The least comfortable part of the procedure is infusion of the anesthetic. Your surgeon will select the surface of your skin at the entry area, and then inject an anesthetic into the fat layer that will be treated. This stage stings somewhat and lasts about 2 minutes for each area that will be treated. Once the anesthetic has taken affect, you feel very little apart from the occasional twinge of discomfort and a dull, tugging sensation. Those clients that have experienced resistance to local anesthetics (e.g. when having dental work) may experience a similar resistance to the local anesthetic we use for the VASER procedure. The VASER Lipo acts on the fat cells without affecting the nerve endings, so discomfort is significantly reduced relative to Liposuction.
