Those who struggle to find relief from pockets of stubborn fat can benefit from VASER liposuction. Candidates for traditional liposuction are typically candidates for VASER liposuction as well. The technique offers a less invasive approach to fat removal that appeals to candidates such as less discomfort and an easier recovery period. Patients may be good candidates for VASER liposuction if:
- they are concerned about fat deposits in the hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, calves, arms, back, or chest that are unresponsive to diet and exercise.
- they are in good health and relatively near their goal weight.
- they have good skin elasticity.
- they are committed to maintaining results with a healthy lifestyle including a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.

Because VASER liposuction is minimally invasive, it can be performed while awake if the patient chooses. During the procedure, tiny incisions are made to allow for ultrasound energy to be directed at the fat cells. The ultrasound energy destroys the cells, eliminating the need for a device to be used. The cannula is still used to suction fat cells out, removing them for good. The length of treatment will depend on the specific areas being treated.
Dr. Barone employs options and advanced techniques to reduce discomfort and downtime, including, intraoperative pain blocks with Exparel, naturopathic anti-inflammatory supplements, and lymphatic massage are utilized and can significantly shorten recovery times.
