Vaser Liposuction

VASERlipo

Precision Body Contouring

If you’ve struggled with weight gain, and exercise and diet just haven’t given you the dramatic transformation you’d like, VASERlipo™ can help. VASERlipo uses a precise, minimally invasive liposuction technology that produces eye-catching results in just one procedure without the discomfort and long recovery times of typical liposuction treatments. The procedure is tissue-selective, targeting fat while protecting other tissues from damage. It’s powerful enough to eliminate substantial areas of fat but gentle enough to treat delicate areas such as the neck and arms. VASERlipo is clinically proven to produce even results in treated areas, leaving your skin smooth and your body beautiful.

Key benefits of VASERlipo:
Single procedure results with speedy recovery times
Improved body contouring over traditional liposuction
Easily removes large amounts of stored fat
Smoothes skin even in delicate areas like the arms and neck
Refines and accentuates appearance of muscles

LIPOSUCTION

Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness. Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately enhancing your self-image. These techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of the thighs, hips and buttocks, abdomen and waist, upper arms, back, inner knee, chest area, cheeks, chin and neck, and calves and ankles.

What’s the Difference Between Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck?

When it comes to shaping your abdomen, there are a number of options, including liposuction and a tummy tuck. There are major differences between the two procedures, and the reasons for having one or the other are also different.

Liposuction of the abdomen is a relatively less invasive procedure that suctions out fat from underneath the skin. There is no skin removal, and scarring is usually minimal. This procedure is usually best for women who are in good physical condition but are having a hard time losing flab around their midsection.

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is considered to be a surgical procedure that cuts out both fat and extra skin. This procedure is typically best for women with excessively saggy abdominal skin, usually a result of multiple pregnancies. It is much more invasive and expensive than liposuction, and the recovery time is usually much longer. There is also more scarring.

So which one is best for you? Every situation is different, so it is important to talk to your plastic surgeon about all your options. Contact Plastic Surgeon Dr. Gary Williamson today for a free consultation about tummy tucks and liposuction and find out which one is right for you.

Liposuction and Lipectomy

You’re frustrated with fat. It seems like no matter how much you diet or exercise, there are certain spots on your body that just won’t slim down. Liposuction surgery, also known as lipectomy or lipoplasty, can get rid of stubborn fat areas and help you get the look you want to achieve. This procedure can be very effective if you are physically fit and are just having trouble getting rid of that last bit of unwanted fat.

Liposuction can be a consideration in just about any part of your body – including arms, thighs, neck, waist, back, chest, and more. Liposuction surgery can be performed as a stand-alone procedure, or it can be combined with other plastic surgery procedures for a more complete and effective result.

It is important to remember that liposuction is not a cure for obesity – it is simply a way to get rid of stubborn areas of fat. If you are already in good physical shape, then liposuction can be a wonderfully effective option. Contact Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Gary Williamson, for your Free Consultation.
