VASER® Ultrasonic Liposuction in San Jose & Palo Alto
Many people choose ultrasonic liposuction in San Jose or Palo Alto to treat stubborn areas of fat. VASER® LipoSelection® builds on traditional tumescent liposuction methods with the use of ultrasonic waves. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman has completed post-graduate training in ultrasonic liposuction and understands the benefits of the procedure.
Dr. Hoffman performs VASER LipoSelection because the ultrasonic technology allows him to target unwanted fat with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues. Compared with tumescent liposuction, fewer nerves and blood vessels are disturbed during the procedure. As a result, recovery is faster with less bruising and discomfort, along with the smooth body contour Dr. Hoffman's patients want most.
When performed by a surgeon with Dr. Hoffman's education and experience, VASER LipoSelection safely and effectively removes both large quantities of fat and smaller pockets of fat that require greater precision. In addition to VASER and traditional liposuction, Dr. Hoffman's patients choose him for Smartlipo™, a laser-assisted liposuction procedure that can achieve both subtle and dramatic results.

The Procedure
For men and women in Palo Alto or San Jose, liposuction using ultrasonic technology may be performed using IV sedation or general anesthesia. As with other liposuction methods, tumescent fluid is infused into the target area to prevent pain and minimize bleeding. Through a very small incision, Dr. Hoffman will insert the VASER device. This device emits a high frequency vibration (ultrasonic waves) that will break up fat, making it easier to remove.
Recovery and Results
After ultrasonic liposuction, you should experience minimal pain and bruising. Only unwanted fat is removed during the VASER LipoSelection procedure, resulting in a smoother, more refined shape. Swelling will reduce quickly after the procedure and, as it does, skin should retighten as well.
To ensure that your results last for many years, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Fat cells that are removed during treatment will not return, but any remaining fat cells can become larger without proper nutrition and exercise.
