Vaser High Def Liposuction Houston, TX
Offered at our convenient location in Houston, TX
VASER Hi-Def liposuction, or high-definition liposculpture, is an advanced body sculpting and precision liposuction technique that aims to create a chiseled, highly-defined physique. This technique removes unwanted fat from various areas of the body in the least invasive way possible. With VASER liposuction, surgeons only need to make one or two tiny incisions in the treatment area to suction out the underlying fat, with the added step of applying ultrasonic waves before the fat removal. When this acoustic, vibrational energy comes into contact with the targeted fat, it breaks apart the bonds between fat deposits and allows the surgeon to sculpt more defined results.

Why Is VASER Liposuction Superior?
A fit and toned physique is something that many people strive for; many spend countless hours in the gym and put in time and effort to plan healthy meals. Of course, these actions are a great way to feel confident and healthy. Still, even the most dedicated fitness enthusiasts may struggle with stubborn subcutaneous fat just under the skin. Other factors unrelated to lifestyle such as age, hormonal changes, stress, and genetics can all play a role in how and where fat is stored within the body. That is when many turn to VASER (vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance) high-definition liposuction, a solution that can help patients finally achieve the sculpted look they have been working so hard for. With this amazing tool in their arsenal, patients can finally eliminate stubborn fat for good and welcome the well-defined muscles they have always wanted. There are a variety of reasons for patients to feel excited about this innovative approach to slimming down unwanted bulges:
- It removes fat in any area of “pinchable” fat within the abdomen, back, buttocks, flanks, thighs, arms, neck, and chin.
- For large-volume liposuction, surgeons will only need to make one or two incisions about 1 to 1.5 centimeters in size. (1) Small-volume liposuction may necessitate even smaller incisions.
- Incisions do not require suturing and leave behind extremely minimal scarring.
- With proper weight maintenance, VASER can help patients attain permanent results.
- By applying ultrasound energy, surgeons can remove fat closer to the muscle, highlighting muscle definition more so than standard liposuction.
- VASER liposuction promotes a shorter recovery with less bruising during the recovery period. (2)
- This technique preserves vital nerves, fascia (a type of connective tissue), blood vessels, lymph structures, and skin better than standard liposuction.
- At The Clinic for Plastic Surgery, our surgeons can perform VASER liposuction using just local anesthesia and sedative medication.
All VASER procedures utilize ultrasound energy to break apart fat bonds to facilitate a smoother procedure and recovery, but VASER Hi-Def is specialized for patients who want a more athletic look in highly specified areas. It requires a precise surgical technique to remove fat that directly overlies muscle, allowing the skin to recoil and heal over these areas and create a more toned result.
Candidates
Deciding to undergo VASER liposuction can be a big step towards achieving your desired body goals. If you struggle with persistent subcutaneous fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, back, arms, chest, and legs and have a strong desire to improve your muscle definition, then VASER liposuction may be suitable for you. However, it is essential to be in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
Those with a serious heart or lung condition or blood clotting disorder should refrain from all elective procedures. Other underlying health concerns, allergies to procedure components, and unrealistic outcome expectations may be contraindications. If you have significantly lax skin, liposuction may worsen its appearance. In these cases, a tummy tuck– may be the most appropriate approach. An individualized consultation with Dr. Sukkar’s team is vital to determine your candidacy. We understand that VASER lipo can be an impactful solution, but ensuring a safe and successful procedure requires careful consideration of eligibility and potential risk factors.
Personal Consultation
During your consultation with Dr. Sukkar or Dr. Bedolla, you will get a chance to express your cosmetic concerns and how you would like to sculpt your body to create your ideal curves and definition.

VASER Hi-Def Liposuction Procedure Steps
Dr. Sukkar or Dr. Bedolla will inject a special saline solution called tumescent fluid into the unwanted fatty areas, further numbing the area and hydrating the fatty tissue to ensure it is responsive to the procedure. The solution will also shrink the capillaries to prevent blood loss.
Once your surgeon preps you, they will insert a probe that transmits ultrasonic energy under the skin. This VASER device will provoke cavitation, a process in which the ultrasound creates “micro-bubbles” in between tumescent fluid molecules, rupturing the membranes of fat cells and promoting easier extraction. (3) They will then use a suction cannula to precisely remove unwanted fat and create the contoured body features you have always wanted. Once they finish sculpting, they will bandage the minor incisions and monitor you until the anesthesia wears off.
Recovery and Results
As soon as your procedure is complete, your surgeon will send you home to heal. Because VASER avoids inflicting damage to the surrounding structures, you will experience less discomfort and pain after your treatment. During this time, you will need to use a compression garment to ensure your skin contracts optimally to your new and improved body contour. You may notice swelling and bruising in the area, but the discomfort will be manageable. You should be able to resume working in one to two weeks, however, you will need to continue to avoid intense or stressful activities for at least six weeks until you are fully recovered.
Ultimately, you can expect a gradual and dramatic improvement in your body contours, achieving a naturally toned, athletic, and youthful appearance. As the results settle in, you are likely to feel a significant increase in self-confidence and a sense of empowerment with your renewed physique.

FAQ
Is VASER HD liposuction painful?
VASER lipo is typically performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes discomfort during the procedure. You may feel some pressure and vibrations, but pain is generally well-managed. Post-surgery, mild soreness and swelling are common, but these are manageable with prescribed pain medications.
Is VASER Hi-Def liposuction safe?
This new technique is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. However, like any surgical procedure, there are certain risks, including infection, bleeding, and contour irregularities. These risks are mitigated through thorough patient assessment and carefully implemented surgical techniques.
How long will my VASER Hi-Def liposuction results last?
The results of VASER liposuction can be long-lasting if you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Surgeons permanently remove fat cells, but new ones can develop with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight and exercise routine can help preserve your sculpted appearance.
Does VASER Hi-Def liposuction cause weight loss?
VASER liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss method. While you may lose some weight due to fat removal, its main goal is to enhance muscle definition and body contours.
