Lipoedema treatment in Turkey
Vaser Lipo - The Optimal Procedure for Treating Lipedema
At LUX Klinik, we use the VASER Lipo method to treat lipedema in the long term. This type of liposuction allows for the removal of excess fat and water in a particularly gentle manner.
The Vaser Lipo treatment at our clinic in Istanbul is currently the most effective, advanced, and latest method of liposuction. Its basic logic is based on the classical liposuction method, but the application of ultrasound energy (sound waves) in practice increases efficiency.
The VASER Lipo method represents a particularly gentle version of liposuction in which the connective tissue that holds the fat cells is loosened with an ultrasound procedure. This converts the fat cells into an emulsion that can be gently suctioned out afterwards. For this purpose, a small incision is first made in the skin under general anesthesia, into which the small cannula is then inserted.
The precise procedure has the great advantage that the surrounding tissue remains undamaged, resulting in significantly less blood loss during suctioning. This in turn allows for more to be suctioned out. At the same time, the body can be modeled precisely through careful pre-planning, which is extensively discussed in a personal consultation, in order to achieve even proportions again.
Due to the heat generated during the ultrasound procedure, there is an automatic skin tightening effect. This effect continues for up to 12 months after the operation, which is not the case with traditional liposuction.
Vaser Lipo is the globally recognized gold standard for shaping the abdomen, back, waist, legs, buttocks, hips, calves, hips, knees, ankles, and for treating lipedema. Since there is no heat exposure, it does not cause thermal damage to the surrounding tissue, and post-operative edema (swelling) is minimal.
It is the most effective method worldwide because it preserves the surrounding tissue and does not damage lymph vessels in lipedema patients. The effective removal of fat from this area and the protection of vascular structures make the postoperative phase pleasant and enable a quick return to everyday life.
It is an effective method for the treatment of submental liposuction (jowlette) and gynecomastia.
Vaser Lipo is used for high-definition (Hi-Def) operations in patients who regularly exercise and want to highlight their body details. By thinning the subcutaneous fat tissue to the desired extent, the muscle details (six-packs) become much clearer. The areas most frequently shaped in women are the waist and hips. With the Vaser Lipo application, the muscles or facial or body contours are modeled during liposuction, making the existing lines more visible and defined.
Differences compared to traditional liposuction:
With Vaser Lipo, fat is broken down using ultrasound waves and then suctioned out in liquid form. This helps to avoid the wavy surface appearance that can occur with traditional liposuction. Unlike other methods, Vaser Lipo specifically targets only fat cells, without damaging important tissues like connective tissue, vessels, and nerves. This results in much less pain, bruising, and swelling compared to other methods, allowing patients to return to their daily routine more quickly.
Since Vaser Lipo uses ultrasound waves for fat removal, the extracted fat and stem cells are not damaged and can be used for fat injections in other areas of the body if needed.
In which areas is Vaser liposuction applied?
It can be applied anywhere there is unwanted fat accumulation, including inner and outer thighs, hips, inner knees, back, abdomen, waist, chest, and cheeks.
How is Vaser liposuction performed?
With the Vaser Lipo method, subcutaneous fat tissue is liquefied using ultrasound waves that only affect fat cells. The fat cells are then suctioned out using thin cannulas.
What should be considered after Vaser Lipo?
Wearing a compression garment for 6-8 weeks after the procedure can increase the effectiveness of the results and promote healthier skin tightening. Drinking plenty of fluids can help to reduce swelling and eliminate fat cells from the body more quickly.
