What Is VASER Liposuction?
VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. In simpler terms, it uses ultrasound energy to loosen fat cells before they’re removed.
Traditional liposuction relies more on physical movement to break up fat. VASER, on the other hand, targets fat cells more selectively while helping protect nearby tissues like nerves and blood vessels.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
VASER liposuction can be used in many areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Back / bra rolls
- Thighs
- Arms
- Chest (gynecomastia treatment)
- Neck
It’s also commonly used for advanced body sculpting, where fat is removed strategically to enhance natural shape and definition.
What Is Recovery Like?
Recovery depends on how many areas are treated and how much fat is removed. Most patients can expect:
- Swelling and bruising during the first few weeks
- Wearing a compression garment to support healing
- Gradual improvement as swelling subsides
Why Choose VASER?
VASER liposuction offers a more refined approach to fat removal and body contouring. Using ultrasound technology allows for smoother results and more controlled shaping compared to traditional liposuction.
If you’re considering VASER liposuction, a consultation can help determine whether it aligns with your goals and what results you can realistically expect.
