What is VASER Lipo?
VASER Lipo is shorthand for VASER liposuction which, stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. VASER is the Gold Standard in available liposuction techniques. VASER lipo utilizes ultrasound energy to gently convert fat clusters that are semisolid into single-cell units that are of liquid consistency.
The analogy that we use with our patients is to think of a cluster of grapes on the vine that then is gently shaken to drop their grapes. The conversion of semisolid to liquid fat cells occurs by a process called cavitation wherein the ultrasound wave expands air bubbles in between fat cells allowing them to free up. VASER lipo is unique in that it provides three important advantages over other liposuction modalities.

Selective Removal of Superficial Fat
Next, VASER liposuction allows for the advantage of removing fat from both the superficial and deep layers. This contrasts with traditional liposuction that has been limited to fat removal from only the deep layer. This is because liposuction cannulas can only penetrate the deep fat layer free of pillars called retaining cutaneous ligaments. This ligament compartmentalizes the superficial layer of fat and disallows the free movement of liposuction cannulas. Only with VASER can you reach the superficial layer of fat, allowing for muscle etching.
It is important to consider that proper liposuction requires the removal of fat uniformly throughout to avoid botched liposuction results such as waviness, lumpiness, or unevenness. Because of this prerequisite, the superficial fat layer that is compartmentalized cannot be defatted using traditional liposuction cannulas.
Attempts at the removal of this layer will result in contour irregularities such as divots and concavities. Instead, VASER liposuction uses narrow gauged rods to first melt the fat in both the superficial and deep layers. Once the fat is melted, it can be removed from both the deep layer as well as the superficial. Although the liposuction cannulas are still positioned in the deep layer to siphon the fat, the superficial liquid fat can now be pressed into the deep layer by the use of compression coupling.
Compression coupling describes the use of the non-dominant hand which is used to press and selectively sculpt the muscles highlights in the body. This is how we can achieve abdominal etching and the creation of a four-pack for females and a six-pack for males. Ultimately, VASER liposuction is unique in advanced body sculpting techniques that allows your surgeon to remove the unwanted fat surrounding your muscles to create a toned, athletic appearance.
Optimized Brazilian Buttock Outcomes
VASER liposuction has been shown to be a gentler technique for fat removal. This is because the melting of the fat cells into a liquid single cell allows for a gentler journey of fat cells as they are siphoned through liposuction cannulas. This is in contrast to traditional liposuction which pierces fat cells and likely nicks their membranes. More bruising and pain are the result with traditional methods.
With traditional liposuction, once the fat is transferred into the buttock, approximately 40 % of the fat cells are reabsorbed from the buttock when evaluated at six months. This is likely due to fat cell death following transfer and then the body's mechanism to remove the fat cells from the area. This is in contrast to reports of 90 % graft take and near full volume retention following VASER harvested fat cells into the buttock.
VASER Lipo Conclusion
VASER High-definition Liposuction is considered a “Game Changer” in the body contouring liposuction arena. Today, fat cells can be completely removed throughout the deep layers and selectively over the superficial layers to provide high definition liposuction results.
High definition liposuction has brought into consideration true artistry involving contouring the body, with muscle highlights, and natural yet stunning outcomes. This artistic and highly-skilled component of VASER HD Liposuction is exactly why it is critical that your surgeon has many years of experience and be an expert on muscle anatomy and localized and various depths of fat accumulation.
Surgery Overview
Procedure: VASER liposuction surgery requires the use of cavitation or the melting of fat prior to being siphoned out
Length: VASER liposuction surgery can be performed in 3 to 4 hours depending on the extent of the fat removed
Anesthesia: VASER liposuction surgery can be performed sometimes under regional but usually under general anesthesia
Place of Treatment: Surgical suite
Side Effects: Residual contour irregularities are rare
Recovery: VASER liposuction surgery patients will require 10 days of recovery prior to returning to work and physical functions
Duration of Outcomes: VASER liposuction surgery will traditionally provide permanent results as long as patients do not undergo major weight gain
