To potentially supplement the results of liposuction procedures, Dr Vlad Milovic can use the VENUS Legacy™ system. This non-surgical treatment is designed to emit radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic energy to the skin, which can tighten and tone the surgical area. Generally administered in sessions that begin four weeks after surgery, VENUS Legacy™ can also reduce side effects such as soreness and swelling.*
Even non-surgical procedures carry risks and the potential for complications. While Dr. Milovic and our providers are extensively trained and experienced with a comprehensive array of non-surgical procedures and utilise advanced techniques to help mitigate those risks, patients considering treatment should always be fully aware of them beforehand. A member of our team will go over all risks and potential complications associated with the procedure during the initial consultation, and we are happy to address any questions or concerns you may have.
