VASER Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring

in Kirkland and Bellevue by Dr. Mark Tseng

For patients seeking advanced body contouring with minimal downtime, VASER liposuction offers a cutting-edge solution. Dr. Mark Tseng at Tseng Plastic Surgery provides this revolutionary liposuction technique in Kirkland and Bellevue, helping patients achieve smooth, sculpted results with precision. Whether you’re looking to remove stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back, VASER liposuction provides enhanced results compared to traditional liposuction methods.

What Is VASER Liposuction?

VASER liposuction (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) is an advanced, minimally invasive liposuction technique that uses ultrasound technology to gently break apart fat cells before they are suctioned out of the body. This method allows for more selective fat removal, targeting unwanted fat while preserving surrounding tissues such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. This results in a smoother, more refined contour with less trauma to the body.

How Does VASER Liposuction Work?

VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to emulsify fat cells, turning them into a liquid form that can be more easily suctioned away. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment. Small incisions are made in the target areas, and a VASER probe is inserted to deliver the ultrasound energy, loosening the fat for easy removal. Because of its precision, VASER lipo is ideal for both large-volume fat removal and fine-tuning smaller areas.

Benefits of VASER Liposuction at Tseng Plastic Surgery

  1. Enhanced Precision: VASER liposuction allows for targeted fat removal, making it ideal for refining contours and achieving smooth, even results, especially in areas requiring precision such as the abdomen, arms, or flanks.
  2. Less Trauma: The ultrasound energy used in VASER gently loosens fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, leading to less bruising, swelling, and a faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction.
  3. Improved Skin Retraction: One of the key benefits of VASER lipo is its ability to promote skin tightening in treated areas, helping to reduce sagging or lax skin following fat removal.
  4. Versatile Treatment Areas: VASER liposuction can be used on nearly any part of the body, including the abdomen, back, thighs, arms, chin, and even small areas like the neck.
  5. Smooth, Natural Results: The precise fat removal and reduced trauma ensure a more natural, contoured appearance without the lumps and irregularities that can sometimes occur with traditional liposuction.

Who Is a Good Candidate for VASER Liposuction?

VASER liposuction is ideal for individuals who:

  • Are looking to remove stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
  • Want to refine and sculpt specific areas of their body for a more toned appearance.
  • Are in good health and maintain a stable weight.
  • Have good skin elasticity to ensure the best results, though VASER also helps promote skin retraction in treated areas.

VASER liposuction can be used as a standalone procedure or combined with other treatments, such as fat transfer (for breast or buttock enhancement) or a tummy tuck, for comprehensive body contouring.

Recovery and Results

Recovery after VASER liposuction is typically faster and more comfortable than with traditional liposuction, thanks to its gentler approach. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a few days to a week, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Swelling and bruising are minimal, and you’ll begin to see initial results once the swelling subsides. Final results become visible over the course of several months as the body heals and the skin retracts to reveal smoother, more defined contours.
