VASER® liposuction

Struggling to lose areas of stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise? SRMC Plastic Surgery offers minimally-invasive liposuction as a body contouring technique that slims and tones targeted areas by removing unwanted fat. Board-Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Linda Camp, M.D., FACS, performs the innovative VASER® liposuction at SRMC Plastic Surgery as a cosmetic procedure, with less recovery time than traditional liposuction.

Targeted Areas For Treatment

VASER® liposuction can be used to remove excess fat from various parts of the body, including the abdomen, chest, waist, back, hips, thighs and buttocks. It is also gentle enough to treat more delicate areas, such as the arms, neck and chin.

Minimally-Invasive Body Contouring

VASER® uses advanced ultrasound technology to break down unwanted fat deposits, so they can be more easily removed through a gentle suction process. Unlike conventional liposuction, VASER® precisely targets fat cells without damaging the surrounding healthy tissues, resulting in less pain, a faster recovery and smoother body shape.

Benefits of VASER® Liposuction

  • Easier and more precise removal of fat deposits
  • Smoother body contouring than a traditional liposuction procedure
  • Faster recovery time
  • Less swelling, pain and bruising after surgery
  • Minimal blood loss

Breast Reconstruction

In addition to its cosmetic benefits, VASER® liposuction can also be used as an option for obtaining fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs or buttocks; and using it to reconstruct the breast following surgery for the treatment of breast cancer. Because the VASER® uses a gentle fat removal technique, the extracted fat is higher quality and re-injects more easily and smoothly into the breast area than fat harvested using traditional liposuction.

What To Expect

Considerations

Choosing to undergo cosmetic surgery is a deeply personal, and sometimes difficult, decision. When deciding if cosmetic surgery is right for you, you should consider the following:

  • Your Expectations. The ideal candidates for cosmetic surgery are individuals who have reasonable expectations for their procedure and are well-informed about the treatment options they are considering, including the potential results that may be achieved as well as the potential risks and benefits.
  • Recovery Time. Depending on the procedure, you may need time to recover from your cosmetic surgery, which can range from a few days to weeks or even months. You are encouraged to learn what to expect at every phase of your treatment and recovery process. This includes considering how your recovery time may impact your personal and professional life. It’s essential to plan well to allow yourself time to heal and to achieve optimal results.
  • Expense. Because cosmetic surgery is elective and not typically covered by most health insurance plans, you will probably need to pay out-of-pocket for your procedure(s). Financing options may be available. Please call our office at 330-332-7383 for more information.

Consultations

One of the best ways to decide if cosmetic surgery is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Camp to discuss your expectations, goals, and any concerns you may have. During this time, Dr. Camp will:

  • Review your medical history and medications
  • Discuss your goals and expectations with you
  • Evaluate the part of your body you want to be treated and make recommendations
  • Talk about what’s involved in the procedure, including the risks and benefits and timeline for recovery
  • Answer any questions you may have

We encourage you to bring a list of questions to the consultation. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Camp, please call our office at 330-332-7383.

FAQs

What Is the Difference Between Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery?

Cosmetic surgery is performed to enhance or change a healthy, normal, functioning part of the body to improve appearance or self-esteem. Because cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure, the cost is typically not covered by most health insurance plans.

Reconstructive surgery is performed to correct a physical abnormality caused by a birth defect, injury or medical condition; to improve physical function or achieve a more normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery is often covered by health insurance plans, though the level of coverage may vary by procedure.

What is Recovery from Cosmetic Surgery Like?

Recovery time depends on the procedure, and can range anywhere from a few days to weeks or even months. It’s important to note that every patient responds to pain differently, and Dr. Camp will prescribe the appropriate pain medications to help minimize your discomfort. You should follow the post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Camp to allow your body time to heal and to achieve optimal results.

How Long Will the Results of Cosmetic Surgery Last?

The long-term results of cosmetic surgery depend on the type of procedure performed, your age and your overall health. You should discuss your expectations for the outcome of your procedure during your pre-surgical consultation with Dr. Camp.

What Should I Know About the Safety of Cosmetic Surgery?

If you are considering cosmetic surgery, it’s important to be informed about the safety of your procedure and the expected results. Thousands of people undergo cosmetic surgery each year without complications. However, no surgical procedure is risk-free.

To reduce the risk of complications, you should inform Dr. Camp of your complete medical history, including any medications you take, prior to scheduling cosmetic surgery.

For enhanced safety, our patients can be assured that:

  • Dr. Camp is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery.
  • Salem Regional Medical Center, the hospital where your surgery will be performed, adheres to the highest national standards for safety and quality of care, which includes accreditation by The Joint Commission®.

Is My Procedure Covered By Insurance?

You should contact your insurance provider to verify the details of your plan’s coverage prior to your procedure. Cosmetic surgery is typically not covered by health insurance plans because it is elective. Many reconstructive procedures are covered by health insurance, although the level of coverage may vary.

Are Financing Options Available?

If the cost of your cosmetic procedure is not covered by your insurance plan, SRMC Plastic Surgery may offer some financing options. Please contact our office at 330-332-7383 for more information.
