VASER Liposelection® System

Patients who want to remove unwanted fat in various parts of the body can consider having VASER LipoSelection®, an advanced, patented fat removal technology that is used for problem areas such as the stomach, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, chest, breasts, knees, arms, ankles, chin, back and neck.

VASER LipoSelection® uses an ultrasonic technology that is tissue-selective, removing unwanted fat cells but preserving other surrounding tissues—such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Compared to traditional liposuction surgery, recovery time is faster and the pain and bruising are less.

In this technique, the incisions that the surgeon makes are small and heal quickly. A special saline solution is injected into the fatty areas. The fluid contains a local anesthetic to alleviate pain and blood vessel constricting drugs to minimize blood loss. A thin probe that emits ultrasonic waves is inserted and the energy delivered to the area breaks down the fat into a liquid form. The fat is then suctioned out through the small incisions.

Aside from fat reduction, VASER Lipo is also used for body sculpting and contouring in patients who already have good muscle tone without excessive amounts of fat or excess skin but desire a more defined and sculpted appearance.

Face lift Surgery with Bioabsorbable Endotine® Devices

A remarkable innovation in the art of plastic surgery to create more youthful and natural-looking faces was recently introduced in the Philippines. It makes use of the Endotine® implants developed by Coapt Systems, Inc., bioabsorbable devices that provide excellent three-dimensional lifting and sculpting of tissues.

When a person ages, the fat and tissues located over the cheek bones drop to a lower level. This makes the cheeks appear flatter, while the lower half of the face looks fuller. Traditional techniques of facelift surgery lift up sagging skin by pulling up the tissues and cutting out the excess skin. Overenthusiastic pulling unfortunately creates faces with a wind-swept appearance with the corners of the lips pulled outwards and the cheeks flattened.

The Endotine® implants look like a set of multiple tiny prongs or hooks. They are fixed to the bone and the surgeon lifts up the sagging tissues and drapes it over the devices, resulting in cheeks that look fuller, with a more tapered lower face. Thus, there is a restoration of a heart-shaped appearance that is characteristic of a youthful profile.

After surgery, patients may be able to feel a slight lump over the area where the device is located. However, this will disappear over time because the Endotine implants are made up of biodegradable material that resorbs or dissolves in the body within six to twelve months, during which time biological fixation of tissues to a higher level has taken place.

The Endotine® implants, developed by Coapt Systems, Inc., were first introduced in 1994. They are FDA-approved and are now used over 400,000 times annually by plastic surgeons in Europe and the U.S.
