High-Definition Liposuction
IN HOUSTON, TX

VASER High-Definition Liposuction is a step up from traditional liposuction. Ultrasound waves are used to break up and emulsify fat before vacuuming it away. This procedure is safe for tissues and results in little bleeding, bruising, or swelling.

Depending on your situation, VASER High-Definition Liposuction may best fit your needs. Benefits of VASER Liposuction include little pain, bruising, or swelling and a fast recovery. It can also eliminate a larger amount of fatty tissue than some other methods while revealing better looking contours and etching of muscles. If you’re looking to accentuate arms or a “six pack,” VASER high-definition liposuction would be the liposuction style of choice.

To make a good candidate for Vaser Liposuction, you will need to be in generally good health and a nonsmoker. The procedure is designed to eliminate isolated areas of body fat; it is not a weight-loss tool. If you have stubborn body fat that is resistant to exercise and a balanced diet, you may make a good candidate for the procedure.

VASER Liposuction makes a good option for patients needing to address varying amounts of fatty tissue. The most common areas where it is used include the abdomen, flanks, arms, back, bra rolls, chest, and thighs. It is often the treatment of choice for small areas like the chin as well.

There is little downtime necessary after your VASER High-Definition Liposuction procedure. You will be sent home the same afternoon and are often given the green light to return in only a day or two. However, you may need to wear a compression garment continuously for a few weeks.

The results from VASER High-Definition Liposuction can last for years to come. Once fat cells are eliminated from the body, they are gone forever. Unfortunately, if you do not follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly, your existing fat cells will expand, taking away from your new figure.

As with the cost of any plastic surgery procedure, prices vary depending on multiple factors. This includes the area being treated, how much fat will be removed, and what kind of anesthesia will be used (local or general). According to RealSelf.com, the average cost of VASER Liposuction can start at about $6,000. However, this will be different for everybody. Remember, your satisfaction involves more than a fee.

Both VASER lipo and traditional power-assisted liposuction are used to remove stubborn deposits of fat from the body. The difference is in technology. With traditional liposuction, a cannula is used to break fat deposits apart before removal. With VASER, ultrasound technology is used to emulsify fat deposits before their removal, which allows for more complete removal and helps ensure ideal results. VASER also helps to reduce the risk of trauma on surrounding muscle and tissue and may allow for a shorter recovery period.

Risks that can accompany any surgery include excessive bleeding, poor reaction to anesthesia, and persistent swelling. These are reduced when you follow all of the pre and postoperative directions provided by our office.

Risks specific to liposuction include visible scarring, hyperpigmentation, asymmetrical results, and nerve damage. These risks are reduced when you choose to work with an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon who performs liposuction in an accredited surgical facility.
