in Winnipeg, Manitoba at The First Glance

You have two different types of Liposuction to choose from.

01. Cool Laser Liposuction
Cool Laser Liposuction destroys and removes fat cells in smaller areas, such as under the chin, neck, and jowls, male breasts, or areas with loose skin such as the arms.

02. Vaser Hi-Def Abdominal Etching Liposuction
Vaser Hi-Def Abdominal Etching is perfect if you want sculpted, perfectly toned abs, similar to what you see on top athletes. This technique is specially designed for the abdominal area.

Together, you and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will review all of your options in detail to determine which type of Liposuction is best for you.

Cool Laser Liposuction is a minimally invasive technology that liquefies fat for easy removal. It destroys and removes fat cells in smaller areas, such as under the chin, neck, and jowls, male breasts, or areas with loose skin such as the arms.

The Cool Laser Liposuction laser system contracts collagen and tightens the skin from the inside out, which cannot be achieved through traditional liposuction or “fat dissolving” treatments.

Your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will insert a small cannula, which contains the Cool Laser Liposuction laser fiber under the skin. The energy from the laser disrupts and liquefies the fat, tightens the skin, then the fat is removed via Liposuction. This is a short and gentle procedure performed under local anesthesia typically within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the areas treated. You can go home immediately after your Cool Laser procedure.

After Cool Laser Liposuction, you can expect to be swollen, bruised, and have some discomfort in the areas treated. You will be given a compression garment to wear after surgery. You can return to work and daily activities generally 4 to 7 days after your procedure. Return to work will vary based on the areas treated. Strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise should be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks.

Thanks to all the different Liposuction techniques, virtually any area of the body can be treated. From the neck all the way down to the calves, Liposuction helps to sculpt, contour, and add more definition.

It is essential to realize that Liposuction is not a short-cut for weight loss. Healthy eating and exercise are still very important to incorporate into your lifestyle. The goal of Liposuction is not to lose weight, but to improve the body’s shape. You need to be in good health, at a stable weight and have specific but realistic goals for the improvement of your appearance.

Popular surgeries typically performed with Liposuction include Tummy Tuck, Arm Lift, Thigh Lift, Breast Augmentation, or a complete Mommy Makeover.

When considering a surgeon, it’s important to research all of your options and choose a specialist who is Board Certified in both Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. While many plastic surgeons perform Liposuction surgery, you should select a surgeon who focuses strictly on aesthetic and reconstructive Body Contouring surgery and is recognized for excellence in this procedure.

What are the benefits if your surgeon has a reconstructive surgery background?

Most of the world’s best aesthetic surgeons began with reconstructive practices. In fact, almost all of the groundbreaking techniques in aesthetic surgery have reconstructive origins. Reconstructive surgery cases are typically more complex and often require highly specialized surgical techniques. Comfort, confidence, and predictability with advanced reconstructive surgery techniques have become powerful tools often adapted to aesthetic procedures.

Vaser Hi-Def Abdominal Etching is perfect if you want sculpted, perfectly toned abs, similar to what you see on top athletes.

Abdominal etching is a sculpting technique that emphasizes the appearance of the vertical muscles in the center of the abdomen, commonly known as the “abs.” By sculpting the abdomen to accentuate these muscles, you will look like you are incredibly physically fit.

To produce the same results by working out in a gym, you would have to work out three to four hours every day. In addition, you would need to keep your body fat very low.

Vaser Hi-Def Abdominal Etching is a Liposuction procedure created by Dr. Mentz in 1991 to contour the abdomen and waist for male and female patients to maximize the athletic appearance.

Depending upon how thick the layer of tissue is over these muscles, your board certified surgeon will sculpt the overlying tissue to the shape of a very fit and healthy “six-pack.” If the layer is too thin, it may be necessary to do some Micro Fat Grafting over each section of the six-pack. Micro Fat Grafting enables us to emphasize the muscular appearance even more.

Your newly sculpted abs will appear gradually over time as the swelling after surgery subsides. Similar to how your abs would naturally appear gradually over time if you began working out vigorously. You will not see your full results overnight, so your transformation will look to anyone else in your gym like you were doing this on your own.

Your board certified plastic surgeon will remove fat from precise areas through a small hollow tube inserted through tiny incisions. Most of the incisions are hidden in the pubic hair and in natural creases of the body, leaving only tiny incision lines that will fade and smooth out as you heal over time.

The abdomen is suctioned to thin the fat pad, then more aggressively over the external obliques, linea alba, and transverse inscriptions. This technique reveals and enhances the muscular contour to achieve a more athletic appearance.

Vaser Hi-Def Abdominal Etching does not interfere with the muscles’ function in any way, and you can resume your workout within a week or two, depending on the extent of your procedure.

This procedure typically takes anywhere from 1 to 2 hours to perform under local or general anesthesia.

Depending on the extent of the Vaser Hi-Def Abdominal Etching, recovery time is very minimal.

You will experience minor bruising, swelling, and discomfort, which may last four days to approximately one week. Most people can return to work within a few days of the procedure.

Recovery is typically 3 to 5 days, and patients usually are back to workouts within 1 to 2 weeks.

You will be required to wear a compression garment for up to 4 weeks after the surgery.

This advanced Liposuction technique is specially designed for the abdominal area.

Abdominal etching is not a substitute for weight loss. The best candidates are typically at their ideal weight with isolated pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.
