VASERlipo™ Liposuction

VASERlipo™ Liposuction

Tissue Selective Liposuction

Dr. Carter is one of the only physicians in Colorado to offer VASERlipo™ liposuction procedure in an out-patient setting under local anesthesia. Early on Dr. Carter found that VASERlipo™ is the perfect complement to SmartLipo™ treatments for body areas requiring additional liposuction for optimal results. Together, these liposuction treatments can contour your body, giving you a smooth new shape with fast recovery. Typically Dr. Carter will use VASERlipo™ for de-bulking of large deposits of fat as well as performing high-definition/hi-def liposuction.

VASERlipo™, also known as LipoSelection®, is an advanced body contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body. What distinguishes the VASER Lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Innovative VASER technology breaks up fat while preserving these other important tissues to promote smooth results and rapid healing.

“Everyone in the office is friendly and knowledgeable. And the quality of the procedures is unmatched.”

Why LipoSelection®?

First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up fatty tissue with the VASER Lipo System’s ultrasound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal from the eye) to break up fatty tissue on contact while preserving other important tissues. Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
Dr. Carter has experienced great success in treating all of the following areas: abdomen, thighs, knees, buttocks, hips, back, arms, male and female breasts, love handles, chin, neck areas and just about any other body part you need treated.
There are limits to how much fat tissue can be removed from the body. One way to get a good idea for yourself is to stand and bend from the waist. The amount of ‘loose-hanging’ fat you can easily grab above / below your waist will approximate what can be removed. Bear in mind that this procedure is not intended as a weight loss solution. The goal is to create a slimmer silhouette. You may not notice a significant amount of weight loss, but you should be pleased with your slimmer new shape.
VASER® Lipo is performed in a clean or sterile environment. Dr. Carter performs in an out-patient setting under local anesthesia. You and Dr. Carter will decide the best type of treatment for you.
This varies with the extensiveness of the procedure—the amount of fat removed, the number of sites treated, and so on. Many patients report that they see results immediately after the procedure with the final result at around 3 to 6 months. It is important that you establish realistic expectations through discussion with your doctor.
This is a common misperception. Following your VASER® Lipo procedure, should you experience weight gain or loss, it will tend to be proportionately distributed over your entire body. Once you have fat removed, it is gone and, assuming a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and exercise, it will not return or migrate. However, because fat is necessary to a healthy body, some essential fat layers in any given site remain untreated. If you do gain a significant amount of weight, the remaining fatty tissue will expand. Normal aging changes can also be expected.
