What Is VASER Liposuction?

VASER Liposuction is an advanced body contouring procedure that uses controlled ultrasound energy to break apart and emulsify fat cells before they are removed. A specialized probe delivers sound waves that specifically target fat, loosening it from surrounding tissues. This process allows for more precise and gentle fat removal compared to traditional liposuction methods.

Your VASER Liposuction Procedure Overview

Ultrasound Fat Emulsification

The core of the VASER technique is its use of ultrasound energy. A small probe is inserted through tiny incisions, delivering controlled sound waves that gently liquefy targeted fat cells. This process is selective, preserving important surrounding tissues like nerves and blood vessels.

Advanced Contouring

After the fat is emulsified, the surgeon can use smaller cannulas and more detailed strokes to remove it. This technique facilitates the shaping of delicate areas and the enhancement of the natural transitions between muscle groups, enabling a higher degree of anatomical sculpting.

Versatile Treatment Areas

VASER Liposuction is effective on various parts of the body where stubborn fat accumulates. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, back, arms, thighs, and jawline. The procedure can be tailored to address one or multiple areas during a single session.

Fat Aspiration

Following emulsification, the liquefied fat is suctioned from the body using a small, thin tube called a cannula. The cannula is inserted through the same small incisions used for the ultrasound probe, and the surgeon carefully guides it to aspirate the fat and contour the treatment area.

Consultation and Procedure Preparation

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. During this meeting, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and undergo an examination of the potential treatment areas. This is your opportunity to ask questions and understand the process fully.

Based on your consultation, a personalized treatment plan is created to address your specific concerns and anatomy. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach to achieve your desired outcome, explaining the details of the procedure. We ensure your plan is tailored to deliver natural-looking and balanced results.

Once your surgery is scheduled, you will receive detailed pre-operative instructions. These guidelines may include adjustments to medications, diet, and lifestyle to ensure you are in optimal health for your procedure. Following these instructions is crucial for a safe and smooth experience.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

Anesthesia and Area Marking

On the day of your procedure, your surgeon will meet with you to review the plan and mark the targeted areas on your body. You will then be administered anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. The type of anesthesia used will be determined during your consultation.

Step 2 of procedure timeline

Tumescent Fluid Infiltration

First, a special saline solution, known as tumescent fluid, is infused into the treatment area. This fluid helps numb the site, shrink blood vessels, and expand the targeted fat layer. This step minimizes bleeding and discomfort while making the fat easier to remove.

Emulsifying and Removing Fat

Next, the VASER ultrasound probe is inserted through small incisions to gently liquefy the fat. Once the fat is emulsified, a small cannula is used to suction it from the body. Your surgeon meticulously sculpts the area to create smooth, natural contours.

Completing the Procedure

After the desired amount of fat has been removed and the contouring is complete, the small incisions are closed. A compression garment will be applied to the treated areas. This garment helps reduce swelling and supports your new body shape as it heals.

Recovery After VASER Liposuction

Your Initial Recovery Period

Following your procedure, you will rest in our recovery area before being discharged to go home the same day. It is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. You will need to wear your compression garment as instructed.

Returning to Daily Activities

Most patients can return to light daily tasks and desk work within a few days to a week. Strenuous activities, exercise, and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least two to four weeks, or as advised by your surgeon. Listening to your body and allowing ample time for rest is key.

Follow-Up Appointments

You will have follow-up visits scheduled to monitor your healing progress. During these appointments, your surgeon will assess your results and provide any additional aftercare instructions. These check-ins are important for ensuring a smooth and successful recovery.

Seeing Your Final Results

Initial improvements are often visible soon after the procedure, but your final, optimal results will emerge over several months as swelling completely subsides. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, the sculpted results from VASER Liposuction are long-lasting.

Happy Patients, Real Confidence.
