for fat removal in the abdomen, lovehandles and back region, using both SmartLipo™ and VASER® .

The "after" photos are taken eight weeks after her treatment (except for the bottom one, which was taken four weeks after her treatment).

In less than one week, the patient reported that she has already gone down from 33 inches to 29 inches
in her waistline and continues to see definite improvement.

Her letter to our staff: "Thank you very much, Dr. Kwak, Debbie & Gen!! You have a wonderful staff!

Everyone was so helpful and easy to deal with on every aspect of this process.
You wouldn't expect a surgical procedure to be a pleasant experience but you all made it one by being so kind and attentive.

I am ecstatic with my results in just one month and can't wait to see the final outcome. I recommend LUMEN Laser Center to everyone.

Thank you again for making my procedure an easy and comfortable one."

Questions You May Have

What is VASER® Lipo? How does it differ from traditional liposuction?

VASER Lipo, also known as LipoSelection®, is an advanced body contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat.  An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body.  What distinguishes the VASER Lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.  Innovative VASER technology breaks up fat while preserving these other important tissues to promote smooth results and rapid healing.

How does VASER Lipo work?

First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making it easier to break up fatty tissue with the VASER Lipo System’s ultrasound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal from the eye) to break up fatty tissue on contact while preserving other important tissues.  Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.

What body areas can be treated with VASER Lipo?

Almost any area can be treated, including the abdomen, thighs, knees, buttocks, hips, back, arms, male and female breasts, love handles, chin, and neck areas.

How much fat can be taken?

There are limits to how much fatty tissue can be safely taken from the body. One way to get a good idea for yourself is to stand and bend from the waist. The amount of ‘loose-hanging’ fat you can easily grab above / below your waist will approximate what can be removed. Bear in mind that this procedure is not intended as a weight loss solution. The goal is to create a slimmer silhouette. You may not notice a significant amount of weight loss, but you should be pleased with your slimmer new shape.

Where is VASER Lipo performed?

VASER Lipo is performed in a clean and sterile environment right in our outpatient facility.  The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia (while awake), IV sedation, or general anesthesia. 

How soon will I see my results?  What is the recovery time?

This varies with the extensiveness of the procedure—the amount of fat removed, the number of sites treated, and so on. Most if not all patients report that they see results immediately after the procedure with the final result at around 3 to 6 months. 

What about future weight gain / fat migrating to other areas?

This is a common misperception. Following your VASER Lipo procedure, should you experience weight gain or loss, it will tend to be proportionately distributed over your entire body. Once you have fat removed, it is gone and, assuming a healthy lifestyle of proper diet and exercise, it will not return or migrate.

How can I be certain VASER Lipo is right for me?

If you are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise, VASER Lipo can provide a solution. If you are healthy and seeking a fast, low-pain solution to losing stubborn fat deposits, the VASER Lipo procedure could be your answer. We can assist you with your decision about potential areas for sculpting, anticipated results, and the recovery process.
