If you have been in an accident that resulted in a disfigurement the good news is that you do not have to suffer from it or be reminded of it when you look in the mirror each day. Also, if you just have something about your body that you are unhappy with and would love to change, you should know that you likely have the option to do something about it.
Both men and women are using <b>plastic surgery</b> as a means to change things about their bodies that they do not like. This option has actually been around for many years which is great news because that means if you find the right surgeon, it is safer than ever to use this procedure to change the things that you do not like about your body. Finding the right doctor means doing your research on the surgeons that are out there and picking the one that you feel is the most experienced, most trusted and the most able to complete the surgery how you want it to be completed.
There are stories that you have probably heard about people using plastic surgery more than they should because they are always finding things about their bodies that they do not like. You should not let these stories scare you away from using this option to change the things about your body that you want to change however, because this option has been the only way to improving life for many people and it may also be that way for you.
Plastic surgery can now be used to change pretty much any body part that you want because of continuous medical advances so do not hesitate if you think your concern can be helped with this procedure. Your doctor that you choose will probably first want to make an appointment with you to discuss the type of surgery that you want to have completed and to make sure that it is safe to have it done. If your surgeon agrees to complete the surgery, the next step will likely be to go through the recovery process before you can begin enjoying the new you. The recovery process can also be a time to prepare yourself for the changes that you will see once the bandages are removed. You might not even recognize the body part that you had surgery on, so it is always a good idea to mentally prepare yourself for the changes.

VASER
Vaser or Vibration amplification through Sound Emission and Resonance, as it may be called after expanding it, is an exciting new technology in the field of body contouring done surgically. It takes liposuction assisted body contouring to new heights. Previously difficult to imagine kind of weight losses and inch losses can be given with excellent intrinsic skin retraction which occurs, promises to help a far greater percentage of patients than could be usefully operated earlier by conventional liposuction
Surgical liposuction has seen the advent of Laser liposuction, which till today maintains a controversial understanding and effectiveness among plastic surgeon circles. Initially the ultra sound based liposuction procedures were pretty ineffective. However the newer 3rd generation devices have shown excellent initial results.
The Basic Principle
Ultrasound energy delivered internally through a specially liposuction probe, is directed into areas of concern. The low frequency ultrasound breaks down the fat cells, emulsifying it, into a liquid form. It may take upto minutes to work on the entire abdomen, and another 20 minutes to work on the entire thigh. Now using any liposuction canula, the emulsified fat is then suctioned off. The ease of liposuction is phenomenal. As the emulsified fat just pours through into the suction device. Since the energy is also delivered superficially, there is excellent skin retraction, hitherto not seen previously. It is foreseeable to see a scarless breast reduction in the not so far future with this technology. Upto 15 litres of fat or even more may be suctioned in one sitting itself
Potential uses
1 Breast reduction
2 Liposuction over abdomen, thighs, waist, buttocks etc
3 Facial liposculpture
4 Buttocks and thighs, which were difficult to operate earlier, now can be easily tackled with Vaser
5 Borderline cases of abdominoplasties may be tackled with Vaser, and the consequent skin retraction may allow the surgeon to avoid an abdominoplasty
Problems
Unlike a conventional liposuction, the patient needs hospital stay for 2-3 days. There is significant paraesthesia for a period of almost 6 weeks, and it is very important to forewarn the patient about this. There is a greater period of rest required, due to more tissue reaction and swelling. There is a longer complete recovery period, with almost 3 months for the final result.
