VASER is a minimally invasive technique using ultrasound technology that is so versatile and so effective that patients can get slimming, beautiful results throughout the entire body, including the stomach, back, legs and arms.
VASER is also highly effective and the chosen device for those who are looking for hi-definition lipo. Because of VASER’s versatility, VASER Liposuction is a state of the art liposuction technology that differentiates itself from all other liposuction devices.
Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy to disrupt the fat cells which are then suctioned out in the traditional way using cannulas.
Doing this intermediate step of using the vaser probes after tumescent injection results in less bruising, swelling, and thus quicker recovery.

Vaser Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction, or Liposelection, specific targets fat in various regions of the body. Ultrasonic waves break up and separate fat cells for removal, while leaving vital tissues unharmed. Vaser patients typically report significantly improved shape with less pain and bruising, and therefore less downtime, than conventional liposuction.
First, the area to be reshaped is treated with a tumescent saline solution that helps decrease discomfort and constrict the blood vessels to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising. Then a small probe transmits ultrasonic sound energy to break up or liquefy fat on contact while preserving other important tissues.
Finally, the liquefied fat is removed with suction cannulas specifically designed to minimize trauma to surrounding structures such as nerves and blood vessels. The following areas can be treated with Vaser liposuctioning: abdomen, flanks or love handles, hips, inner and outer thighs, inner knees, anterior axillary (armpit), back, arms, male and female breasts and neck.
Many patients see results immediately after the procedure, but most experience some degree of swelling so initial improvement may not be noted until 6-12 weeks postoperatively. Due to the nature of the controlled damage to the collagen by the heat generated by the Vaser ultrasound probe there may be some additional skin tightening from the collagen regeneration with a final result stabilizing in 9-12 months.
Vaser liposuction is typically performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in an operating room under IV sedation or general anesthesia provided by an anesthesiologist. There is a common misconception that fat will move to other areas of the body following liposuctioning.
Following Vaser liposuction a thin layer of fat is intentionally left intact to yield a smooth, more natural appearance. Should one experience weight gain or loss, it will tend to be proportionately distributed over your entire body.
It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise post operatively in order to maintain the optimnal result.
