Liposuction
Vaser Liposuction
For individuals looking for refined body contours, the services of cosmetic and weight loss surgeon Dr. Keneth Hall come highly recommended. Operating on many occasions right from the spa here in Rome, Dr. Hall consistently turns to VASER liposuction as the premier method for permanently addressing those stubborn fat pockets that just won’t go away, no matter how hard you hit the gym.
WHAT IS VASER LIPO?
VASER lipo is a way to get rid of fat using special sound waves. These sound waves gently shake up the fat cells so they become easy to remove. VASER stands for “vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance,” which is a fancy way of describing how the sound waves work.
This is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to contour and shape various areas of the body including:
Chin | Neck | Chest | Arms | Upper back | Abdomen | Hips | Buttocks
During the procedure, a thin hollow tube is inserted through a small incision in the skin. The tube is equipped with an ultrasound device that produces high-frequency sound waves that break up the fat cells, making them easier to remove. The fat cells are then suctioned out of the body using a specific machine.
Right For You?
WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR VASER LIPO?
In general, good candidates for laser ultrasound-assisted liposuction include:
Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
Individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouring
*These criteria do not rule out candidates
If you are bothered by excess fat deposits located anywhere on your body that don’t respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you.
VASER LIPO VS TRADITIONAL LIPO
Both VASER and traditional lipo techniques work well in getting rid of fat cells permanently.
VASER lipo, which uses ultrasound waves to break down fat before removal, is gentler and more precise compared to the regular methods. It’s perfect if you’re aiming for some body sculpting.
Traditional lipo, on the other hand, can remove fat, leading to a slimming effect but it does not break up fat ahead of time. Instead, it only suctions it out and it doesn’t help with loose skin.
ADVANTAGES OF VASER LIPO

Enhanced Skin Tightening

Procedure Details
VASER LIPO PROCEDURE
Dr. Hall initiates the VASER lipo process by outlining the treatment zone. In this phase, he takes into account the underlying muscles, ensuring both natural post-operative movement and aesthetically pleasing final outcomes.
To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, you will receive anesthesia. While most patients undergo VASER lipo with oral medications to promote relaxation, more comprehensive procedures or instances where VASER lipo is combined with more invasive surgery might necessitate anesthesia in the surgical center where you will be unconscious.
Dr. Hall commences the fat removal process by injecting tumescent fluid, which serves to numb the area and loosen the fat cells. Subsequently, he employs VASER lipo by using ultrasound energy to transform the fat into liquid form, which he then extracts using a power-assisted removal technique.
*Note: Some candidates will need to be treated by Dr. Hall in the surgical center and not in our in-house surgical suite. This will be discussed during your consultation.
What To Expect
VASER LIPO RECOVERY
Although VASER lipo is less harsh than traditional lipo, a certain period of recovery is necessary for the best healing outcome. It’s advised to follow Dr. Hall’s instructions and take some time off from your regular activities. Wearing compression garments for 3 weeks up to 3 months is essential to minimize discomfort and swelling after the procedure.
Throughout your recovery, Dr. Hall will offer suggestions for additional supportive measures. These might include lymphatic massages and other in-office treatments that aid in reducing inflammation, speeding up the healing process, and enhancing the results of the treatment.
During the consultation, the surgeon will assess your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, explain the procedure, and answer any questions you may have. This is an opportunity to address concerns and determine if Vaser Liposuction is the right choice for you.
