What is VASER Liposuction?

VASER Liposuction is a minimally-invasive procedure to remove the pinchable fat under your skin. VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It uses specialized ultrasound energy to easily break up fat deposits and remove them from the body. The VASER technology allows for a procedure more gentle than traditional lipo, minimizing excessive trauma to the body. This results in less bruising, less bleeding, and less discomfort when compared to traditional liposuction. In the hands of a talented and experienced surgeon like Dr. Friendlander, VASER can sculpt your body in such a way that it defines your underlying musculature!

Preparation

To prepare for VASER Liposuction, Dr. Friedlander will provide you with specific preoperative instructions. While every patient who comes to NorCal Liposculpture has unique needs, there are some general guidelines to follow. Patients must stop using tobacco products as soon as possible. This is not only for your overall health, but to also promote optimal circulation during and after surgery. You will also need to follow the doctor’s instructions regarding altering your medication regimen if it includes any medicines that thin your blood. These may include ibuprofen, aspirin, prescribed blood-thinning medications, and herbal supplements. 

To further prepare you for your procedure day, you will need to appoint an adult to drive you home after your abdominal VASER Liposuction procedure. They will need to remain with you for at least 24 hours. Any medications prescribed by Dr. Friedlander should be filled prior to your surgery so you have them on hand when needed. 

VASER Liposuction Procedure

When you arrive for your abdominal and flanks VASER Liposuction, you will meet with Dr. Friedlander to review your treatment plan. He will mark your midsection with a marker to indicate the incision sites, anatomical landmarks, and areas of focus. 

Once you are in the operating room, you will be given sedation to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. After the anesthetic has taken effect, the doctor will follow his markings and create very small inconspicuous incisions that will be used to access your belly and flanks. From there, Dr. Friedlander will use a thin, hollow tube, called a cannula, to inject tumescent fluid into the treatment areas. This will help numb your abdomen and flanks, further keeping you comfortable. 

After the fat cells are coated in fluid, the VASER probe will be inserted through the incisions, and the emitted ultrasound waves will emulsify fat, making it easier to extract. Once the fat is adequately loosened, the cannula will easily remove the fat deposits and excess fluid with the use of suction. During this time, Dr. Friedlander will sculpt and shape your midsection with precision to provide you with a slimmer silhouette. 

Recovery

After your VASER Liposuction procedure, your abdomen and flanks may be swollen and sore. You will need to wear a compression garment continually for several weeks to mitigate swelling and help your body adhere to its new shape. You may have drains placed under your skin for several days to remove excess fluid that may build up under your skin. Even though you may see immediate results from your abdominal and flank VASER Liposuction, your final results may take up to 4-6 months.

Results

Once you have healed from your procedure, you can expect to have a smoother profile. Your stomach and sides will be more toned and will more accurately represent the work you have put in to create the body you want! You may also experience enhanced confidence as clothes will be more flattering on you. No more hiding behind strategically placed hands and accessories. You will be able to flaunt your best self after VASER Liposuction of your abdomen and flanks.
