Can I Use Tripollar Pose on my Post-vaser Area? Is Tripollar the Same As Ultrasound? I bought a Tripollar Pose which is supposed to be able to tighten the skin. While I am undergoing ultrasound treatment with my doc, I wonder if I can use the Tripollar at the same time as a home treatment to heal scar tissues in my post-vaser chin and jaw area.

A: I think you are going to be pretty unimpressed with this device.

Tripollar claims to be a radio frequency treatment device. The before and after photos that the manufacture have on their website so unimpressive results. Many of the photos seem to have differences as a result of lighting difference or changes in head position in before and afters photos. This does not inspire confidence in a treatment. I would say buyer beware.

Why Does Vaser Liposuction Have a Shorter Recovery Time Than Other Liposuction Methods? I read that the recovery time for Vaser is quicker than for traditional lipo, why?(http://www.cosmeticsurgerythailand.com/vaser-in-thailand.html)

A: Liposuction Recovery

There is no evidence that Vaser liposuction has a shorter recovery time than standard liposuction. In fact, Vaser, laser, or ultrasound assisted liposuction is an additional step that must be followed up with standard liposuction. Recovery time from liposuction is dependent on how many areas are being treated and how much each area is suctioned. More areas being treated or larger areas with more fatty tissue to be suctioned will increase discomfort in the first week especially. The use of general anesthesia or not has very little effect on recovery past the first 24 hours. Returning to normal daily activities including driving usually occurs in about 2 to 4 days for most individuals. Return to exercise can vary, but I usually ask my patients to not exercise for two weeks.

Best of luck.
