Everything You Need to Know About VASER Liposuction

VASER Liposuction (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) is an advanced liposuction technique that uses ultrasound energy to selectively break down fat cells with high precision. This method allows for effective fat removal with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues, including nerves and blood vessels.

Unlike traditional liposuction, VASER technology is designed to target fat cells while preserving connective tissues, resulting in a smoother contour and faster recovery. It is particularly effective for individuals seeking body sculpting and definition in specific areas.

The procedure begins with the infiltration of a tumescent solution (a saline solution combined with local anesthetic) into the targeted area. A small probe is then inserted beneath the skin to emit ultrasound waves, which loosen the fat cells by disrupting their structure.

Once emulsified, the fat is gently aspirated through a cannula (thin suction tube). This process allows for greater accuracy and reduced tissue damage, making it ideal for high-definition body contouring, such as enhancing abdominal muscle visibility.

VASER Liposuction can be performed on multiple body regions, including :

• Abdomen and flanks (love handles)
  
• Chest (including gynecomastia in men)
  
• Hips and thighs
  
• Upper arms
  
• Chin and neck
  
• Upper back
  
• Buttocks

• Swelling and drainage are expected within the first 24–48 hours
  
• Compression garments must be worn continuously for 3–4 weeks to reduce swelling and support skin retraction
  
• Heavy physical activity should be avoided during the early recovery period
  
• Results typically become more noticeable after 5 to 6 months, as inflammation resolves
  
• Long-term results can be maintained with proper diet and weight management

VASER Liposuction is considered safe and minimally invasive when performed by a qualified specialist. However, as with any surgical procedure, some risks may occur:

Common side effects may include :

• Swelling and bruising
  
• Pain or tenderness
  
• Uneven skin texture or contour irregularities
  
• Skin laxity or discoloration
  

Seek immediate medical attention if any of the following occur:

• Yellow or green fluid discharge from incision sites
  
• Fever or chills
  
• Dizziness, nausea, or vomiting
  
• Shortness of breath
  
• Severe fatigue or weakness

VASER Liposuction offers a refined, targeted solution for individuals near their ideal weight who wish to eliminate stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is particularly suitable for those seeking defined body contours with minimal downtime. Interested in achieving a sculpted, natural look with advanced body contouring?
