Vaser Lipo® in Toronto

Liposuction in Toronto remains one of the most popular body contouring procedures around the world, but not all cosmetic surgeons perform VASER® Liposuction, a technique that uses ultrasonic energy to enhance the results of liposuction.

Dr. Mahmood Kara performs VASER Liposuction to help patients further tone their bodies following weight loss. Unlike traditional liposuction in Toronto which simply removes fatty deposits, VASER liposuction applies ultrasonic energy to fat, breaking it up and liquefying it for easier removal. What this means for patients is more precise fat removal and increased comfort during and after their procedure.

Your VASER Liposuction in Toronto

When you meet with Dr. Kara for your consultation, he will describe the customized procedures and techniques he will use in your VASER Liposuction surgery. Depending on the area to be treated, the procedure can last from 45 minutes to two hours and is done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home with assistance after your surgery. The use of general anesthesia or a local anesthetic with sedation will also be dictated by the area to be treated.

First, Dr. Kara will apply the ultrasonic energy to the treatment area, which helps to break up the fat cells. The doctor then inserts a small tube called a cannula through a small incision in your skin. This cannula will suction out the excess fat deposits in the treatment site. Some fluids may be lost during surgery and these will be restored intravenously. When he has completed the fat removal process, Dr. Kara will close the incisions with sutures and apply compression garments to ensure proper contour during healing.

Results and Aftercare for VASER Liposuction

After your procedure for VASER Liposuction in Toronto, Dr. Kara will outline how you should care for yourself as you return home. The compression garments may need to be worn for up to three weeks and you may also have a small tube inserted to collect fluid build-up for about two days. Dr. Kara will ask you to walk shortly after your procedure, but you will need to limit exercise for up to a week. You may experience swelling, numbness or discomfort and Dr. Kara may prescribe medication to help manage pain. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, the beautiful results of your VASER Liposuction in Toronto should endure.
