Finally there is an advanced technology called the VASER system that dissolves fat cells upon contact with ultrasonic energy delivered through a small sterile probe. With only local anesthetic and mild sedation, the fat is melted then gently massaged and suctioned out. No more visions of the jabbing, jarring and bruising of patients associated with traditional liposuction. A friday procedure will have you back to work and play by monday. Dr Carli is a pioneer in this technology and is one the few doctors in the country now performing this procedure.
During the procedure the area to be sculpted is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrinks blood vessels. This solution makes the area very wet and full, making the fat cells easier to liquefy with the VASER System's sound energy. After liquefication, the fat is removed and a pressure garment is placed for 1-3 days to tighten the skin and avoid any bruising. Small incisions heal quickly and easily.
The VASER System generates sound energy similar to that used for cataract removal in the eye. Small probes transmit the sound energy to dissolve fat cells on contact. Gentle suction and massage of the sculpted site removes the dissolved fat cells quickly and easily.
VASER Body Sculpting can be done effectively on the abdomen, "love handles", backs, thighs, hips, knees, arms, neck and chin.
If you are healthy and looking for a fast, low-pain solution to your excess fatty tissue, you may be a good candidate for VASER Body Sculpting. Although there are limits to the amount of tissue that can be removed, Dr Carli can assist you with your decision about potential areas for sculpting, the results you can expect, and the recovery process.
VASER is a much gentler way of separating fatty tissues prior to removal, it differentiates between fatty tissue and other tissue such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues that must be left undisturbed for good results. VASER sound energy simply bounces off other types of tissues while dissolving the less structured fat cells. This makes VASER Body Sculpting safer and results in less swelling and a shorter and more comfortable recovery.
Procedures are performed in a sterile environment in our office making the procedure safe, convenient and often less costly due to the absence of hospital care and an anestheseologist.
