What Is VASER Liposuction?

VASER (vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance) liposuction is an advanced method of liposuction surgery used to eliminate deposits of excess fat. The procedure is generally considered to be a more controlled and less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction.

Benefits of VASER Liposuction

For individuals dealing with stubborn excess fat, VASER liposuction can offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Eliminates pockets of stubborn excess fat
  • Safer and less invasive than traditional liposuction
  • Helps to create a slimmer, more toned figure
  • Improved self-confidence
  • Improved athletic performance
  • Increased wardrobe options
  • Shorter recovery than traditional liposuction

How Does VASER Liposuction Work?

The main way that VASER liposuction differs from other liposuction methods is the process used to loosen the targeted fat cells. Instead of scraping the fat loose or using lasers, VASER liposuction utilizes ultrasound energy to emulsify the excess fat. This makes it very easy for Dr. Kiwanuka to safely remove the liquefied fat without damaging any of the surrounding tissue.

What Should I Expect During the Surgery?

Once you’ve had your consultation with Dr. Kiwanuka to confirm that you’re a candidate and create your treatment plan, your VASER liposuction surgery will be an outpatient procedure. Typically, the surgery is performed using local anesthesia with IV sedation. To begin, Dr. Kiwanuka will make a small incision in the treatment area. She will then inject a tumescent solution beneath the skin to prepare your tissue for the ultrasound energy. Next, the VASER device will be used to deliver ultrasound waves to the targeted fat, which will then be carefully suctioned out of your body through a narrow cannula. Finally, Dr. Kiwanuka will close the incision with sutures and apply bandages to the area. Overall, the procedure can take anywhere from one to three hours to complete.

Am I a Candidate for VASER Liposuction?

Adults who would like to eliminate stubborn fat and achieve a slimmer, more toned figure could be good candidates for VASER liposuction. Ideal candidates should:

  • Be in good physical health
  • Have the desire to eliminate pockets of stubborn excess fat
  • Be relatively close to their ideal body weight
  • Understand that VASER lipo is not a weight loss procedure
  • Have reasonable expectations
  • Not be currently pregnant or breastfeeding

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

After your VASER liposuction procedure, you’ll likely experience some swelling and bruising, and you may need to wear a compression garment for several days. Most patients need to rest for two or three days before returning to work and light activities. You should also avoid strenuous physical activity for around four weeks.

How Long Will It Take To See Results?

You should immediately see improvements to your figure after the procedure, and the results will become more visible over the next several weeks. Usually, the complete effects of the surgery can be seen after around two to three months.
