What Is VASER Liposuction?
VASER Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound technology to gently break apart fat cells, allowing them to be removed without damaging the surrounding tissue. VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, and this targeted energy is what gives the treatment its sculpting power. Compared to traditional liposuction, VASER is more refined. It allows your surgeon to sculpt with greater accuracy and is often chosen for patients who want visible definition and smoother recovery.

He is known not just for his technical skill, but for his patient-centred ethos: honest advice, clear communication and care that puts your comfort first.
Many patients choose VASER Liposuction in the UK with Dr Cotrufo because of his personalised 360-body sculpting techniques, focusing on results that are harmonious, flattering, and long-lasting.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Here’s what to expect from start to finish:
- Preparation: You’ll receive local anaesthetic or twilight sedation to keep you comfortable. A tumescent solution is injected into the area to prepare the fat for removal.
- Ultrasound Fat Breakdown: A small probe emits ultrasonic waves, breaking apart the fat lobules while preserving tissue’s viability. This stage is what sets VASER Liposuction apart from traditional techniques.
- Gentle Fat Removal: The liquefied fat is carefully suctioned out using a thin cannula through a 5-10mm incision, sculpting the area while reducing trauma, swelling, and bruising.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
VASER Liposuction can target nearly any area of the body, including: Abdomen and waist (including six-pack definition), Love handles, Inner and outer thighs, Chin and jawline, Chest (ideal for male chest reduction), Arms, back, and flanks. Dr Cotrufo often performs 360 Body Sculpting, a technique that treats multiple areas together for a more natural, proportioned outcome.
Both upper and lower extremities are more delicate areas where the fat reduction needs to be performed circumferentially; the application of VASER is crucial to avoid irregularities, avoid nerve damage and certainly achieve a better skin contraction. Over the years, Dr Cotrufo has shown hundreds of successful cases of arms and calves reduction by VASER liposuction and patients travel from all around the globe to use his expertise.
Dr Cotrufo also pioneered the application of VASER liposuction to the face and neck, achieving for the first time results comparable with other facelifting techniques but with virtually no scars (usually 3mm incisions behind ears and under the chin) and much shorter recovery time.
