Vaser Liposuction Bay Area

The absolute "state of the art" in liposuction, liposculpture, and high definition perfection is ultrasonic LipoSelection® liposculpture by Sound Surgical Vaser technique. Vaser is the way to the goal of best results. The Vaser is an ultrasonic energy delivery system that gently melts the fat and is very selective in protecting surrounding tissues. The Vaser is a low thermal means of delivering ultrasonic energy. It is so gentle that cultures of fat cells from virgin fat and Vaser fat grow nearly the same volume of cells in laboratory studies. It is excellent in fine detail sculpting of the face and neck area. Beautiful contouring is possible with the same precision plastic surgeons use to sculpt noses and eyelids. Neck contour results are spectacular. Patients with large, round, full faces are now candidates for facial liposculpting. Fat deposits in the head and neck resulting from protease inhibitor side effects can be sculpted away. High definition is obtainable with Vaser. Arms used to be a difficult area for liposuction contour surgery. The Vaser UAL system allows beautiful arm sculpting with enhanced skin contraction. Many patients are able to avoid the long incisions and resultant scars of brachioplasty because of the effectiveness of high definition arm liposelection liposculpture. Difficult back roll correction is made easy and is minimally painful with Vaser UAL sculpting. Even skin redundancy of the back responds to shrinkage with Vaser ultrasonic. The difficult bulges about the bra strap area are no longer difficult. The male chest with its fibrotic, hard fat has long been a challenge. The results from gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts) correction of the male chest with Vaser fine definition liposculpture is amazing and done via a small ¼ inch incision at the areolar junction.

Contouring athletes has long been a challenge because athletes (male and female) have much fiber in their fat. Yes, even triathletes and marathon runners have unwanted inherited fat deposits. Males have the spare tire remnants of the flank and abdomen and females have the lateral thigh saddle bags despite perfect weight and athletics. We are, to an extent, what we inherit and there was little that could be done until Vaser came to the rescue for these problems in athletes.

What other sites respond well? A better question would be what does not respond well to Vaser LipoSelection® liposculpture? The answer is simple. All areas of candidacy for liposuction are simply best done with best results and least pain by the Vaser Sound Surgical LipoSelection® system. Ankles that were long tough and difficult respond well to gentle contouring via Vaser UAL. A beautiful result is the rule. Calves and knees respond to high definition contouring by the Vaser UAL system. Even breast reduction can be performed in total or part via Vaser LipoSelection® liposculpture and with minimal incisions. Abdominal contouring for fine definition has been a most gratifying procedure, which was long thought difficult prior to Vaser LipoSelection® liposculpture in high definition mode.

What more is there to say. Vaser is a wonderful system. Results are precise, skin contraction is better, pain is less, and the post operative healing course is easier.
