Vaser Liposuction Surgery
Ultrasonic energy has been used for years in a wide array of medical applications – from catching that first glimpse of a baby to cleaning your teeth. Now the gentle power of ultrasound has evolved to fat removal. VASER® Lipo, or LipoSelection®, uses an ultrasonic technology that is tissue-selective. The ultrasound energy targets unwanted fat, but preserves other surrounding tissues—such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue— to promote smooth contours and rapid healing. Maximum results and minimum downtime are what you can expect with VASER Lipo.
What Can I Expect During a VASER Liposelection Procedure?
1. The fatty layer is infused with tumescent fluid.
2. The high frequency vibration of VASER ultrasonic probes causes the fat cells to break apart and emulsify into the infusion fluid.
3. Emulsified fat is easily removed via specially designed VentX Suction Cannulae or massage.
4. During the healing process, your skin will retract to give you a smooth, natural-looking result.
What is the recovery time?
The recovery with any Liposuction procedure is largely dependent upon how extensive the procedure was. If large amounts of fat were removed then the recovery time from this procedure will be much more. If you are moderately fit and had a more minor procedure then the recovery time will also be less intense. You should give yourself a few days to rest and recover and your physician will direct you as to the detailed plan of your recovery. You will most likely be required to wear a garment that helps with circulation but again each physician has his/her own methodology.

VASER® – Assisted High Definition LipoSculpture, or VASER Hi Def™, is an advanced body sculpting or liposculpture procedure/technique. This procedure creates a sculpted, athletic appearance in males and females by accurately removing superficial and deep fat around targeted muscle groups to enhance the visibility of the underlying muscle. Similar to 3-dimensional sculpting, VASER Hi Def liposculpture takes into account the shape and form of structures underneath the skin that create your natural body contours.
VASER Hi Def is performed using the VASER Liposelection System to selectively sculpture your body by removing the fat in the desired treatment areas. VASER Hi Def was developed as a sculpting procedure rather than a debulking or large fat removal technique. Therefore, the procedure is intended for generally fit men and women who have good muscle tone without excessive amounts of fat or excess skin. The typical patient maintains a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise, but is unable to achieve the desired muscle definition in places like the abdomen. It can also be done in areas like the female breast, male chest, back, arms, thighs, buttocks, hips and waist.
