Vaser Liposculpture

In general, “liposuction” refers to the de-bulking of large areas of fat. Liposculpture is liposuction's more artistic cousin. It refers to a sculpturesque definition of muscles using fat to enhance them. It is also appropriately called body contouring; the procedure is designed to sculpt out a natural and athletic muscular structure while removing extra fat and inducing skin retraction.

VASER liposculpture is a highly advanced liposculpture procedure that uses VASER technology to assist in melting fat internally before it is suctioned away. This melting of the fat makes the tissue easier for the surgeon to sculpt.

Who can have VASER liposculpture?
For a large percentage of people, certain deposits of fat are more resistant than others, even with the most perfect diet and rigorous exercise routine. Liposculpture is recommended for individuals who are in good physical shape; yet, despite all their best diet and exercise efforts, continue to lack superb definition of their muscles. VASER liposculpture specifically shapes fat to enhance muscular structures.

What is VASER?
VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It is an ultrasonic assistant for liposculpture procedures.

The VASER technology allows the surgeon to first emulsify fat, making it a more liquified material that can be easily sculpted and suctioned. VASER gives the surgeon control over power levels during emulsification of fat, making it much safer than the first- and second-generations of ultrasonic liposuction.

The VASER liposculpture procedure Imagine trying to create a sculpture with a giant vacuum versus a small, pointed tool that is designed specially for the master sculptor. That is the difference between liposculpture without VASER and with VASER technology.

Performing liposculpture is easiest when done with VASER because Dr. Shapiro, a Scottsdale VASER liposculpture specialist, can melt certain areas of fat beneath the skin by using ultrasonic sound energy. This melting of the fat is essential to creating aesthetic results. Some fat is left over the top of muscle groups, giving them volume. Other areas are suctioned to create depressions between the groups. A very athletic structure is created between voluminous muscle groups and the depressions between them.

Skin retraction for sculpted results
Skin retraction is essential to a successful liposculpture procedure. The important connective tissues in the skin that are preserved during liposculpture retract when fat is removed from beneath them. They fit tightly over the newly formed muscular structures like shrink wrap.

Optimal skin retraction produce tight, lean looking muscles.
