Liposuction
Liposuction is a safe and effective method to remove stubborn pockets of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise, helping you achieve the toned, sculpted figure you desire. Due to its ability to sculpt a wide range of body areas, liposuction is one of the most popular body contouring procedures performed by our plastic surgeons.
Liposuction Techniques
At Grossman | Capraro Plastic Surgery, no two liposuction surgeries are performed alike. Dr. Capraro will customize your procedure to address your unique physical characteristics and aesthetic goals.
To best reach our patient’s goals, we use Tumescent and VASER® Liposuction. When used together, the two techniques complement each other very well. VASER technology is used to disrupt your fatty tissue, and traditional methods are employed to remove your fat. This combination results in optimal levels of precision and safety.
Tumescent Liposuction
The tumescent liposuction technique involves the use of a special solution containing a combination of dilute local anesthetic and adrenalin that gets injected into your fat. The adrenalin reduces bleeding and the local anesthetic delivers anesthesia directly to the treatment region. This fluid also serves to separate the fat to facilitate its removal.
After the tumescent fluid has been injected into the treatment region, a narrow tube called a cannula is used to remove the unwanted fat cells via suction. For more limited procedures under local anesthesia, a more concentrated form of this solution is used to achieve more effective results.
VASER Liposuction
Vaser or vibration amplification of sound energy resonance is a type of liposuction that removes fat from under the skin. Vaser breaks apart fat cells, loosens them from your deep tissues, and helps easily remove fat. It is an ultrasound technology that uses powerful waves to break apart fat cells. It is a controlled and gentle type of procedure, but it does require an experienced provider to do it correctly.
Note that any type of liposuction is not a weight loss tool. Those who have the best results with VASER technology, or any type of liposuction are within 15 pounds of their ideal weight.

Areas Liposuction Can Treat
Both men and women can benefit from the body sculpting enhancements provided by liposuction. This versatile procedure can be performed on just about any area of the body where you have excess fat that you would like removed. Common areas treated with liposuction include:
- Face, neck, and jowls
- Breasts
- Upper arms
- Abdomen
- Back
- Hips
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Chest (during male breast reduction)
Fat Transplant
It is now possible to put your unwanted fat to good use. Grossman | Capraro Plastic Surgery uses fat transplantation in conjunction with procedures such as breast augmentation and the Butt Lift with Implants in order to add volume and fullness to these regions of your body. In recent years, fat transplantation procedures have improved considerably, resulting in high-quality results that rival other breast and buttock augmentation options.
Our surgeons employ sophisticated techniques for harvesting, cleaning, and transplanting your fat cells in order to achieve a very natural-looking appearance. If you are interested in enhancing the size and shape of your breasts or buttocks while improving your overall body contour, fat transplantation may be the ideal procedure for you.
Grossman Capraro provides Vaser Liposuction in Denver, Greenwood Village, CO, and Beverly Hills, CA.
