VASER LipoSelection® site

VASER LipoSelection® combines new patented technology with advanced surgical techniques to break up and remove fatty tissue. Unwanted fat can be efficiently removed from abs, arms, back, hips, knees, love handles, neck and chin, saddlebags, thighs - any place you've developed a little "extra cushioning."

The VASER System uses ultrasound energy to break up and emulsify fat, leaving surrounding tissue - such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue - relatively intact.

The VASER LipoSelection® procedure uses the VASER System's patented innovative ultrasound technology for fatty tissue emulsion and proprietary cannulae designed to minimize tissue trauma during aspiration. Because nerves and blood vessels are largely undisturbed, patients and physicians report low to minimal pain and bruising. Moreover, the VASER LipoSelection® procedure allows physicians to work with such precision that they can shape delicate areas like the inner thighs, arms, chin and neck.

Fatty tissue consists primarily of adipose (fat) cells, but it also contains other important tissues, including nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

• The VASER System utilizes proprietary ultrasound technology to break up fatty tissue before removal.
  
  

• Sound energy, similar to that used to remove a cataract from the eye, fragments fatty tissue. Fat cells, which are large and soft, break apart (think of how easily a full water balloon will burst) while leaving nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue largely undisturbed.

Once emulsified, fat is removed with minimal disturbance to important structural tissue, yielding smooth results.

Cross-section graphically represented on the left illustrates fatty tissue before the VASER LipoSelection® procedure.

Magnified representation on the right illustrates how - following VASER LipoSelection® - nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue remain largely undisturbed.
