Sculpt Your Dream Body with VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction in San Antonio

Ready for a next-level transformation? VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction takes body contouring to new heights. Unlike traditional liposuction, which can be harsh on your body, VASERlipo is a gentler yet highly effective alternative, delivering dramatic results with less discomfort. 

For over 20 years, liposuction has helped men and women achieve smoother, slimmer figures by removing stubborn fat, but VASER goes beyond fat removal—it sculpts and defines, giving you a more toned, athletic appearance. 

At Eterna Cosmetic Surgery in San Antonio, we’re excited to offer this innovative treatment to help you look and feel your best!

What Makes VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction Different?

This advanced technology allows Dr. Hernandez to produce more precise sculpting, contouring the fat around muscle groups to enhance their definition in patients who want a more athletic appearance. Even healthy, very fit, and trim people are interested in Vaser Hi-Def, she notes, because it can help them achieve the exact amount of muscle definition they desire.

What Can VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction Do for You?

VASERlipo and VASER Hi-Def are for all genders. More and more women are looking for a trim, muscular look, especially on their abdomen. VASERlipo can be an effective option to improve the contouring of the:

  • Chin, jowls, and neck
  • Abdomen
  • Hips and flanks
  • Back
  • Buttocks
  • Thighs
  • Knees

Dr. Hernandez offers the VASERlipo option to all patients who are interested in liposuction, as well as anyone interested in Vaser Hi-Def Lipo for increased muscle definition. She also uses this technique when she performs BodyTite, FaceTite, and Cellfina cellulite treatment.

For patients whose primary goal is to lose fat, VASERlipo offers several benefits compared to traditional suction-assisted liposuction. It debulks large amounts of fat precisely, gently, very effectively, and provides better skin retraction and less risk of abnormal scar tissue formation.

For patients who are already pretty fit, but want to look more athletic, VASER Hi-Def can trim away more of the fat and precisely sculpt the underlying musculature, helping achieve the definition that you haven’t been able to achieve on your own. Want better-defined arms or legs? Want a full-on six-pack? VASER Hi-Def is for you.

In some cases, Dr. Hernandez can even augment muscle contouring by using fat transfer or Renuva injection treatment to add volume to muscles. She can do this during the Vaser Hi-Def Lipo treatment or afterward.

Although VASERlipo can produce smoother, tighter skin than traditional liposuction, patients must still have some good skin elasticity to achieve great results. Therefore, those who have excess skin folds with poor skin elasticity are not candidates for VASERlipo. Instead, for patients with excessive skin laxity, Dr. Hernandez recommends RFAL BodyTite Pro or, in certain cases, surgical skin excision.

Pregnant women are also not candidates for VASERlipo.

How much is liposuction in San Antonio?

Liposuction costs in San Antonio can vary based on the number of treatment areas, the complexity of the procedure, and whether additional treatments are included. At Eterna Cosmetic Surgery, Hi-Def VASERlipo starts at $3,500 per area, offering precise body sculpting and superior results.

To get an exact estimate and learn more about financing, schedule a consultation where we’ll create a personalized plan to meet your goals and provide a detailed breakdown of costs.

How Does VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction Work?

With traditional liposuction, the surgeon inserts a cannula and physically manipulates it to separate fat so it can be removed. VASERlipo technology uses ultrasound energy to more gently separate and remove fat cells. The procedure is performed in-office under local anesthetic. Dr. Hernandez first makes a very small incision, then introduces a medicated solution under the skin to treat the fat cells. Next, she uses the ultrasound energy to separate unwanted fat and gently suction it away.

VASERlipo affects only the fat, eliminating the risk of damage to surrounding tissues, blood vessels, and nerves. Patients have less bleeding during the treatment because the blood vessels are left intact, and patients have less bruising afterward, making recovery more comfortable. Bleeding during and after liposuction is associated with abnormally thick scar tissue formation in the treated areas, so Dr. Hernandez always tries to avoid this situation to limit the risk of contour irregularities. 

Minimal bleeding also means Dr. Hernandez can treat multiple body areas in one session using VASERlipo.

What Happens After VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction?

Because VASERlipo is gentler on the body, it makes the treatment experience more tolerable and the recovery less uncomfortable. Nonetheless, patients can expect to have some initial swelling and bruising. You should expect to take a day or so off your normal routine to rest, then gradually return to more strenuous activities over the next 2 to 3 weeks.

In addition, because this procedure targets only fat cells while leaving other tissue support structures intact, patients have better skin retraction following the treatment. Results will be impressively noticeable right away, and skin tightening will continue over a period of several months, revealing final results in about 18 months. Results are permanent since fat that is removed will not return. However, weight loss or gain and the normal process of aging can affect results as time goes by.

The results you can achieve from any type of cosmetic procedure depend on the surgeon’s skill and specific experience. Although some surgeons prefer not to perform liposuction, for Dr. Hernandez, facial and body contouring are both her expertise and her passion. She is sought-after because of her extensive experience helping weight loss patients and others achieve their goals when it comes to creating the healthier, trimmer look they desire.

I highly recommend a Hydrafacial with aesthetician Ashton. Her hands are magical💜. She was detailed and very professional. Nurse Giselle did an amazing job with my Botox. She was gentle and talked me through every step so I knew what to expect. I feel rejuvenated, pampered and I’m definitely going back for both.

My 10/10 experience at Eterna Cosmetic Surgery was outstanding. The clinic is beautiful, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Ashton gave me the best dermaplane facial, leaving my skin incredibly soft and glowing. Having visited other clinics, I can confidently say this was the best experience I've had. Dr. Elizabeth Hernandez is exceptional—professional and committed. When I last saw her, she had just returned from an educational seminar. She listens attentively and offers great advice. Every visit to Eterna Cosmetic boosts my confidence, and I highly recommend it!

I had awake chin liposuction with Dr. Hernandez and had such a great experience. The staff was so sweet, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. I have seen some reviews mention that the procedure was painful, and while I’m not discrediting anyone else’s experience, I think a lot of that comes from the numbing process. You obviously can’t already be numb before the numbing injections, so that’s the one part where you’ll feel some sharpness and stinging. That part was over quickly, and Dr. Hernandez made sure I was completely numb and comfortable before starting the actual procedure. I was actually so relaxed during the procedure that I kept drifting off to sleep. Throughout the procedure they handed me a stress ball, checked on me, and gave me words of encouragement, which really helped me feel relaxed. Dr. Hernandez was reassuring, precise, and clearly very experienced, and I always felt like I was in good hands. The procedure went by much faster than I expected, and I already know it’s going to be so worth it. I highly recommend Dr. Hernandez to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.

Amazing experience with Dr Hernandez, no regrets driving the 3 1/2 hours. I’ve suffered from acne scars my whole life, after looking and searching for the right person, I must say I found her! She explained everything from start to end, making me feel very comfortable, she went over every step and prices, giving me the option to proceed or not, not feeling obligated to do anything that was not necessary. I had 3 sessions of Morpheus 8 with PRP following Bellafill. If you are someone who has never felt beautiful or confident in your own skin, these treatments will change your life perception. Thank you Dr. Hernandez and staff! Adriana Vargas

I highly recommend Dr. Hernandez for cosmetic surgery. My entire experience was amazing, from the first consultation at not cost, meeting Dr Hernandez she made me feel very comfortable, from the pre-op, day of surgery and post op. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I had a mini tummy tuck with viser lipo. It was two hour procedure, I was awake the whole time with only oral meds and pain gas. I didn't feel any pain, just mild discomfort. The recovery is way faster than a full tummy tuck and a lot less time, no drains are needed and I left walking out the procedure room. I am extremely glad I was reccomended to Dr Hernandez, she takes her time to explain thouroughly and her nurse made me Feel very comfortable. This is definitely a much safer and quicker way to get tummy tuck results without the long and painful recovery. I'm just on day two of recovery and I can already see the difference, I'm excited for the final results!

Dr. Hernandez did a wonderful job performing my chin/neck lipo! She was extremely informative from the very first consult and also gave he recommendation (morpheus 8, Renuvion) that would best tailor my end results. Her team is extremely friendly and you are treated like family. I am one day post-op with slight swelling but I can already see a significant change in my face and neck. I am beyond satisfied I chose Dr. Hernandez and recommend her if you are looking to enhance your self esteem you won't regret it!!!

Dr.Hernandez and the whole staff are awesome. I always feel very welcome when I go in. I love the results from my vaserliposuction procedure on my upper back(dowers hump or buffalo hump). I’ve always felt very self conscious about this area, and now I feel like I can actually wear my hair up and have my upper back neck area exposed. Thank you for helping me feel more confident in my own skin!

Dr. Hernandez is such an amazing person. She cares about her patients and their feelings. The staff and the doctor are very attentive and make sure you understand every part about whatever procedure you are having. I had the fat transfer breast augmentation and love it. Everything from pre-procedure to post procedure was so easy and the recovery time was quick. I highly recommend.

I myself won’t be returning to her l wasn’t happy with my results l paid a little over $7000 I got an upper lipo and under eye injection. Next time I’m going to SonoBello. I’m still wearing a spandex and covering my under eye which she said it’ll be a couple months before l see results. She’s a nice person but l saw her as trying to get clients in.Everyday l see myself makes me upset that l wasted all that money and the results still the same.She advertises its $1499 then in consultation ends up with thousands of $$$$$. They sell expensive product that also don’t work and yes l was the STUPID ONE THAT THEY SUCKERED IN. If you look at the picture it looks bad l paid $1000 for a injection plus bought the eye cream that didn’t work. I’m thinking of disputing this not sure where it will go.

I had a great experience overall. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from start to finish. The doctor was very informative and really took the time to listen to what I wanted to achieve with my surgery, which made me feel confident and comfortable in my decision. Being semi-awake during the procedure was a bit strange at first, but the team made sure I was comfortable the entire time and consistently checked in to make sure I was okay. Their care and attentiveness truly stood out. It’s almost been a year since my surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results—it looks amazing. I will definitely be going back in the future, and I’m even considering trying TruFlex next time. The only mildly negative experience I had was when I asked about their facials. I was told they would follow up since their machine was being replaced with a newer model, but I never heard back. That said, it was a minor issue and didn’t take away from my overall positive experience. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Eterna cosmetic surgery. I initially went in for a consultation for BBL and during the consultation Dr. Hernandez had recommended a mini tummy tuck which I am extremely happy with. I was awake during the procedure, which I love because I hate being under anesthesia. I was a little nervous in the beginning, but let me tell you everything came out great. Dr. Hernandez and the staff helped me through the whole process from consultation, pre- surgery, surgery and post-op. I am extremely happy with both the surgeries. It was a completely safe procedure and being awake during the surgery was not bad because they gave me the medication and were there to make me feel comfortable during the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Hernandez and the staff. 💜🙌🏼🕊️
