Liposuction at Transformations By MD

SMARTLipo™ is most effective in treating small areas of localized fat on the face, neck, arms, back, waist, abs, hips, thighs, and knees.

This revolutionary method of body contouring targets specific body areas with the power of laser lipolysis for melting fatty tissue. The SmartLipo system not only removes stubborn areas of fat but also works to tighten the skin in these areas, giving you the additional benefits of a reduction in skin laxity and the appearance of cellulite. This amazing procedure is done under local anesthesia with the patient completely awake and alert. Typically only one treatment is required for a patient to gain their desired results. In addition, the laser works to coagulate blood vessels resulting in minimal bruising and downtime compared to traditional liposuction. Results can be seen immediately with continued improvement over several weeks.

Transformations by MD is proud to be the only providers in Tucson to offer VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction technology.
This remarkable technique allows our physicians to make incredible changes in body contour and is often used in conjunction with the SmartLipo laser body contouring procedure for patients desiring a more dramatic change in appearance. With the addition of VASER technology, we can not only tighten and contour small pockets of fatty tissue, but we can successfully treat patients of all sizes who desire body shaping. VASER Lipo is a minimally invasive procedure that precisely and efficiently 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 conserving these other important tissues. Only the VASER Lipo procedure uses the proprietary VASER System to first liquefy fat and then remove it from the body to promote smooth results and rapid healing with only low to minimal pain.

Is VASER Lipo 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 for losing stubborn fat deposits, the Lipo procedure could be your answer. Patients who say they would have never considered liposuction are now finding the VASER Lipo procedure is a minimally invasive option for the achievement of their body reshaping goals. Although there are limits to the amount of fat that can be removed, our doctors can assist you with your decision about potential areas for contouring, anticipated results, and the recovery process.

What happens during VASER Lipo?

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 fragment fatty tissue on contact while leaving other important tissues largely intact. Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
