Cosmetic Dermatology and Hair Care

In the field of plastic surgery liposuction succeeded in becoming the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedure during the last decade in both man and women. First liposuction was described with curettage technique and then dry, wet and super wet techniques performed as suction assisted liposuction (SAL). The first aim with liposuction is removing excess fat and making body smaller. On the otherhand, last ten years everything was changed and liposuction techniques are different due to understanding fat anatomy under the skin. To get better results all innovative plastic surgeons need more superficial liposuction with less complications, so more dynamic liposuction or liposculpture techniques was essential. When we want to get shaping on the body we should do more superficial liposuction. Third generation ultrasound energy (Vaser) is giving 36 Khz sound energy per second and it helps to emulsifying fat without any damage to surrounding tissues. Vaser (vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance) has provided liposculpture techniques to the superficial fat layers and this technique is more applicable for abdominal etching with less complication. Vaser is currently the gold standard for use in abdominal etching. Vaser Hi - def surgeries provide less complication and more successful results. The technique decision depended on the BMI (it must be <28), degree of skin excess, skin elasticity, patient's sportive history. Between December 2010- August 2016, 221 patients have undergone Vaser liposuction among which 89 cases were male and 132 cases were female. In this case abdominal Vaser hi def procedure was performed in the field of cosmetic surgery to 43 Male patients by same surgeon. All patients were satisfied with aesthetic results of their Vaser Hi-Def within the time of follow-up. Seroma rates were 8%, unsatisfied definition rates were 1% due to patient selection, hematoma rates were 1%, skin necrosis did not occur.
