What Is VASERlipo?
The VASERlipo® system utilizes highly refined ultrasound waves to liquify fatty tissue cells. During the procedure, tumescent fluid is injected into the treatment area, allowing the ultrasound's high-frequency vibrations to break down fat cells. Tiny probes are then used to further disintegrate the unwanted fat, which is subsequently removed with a cannula through a small incision.Our surgeons at Aesthetica Plastic Surgery offer this advanced treatment to help smooth and tighten skin.
The Aesthetica Difference
At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, our surgeons are proud to offer Vaserlipo, one of the most advanced and trusted technologies in modern body contouring. This cutting-edge technique uses ultrasound-assisted energy to selectively target and break down unwanted fat cells while preserving surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue—resulting in less trauma and a more refined outcome.
VASERlipo stands for Vibrational Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, and it represents a significant advancement over traditional liposuction. By liquefying fat before removal, the procedure allows former precise sculpting, especially in delicate or high-definition areas like the abdomen, arms, back, and thighs. Because of this enhanced control, VASERlipo is ideal for patients seeking a more athletic, contoured appearance.
Additionally, patients benefit from reduced bruising, swelling and downtime, making recovery faster and more comfortable. When combined with our surgeons' expert technique and artistic approach, VASERlipo helps patients achieve smoother, more natural-looking results that align with their body goals and lifestyle.
Journey to Confidence
At your consultation, you will meet with our patient care team to review your medical history as well as your goals for surgery. You will then meet with your surgeon to discuss the details of the procedure, recovery and expectations as well as create a surgical plan to achieve natural, contoured results. Our office staff will provide you with a surgical quote and assist in scheduling a surgery date.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign surgical consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, get your pre surgery goodie bag and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions. Photos will be taken at this appointment.
You will arrive at our accreditated surgery center about an hour before the procedure will begin. You will meet with our incredible surgical team to get you comfortable in preparation for your upcoming procedure. The procedure typically takes about 2-3 hours after which you will recover in our post surgical recovery room until your caregiver arrives to pick you up.
After surgery, you may notice some bruising, swelling, inflammation and tenderness. It is normal to have some slight drainage from the incisions after surgery. Make sure you are walking frequently, drinking lots of fluids and getting lots of protein to aid in a smooth recovery.
Bruising and swelling will start within 1-3 days. Make sure to take your Bromelain and Arnica to minimize the effects of bruising and swelling. You may feel tightness, tingling, and numbness that should start to subside over the next couple of weeks. It is recommended to refrain from strenuous activity for 3-4 weeks following VASER liposuction surgery. Patients are typically advised to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks to help minimize bruising and swelling. At Aesthetica, your safety and recovery are our top priorities. We provide frequent post-operative visits to monitor your progress closely and ensure optimal healing. Additionally, patients have 24/7 access to an on-call nurse for any urgent concerns or questions that may arise during recovery.
Experience the transformation, notice the difference, and embrace your renewed confidence. Patients may notice immediate results after VASER liposuction surgery with optimal results appearing over the next 6-9 months as swelling subsides. Most patients feel deeply reassured in their decision to undergo VASER liposuction surgery, knowing they’ve taken an important step toward achieving balance, comfort, and results that reflect their aesthetic goals.
Aesthetica Plastic Surgery Reviews
I am a 33 yr old female. My liposuction results on my legs were beyond my expectations! I am thrilled. I always had trouble areas on my inner and outer thighs that would never tone up no matter how much weight I lost. Dr. Crofts is a professional, kind, and extraordinary surgeon. He also did my breast augmentation in 2010 and was a perfectionist. He even stayed 2 hours later in surgery then planned to make sure they were right. He will work hard for you to make sure things are perfect.
I am a 41-year-old female professional and mother of four. I had a Tummy tuck, and Liposuction with Dr. Kimball Crofts at Aesthetica. I am loving my new body. I have been wanting to have these procedures done for years. I have always exercised and eaten healthy, and never was able to improve my problem areas of sagging skin or large upper thighs. I finally decided it was my time and I scheduled a consult. The nurse I saw first was hands down amazing. She was so helpful on providing information so I could make a decision about what I wanted and expectations of surgery. I then met with Dr. Crofts and we discussed further my wants and desires. Together they made a potentially very uncomfortable situation for me into a very relaxed and comfortable environment. From start to finish Dr. Crofts, along with his nurses, took time, sat down with me, explained every details of what to expect, including understanding the healing time and the tricks and tips to healing best from a big surgery. From the time a scheduled my first appointment and walked into the office of Dr. Crofts for a consultation I knew I was in the right place. The front office staff and nurses make you feel welcomed and comfortable, even though I was discussing the most vulnerable areas of my body. I am about a month out and feeling great. I am so grateful for the AMAZING TEAM @ AESTHETICA. Dr. Crofts is a perfectionist and it show in his work. Together with his nurse’s Amy and Andrea, they go above and beyond for their patients, this is why I had an exceptional experience with incredible results. I highly recommend Dr. Crofts and the team at Aesthetica to everyone! Thank you kindly.
We couldn't be happier with the results of my daughter's breast reduction. Dr. Crofts is certainly a perfectionist and a very skilled plastic surgeon. My 17 yr old daughter went from a 32H to a 32C, which looks perfect on her frame. Dr Crofts did some side liposuction to get perfect contouring and gave her the wound vacs which made for a very easy and worry-free recovery. Everyone in Dr Crofts' office is so kind and they really care about their patients. We highly recommend Dr Crofts and his fabulous medical staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
What area of the body can be treated with VASER liposuction?
Typical areas that can be treated with Vaser Liposuction:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Hips
- Neck
- Thighs
- Back
Are results permanent?
Once the fat cells are liquified and removed from the body, they are completely eliminated. However, the fat cells that remain can grow and expand when weight is put on. Maintaining your current weight will help your amazing results last.
How is VASER liposuction different from traditional liposuction?
Traditional liposuction removes fat through a suction-assisted, hollow cannula using a controlled back and forth motion. VASER liposuction is considered less invasive than traditional liposuction. VASER liposuction uses ultrasound technology to gently break up the fat while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue which may decrease bruising and swelling.
Why are Salt Lake City patients choosing VASER® liposuction for body contouring?
Many Salt Lake City patients choose VASER liposuction because it can target unwanted fat while helping to create smoother, more defined body contours. The procedure is often selected by patients looking for a more sculpted appearance in areas that have been resistant to diet and exercise.
