VASER Liposuction represents a revolutionary body contouring procedure
designed to help patients achieve precise fat removal and body
sculpting. This advanced technique offers a sophisticated alternative
to traditional liposuction, utilizing ultrasonic technology for
superior results.

	* Targets specific body areas with exceptional accuracy
	* Minimal downtime and faster recovery

cells, allowing for more predictable and refined body sculpting. The
procedure's ultrasonic energy provides surgeons greater control and
patients more consistent outcomes.

Plastic Surgery Institute of Washington offers VASER Liposuction for
multiple body regions, including:

traditional liposuction. Most individuals return to normal activities
within days, with final results becoming progressively visible over
several weeks.

BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT IN NORTH BETHESDA, MD

UNDERSTANDING THE BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT PROCEDURE

A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is an innovative body contouring procedure

and aesthetically pleasing body silhouette by transferring excess fat
from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs.

HOW THE PROCEDURE WORKS

crease, around the areolae, or in armpit folds. Implants are placed
