VASER Lipo is a fat reduction intervention that uses ultrasound technology in combination with traditional liposuction apparatus. Dr. Scott Greenberg and his team use tools that pass high-energy sound waves through fat cells to disturb them, making them easier to remove. The VASER system offers a host of benefits over and above traditional liposuction.

About Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is one of the most advanced fat reduction techniques available. The technology gives patients more flexibility than regular suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) because it allows Dr. Greenberg to use harvested fat cells to contour other parts of the body.
During traditional SAL procedures, surgeons remove fat from the body using suction devices. Individual fat cells are “lysed” or killed, preventing them from being used elsewhere in the body for firming, shaping, and toning purposes.
But with VASER (which stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy and Resonance) liposuction, things are different. Dr. Greenberg preserves the viability of extracted fat cells so that they will survive if injected elsewhere (such as the cheeks) to provide long-term fullness.
VASER Lipo Benefits
VASER Lipo offers several benefits over and above traditional SAL procedures:
Less postoperative discomfort
Scientific research suggests that VASER lipo patients experienced less pain after treatment compared to those receiving regular liposuction.
Treat multiple areas in a single procedure
VASER lipo treats multiple areas in a single procedure, allowing you to reduce fat on your abdomen, buttocks, thighs and chest.
Less pain and swelling
Traditional liposuction procedures can leave patients with considerable discomfort and inflammation following treatment. But because VASER uses sound waves to emulsify fat cells first, damage to surrounding tissues is often lower. Dr. Greenberg’s patients often recover faster and experience less swelling than those opting for traditional surgical fat reduction.
Better skin retraction
Skin laxity is a risk after liposuction, which is one of the reasons some patients combine it with other surgical tightening procedures, such as tummy tucks. VASER lipo, however, offers better skin retraction, allowing the body to assume a more appealing shape.
Results in as little as a week
The VASER system starts generating results in as little as one week, thanks to precise sculpting and the ability to reinject viable harvested fat into other areas of the body.
Long-lasting results
VASER lipo physically removes fat cells which will not return (unless injected into another part of the body for contouring). Thus, sculpting effects are long-lasting.
