VASER 360 degree legs (circumferential)

We have had a resurgence of requests for the circumferential treatment of legs/ thighs.  Our success rate has been really good.
With the majority of patients also having mild lipoedema we always work hand in hand with MLD therapists.
Some of the excellent practitioners we refer to are Henrietta Cassar from MLDLondon , Julie Bradford and Petra Erving, Kimberley Harrington, Helen Fox
It really is vital to find a good therapist that will see you through the recovery period.

Obviously the more fatty deposit there is the more impressive the results will be.  We can however also make smaller thighs look more shapely by making them more proportionate.

The important factor is the skin texture and elasticity.  If this is not ideal then any removal of tissue may result in loss of skin turgor and resultant laxity.  Then one would need to consider a thigh-lift which is more complex and involves excising skin and pulling the remaining tissue tighter by stitching it back together. 
We would certainly recommend this option if the VASER liposuction is not suitable.
In all cases it is important to maintain realistic expectations.  We are not magicians and cannot create something out of nothing.......
In most cases we can create something more shapely that will fit much more comfortably in clothes especially around the hips and thighs.

3000 VASER liposuction procedures!!!

I am pleased to be able to share with you that I have just recently performed my 3000th case of liposuction using the VASER.
Due to patient confidentiality we could not share this publicly, but the patient was pleased to be able to celebrate this milestone with us.

We did however take a celebratory "Team" photo.

Looking forward to the next 1000!!!

Exercise after VASER lipo and Microlipo

After your surgical procedure you will need to let your body rest and recover.  In addition your nutrition will need to be balanced to help with the healing process.
Most patients who are active prior to the procedure get really itchy feet in the first week or two after the procedure as they feel lethargic and get the unfit feeling.

Stretching is very important every single day.  You want to get your body out of its comfort zone and break up the scar tissue.  Try touch your toes, flex to the right and the left and try and touch your knees.  If you feel any "knots" massage them with firm pressure.  These may come and go.  The more you stretch and massage the quicker the lumps and knots will disappear.  Remember that you will also feel numerous types of sensation - itchiness, hypersensitivity, numbness - all these are normal and indicate that the healing process is progressing.

Exercises you can start doing immediately after the procedure are hill walking and treadmill low impact, high incline walking.  You will prefer not to do any impact work such as running or jogging.  You can also go swimming after all the incision points have healed - generally a week after the procedure.

Obviously areas that have not been treated can be exercised with caution and if it feels comfortable then continue and build up the levels.  Your body will remind you what can what cant, or should not be done.
If any doubt just speak to your Doc.

I find it really helpful wearing a heart rate monitor as this can give you an idea of how many calories you are burning.  There are various types on the market.  Best to get one that determines the calories from the heart rate.  Ideally you want to get to heart rate ranges of 160bpm.  If you can sustain this for 40 seconds and then have a 10s rest and repeat the process about 4 times, would be good.  Your fitness levels will soon improve.

After 4 weeks you should be able to get back into a fairly normal routine.  Build it up slowly.   Don't jump straight into "Insanity".  Use a week to get back up to speed.

Central fat is worse than being fat all over

Scientists have now determined that central or visceral fat is more unhealthy than being fat all over.  See this article
Although this is nothing new there is a little more scientific evidence on the topic now.  We have always known that central fat is more harmful, but there has never been much evidence.  Clever Docs at the Mayo Clinic have now found out that the risk of early death is far higher when having a "belly" than being generally obese.  Now, this does not mean that its ok to be obese.  Central obesity is often associated with metabolic disease or syndromes and thus carries with it relatively more risk of early death.
It shows thus that it is important where you carry your fat.  Visceral is also rather difficult to target.  It only responds to exercise and dietary change.  Lipo is not an option here......
