Q: What is VASER Liposuction?

A:

LIKE other modes of liposuction the fat filled areas are filled with a TUMESCENT solution (containing a numbing medication and a blood vessel constricting medication) this not only puff the fat up making it easy to pass the steel suctioning tube through but assures more even results, less pain and less bleeding.

What makes VASER liposuction unique is that next an steel tube is passed through the fat whose tip emits a high frequency sound waves which literally shakes up and blows fat cells SPECIFICALLY. In this way, fat cells are turned into a liquid emulsion WITHOUT injuring nerves and blood vessels. The surgeon then introduces the suction cannula and removes this fat fluid in a much easier less bruising fashion than other modes of liposuction.

The VASER is GREAT for shaping and contouring backs, man breast elimination and re-do liposuction cases.
