Safety evaluation of VASER® in liposuction surgery for body contouring improvement
Felipe Massignan
Advanced Nucleus in Plastic Surgery, Brazil
Statement of the Problem: Historically, many approaches
have been used to remove adipose tissue during liposuction.
Throughout the natural refinement process, improvements
were achieved by refining various aspects of the procedure,
such as surgical technique, cannulas and the use of adjuvant
devices. In this aspect, it is a walk without a finish line.
There are no definitive goals, only goals to overcome.
Traditional liposuction still faces the problem of being often
a strenuous procedure and considered by some surgeons
with as a technique without much refinement. In this
sense, any initiative capable of generating load reduction
and mechanical stress is a potential optimizer of results.
The third-generation ultrasonic device VASER® (vibration
amplification of sound energy at resonance), is intended to
bring greater safety and satisfactory results, especially in the
quest for higher definition and superficial liposuction.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: A retrospective
study was performed by analyzing the medical records of
patients who underwent liposuction procedure to improve
body contour with the aid of VASER®, from January 2015 to
June 2017, at Santa Mônica Hospital Center in Erechim, Rio
Grande do Sul. Surgical complications were evaluated and
compared with the available medical literature.
Conclusion & Significance: The medical literature, as well as
our analysis, seems to demonstrate that the use of VASER®
in liposuction procedures for improving body contouring
presents as a safe approach with low rates of complications.
The potential risks of using an ultrasonic device, such as
overheating leading to tissue ischemia, are mostly believed
as result of inappropriate device use.
Speaker Biography
Felipe Massignan is a plastic surgeon member of Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica
(SBCP) and American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). He is an enthusiastic medical
doctor in his expertise, adding current technical concepts with artistic skills that have been
developed since the beginning of his career. He especially distinguishes himself in body
contouring plastic surgeries. He has been seeking to improve his professional development
in major centers around the world. Currently, he has virtually become a reference in his
field by using ultrasound liposuction in high definition.
