Introduction

About VASER Liposuction

Having a toned, sculpted body is a worthy goal for anyone. However, the reality of achieving that goal can be very different. If you’ve tried and tried to lose fat and enhance definition but with no results, you’re not alone. It can be more difficult to love your body than ever when you have a picture in your mind of your results, but it won’t manifest, even after years of effort. VASER liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that precisely removes excess fat using ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL). VASER (vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance) is a revolutionary type of liposuction that destroys fat cells deep under the skin for more precise results. Known for its ability to emulsify fat, VASER liposuction can contour the abdomen to get rid of stubborn belly fat and reveal the natural contours underneath.

Candidates for VASER Liposuction

What Brings You Here?

VASER liposuction is one of many options for enhancing and contouring your body. There are likely many different factors that bring you here. If you identify with the following, you’re on the right track.

You Have Exercise-Resistant Fat

If you can’t seem to get rid of certain pockets of fat through diet and exercise alone, VASER liposuction can help. We tend to carry exercise-resistant adipose tissue (fat) around the abdomen, thighs, and arms, and it can be notoriously difficult to slim these areas.

You Have Good Skin Elasticity

Though VASER liposuction’s ultrasonic energy provides minor skin tightening, it can’t correct large amounts of excess skin. To get best results, your skin should be able to retract. If not, you may need to explore other options.

You Have Good Muscle Tone

Stretched and separated muscles can result in a bulgy look and weakness in the core. You don’t need to have bulky muscles, but your muscle tone should be good overall.

You’re in Overall Good Health

You’ll need to be healthy enough to undergo surgery. Dr. Tehrani will review your medical history and determine if any of your medical conditions could pose risks.

You Have Realistic Expectations

Although VASER liposuction can enhance contours and slim your stomach, it may not give you “abs.” Rather, it can define your stomach’s natural shape and appearance for a slimmer, trimmer look. Dr. Tehrani will discuss your picture of your results and help you understand if it’s within the scope of VASER liposuction.

You’re At a Healthy, Stable Weight

Maintaining your weight is important to the longevity of your results. You should be near your ideal weight and have good habits in place to maintain your weight.

VASER Liposuction Goals

How can this help me feel more confident?

Remove Stubborn Fat

VASER liposuction is ideal for removing stubborn fat from virtually any body area. If you’ve struggled to see results by losing weight, VASER liposuction can help you look like the best version of yourself.

Enhance Natural Contours

Losing fat doesn’t always produce the contours we want to see. VASER liposuction can enhance them for better, more noticeable definition that helps you feel most confident – both in and out of clothing.

Tighten Loose Skin

VASER liposuction can provide minimal to moderate skin tightening, making it a good option if you have slight laxity. The combination of skin tightening and fat removal produces a “shrink wrap” effect on the area, revealing previously hidden contours such as muscles and bone structure.

Benefits of VASER Liposuction

You’ll feel great in your own skin.

How can VASER liposuction help you achieve your ideal body? Dr. Tehrani will discuss the many benefits during your consultation to help you understand the ones that best fit your unique lifestyle and cosmetic goals. Here are a few of the top benefits.

Cutting-Edge Ultrasound Technology

VASER liposuction uses a powerful ultrasonic probe to break up the fat before it’s removed by a thin and hollow tube (cannula). Ultrasound resonance is similar to the resonance of fat, meaning the surrounding tissue is unaffected. VASER liposuction preserves the nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue located near the targeted fat, ensuring a safer, more effective procedure.

Personalization

We understand you want a procedure that’s unique to you. Because it’s so precise, VASER liposuction offers highly customizable procedure plans. It can be used basically anywhere on the body, including:

Abdomen, Flanks (Sides), Back, Buttocks, Arms, Inner and Outer Thighs, Knees, Ankles, Chin, and Neck

Cellulite Treatment

Because of its ability to tighten skin and remove fat, VASER liposuction can smooth cellulite in areas like the butt, thighs, and flanks. It can provide relief for one of the most frustrating cosmetic concerns we see from patients.

VASER Liposuction Preparation

How Do I Get Started?

If you’ve decided to undergo VASER liposuction to transform your body, then preparation is key to getting good results. Leading up to VASER liposuction, please avoid:

  • Tobacco and nicotine products
  • Alcohol
  • NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc.)
  • Certain herbal remedies and dietary supplements
  • Medications that impede healing

 

Make sure to manage your stress levels before your surgical procedure. Take time to also prepare your home for recovery. Although VASER liposuction typically requires less downtime than traditional methods, you’ll need to take a few days off work. Please arrange a ride to and from our office with a responsible adult and pick up any prescription medications before your surgery date.

Compare & Contrast

VASER Liposuction vs. Traditional Liposuction

VASER Liposuction

In many ways, VASER liposuction is safer than traditional liposuction, providing more defined and satisfactory results. It can remove stubborn fat, improve body contour, define muscles and curves, and improve the appearance of cellulite, all with the following benefits:

Less swelling / bruising, less blood loss, more selective when targeting fat, fat removal from both deep and superficial tissue layer, and the ability to treat many areas at once.

Traditional Liposuction

Traditional liposuction has been used for many decades and is still a treatment of choice for body contouring. It works best with large areas of fat, but doesn’t provide skin-tightening benefits. It also can’t provide the fine detail contouring you want to see.

VASER Liposuction Recovery

The first couple of days after VASER liposuction are often the most uncomfortable. Take short walks around the house to keep your blood flowing, but don’t overexert yourself. The length of your recovery depends on the areas being treated and the amount of fat removed, but you can expect a fairly quick healing period. Dr. Tehrani will provide a compression garment to shape your results and manage swelling.

Avoid strenuous activity and exercise for at least six weeks, and drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated.

Procedure Pairings

BodyTite

Additional skin tightening can help if you have skin laxity beyond the scope of VASER liposuction. BodyTite is a minimally invasive treatment that uses regulated radiofrequency to tighten the skin from underneath. Dr. Tehrani commonly combines VASER liposuction and BodyTite to improve your contours and avoid more invasive skin tightening procedures. BodyTite is inserted into the same incision used for VASER liposuction. The thermal energy induces collagen production that continues for months after treatment. The skin tightens immediately and only gets better over time.

VASER HI-DEF Liposuction

Using the same ultrasonic technology, VASER HI-DEF liposuction focuses on providing even greater muscle definition and contouring. If you want to accentuate your abs or the outline of your waist, Dr. Tehrani can use VASER HI-DEF liposuction to help you achieve your dream body contour. It can be used to treat the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, thighs, and arms for an unforgettable look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes VASER liposuction different?

Unlike traditional liposuction methods, VASER liposuction utilizes ultrasound technology to specifically target and break down fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues. This precision allows for smoother results and reduced damage to blood vessels and nerves.

How many VASER liposuction treatments will I need to achieve my cosmetic goals?

Most patients need only one procedure to reach their desired contour. If necessary, shorter and more focused sessions can be performed after a patient is fully healed to augment results.

Will the incisions used for VASER liposuction require stitches?

The small incisions created during liposuction procedures do not typically require sutures. In fact, they usually start to heal within the following 48 hours. Keep them clean and dry to avoid infection.

How does VASER liposuction break down fat?

Ultrasound technology breaks down fat cells into a liquid state, allowing for easier removal through gentle suction. This method targets specific areas of concern without affecting the surrounding tissues, resulting in smoother contours and precise fat reduction.

Is VASER liposuction safe?

VASER liposuction is considered a safe and effective body contouring procedure when performed by a qualified surgeon, such as Dr. Tehrani. It uses ultrasound technology to selectively target fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues.

What areas of the body can be treated with VASER liposuction?

VASER liposuction can sculpt nearly any area of the body, including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, chin, and chest. Dr. Tehrani tailors treatment plans to your unique body goals for smooth, defined results.

How long is the recovery time after VASER liposuction?

Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume normal routines in 1–2 weeks. Dr. Tehrani will provide personalized post-procedure guidance to ensure optimal healing.

Are the results of VASER liposuction permanent?

The fat cells removed with VASER liposuction are permanently gone, but maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving your results. Dr. Tehrani emphasizes the importance of healthy habits to help patients achieve long-lasting outcomes.

Does VASER liposuction help with skin tightening?

VASER’s ultrasound energy promotes mild skin tightening by stimulating collagen production. Dr. Tehrani often recommends VASER for patients seeking both fat removal and enhanced skin tone.
