Many patients searching for laser lipo in Tucson want a less invasive form of liposuction. VASER lipo uses ultrasonic energy rather than laser energy to loosen fat before it is removed. Both approaches work through small incisions. VASER lets Dr. Sanchez-Navarro treat fibrous fat while preserving nerves and blood vessels.
VASER lipo can reduce stubborn fat in most areas of the body. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro plans each treatment around the areas that are out of proportion with the rest of the patient’s figure.
The abdomen is one of the most requested areas for liposuction. Abdominal fat is often fibrous, and VASER lipo is well suited to it. Liposuction alone works best when the abdominal skin is firm. When the skin is loose, a tummy tuck may be a better fit.
Chin lipo removes fat under the chin and along the neck to define the jawline and reduce the look of a double chin. Some patients pair it with buccal fat removal or a neck lift for further facial contouring.
Liposuction can slim the upper arms, the thighs and the area around the knees. When loose skin is the main concern in the arms, an arm lift may be recommended.
Many men choose VASER lipo for the chest. When enlarged breast tissue is present, Dr. Sanchez-Navarro may recommend gynecomastia correction.

Patients with localized deposits of fat that are out of proportion with the rest of their body can benefit from liposuction. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, knees, arms, and neck. VASER lipo reduces stubborn fat pockets in any body part.
Candidates for VASER lipo should be in overall good health. They must not have any illness or condition that impairs wound healing or makes surgery unsafe. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro evaluates the health status of each person who comes into our office to make sure that they are eligible. In addition, it is best if the patient does not smoke 4 weeks before the operation. This will help to avoid surgical risks and make recovery smoother.
Elastic skin adjusts to the new body contours after fat removal. Younger people tend to have better skin elasticity, but it also depends on genetics and lifestyle factors. This characteristic is important because good elasticity may help to avoid excess skin after liposuction.
Patients should understand that liposuction is not designed for major weight loss and cannot fix issues like cellulite or loose skin. Therefore, candidates must have realistic goals and understand these limitations.
Liposuction removes fat but does not remove excess skin. Patients with significant loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy may get better results from a tummy tuck, arm lift, body lift or mommy makeover. Dr. Sanchez-Navarro evaluates skin quality during the consultation and recommends the procedure that fits each patient’s goals.
The cost of liposuction in Tucson, AZ, ranges from $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the number of areas being treated and other factors that are unique to each patient. Most people want to contour 1-3 body parts, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms. More extensive procedures with additional treatment areas and advanced liposuction techniques may be priced higher.
The exact cost of our VASER lipo will be determined during an initial consultation with Dr. Sanchez-Navarro. He will examine the patient, discuss their goals, and provide a price quote for their customized treatment plan. Our practice offers telehealth (virtual) appointments to make the process more convenient.
