Dr. Morales performs VASER (ultrasound-assisted) liposuction for precise fat removal with reduced trauma to surrounding tissue. Single or multiple treatment areas are available including abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and chin. VASER technology allows for smoother contouring and is the foundation for advanced procedures like abdominal etching. All procedures are performed in an AAAASF-accredited surgery centre.
About this treatment
At Morales Plastic Surgery in Houston, liposuction is performed using VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) technology — an ultrasound-assisted technique that selectively emulsifies fat cells while preserving surrounding blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. This results in more precise contouring, less bruising, and a smoother recovery compared to traditional suction-assisted liposuction.
Dr. Morales treats all common liposuction areas: the abdomen and waist, flanks and love handles, inner and outer thighs, arms, back rolls, bra line, submental chin area, and the male chest for gynecomastia. Multi-area cases are routinely performed in a single operative session.

Liposuction at ACPS Houston is also the foundational step in combination procedures such as the Brazilian butt lift (BBL), where harvested fat is purified and transferred to the gluteal region, and in mommy makeover packages that combine contouring with breast and abdominal work. The fat removed during VASER lipo can alternatively be used for facial fat transfer or breast augmentation, making it a versatile first step in a broader aesthetic plan.
Starting from approximately $3,870 per area. Multi-area cases priced individually at consultation. CareCredit and PatientFi financing accepted.
