VASER Lipo on The Early Show

A lot of women wish they could take fat from an area where they don't need it and put it right where they want it. Well, in the brand new world of plastic surgery, you can. As cbs news correspondent sandra hughes reports. Reporter: images of perfection, smoking hot bods. It's that push for perfection that prompted L.A. attorney caroline mankey to try a procedure transferring fat from would not part of the body to another. So they'll take it from here and put it here? They are. And what woman doesn't want to get rid of a little bit of her rear end? Yeah, i can understand that. Reporter: this healthy 44-year-old didn't want the fake look of implants. The results will be natural, they'll be full, they'll be firm. We take fat from one portion of the body, are the buttock, the legs, the tummy, and instead of throwing it away like we used to, we can use it in other parts of the body. Reporter: along with fuller breasts, caroline decided she wanted what diet and exercise hadn't done for her. These denver plastic surgeons are creating athletic looking abs with a liposuction procedure called VASER high-def. We can get the result 20 or 30-year-olds are looking for. We're shaping form into patients bodies. Reporter: the cost of the surgery, about $19,000. But the doctors say this type of lipo is safer than traditional methods. This shakes the fat away leaving everything else relatively untouched, faster recovery. Reporter: representing celebrity clients, caroline needed a speedy recovery. Time off from work was only a week. But bikini ready in a month. I'm 44. And i don't hide it. But I'd love to look 24. I've always wanted perfect body and that's what I'm hoping to have. Reporter: sandra hughes, cbs news, los angeles. Here with us now, caroline mankey and her plastic surgeon, dr. John millard. It is 5 1/2 weeks from your surgery. Are you toward show us the results? I'm ready. You're bikini ready. Lets see if you look 24 like you wanted to. Okay. Look at that flat, flat sculpted stomach. Show the camera. Just put the before next to it just to see how dramatic this transformation has been. You look fantastic in the before, but after, the difference is that there's definitely a difference - her belly is more sculpted and we see she also had a little augmentation on her breasts, right, doctor? That's correct. So explain again how did you the belly sculpting is. Essential whether you we use a technology VASER to remove the subcutaneous fat over the muscle. So you put something like an all take sound and what does it we put a little probe in and the ultrasound essentially shakes the fat loose very gently. Allowing precise sculpting of definition anywhere in the body. What's the difference between that and regular lipo. Regular lipo is really more traumatic. It doesn't lend itself the precision that theVASER technology does and really doesn't allow to us really sculpt the in 3D.VASER high-def allows us to create living breathing works of art. So take you out the fat and that I've never heard of this before, taught fat from one area and put it in another? Correct. What did you do with caroline? In caroline's situation here, we actually took the fat from her flanks, which we took away, and on her waste line to bring in her waste line, giving her more of a tight ratio, and we took that fat and processed it and transplanted it into her breasts. So instead of saline or silicone, there's something natural. And is that what appealed to you about this? Absolutely. I wanted a natural look and a healthier approach. I didn't like the idea of having something foreign in my body. And this way all the tissue that's been added is all my own. Plastic surgeons don't do this that regularly because there aren't long term studies. Is there anything that you're worried about? Not at all. The worst that can happen is that it gets absorbed back into my own body. How do you feel? I feel fantastic. The change has been much more dramatic than I expected. My clothes fit differently and so much better. I don't have to suck my stomach in anymore. And you try through exercise and diet to get rid of that little pooch forever. Absolutely. I exercise every day. I'm an avid exerciser. And I think it's just partly genetic, it's partly age. It just happens. All right, caroline, congrats. Dr. Millard, thank you, as well

she looked a lot better before :S

[nr178]

Her stomach looked a million times better before. I have never seen any body who has flat abs look like that it looks very strange and one of her boobs is way bigger than the other. I was interested in having this done when I first started the video but now no way!

[babylove22809]

First picture was better

[xsfxing]

the second is just unnatural

[wadadlibabe]

@slimm1121 I know! it's not cute anymore (also looks a bit...alien)

[slimm1121]

her new belly button. eew

[BruinsSpike]

The video doesn't show what i really looks like. She's very obviously happy with it.

@nr178 hey - I wouldnt get put off by having vaser. i can see this woman was stubborn & insisted she needed fat reduction. The best candidates for vaser are those who obviously look like they need fat removed from areas that is difficult to lose.

[mramo]

@nr178 I totally agree with you!! I am having my vaser done next Saturday (6 pack), but I showed this video to my friends & they were disgusted with how this woman would have vaser on an already good looking stomach! She looks like shes about to die due to a lack of food.
