While liposuction surgery is still a mainstay in removing unwanted fat deposits, many patients now prefer to take advantage of the advancements made in body contouring. Dr. Alexander Ereso is proud to provide VASER Lipo® to his Mountain View, San Jose and Bay Area patients.

VASER liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes ultrasound waves to emulsify fat. First, Dr. Ereso injects tumescent fluid into the layer of fat. Next, VASER’s high-frequency sound vibrations break up the fat in the fluid. Finally, Dr. Ereso will use a liposuction cannula to suction out the emulsified fat.

VASER Liposuction Candidacy

Patients who want to see a modest amount of weight removed from their bodies to achieve a more toned physique and are in good enough health to undergo an elective procedure are typically good candidates for VASER liposuction. Dr. Ereso will review several health factors to confirm your candidacy during a consultation for the procedure.   

VASER Liposuction Benefits

VASER liposuction works effectively on many parts of the body, including the stomach, hips, thighs, buttocks, back, neck, chin, arms and chest. Because of its gentle approach, VASER lipo will not disrupt or harm muscles, blood vessels and nerves in the way other body contouring procedures might.   

Comparing Liposuction to VASER Liposculpture

The main reason Dr. Ereso would recommend VASER liposuction over traditional liposuction to a patient is the amount of skin excess the patient will have after removal of the fat.  In some cases, if skin elasticity is poor or the amount of fat removal is excessive, the results of traditional liposuction may leave a patient with loose, saggy skin. To prevent this unwanted result, Dr. Ereso may choose to utilize VASER Liposuction to provide the additional benefit of increased skin contraction.

Why Choose Us for Body Contouring?

Dr. Ereso has spent his career helping patients achieve their dream physiques through various body contouring procedures. He takes an artful approach to VASER liposuction to ensure the results include an appealing shape.  

Preparation for Ultrasonic Body Contouring

Because VASER liposuction is not a weight-loss surgery, Dr. Ereso strongly suggests that you commit to diet and exercise to get close to your goal weight prior to this procedure. Once you have taken off this weight and only the stubborn pockets of fat remain, then VASER liposuction can achieve the best results.    

VASER Liposuction Recovery and Results

Patients can expect bruising swelling and soreness in the days following VASER liposuction. You will wear a compression garment around the treated areas of the body to help maximize the results of the procedure and to improve healing. Pain medicine will be prescribed to alleviate discomfort in the first week.   

The full results of VASER liposuction will manifest three to six months after the procedure. These results should last indefinitely, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Risks and Safety Concerns of VASER Liposculpture

As a minimally invasive procedure, VASER liposuction carries similar risks to traditional liposuction. Dr. Ereso will review safety tips with you to ensure you remain healthy during the procedure and your recovery.

VASER Liposuction Costs and Financing Options

The total cost of VASER liposuction varies based on the size of the desired area(s) to be treated as well as the number of areas. Dr. Ereso will provide a more specific cost during a consultation, and his staff can help you apply for CareCredit if you need financing to help pay for the procedure.
