Liposuction on different areas of your body target the fat deposits that are visible just under the bra line on the side and back of most women. Liposuction of the hips for men targets the area just above the waist, the area commonly referred to as the "love handles" or "spare tire." Liposuction of the thighs targets the inner and outer thighs on the legs. The unique problem areas in and around the flanks, hips, and thighs can be substantially improved resulting in a more proportioned overall body contour. Patients report that clothes fit better, legs don't rub against each other, and overall improved self-esteem with these simple yet very effective liposuction options. When combined with additional liposuction procedures, the results can be very dramatic.

Patients can also consider selecting VASER® Lipo, the newest technique in body contouring. Patients will see smooth results and rapid healing.

VASER® Lipo

People come in all different shapes and sizes. Every body type has areas that are predisposed to fat storage and, even with rigorous diet and exercise, those unwanted bulges often persist. Patented VASER^® technology and the advanced VASER® Lipo technique now offer a safe alternative for ridding yourself of those stubborn fat deposits to provide you a smooth new shape with fast recovery. 

What is VASER® Lipo? Is it different than traditional liposuction?

VASER® Lipo is a minimally invasive procedure that precisely and efficiently removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER® Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body. Only the VASER® Lipo procedure uses the proprietary VASER System to first liquefy fat and then remove it from the body to promote smooth results and rapid healing with only low to minimal pain. 

What happens during VASER® Lipo?

First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up fatty tissue with the VASER® Lipo System's ultrasound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal from the eye) to fragment fatty tissue on contact 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.

Is VASER® Lipo right for me?

If you are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise, VASER® Lipo can provide a solution. If you are healthy and seeking a fast, low-pain solution for losing stubborn fat deposits, the Lipo procedure could be your answer. Patients who say they would have never considered liposuction are now finding the VASER® Lipo procedure is a minimally invasive option for the achievement of their body reshaping goals. Although there are limits to the amount of fat that can be removed, your doctor can assist you with your decision about potential areas for contouring, anticipated results, and the recovery process.
