Liposuction/Vaser/Renuvion
Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure that refines the body’s silhouette by permanently removing localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss operation but a targeted reshaping technique that enhances proportion and contour.
How Does Surgery Work?
For over a decade, the VASERlipo® procedure has used high-quality, minimally invasive liposuction technology to provide precision body contouring. VASERlipo® is fat-selective, targeting desired areas of fat while protecting other tissue from damage. VASERlipo® can be used on the full body and is gentle enough to use on delicate areas like the neck and arms.
During a VASERlipo procedure, the area to be treated is filled with a medicated solution. The fat cells are then treated with state-of-the-art ultrasound energy and are removed from the body through a gentle suction process. The surrounding tissues are left intact, giving you the smooth contours you want with less pain and recovery time than traditional liposuction.
Precise Fat Removal with VASERlipo®
An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASERlipo® is unique in its ability to target fat while leaving other important tissues intact. It’s minimally invasive yet powerful enough to eliminate large areas of fat, and gentle enough to treat more delicate areas.
Refine Your Look
A step-up from non-invasive procedures that rely on secondary reactions to reduce small amounts of fat over an extended time, VASERlipo removes visible amounts of fat immediately with minimal downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
The VASERlipo® treatment is an advanced body contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASERlipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body.
VASERlipo treatments have been available since 2001.
During a VASERlipo procedure, the area to be treated is filled with a medicated solution.

The surrounding tissues are left intact, giving you the smooth contours you want with less pain and recovery time than traditional liposuction.
VASERlipo is effective in one treatment. Most patients notice the difference immediately, but the skin needs time to tighten, so the final result can take 4-6 months.
VASERlipo can be used on a variety of treatment areas, including:
- Jowls, chin, and neck
- Abdomen, hips and love handles
- Back, buttock and thighs
- Arms
- Knees
The VASERlipo technology allows us to treat multiple body areas at one time, in one procedure.
- Improved body contouring over traditional liposuction
- Enhanced skin retraction for smooth results
- Treat multiple areas in a single procedure
- Less pain, swelling and downtime than traditional liposuction
- Immediate and precise sculpting vs. non-invasive treatments
VASERlipo is effective in one treatment. Most patients notice a dramatic difference immediately! After your treatment, the skin will begin to tighten over time. Over 4-6 months, skin will noticeable tighten with final tightening results in about 18 months
There is an advanced sculpting technique called VASER HiDef® — this allows the doctor to remove fat around muscle groups, making muscles look more refined. We can use this approach to help achieve the more athletic results that some of our patients are looking for.
VASERlipo uses a less aggressive technique than other liposuction procedures, so there is typically less bruising, less trauma and a faster recovery time for patients than with traditional lipoplasty. There is typically a 12-hour period of rest immediately after the procedure, followed by two to three weeks of general recovery when strenuous activities should be avoided.
