Lifestyle Modification
Please remember a body contouring procedure is not the end of the process, it is infact the beginning or the incentive towards a healthier lifestyle.
The clinic recommends initiation of proper diet measures in accordance with the lifestyle of the patient. It is recommended the patient should follow a dietician. It is mandatory to introduce exercises, morning walks in to lifestyle. We recommend at least 40 minutes of brisk walk and exercises at least 4 times a week. All these will be discussed with the patient in the initial counseling and in the post operative period
VASER is essentially a very safe procedure. there are no long term side effects associated. A number of patients are worried about implications on future pregnancy, breast feeding etc. it is reiterated that VASER does not have any implications on a long term basis
  • there is swelling over all the VASER areas , that last for a period of 7 days to 21 days. However this will not be a problem in carrying out normal work.
  • bruising is often seen. These generally disappear in the first week
  • stiffness in the muscles occurs, particularly over the back, and thighs. These are managed with ultrasound treatment and massages
  • failure to tighten the pressure garments leads to development of seromas which are fluid collections. If proper pressure is applied to them, they absorb on their own.
  • an uncommon occurrence is that of fibrosis, which is seen as tight bands or hard nodules. This is an intrinsic response overhealing by the body. These are managed with ultrasound therapy and steroid injections.
  • some patients have hyperaesthesia on the treated area for a few weeks after surgery. This is normal and self resolving.
