Vaser Liposuction

RealSelf.com has published a list of cosmetic procedures ranked on whether patients think having a particular procedure was worth it, based on patients answering their survey question, “Was your cosmetic surgery or treatment worth it?”

While the ranking of patient satisfaction for various cosmetic surgery procedures is debatable, I find that there are definitely favorites. As a Minneapolis plastic surgeon, a tally from my own practice finds that breast enlargement and liposuction patients seem to be quite pleased with their decision to have cosmetic surgery. The survey came up with different conclusions. Perhaps the ranking by RealSelf.com merely represents overall patient satisfaction, without taking into account the quality or training of the physician or technician performing the surgery or treatment. I feel that omitting this crucial element is an oversight.

According to the survey, the top two procedures, tummy tucks and breast reductions are rated at the top. They are almost always done by board certified plastic surgeons. The bottom two procedures, Veloshape and mesotherapy, are almost never done by board certified plastic surgeons. As you move from top to bottom on this list, the percentage of each procedure done by board certified plastic surgeons becomes less and less. For instance, tumescent liposuction, Smart Lipo, liposculpture, liposuction and Vaser lipo, are all done by board certified plastic surgeons, as well as general surgeons, dermatologists, head and neck surgeons (otorhinolaryngologists), family doctors, and gynecologists. In fact you can probably get some type of liposuction done by any medical or surgical subspecialist. Obviously, the medical training in such a wide spectrum of surgical providers can be extremely variable. The survey overlooked this important factor.

As a board certified plastic surgeon, my own bias concludes that training is paramount when choosing a physician. Plastic surgery residency is intensely focused on aesthetics of the body and face and the sculptural aspects of surgery. In addition, the medical students who are most often drawn to a plastic surgery residency have both an aptitude and intense interest in the artistic aspects of surgery. Therefore, I believe that a key factor in patient satisfaction is to understand the qualifications of the person doing your surgery or treatment. However, as with all physicians, plastic surgeons do have dissatisfied patients, a fact of life in the practice of medicine in general. Choose wisely.

Liposuction might seem like a fantasy wish come true. Permanent removal of stubborn fat in just a few hours! Not surprisingly, liposuction is the most commonly performed procedure in all of plastic surgery. Liposuction, performed correctly, can indeed be extremely beneficial for many people.

What bothers me as a practicing plastic surgeon, is that I see cases where liposuction is NOT done correctly and the results can be terribly traumatic for the patient. The purpose of this article is to help you avoid the issues that commonly bring about poor results.

Part of the problem is that too many unqualified people are practicing liposuction while making unrealistic promises. With the huge public demand, many of these pop-up Lipo Centers do a thriving business. Establishing such a business has become easier with advanced tools and technology.

With the advent of new technology, liposuction has expanded beyond the realm of plastic surgery into other medical specialties. Nowadays, a number of general practitioners with no surgical training are performing liposuction in their offices under local anesthesia, loudly promoting it as “safe” liposuction, “non invasive” liposuction or even “non surgical” liposuction. They often deceivingly understate the recovery time by giving it such slogans as Lunch-time Liposuction.

Simple truth is, liposuction is surgery and it is invasive, particularly when some form of additional energy is utilized such as the case with Laser Liposuction. (Sometimes referred to as Smart lipo or Slim lipo, Ultrasonic liposuction by Vaser or Lysonics).

On a technical level, the laser energy disrupts the fatty tissue more aggressively than non-laser lipo and theoretically, it can be extracted more efficiently. The unspoken caveat is that laser lipo can also cause too much tissue disruption, which leads to deformity, particularly in the hands of untrained or unqualified practitioners.

The popularity of Smart Lipo, and the great marketing campaigns promoting it, has led to a wave of unfavorable results that are very hard, if not impossible, to correct. The irony is that the unqualified practitioners who produce these deformities are totally incapable of correcting their shoddy work.

To compound the problem, many patients with the unfavorable results are ashamed to come forward. I truly wish more of them would speak up so it could help future patients be aware and prevent such disasters. I see it in my office though…way too often.

Sucking a little bit of fat might seem like a no-brainer, anybody can do it! The truth is, it takes meticulous study, training and experience to do it well. It takes knowledge of what constitutes an attractive human contour, how to decide when a patient is a good candidate or not, and whether the patient’s skin will allow for a good outcome.

With laser-lipo in particular, it takes a sense of what is too much energy, too much suction and too much compression during recovery to prevent permanent damage.

The best results are always obtained during a first surgery done properly, not when trying to correct damage during a second surgery.

At the 2009 ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) meeting in Las Vegas, emphasis was given to correction of deformities after liposuction. The problem is definitely big enough to warrant such attention.

Talented experts presented difficult cases that were corrected with the use of fat grafting. This type of correction becomes even more challenging when the patient had all the fat already removed in the original defective procedure.

My recommendation is to research thoroughly the competency of the practitioner doing your liposuction. Visit more than one expert, get references from friends and other people that have used them and are satisfied with the results. Ask your doctor if he/she knows how to correct bad results. Don’t forget to ask for before and after photos that clearly show improvement.

If you have been the victim of poorly done liposuction, my heart goes out to you. Please know that your situation can be made better if you obtain a high quality doctor.

If you are contemplating liposuction, I warn you to not be too enchanted with the extreme promises made in some advertisements. In the hands of a qualified doctor, liposuction is an exciting, beneficial procedure. Just make sure your doctor is up to the job.

For more information, please visit www.hairtx.com. Dr. Lam takes as much pride and care in ensuring that the incision in the area of the donor hair looks as good as all the transplanted hair. First, he uses a specialized tumescent anesthetic that allows him to remove only the desired hair follicles without disturbing any deeper parts of the scalp so that the incision heals better and faster. Also, numbness, if any, can be present for a much shorter time. He also routinely performs a meticulous closure known as a “trichophytic” closure in which hairs grow through the tiny scar to make the incision hardly noticeable, even with close inspection. Many of his patients who previously had a procedure done elsewhere have commented the difference in their overall experience and marveled at Dr. Lam’s work, especially how unnoticeable the incision line is.

Although liposuction is relatively new in the world of cosmetic surgery, it has, nevertheless, become the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in the United States. Liposuction was first invented in 1974 by Dr. Giorgio Fischer, a gynecologist from Italy. In 1978, it was introduced to Paris, France and popularized by Dr. Illouz, a French Plastic Surgeon. By the early 1980s liposuction had reached the US and became widely popular. However, the initial enthusiasm quickly cooled when negative publicity due to increased complications and several deaths became public. In 1985, a California dermatologist (dermatologic surgeon), Jeffrey Klein, MD, invented the tumescent technique for liposuction, revolutionizing liposuction surgery. Since, many refinements have been made. The most significant improvement was the use of dilute local anesthetic instead of general anesthesia. This made tumescent liposuction one of the most precise and safe procedures in the field of cosmetic and plastic surgery.
