Vaser LipoSelection South Florida

If you are struggling to lose those last few inches and no amount of exercise or dieting is helping, you may be an ideal candidate for liposuction surgery. At the practice of Constantino G. Mendieta, M.D., F.A.C.S. in South Florida, he offers patients Vaser LipoSelection ® to help them achieve a slimmer, better-contoured shape.

What areas can I target with Vaser LipoSelection?

This revolutionary advancement in lipoplasty ("lipostructure") technology is performed after the target area is injected with a solution used in tumescent liposuction. This fluid injection is comprised of saline (salt water), an anesthetic, and a vasoconstrictor in order to reduce bleeding, swelling, and bruising. Using an ultrasound probe to break up the deep layers of fat deposits, Vaser liposuction offers patients a more even, symmetrical extraction of fat and less discomfort during the procedure.

Dr. Mendieta then utilizes power-assisted liposuction (PAL) in order to easily remove fat from the target area(s). The most commonly treated places include the upper arms, abdomen, flanks, thighs, and buttocks. Should you wish to remove fat from more fibrous areas, such as the chest, our Miami plastic surgery professional may opt to combine SmartLipoT. This method requires the use of a laser to liquefy the fat cells in order to allow for easier removal.

Additional body contouring may be achieved by undergoing tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"), which is designed to remove excess, sagging skin in the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. The benefits of performing these procedures together can be discussed during your visit regarding Vaser LipoSelection near Coconut Grove.

Prospective patients may view examples of Dr. Mendieta's patient results in before and after liposelection photos. Our patient education videos provide you with further information on your procedure(s) of choice.
