Who is a Candidate for vaser liposuction?
During your consultation, Dr. Katzen will closely evaluate your body to determine if you're a good candidate to receive abdominal sculpting. To be considered for this toning procedure, you should be within a normal weight range with isolated pockets of fat on your stomach that prevents you from achieving the defined look you want. You could also be a candidate if you have a low body fat percentage (ideally under 20%) and have tried to define your core with a high-protein diet, regular cardio, and abdominal strength training. Due to genetics, hormones, or pregnancy, you might naturally be unable to get washboard abs without cosmetic intervention.
what to expect during vaser liposuction
Abdominal sculpting is a minimally invasive procedure that requires a shorter recovery period than many other techniques. For your treatment, you will be placed under general anesthesia. Dr. Katzen will make about five tiny, pencil eraser-sized incisions, inject tumescent fluid into the area, and insert the VASER cannula to melt the unwanted fat. He will then remove the tumescent fluid and fat with liposuction techniques. From there, further liposuction is performed to sculpt the abdominal muscles and define the transverse inscriptions. Once the fat is removed and the abdominal muscles are completely defined, he will close the incisions with sutures.

Following the procedure, you will be fitted with pads and a compression garment to reduce bruising and swelling, which should diminish in about two weeks. You may experience minimal to moderate pain, but you may be able to return to work within 5 – 7 days and resume exercise within three weeks.

VASER® Liposuction FAQs
Will I have "washboard abs?"
Ab sculpting is a procedure that targets the abdominal muscles to define the contours of your stomach, giving the appearance of "washboard" abs. It can be difficult to attain this look with just regular dieting and exercise if you have a resistant layer of fat cushioning your muscles. Sometimes, this stubborn fat does not respond well to natural means. To achieve the definition you want, VASER liposculpture technology is employed to remove these pads of fat and emphasize muscle tone.
How does it work?
Our abdominal etching procedure is performed using VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance). This minimally invasive surgery requires only small incisions that are often easily concealed due to Dr. Katzen's technical skill and the placement of the incisions. Once the incisions are made, a cannula is inserted to melt the unwanted fat. Further liposuction is then performed so your abdominal muscles are further highlighted and defined.
Will I have any scarring?
Because ab sculpting is a minimally invasive procedure, your incisions will be small. Dr. Katzen does his best to create the smallest incisions possible in indiscernible areas. If you practice proper after-care treatment of the incision sites, your scars will fade naturally into the skin and become unnoticeable over time.
Will my results last?
The results you reap from abdominal sculpting at our Beverly Hills, CA practice could last for years or even decades. As long as you maintain a healthy diet plan and exercise regimen, as well as keep a healthy weight, you can enjoy the benefits of your ab etching procedure for the years to come.
What is the difference between VASER and traditional liposuction?
VASER is an acronym for vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance. This method employs potent sound waves to effectively and gently break apart fat cells, offering a more refined and uniform fat removal process. Such precision in VASER liposuction not only facilitates more dramatic body sculpting results but also ensures a gentler experience for the patient. This technological advancement in liposuction allows for a more comfortable recovery, characterized by significantly less bruising and swelling, making it a preferred choice for both surgeons and patients seeking effective body contouring solutions.
How much does liposuction cost?
The liposuction varies depending on the technique selected and the amount of areas being treated. During your consultation, Dr. Katzen will create your custom treatment plan based on your needs and goals. He will also take into consideration your budget. When your plan is developed, estimated costs will be discussed. To help make your surgery easy to afford, J. Timothy Katzen, M.D. Beverly Hills takes many payment methods, and we can help you find low-interest financing.
