New ultrasonic liposuction machine and technique revolutionize body contouring

Dr. Marosan is the first plastic surgeon in the Seattle area to introduce the VASER, a third generation ultrasonic liposuction machine

This is a technological leap over the existing UAL (ultrasound-assisted liposuction). It can deliver continuous or pulsed ultrasound energy via smaller grooved probes, which are more efficient at lower energy levels and can be used in more delicate areas. The VASER shortens surgery and anesthesia time, decreases tissue trauma, leads to less bruising and faster recovery with better results and is safer for patients. This gives the surgeon a much more precise sculpting capability which in turn reduces the potential revision rate (this could be as high as 7-10% with traditional liposuction).

The VAL (VASER-Assisted Liposuction) has three steps:

1. VASER for pre-emulsification of fatty tissue (ultrasound energy “melts the fat”)

2. Aspiration of the emulsion with the VentX aspiration cannula, which has been designed to aspirate more efficiently with minimal suction trauma to the surrounding tissues.

3. The advantage to the surgeon is that he can deliver better results and more precise sculpting with the VASER over current technology and have many happy and satisfied patients.
