A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles. Vaser liposuction is a type of liposuction that uses ultrasound technology to break up and remove fat from specific areas of the body. When combined, a tummy tuck and vaser liposuction can help achieve a more toned and contoured midsection. 

What is Tummy Tuck Vaser Procedure?

Tummy tuck vaser procedure is a cosmetic surgery procedure that combines two techniques: tummy tuck and vaser liposuction. Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens the underlying muscles to create a firmer, more toned appearance.

Vaser liposuction, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive technique that uses ultrasound energy to break down and remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body. When combined with a tummy tuck, vaser liposuction can help to further contour and sculpt the abdominal area, enhancing the overall results of the procedure.

The benefits of the tummy tuck Vaser procedure include a flatter, more toned appearance of the abdominal area, improved muscle definition, and a reduction in unwanted fat. 

Who Can Be an Ideal Candidate for Tummy Tuck Vaser?

An ideal candidate for a tummy tuck vaser procedure is someone with weak abdominal muscles as well as excess fat and loose skin in the abdominal area. This can be due to various factors such as pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics.

Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin and stubborn fat in the abdominal area, women who have had multiple pregnancies and remain with loose abdominal skin and muscle separation, and individuals who have tried to improve the appearance of the abdomen through diet and exercise but still cannot achieve the desired results, individuals in good general health and non-smokers are suitable for the tummy tuck vaser procedure. 

Individuals who are in poor general health or have certain medical conditions that may increase the risk of complications during or after surgery, individuals with significant amounts of excess skin and fat in areas other than the abdomen such as the buttocks thighs, or hips, individuals who are significantly overweight or obese, women who plan to become pregnant in the future are not suitable for tummy tuck vaser operation. 

How is Tummy Tuck Vaser Performed?

Tummy tuck vaser is performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours depending on the extent of the surgery. There are several stages involved in the tummy tuck vaser procedure. 

• Anaesthesia: The patient is given general anesthesia to ensure comfort and safety during the procedure.
• Incision: The surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen, usually just above the groin area. The length and shape of the incision are determined depending on the extent of the procedure.
• Vaser Liposuction: The surgeon uses the vaser liposuction technique to remove excess fat in the abdominal area. Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells, making them easier to remove from the body.
• Muscle Repair: The surgeon repairs weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This helps to create a flatter, firmer abdominal contour.
• Tissue Removal And Tightening: The surgeon removes excess skin and tissue from the abdomen and tightens the remaining skin to create a firmer, contoured appearance.
• Closing The Incision: The surgeon closes the incision with sutures or surgical tape.
• Postoperative Care: The patient is closely monitored in the recovery area and may need to stay overnight in the hospital for observation. Pain medication and antibiotics may be prescribed to manage discomfort and prevent infection.

It is very important to remember that the exact steps of the procedure may vary depending on the surgeon's techniques and preferences as well as the patient's needs and goals.

How is Tummy Tuck Vaser Recovery Process?

The recovery process for a tummy tuck vaser procedure can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and individual patient factors. 

Immediately after the procedure, patients are required to rest before going home. After hospital rest, it is recommended that someone else drive the patient home. For a few days after the procedure, the patient may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the abdomen.

Follow-up appointments with the surgeon will be scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure optimal results. Patients must maintain a healthy diet and exercise regime after the procedure to help maintain results and avoid weight gain.
