Vaser Liposuction

Vaser Liposuction is a specialized form of liposuction that uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells. The word "Vaser" stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. This technique allows for targeted fat removal, body sculpting, and body contouring. 

Here's more detail about Vaser Liposuction: 

• Candidacy: The procedure is suitable for those who are in good health, have a stable weight but struggle with fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Patients should be 18 years or above and have realistic expectations about the results. 

• Results: Vaser Liposuction can provide immediate visible results, but the final outcome will be apparent once the swelling and fluid retention typically experienced after the procedure subside. This usually takes about 3-6 months. 

• Duration: The duration of the procedure can range from 1-3 hours, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. 

• Duration of Results: Results of Vaser Liposuction can be long-lasting, especially when accompanied by a balanced diet and regular exercise. 

Vaser Liposuction is often combined with Fat Grafting or Fat Transfer. In this process, the fat removed from one area of the body through liposuction is then purified and injected into another area of the body to add volume or shape. This can be an attractive option for patients because it uses their own natural tissue, so there's no risk of an allergic reaction. Common areas for fat transfer include the face (for volume), breasts, and buttocks. 

As with any surgical procedure, Vaser Liposuction and Fat Transfer have potential risks and complications, such as infection, bleeding, asymmetry, changes in skin sensation, and complications related to anesthesia. It's crucial to discuss these risks and your medical history with your surgeon during the consultation process. 

Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound for targeted fat removal and body sculpting, suitable for those 18+ with stubborn fat. Results are visible in 3-6 months. It can be combined with Fat Transfer to add volume elsewhere. Risks exist; discuss with your surgeon.
