Vaser Liposuction: Getting the Body You Want with Less Recovery Time

Patients who struggle with stubborn fat deposits often visit the Raleigh, North Carolina, office of Dr. Michael Law, a top board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Law possesses both the surgical finesse and strong sense of artistry that is needed to successfully perform Vaser liposuction — one of the most advanced body contouring procedures available.

A specialized form of liposuction, Vaser liposuction removes targeted areas of fat that fail to respond to healthy weight loss methods. Using his surgical skills and gentle touch, Dr. Law gently reshapes the body to achieve slimmer, natural-looking contours that achieve dramatic improvements.

What is the Difference between Vaser Liposuction and Traditional Liposuction?

During traditional liposuction, Dr. Law creates several incisions in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring. Then, he infuses a wetting solution of saline and epinephrine, decreasing the amount of blood loss and giving patients safer treatments. Following infusion, Dr. Law inserts a cannula through the incisions to dislodge and vacuum out stubborn fat cells.

The process of performing Vaser liposuction is similar to traditional liposuction, except after applying the wetting solution, Dr. Law administers sophisticated ultrasound technology to break apart fatty deposits. Then, the fat is removed with the cannula.

Using state-of-the-art ultrasound technology in Vaser liposuction allows several advantages, including higher levels of precision, faster recovery periods, and minimal pain and bruising. Unlike traditional liposuction, Vaser liposuction targets fat tissue, while not damaging other important tissues, like nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues.

Can I Undergo Vaser Liposuction?

Vaser liposuction is not fit for everyone, which is why Dr. Law thoroughly evaluates patients to determine if they are good candidates for the procedure.

Patients who wish to undergo Vaser liposuction should maintain a healthy weight for at least a year, as well as have realistic expectations for the procedure. Vaser liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss surgery, but rather, a body contouring procedure that reshapes problem areas that are resistant to healthy diet and exercise regimens.

In addition, patients who have high amounts of elasticity in their skin enjoy more natural-looking results than patients who struggle with loss of collagen.
