You need to see a board certified/eligible plastic surgeon that is experienced in body contouring!

Thanks for your question. The Vaser® is a form of liposuction that employs pulsed, low level ultrasound to break apart the fat cells. This allows the surgeon to use smaller instrumentation that allows for finer artistic sculpting, especially when performing abdominal-etching. However, not all plastic surgeons use the Vaser® and can achieve comparable results with other methods. So, the most important factor is not the medical device but rather the surgeon and his/her artistic... more

Six pack abs from liposuction may be possible

Yes, it is possible that you can achieve this by using Vaser to thin the overall layer of fat throughout the upper and lower abdomen. However, it is also possible that you may develop minor irregularities (rippling or waves from liposuction). If liposuction removes excessive fat, you can develop areas of adherence that may detract from the appearance of the abdomen. In some instances, "hi-def" liposuction or lipo-etching can be used to create the appearance of a six pack but I... more

Six pack abs can be achieved with liposuction and hard work

One can achieve 'six pack' abs on their own if they are able to get their body fat content low enough. Some patients, however, require some assistance with liposuction. Etching can be performed, but can also leave unacceptable depressions and scarring.

Vaser and six pack abs

Vaser liposuction can improve the contour of your abdomen and there are some "tricks" that can give you that washboard abdomen.

Liposuction will help create six pack abs

A careful liposuction of the abdominal area could enhance the borders of the rectus muscle (6 packs), and recreate the healthy looking midline depression observed in a healthy abdomen. The key in liposuction is what you leave behind and not what you take out!

Possible to get six pack abs from Lipo

The result you are seeking is possible and depends on your surgeon's skill rather than the kind of liposuction. This is possible with laser lipo, vaser lipo, or traditional liposuction.

Vaser technology CAN give you a six pack

Hi there- In men and women who are already fairly fit but want improved muscular definition, particular techniques using the VASER allow excellent improvement. The best way for you to know if you are a candidate is to visit with a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery who has a lot of experience doing this (ask to see photos and make sure the photos you are shown are actually that surgeon's patients).
