How does VASER liposuction work?
First, Dr. Buford injects the area with an anesthetic saline solution (tumescent liquid), which provides a numbing effect and aids in breaking up the fat. Next, he inserts the VASER wand beneath the skin and applies ultrasound to break up the fat cells into a liquid form. From there, he uses a cannula—similar to traditional liposuction—to remove the fat via suction.
Dr. Buford takes extra care to perform all liposuction procedures with precision to avoid damaging surrounding vessels and tissues; with VASER, because the fat has been broken down with ultrasound waves, removal is easy, and trauma to surrounding tissues is minimal.
Where can VASER be used on the body?
Like regular liposuction, your surgeon can use VASER almost anywhere on the body where excess fat can be sculpted away, including the arms, stomach, abdomen, waist, back, bra rolls, love handles, buttocks, hips, inner and outer thighs, knees, ankles, chest, neck, and chin.
What is the difference between VASER and traditional liposuction?
In traditional liposuction, surgeons use the blunt end of the cannula to physically break up the fat so that it can be removed. VASER allows the surgeon to use a gentler, smoother technique because, once inserted, the wand emits ultrasound waves that break up the fat. This causes less damage or “trauma” to surrounding tissues, so you will experience less swelling and bruising so that you’re back to normal quicker. VASER also facilitates a smoother, more sculpted result.
How men can benefit from VASER liposuction
VASER liposuction is a great option for men because it facilitates skin contraction in the treatment area. This makes it especially helpful in achieving the sculpted appearance that men want in key features. It gets amazing results for those looking to sculpt a 6-pack or to treat gynecomastia (excess male breast tissue) caused by fat deposits.
