VASER Liposuction & Liposculpture

Dr. Augusto Rojas MD performs VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction, high-definition HD liposuction, and classic liposculpture at the AAAHC-accredited Venice Beach Surgical Center in Mar Vista. With 40+ years of specialisation in lipoplasty, Dr. Rojas tailors each procedure to the patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals — treating abdomen, flanks, back, arms, thighs, and neck. VASER technology emulsifies fat before removal, enabling smoother results and faster tissue recovery compared to traditional tumescent techniques.

Venice Beach Surgical Center, led by Dr. Augusto Rojas MD, is one of Los Angeles's most experienced dedicated liposuction practices — Dr. Rojas completed a fellowship-level specialisation in aesthetic medicine and liposculpture at the Universidad Autónoma de Morelos in Cuernavaca, Mexico in 2000, building on his residency training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and more than 40 years in cosmetic surgery. The clinic's flagship offering is VASER liposuction (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance), an ultrasound-assisted technology that selectively emulsifies fat cells before they are removed via gentle suction. Compared to traditional tumescent liposuction, VASER preserves surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, leading to smoother contouring results, reduced bruising, and more predictable skin retraction — particularly valuable in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, inner and outer thighs, arms, and neck. High-definition HD liposuction extends VASER principles to create visible muscular definition — etching natural shadows around the rectus abdominis, obliques, or pectoral lines to produce an athletic, sculpted silhouette. This advanced technique requires precise anatomical knowledge and is appropriate for patients who are already close to their goal physique and seeking enhanced definition rather than volume reduction alone. Classic liposculpture (lipoescultura) remains Dr. Rojas's foundational specialisation, dating back decades before VASER existed. This approach emphasises proportional body reshaping as an artistic process rather than simple fat removal — preserving the contours that define natural-looking results. Lipo360 addresses the full circumferential waistline — abdomen, flanks, and lower back — in a single procedure, creating a cohesive silhouette change. All procedures are performed at the on-site AAAHC-accredited surgical facility. Dr. Rojas is a member of the International Society of Lipoplasty and the World Association of Gluteal Surgeons. The clinic draws liposuction patients from across the Los Angeles Westside — Mar Vista, Santa Monica, Culver City, Venice, Playa del Rey, and El Segundo — as well as from across California and medical tourists from Latin America.
