Generally speaking, the best candidate for any form of liposuction is a person who is in good shape, but has a problem area that persists regardless of weight and level of physical activity. I don't think you need to worry. We perform liposuction on a regular basis and have yet to find a patient who regretted... more
VASER high definition lipo side effects and risks
I work out a good amount and I cannot shed the tiny layers of ab fat and love handles. I'm pretty thin (8% body fat) but the 'shredded' look is extremely hard to accomplish.
should I be concerned? Is there any side effects? Is there a possibility I could end up looking 'odd' like a bad drawing? I would be very upset about that. I'm torn, any tips or help would greatly be appreciated! The picture below is what they advertised as the results I can expect.

At Physician Body Solutions we use a technique called High DEF SmartLipo which is actually a combination of ultrasound-assisted (VASER) and laser-assisted (Smart-Lipo MPX) to achieve the results you desire. Most common side effects are swelling and draining for 2-3 days, minimal bruising, if at all and mild soreness. Most patients only need to take Tylenol after the procedure. You will not look "odd", unless you feel you already have "odd" looking anatomy. Your current anatomic features would be highlighted. As for results, usually the pictures advertised are the best case scenario. But a skilled physician should be able to give you the results you crave. You need to do your homework. Make sure they are using the lastest generation Smart Lipo, the MPX, as well as VASER. Also ask how many procedures the physician has performed and ask for pictures.

I had vaser lipo on Tues. on my upper, lower abs, and lovehandles. 1/3 the time the probe burned like a hot poker. and on Wed. my penis swelled up like a disfigured ballon. Please call and tell me what to do. My doctor won't me until next Tues. and tells me that this normal and had me cancel my trip to the ER.
