• Cannot perform high definition liposculpture as will burn the skin

VASER (or ultrasound assisted liposelection)

• Ultrasound energy
• Selective for fat tissue
• Protects skin, nervesm blood vessels and muscle
• Burns are extremely rare
• Incision points are about 4 mm
• Can perform high definition liposculpture as protective to skin
• Fat cells stay ALIVE so can perform fat transfer

The laser technology of SMARTLIPO is quite destructive and kills tissues. VASER does not kill tissue and that is why there is less risk of damage. Clinical studies have shown that there is 70% less blood loss with VASER compared to liposuction. VASER protects tissues and so that is why it is possible to perform highly selective liposculpture using VASER 4D Sculpt techniques. Liposculpting techniques often require the surgeon to work immediately beneath the skin (superficial fat) and lasers will burn the skin at this level.

Do you want a treatment which is destructive or one that protects your body?

You choose!
