Development of Vaser Liposelection

Vaser Liposelection is performed under general anesthesia and takes longer to perform than regular liposuction. With regular liposuction, the doctor is removing the fat, whereas with Vaser Liposelection, the doctor is sculpting the body and skin for a smooth look. The desired area is injected with a saline wetting solution. The solution then breaks down the fat cells and they are removed from the body by the use of ultrasound technology. A small laser breaks down the fatty tissues. This allows other nerves and tissues to be unharmed, reducing swelling and recovery time. The cost of the procedure is more than regular liposuction, but the results are worth it.

Most problem areas of the body can be treated with Vaser. The most common are the arms, buttocks, thighs, abdomen, back and breasts for both males and females.
