Westlake VASER Lipo Plastic Surgeon

What is VASER Liposelection?

This advanced technique in liposuction is available at West Coast Plastic Surgery Center. VASER LipoSelection is an ultrasound-based technology used to melt fat in areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Large or small stubborn fat deposits on the neck, abdomen, waist, back, thighs, and arms can be removed during an outpatient procedure. Removed fat may be used for contour enhancement and additional body sculpting by reinjection in areas such as the face or buttocks.

First, the area to be treated is injected with special saline solution that helps numb the site and reduce bruising.  Then a small probe is inserted to apply sound energy to liquify fatty tissue while leaving other important tissues largely intact.  Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.

A safe and effective tool, VASER LipoSelection selectively targets fat cells and causes less damage to the surrounding nerves and blood vessels compared to traditional liposuction. VASER LipoSelection patients report tighter skin, a faster recovery, and minimal pain and bruising.

Ideal candidates for the procedure are patients who have excess fat deposits in localized areas and who are not obese. The fat removed is gone forever and does not go to other areas of the body. Additional weight gain after the procedure, however, may reverse the benefits. Best results are seen in those with firm and elastic skin. If your skin is loose and there are excess skin folds, the best procedure may be another type of body contouring procedure such as a tummy tuck or body lift in combination with VASER LipoSelection. Removing fat is not a substitute for weight loss. A healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise will improve the outcome and longevity of this procedure.
