What is Vaser Liposuction ?Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance (VASER) or Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound waves to detect and liquefy the unwanted body fat which refuses to break from the body. In order to liquefy the fat, a small incision is made on the body through which special suction tubes called 'cannula' are inserted, which sucks out the liquefied fat. The liposuction technique varies from person to person upon whom it is applied. This is because, sometimes the excess fat is sucked out of the body of the patient directly; and sometimes the fat is liquefied and then it is sucked out through the 'cannula' tubes.
