VASER® Shape FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions


How Long Does the Vaser® Shape MC1 Cellulite Reduction Treatment Take To See Results at the NYC Plastic Surgeon's Office? Most of the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon's cellulite reduction patients only undergo about four or five sessions with the VASER® Shape MC1 to get the full results of cellulite reduction they want. However, almost all of the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon's VASER® Shape cellulite reduction patients start to see cellulite reduction results and a loss of inches after their first cellulite reduction session. If patients are using it as a follow-up treatment to another procedure such as traditional liposuction or tummy tuck, they tend to only need to go through one session to see remarkable results.

The VASER® Shape nonsurgical liposuction / cellulite reduction system can reduce inches in a single session as performed by the NYC VASER Shape surgeon. What Does  It Mean That You Can Lose Inches? This cellulite reduction procedure is ideally suited for the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon's patients who do not want to pursue a surgical procedure (e.g. liposuction), but want to reduce cellulite and lose inches around the abdomen, back, flanks, chest, inner and outer thighs, and knees. As a result from this treatment fat and toxins are removed from the body resulting in a loss of inches (fat) on the treatment area.

How Does VASER® Shape cellulite reduction work? VASER® Shape uses high-frequency sound waves for local heat therapy and zonal massage to drain away excess toxins, cellulite, and fats. Heat therapy warms the treatment area (areas that cellulite is obvious) and creates a “micromassage” effect on the fat cells. Zonal massage works with the lymphatic system to drain away excess toxins, cellulite and fats, and increase local blood circulation. The fat, toxins, and cellulite are removed from the body via urination. It is important to drink more water than usual starting about two days prior to the cellulite removal treatment and continue drinking water for about two to three days after the cellulite reduction treatment.

What Parts of the Body Can the NYC Plastic Surgeon user VASER® Shape cellulite reduction on? The Manhattan Plastic Surgeon uses VASER® Shape on the abdomen (tummy), back, arms, love handles, hips, knees, flantks, chest, buttocks, inner thighs, and outer thighs.

Is There a Recovery Period from VASER® Shape Cellulite Reduction Treatment?
There is no recovery from this cellulite reduction treatment as performed by the NYC Plastic Surgeon. Following the VASER Shape cellulite reduction / nonsurgical liposuction procedure, you can resume normal activity without pain or downtime. Your skin may appear slightly pink and feel warm after the cellulite reduction procedure due to the increased local blood circulation in the area. This should resolve itself within a few hours after the treatment.
