What Is VASER Liposuction? 

VASER liposuction is an advanced form of liposuction that uses high-frequency ultrasound energy to break down and loosen fat cells before removal. This technique enables more precise contouring and better preservation of surrounding tissue, resulting in smoother, more natural-looking curves. VASER liposuction is available on many areas of the body, including the following: 

  • Abdomen and flanks
  • Waist and lower back
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Chest, back, and bra line
  • Hips and lower torso

Your VASER Liposuction in Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks

Identifying Your Treatment Areas 

Every VASER liposuction procedure begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Stark. She’ll evaluate your existing features and aesthetic goals, and will assess your intended treatment sites to ensure VASER liposuction is the best procedure for you.

Using Ultrasound Energy to Loosen Fat Cells

On surgery day, Dr. Stark will start by applying high-frequency VASER ultrasound energy to your specific treatment areas. The goal is to release fat cells from your tissues to streamline the removal process and minimize disruption to other areas of the body.

Gently Refining Your Figure 

Once the fat deposits have been loosened, Dr. Stark will carefully remove them using precise suction to reveal your newly enhanced silhouette. You’ll have the option to undergo general anesthesia or a local anesthetic during your procedure.

Carefully Placing Liposuction Incisions 

Dr. Stark treats VASER liposuction in Thousand Oaks as a full-body procedure. She understands that this treatment impacts your total confidence, so she intentionally places your incisions to minimize scarring and create natural-looking transitions on the skin.

High-Touch Recovery Focused on Personalized Care

Recovering from VASER liposuction is similar to recovering from traditional liposuction, and the recovery time will likely depend on the treatment areas. Many patients report reduced soreness and swelling due to the gentle fat removal approach, and bruising typically fades within one to two weeks. Light activity is encouraged early to support circulation, and most patients can resume their daily routines within a few days.

Dr. Stark takes your healing seriously and is committed to providing genuine support throughout your recovery. She’ll send you home from your procedure with extensive aftercare instructions and a set of compression garments to help reduce swelling. You’ll return to her office multiple times over the coming months so she can personally check in on your recovery and monitor your post-operative health.

Following my surgery, she consistently checked on my well-being, and I was amazed by the exceptional treatment and personal attention I received. My procedure went great, and I am extremely happy with the outcome. Dr. Stark is an exceptional surgeon who goes beyond expectations.

Thank you, Dr Stark, for making my life HAPPIER!!

“Dr Stark and her medical team are amazing. Went in to have an Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and the care is excellent. Currently at 9 weeks post surgery, swollen a lot less, and loving my results so far. Going into surgery, I was nervous about the after-pain because I heard several horror stories of how painful it is. Surprisingly, my pain level was mild ( 1-10 I was at 2). My experience exceeded my expectations from the consultation, to surgery, to post op. Dr Stark, Sabrina Esquivel, and the whole team have been very caring and attentive, and delivered an A+  service. Thank you, Dr Stark, for making my life HAPPIER!!”

- A.Q.

I cannot thank Dr. Stark enough.

“Dr. Stark is not only a meticulous professional and at the top of her field, but she and her team are one of the warmest and most engaged treatment teams I have ever met. Dr. Stark and Sabrina walked me through every moment of the procedure and recovery, and they were attentive and responsive. Her nurses in recovery were incredibly kind and thorough. Dr. Stark’s sense of humor mixed with her attention to detail makes her truly exceptional, and she makes you feel understood. The results of my mini abdominoplasty with liposuction were beyond anything I would have imagined. I cannot thank Dr. Stark and the Schwartz Institute enough.”

- C.B.

Dr. Stark is absolutely the best plastic surgeon.

“Dr. Stark is outstanding! She is an artist and a perfectionist. For years, I questioned if my prophylactic mastectomy was worth it because I didn’t love the way I looked. I booked a consultation with Dr. Stark to correct an encapsulated breast implant. She was thorough and made me feel comfortable. The morning of my procedure, as she was marking me, I knew I was not going to regret the results I would be waking up to. I have never felt so confident and happy with my body as she has made me feel. From her pre-op routine and post op routine that helps your body heal quickly without any complications, to her amazing skill of injecting with Botox and Filler, Dr. Stark is absolutely the best plastic surgeon.”

I would definitely go back to Dr. Stark in the future...

“I highly recommend Dr. Stark! I had liposuction and excision of axillary breast tissue performed by Dr. Stark in October 2023. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explains every step in a clear, comforting manner. She does not push procedures and, in fact, recommended I hold off on several additions to my procedure that I was interested in. I had no problems with my healing and am incredibly pleased with the results so far. The nursing and administrative staff are also top-notch. They are all so friendly and responsive, and I never felt awkward about any part of the process. I would definitely go back to Dr. Stark in the future if I ever want to have anything else done.”

I can’t say enough about how truly amazing Dr. Stark has been...

“I can’t say enough about how truly amazing Dr. Stark has been through my surgical journey. I had two babies back to back and couldn’t get my body back to a place of feeling like me again. I met with her, and I knew right then and there that her vision was my vision. She saw exactly what I was saying and made me feel so comfortable making the decision to move forward with a Mommy Makeover procedure in her surgery center. She recommended a Breast Implant with a Lift, some Liposuction, and Upper and Lower Eyelids. She is a true artist. I am two weeks post-op and this experience is life-changing. I couldn’t be happier with how everything looks. I finally feel confident again, and just in time for summer. I one hundred percent recommend her to anyone who is looking to inquire about cosmetic surgery. You will not be disappointed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Stark!!!”

- D.M.

Dr. Stark is extremely thorough and so supportive...

“Dr. Stark performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and some lipo to my bra line and flanks. To say my expectations were met is an understatement!! I am so thrilled with my results. After four children, I definitely noticed an overall lack of confidence in my body, and that confidence has been restored! Dr. Stark is extremely thorough and so supportive throughout the entire process. I have no regrets whatsoever and would highly recommend Dr. Stark for beautiful results.”

- T.M.

I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Stark!!

“Dr. Stark performed an upper blepharoplasty for me, and I'm thrilled with the results!! It was a simple (virtually painless) procedure, and the recovery time was minor. Dr. Stark is brilliant, and she's a true artist. Not to mention she's so lovely along with her staff. I highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Stark!!”
