Before & After










Every body type has areas that are predisposed to fat storage and even with rigorous diet and exercise, those unwanted bulges often persist. Patented VASER® Technology and the advanced LipoSelection® technique now offer a safe alternative for eliminating unwanted fat, revealing a smooth, new shape with fast recovery.
The next generation in body contouring, VASER Lipo uses ultrasonic energy to selectively break apart fat deposits while preserving other important tissues. Whether you need help with a small problem area or a major transformation, VASER Lipo allows Dr. Orafu to do her very best work.
"I would never have considered traditional liposuction, but VASER Lipo made me finally decide to address those problem areas on my body."

VASER Lipo, also known as LipoSelection, is an advanced body contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, VASER Lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body. What distinguishes the VASER Lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues - such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Innovative VASER technology breaks up fat while preserving these other important tissues to promote smooth results and rapid healing.
VASER Lipo is performed in a clean or sterile environment. The procedure can be comfortably performed under local anesthesia (awake), eliminating the risks of general anesthesia.
First, the area to be reshaped is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). Next, a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal from the eye) to break apart fatty tissue on contact while preserving other important tissue. Finally, the liquefied fat is removed through a gentle suction process designed to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
VASER Lipo is for healthy patients who are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise and seek a fast, low-pain solution. Patients who say they would have never considered traditional lipsuction are now finding that the VASER Lipo procedure is a gentle alternative for body shaping. Dr. Orafu can assist you with your decision about potential areas for contouring, anticipated results and the recovery process.
