VASER liposuction is an advanced body-contouring procedure designed to remove localized areas of stubborn fat that may not respond well to diet and exercise. Using ultrasound energy to help separate fat cells before they are removed, VASER-assisted liposuction can provide more precise fat removal and help improve body contours.
How Does VASER Liposuction Work?
During the procedure, a surgeon uses a small cannula to deliver ultrasound energy to the targeted fatty tissue. The treated fat is then gently removed through suction. Depending on the treatment plan, VASER liposuction may be considered for areas such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, arms, back, or other areas with localized fat deposits.
Recovery and Results
Some swelling, bruising, tenderness, and temporary numbness can occur after liposuction treatment. Recovery time varies depending on the treatment area and extent of fat removal. Wearing compression garments and following the surgeon's aftercare instructions may be recommended. Results develop progressively as swelling decreases and the body heals.
Is VASER Liposuction Right for You?
VASER liposuction is generally considered for adults who are near a stable, healthy weight and have specific areas of unwanted fat. It is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for weight loss. A qualified plastic or cosmetic surgeon should assess your health, expectations, and treatment goals before recommending the procedure.
