About VASER Liposuction
Even healthy individuals can struggle to diminish stubborn stores of fat on their body. Thanks to VASER ultrasound technology, patients now have a high-precision, safe solution that delivers beautiful results. VASER Liposuction treatment results are above and beyond the average body sculpting experience; VASER not only gives doctors a unique, precise way to remove unwanted fat, but it also allows them to contour fat removal to enhance the patient’s underlying anatomical structure, thus revealing and defining their hidden, natural features.
VASER, which stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, utilizes the intelligence of advanced ultrasound technology to carefully break down fat. The ABS Institute’s extremely advanced ultrasound technology greatly reduces the chance of damage to a patient’s adipose tissue, which is the layer of the body that contains not only fat, but also blood vessels, connective tissues, and nerves. VASER Liposuction allows for accurate, non-disruptive suctioning of localized fat deposits while leaving the nerves and vessels of the adipose tissue unharmed. (1)

The ABS Institute: Pioneers of VASER Technology
The ABS Institute is proud to be a leader in raising the standards of surgical excellence. The philosophy at the ABS Institute is a true appreciation of the innate beauty of the human body. Through the continuing work at ABS, we’ve pioneered many advances in surgical tools and techniques, including groundbreaking improvements to the cannula, aspiration, and fat grafting technologies, as well as Image-Guided ultrasound. VASER is the culmination of years of body sculpting innovation.
Benefits of VASER Liposuction
- Precision: The advanced technology of VASER liposuction allows for precise targeting of specific areas, ensuring a more sculpted and defined outcome.
- Improved Body Shape: VASER liposuction removes excess fat deposits, which can dramatically enhance the aesthetics of your body shape and contours.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: Compared to traditional liposuction, VASER liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that involves smaller incisions and reduces trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Smooth Results: The ultrasonic energy used in VASER liposuction breaks down fat cells while leaving important tissues intact, resulting in smoother and more natural-looking results.
- Reduced Downtime: Thanks to the precision and less invasive nature of VASER liposuction, the recovery time is typically shorter compared to traditional liposuction techniques.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence: Achieving the desired body shape and removing stubborn fat deposits can significantly boost self-confidence and improve overall well-being.
- High-Definition Liposuction: VASER liposuction is an ideal choice for patients seeking high-definition results, with enhanced muscle definition for a chiseled appearance. (2)
- Customized Treatment: VASER liposuction allows for customized treatment plans, addressing specific problem areas and tailoring the procedure to each individual patient’s needs and goals.
The precision of the ABS Institute’s VASER Liposuction technology elevates the human form to a work of art. VASER’s unique and advanced ultrasound technique identifies the difference between fat and the surrounding connective tissues. Minimal nerves or blood vessels are damaged during the procedure. The VASER technique can be performed on most areas of the body, including the neck, arms, abdomen, chest, hips, breasts, and legs.
A recent survey reported the following benefits of VASER technology (VASER Company)*:
- Patients see quicker results than with laser
- Fast patient recovery time
- Less pain medication required post-procedure
- Minimal bruising
- Reduced potential need for re-treatment
- Smooth, predictable results
- Skin tightening
- Increased precision
- Reduced physician fatigue
Traditional Liposuction vs. VASER Liposuction
VASER Liposuction, or ultrasonic-assisted liposuction, provides better all-around results and recovery than power-assisted liposuction and laser-assisted liposuction.
- Traditional methods remove fat through avulsion. This type of extraction can damage surrounding tissues. VASER uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to remove fat while leaving the other adipose tissue unharmed.
- Skin inconsistencies (bumps and rippling) can occur with traditional liposuction. Patients experience improved skin retraction and overall smoothness with VASER.
- With traditional liposuction, there is an increased risk of blood loss. With VASER, there is 7.5 times less blood loss than traditional liposuction. (Aesthetic Surgery Journal Study)
- Traditional liposuction means patients have an average recovery time, but with VASER, patients have a faster-than-average recovery
- Traditional lipo patients experience a good deal of bruising post-procedure. With VASER, there is minimal bruising.
Candidates
Ideal candidates for VASER liposuction are active individuals who are close to their goal weight but still struggle to lose certain areas of fat on their body. To see the best results from a VASER treatment, both men and women should aspire to maintain good muscle tone in the months before their procedure.
Liposuction, in any form, is not intended to be a weight loss solution. It is still possible for a person to gain back weight after his or her surgery. The VASER lipo procedure is not designed to treat large amounts of fat; the ideal candidate for VASER is someone who is otherwise fit and healthy but still has troublesome deposits of fat affecting their shape.
Candidates for VASER Lipo should also have an open, realistic attitude toward body sculpting surgery.
Personal Consultation
During your initial consultation, The ABS Institute’s highly experienced staff will perform a thorough exam to determine your candidacy for VASER lipo. After discussing your medical history and desired procedure results with you, we will recommend the body contouring technique that will be best for you. You will receive customized preparation and recovery instructions before your day of surgery.
If you would like to inquire about your candidacy for VASER lipo, please contact our office at (303) 708-8770. We will gladly get you started on a path toward a more toned, happy you!
Procedure
During a VASER liposuction procedure, ultrasound wavelengths create vibrations. A minuscule cannula is inserted at the fat extraction site, and tumescent fluid, a mixture of lidocaine and saline which enables the smooth removal of fat and an easier recovery overall, is administered. Instead of using high heat, which can damage tissue, VASER relies on ultrasound frequencies to break down stubborn fat deposits. The vibrations created by the ultrasound technology interact with the tumescent fluid air bubbles emitted by the VASER device, causing the bubbles to shrink and enlarge. The vibration, paired with the movement of the bubbles, makes the breaking down and removal of fat go much more smoothly.
Recovery
Patients will be able to return home immediately after their VASER lipo procedure, though it is recommended to take several days off work for your recovery. Recipients of VASER Lipo should make a habit of taking short walks during the initial healing period, as well as in the weeks following to maintain adequate blood flow. Strenuous activity can be resumed a couple of weeks after the VASER procedure.
Immediately following your treatment, it is normal for the treatment area to swell, and in some cases, the skin might be slightly pink. These effects will subside quickly.
Results
While everyone’s body heals differently, the majority of VASER recipients notice fantastically sculpted results as soon as the initial bruising and swelling subsides; results can be enjoyed usually in a matter of days! A patient’s final and best results will be evident after two to three months.
Theoretically, because the VASER Lipo treatment destroys fat cells, and adults cannot regrow fat cells, the results should be very long-lasting. However, fluctuations in weight in the areas surrounding the VASER treatment locations can still impair results. For this reason, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet. VASER Lipo will define a patient’s underlying muscle tone, but it is not intended to replace exercise and balanced eating.
Cost of VASER Liposuction in Denver
The price of a VASER Liposuction procedure will vary based on the number of areas a patient is having treated, the size of the treatment areas, and the amount of time required to achieve the desired contour. Our staff creates an optimal treatment plan for each patient.

FAQ
Are the results of VASER liposuction permanent?
The fat cells removed through VASER liposuction are permanently eliminated from the body. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to prevent future weight gain and maintain the results of the procedure.
Is VASER liposuction a good option for weight loss?
VASER liposuction is not intended as a weight loss method but rather a body contouring procedure. While it can remove targeted fat deposits and improve body shape and definition, it is not a substitute for weight loss through diet and exercise.
Does VASER liposuction leave scars?
The incisions made during VASER liposuction are strategically placed and minuscule, resulting in minor, well-hidden scars. Over time, these scars tend to fade and become less noticeable.
What areas of the body can be treated with VASER liposuction?
VASER liposuction is versatile and can be used to contour various areas including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, back, and chin.
