How Does VASER Liposuction Work?
VASER liposuction is an advanced outpatient procedure that uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells beneath the skin, making them easier to remove. VASER liposuction utilizes advanced technology to specifically target and remove fat and fatty tissue, and is a form of ultrasonic liposuction. This technique uses targeted sound waves to gently liquefy fat while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue. The procedure is performed through small incisions, which help minimize scarring and speed up recovery time. The liquefied fat is then removed using thin, specialized tubes called cannulae. Compared to traditional liposuction techniques, VASER liposuction offers greater precision and preserves blood vessels, resulting in less bleeding, bruising, and a quicker recovery.
With minimal downtime and a focus on preserving healthy cells, VASER liposuction offers a highly effective solution for those looking to achieve their body contouring goals. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper diet after the procedure is essential to preserve your results and support the healing process, which can also positively impact your recovery time. If you’re ready to take the next step, schedule your consultation today to learn more about how this advanced method can help you realize your aspirations.
Where can VASER Lipo Smooth Things Out?
At Coastal Dermatology and Medspa, we put VASER liposuction to work on the spots that love to hang on to stubborn fat. VASER liposuction is ideal for body sculpting and refining body contours by targeting areas treated for excess fat and unwanted fat. Some of the most popular areas treated include:
The treatment area is customized for each patient to address stubborn fat cells, fat deposits, and the affected area for optimal results.
What Happens During My VASER Liposuction Session?
Dr. Goyal performs VASER liposuction right here in the office while you’re comfortably under local anesthesia. Then he gets to work by injecting a special saline solution (mixed with numbing medication) into the area being treated—think tummy, thighs, or wherever stubborn fat is present.
Tiny incisions are made so he can insert ultrasound probes. These small incisions help minimize discomfort and scarring, resulting in less pain and a smoother recovery process. The probes send out high-frequency sound waves that gently dissolve the fat cells. Once everything’s broken down, a small tube called a cannula helps remove the melted fat. This procedure is designed to efficiently remove fatty tissue. After that, the area is bandaged and patients are released to their responsible driver.
Depending on the area, the whole process usually takes about one to two hours. You will be able to go home straight after the procedure.
The healing process and recovery process are typically faster and more comfortable compared to traditional liposuction.
Jacksonville’s Top Questions About Vaser Liposuction
VASER liposuction offers a precise, minimally invasive solution for targeting areas of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise. This advanced outpatient procedure uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells, making them easier to remove while preserving the surrounding tissue.
Under the expert care of Dr. Sanjiva Goyal, VASER lipo is performed with precision and attention to detail, resulting in less bruising, a more comfortable recovery, and smoother, more natural-looking contours. It’s an excellent option for refining areas such as the stomach, flanks, and thighs.
After your session, expect a little bruising and swelling—that’s just your body processing the changes. A small amount of fluid might leak out for a day or two, which is totally normal. Dr. Goyal will give you all the need-to-know instructions, so just follow his lead, keep things clean, and take any meds he prescribes.
You’ll also be sporting a compression garment for a few weeks. It’s not the most glamorous fashion choice, but it helps with swelling and shapes things up nicely.
Full healing can take a few months, so give your body the time it needs. Stick to your follow-ups with Dr. Goyal, and before you know it, you’ll be enjoying the results.
VASER liposuction is generally safe and most people handle it well, but no procedure is completely risk-free. Some things that can pop up include:
- Bruising or some bleeding
- Skin that feels a little loose, or excess skin that may not retract fully; in some cases, loose skin or excess skin may require additional procedures such as skin tightening
- Changes in skin color
- A chance of hyperpigmentation in treated areas
Skin irregularities are a possible but uncommon side effect.
After your session, keeping the area clean is key. Watch for any signs that don’t seem right—like redness, warmth, or unusual drainage—and don’t hesitate to check in with the team if anything feels off. Patients should also avoid certain medications, such as NSAIDs and herbal supplements, before and after the procedure to reduce risks.
