Vaser Liposuction: Q&A

Lipoma Removal Using Vaser Liposelection?

I saw a local plastic surgeon who uses a Vaser to remove lipomas through what he calls liposelection. It is similar to liposuction but not as invasive.

I have over 100 lipomas to be removed from arms, chest, stomach and back. I do not want 100 scars. This procedure will use about 6 scars. Thoughts? Opinions?

Liposelection for lipoma removal

Liposelection is a form of advertising and impressing you to part you from your money. If you have multiple small lipomas all over, ther is no way you can remove them by any form of liposuction, laser or any other technology of the day, See another plastic surgeon that can be honest with you.

Lipoma treatment

Liposelection is a nice marketing phrase used by the company that created the device. Removing lipomas by liposuction may not be a good idea. In order to treat the lipoma adequately it should be excised because liposuction may not remove all the tumor, and it could grow back. Besides, not all fatty tumors are benign, and they should be sent to pathology for evaluation.

To answer your question directly, it sounds like you have a lipomatosis disorder (?Multiple symmetric lipomatosis, cephalothoracic lipodystrophy, the Launois-Bensaude syndrome, Madelung disease, Familial multiple... more
