What is VASER liposuction?

VASER liposuction is a fat removal and body contouring procedure that harnesses the power of VASER ultrasonic energy to break down fat cells. It differs from traditional liposuction in that it literally liquefies fat cells before suctioning the fat from the body.

This technique uses a specially designed probe that is applied to the targeted area before liposuction. VASER helps minimize damage to the surrounding tissue during liposuction.

The energy is very gentle (VASER refers to the use of vibration amplification and sound energy), and patients can be treated with it throughout the entire body, including the stomach, hips, face, back, legs, buttocks, and arms.

VASER provides significantly more control than regular liposuction. It’s a revolutionary combination of power and control, able to handle large areas of excess fat while also gently addressing more delicate areas of the body.

What can I expect form my VASER Lipo procedure?

For your VASER treatment, the area being addressed will be filled with a saline solution. This expands the fatty layer. The saline will numb the area for comfort, and will also shrink the blood vessels, which helps to minimize blood loss and bruising.

After the saline has filled the area, a probe will be inserted through a very small incision. This probe then disperses ultrasonic energy, which liquefies the soft fat cells as soon as it touches them. This makes it easier to remove the fat, and although the probe liquefies fat cells on contact, it does not damage anything else—it targets only fat cells.

After the soft fat cells are liquefied, a cannula will be inserted to gently suction the fat out in a precise and controlled way, without causing damage to the surrounding blood vessels, nerves, or tissue.

The area will be massaged and re-shaped. The loose fat cells help patients to get incredibly natural-looking results, even if the area being treated is sensitive or delicate.

VASER Liposuction Recovery

VASER liposuction is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. Because it is minimally invasive, patients often experience a quick recovery process with minimal discomfort.

Although patients typically return home after their Richmond VASER lipo procedure, they will need 2-3 days of recovery time before going back to regular activities. Any bruising or swelling that has occurred will also begin to slowly decrease by this time.

VASER Liposuction Results

The beauty of VASER liposuction is that it has the ability to accomplish significant body contouring, even in the more challenging areas. This is due to the accuracy and precision of VASER’s ultrasonic technology.

Patients may experience minimal swelling, but should also be able to see immediate results, which continue to improve over time.

Within 2-3 months, the final results should be developed, and in six months, the skin should be completely tightened. It’s important to note that patients can still put weight back on, so maintaining a good diet and exercise are necessary.
