Edit A guide to choosing the right procedure

<p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 7.1pt; text-align: left;"><u><strong>My Recovery</strong></u></p> <p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 7.1pt; text-align: left;">Despite being less invasive than traditional liposuction, it is prudent to keep in mind that as with any form of liposuction, bruising and swelling will set in and can last for a few weeks after the procedure. The body will naturally undertake the task of healing the bruising and swellings. The colour of the bruises will appear in hues of pinkish red immediately post-VASER, reflecting the colour of blood beneath the skin. Following that, the bruise will turn purplish black as haemoglobin in the blood undergoes a change. Thereafter, the colour of the bruise will turn greenish and then, fade to a yellowish tint, before heading to the colour of the skin tone.</p> <p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 7.1pt; text-align: left;">For the next few days, I have to be honest I was a little sore, tender and bruised (think how it feels to do around 1,000 sit-ups or tummy crunches in the gym, and you’re almost there!) don’t be under the misguided assumption that you’ll be back to normal “within a week” - I know recovery times very much depend on each individual but this is by no means a quick 24-hour recovery job.</p> <p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 7.1pt; text-align: left;">I also have to point out that VASER Liposuction has had many misrepresentations in the media and on the internet as a “lunchtime” procedure. For a start, the procedure took over two hours from admission to discharge (hardly your average lunchtime unless you're a chief executive) and secondly, there is no way on earth any individual is going to want to go back to work after having had such a procedure carried out on them. I’m a member of the media myself, but I do cringe sometimes when I see gross exaggerations and misrepresentations of very intricate aesthetic procedures such as VASER Liposuction being touted as “Lunch Time” procedures, they are not, so don’t be seduced by false hook lines like that - they are simply sales jargon to lure you in.</p> <p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 7.1pt; text-align: left;"><strong><u>Finally...</u></strong></p> <p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 7.1pt; text-align: left;">In terms of my expectations as to what the actual procedure would be like I was prepared and briefed very well and as professionally as I could be by the clinic and surgeon  I chose (a definite must-have for all prospective patients is good preparation, and realistic expectations). But after the bruising and swelling faded, the compression garments were removed and the recovery completed, was VASER Liposuction everything I expected it to be?</p> <p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 7.1pt; text-align: left;"><strong><em>Did I get the results I wanted? And was it all worth it?</em></strong></p> <p style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 7.1pt; text-align: left;"><a title="Read my final Blog and see my big REVEAL..." href="/blog/does-vaser-lipo-actually-work" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read my final Blog and see my big REVEAL...</a></p>
