Definition: An advanced form of liposuction that uses ultrasound energy (VASER) to selectively break up and liquefy fat cells before they are suctioned out, allowing for precise body contouring.
Procedure Steps:
1. Anesthesia: Tumescent local anesthesia (large volumes of numbing fluid) with or without sedation/general anesthesia.
2. Emulsification: Small probes emit ultrasonic energy to break apart fat, preserving surrounding tissues.
3. Suction: The liquefied fat is gently suctioned out through small cannulas.
4. Contouring: The surgeon sculpts the underlying tissues to enhance muscle definition (e.g., “six-pack” abs).
Purpose / Benefits:
• Purpose: To remove stubborn fat deposits and sculpt the body, creating a more athletic, muscular appearance.
• Benefits:
o More precise fat removal and body sculpting than traditional liposuction.
o Can promote skin tightening.
o Faster recovery due to gentler technique.
