Vaser Liposuction is an advanced body contouring procedure using ultrasound technology to gently dislodge and remove unwanted fat with accuracy. Vaser allows for selective targeting of unwanted fat without destruction of the surrounding tissue, delivering tighter contours, quickrecovery, and subtle definition. Popular treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, chest, and back, making this procedure ideal for both men and women who want a sculpted, toned physique. At Moein Surgical Arts, Dr. Babak Moein applies surgical expertise and the latest Vaser technology to deliver a safe, predictable, and long-term solution.
VASER Hi Def lipo sculpting is a minimally invasive liposuction technique that uses ultrasound technology to break down and remove fat deposits. First, the targeted fat area is injected with a solution to numb the area and compress blood vessels.
Next, the VASER ultrasounds probes are inserted into the body through small incisions. The probes then emit a high ultrasound frequency, breaking down the fat cells. The fat particles combine with the injected solution which is then removed from the body using specialized cannulas. During the healing process, your skin will continue to retract, giving a smooth natural-looking result. This four-step process visibly improves your skin with long-lasting and remarkable results quickly.
VASER Lipo 360 treats the entire torso girth within a single session and treats the stomach, hips, back, and waistline simultaneously. It is this complete approach to body shaping, not fragmented areas, that results in full 360-degree body shaping.
The ultrasonic technology targets and eliminates fat and leaves the body's surrounding tissues intact, leaving contours and muscles looking sleek and defined. This process is best suited for extreme waist loss, hourglass body shaping, and baring of abdominal muscles.
VASER liposuction recovery is typically less painful and less time-consuming than standard liposuction due to its tissue-sparing ultrasonic technology. Patients experience minimum pain, managed with medication, and return to desk work within 5-2 days.
Compression stockings are to be worn for 4-6 weeks to reduce swellings and aid healing tissues. Gentle walking is advised immediately and strenuous exercise should not be resumed for 4-6 weeks. It reaches a peak of around day 3-5 then gradually tapers off over a few months.
Initial results become visible in two weeks with continuous improvement as the edema subsides. Optimal results typically become apparent after 3-6 months when tissues are fully scarred and contracted. Patients consistently report being pleased with the healing of the Vaser lipo process, citing less bruising and pain compared to conventional liposuction procedures.
Adherence to post-operative instructions, office follow-ups, and maintenance of constant body weight are also essential for maximum recovery and long-term results.
Vaser Liposuction (short for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) is an advanced form of fat removal that uses ultrasound technology to gently break apart and loosen fat cells from surrounding tissues. This allows for more precise and effective fat removal compared to traditional liposuction, with less pain, less trauma, and a smoother recovery.
Unlike general weight-loss methods, Vaser is designed to target specific stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. By focusing on these problem spots, it can sculpt and refine your body with natural-looking results. Patients often choose Vaser liposuction for its ability to deliver safe, minimally invasive, and highly targeted contouring while enhancing muscle definition.
VASER liposuction anaesthesia will depend on the area for treatment and your option. Small areas like arm or chin can be done under local anaesthesia and sedation, so you'll be alert and comfortable.
Larger regions or more than one region typically require general anesthesia, so you'll be asleep.
Your doctor will prescribe the preferred type of anesthesia depending on the size of the treatment, your desired comfort level, and medical history. In any type, VASER is formulated to reduce pain on and after the procedure.
VASER liposuction not only removes stubborn fat but also offers the added benefit of skin tightening. The ultrasound energy used during the procedure stimulates collagen production, which helps the skin retract and adapt to the body’s new shape. This makes VASER especially appealing for patients who want smoother, more refined contours. Many patients are pleased with their results, noting improvements not only in fat reduction but also in the appearance of skin dimpling and irregularities.
That said, the degree of skin tightening depends on the individual. In cases of moderate to severe skin laxity, additional procedures such as a tummy tuck, arm lift, or thigh lift may still be necessary to achieve the best outcome. For patients seeking sleek, natural-looking, and more youthful results, VASER liposuction remains an excellent option.
An ideal candidate for VASER liposuction usually has good skin elasticity, is close to their goal weight (within about 20–30 pounds), and has localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. However, patients with more significant skin laxity may benefit from combining VASER with a skin-tightening or lifting procedure to achieve the best results.
Once the swelling diminishes, your newly contoured shape will be more clearly defined. It is important to note that while the fat cells removed during liposuction do not grow back, remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. For this reason, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including a balanced diet and regular exercise—is essential to preserving your results over the long term.
Yes, the results of VASER liposuction can be long-lasting and even permanent, as the fat cells that are removed do not grow back. However, it is important to understand that the procedure does not prevent future weight gain.
If a patient gains weight after surgery, the remaining fat cells in the body can still enlarge, which may affect the overall contour. For this reason, maintaining a stable weight through healthy diet and regular exercise is key to preserving the results. With proper lifestyle habits, most patients enjoy their improved shape and definition for many years.
Yes, VASER liposuction is highly effective for male chest reduction (gynecomastia) and for creating a more athletic look through techniques like abdominal etching, defining the obliques, and enhancing pectoral contours. Its precision allows surgeons to sculpt the body in ways that highlight natural muscle structure, giving patients a leaner, more defined appearance.
Many men choose VASER not only for fat removal but also for the confidence boost that comes with a stronger, more balanced physique. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking results that go beyond simple fat reduction to achieve true body refinement.
The majority of complications tend to arise when liposuction is performed by inexperienced or unqualified providers. Choosing a board-certified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Babak Moein, who specializes in advanced body contouring procedures, greatly reduces your risk. Dr. Moein follows strict safety protocols and provides detailed pre- and post-operative instructions to ensure the safest possible outcome.
By selecting a skilled cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Babak Moein and adhering closely to all medical guidance, patients can undergo liposuction with confidence and peace of mind.
Unlike normal liposuction, VASER lipo is not intended for large-scale fat removal. Although VASERlipo is overall less invasive than traditional lipo, it still requires a cannula, a fat suctioning device, and incisions. But thanks to the breakthrough laser lipo technology, the cannula and incisions needed are significantly smaller compared to that of regular lipo.
