Vaser Liposuction: Q&A

Ask a Question

Are VASER and Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction the Same Thing?

I have read online that VASER has been FDA approved, however have also read that UAL is non-FDA approved, and therefore not recommended. On a side note, I am 30 yrs old, 5'3", and 115lbs, wanting to have liposuction on my abdomen and possibly flanks. I have a special needs foster child who requires significant attention and am looking for a method with little downtime to be done by a good, kind PS in the Indy area. Any input/references are much appreciated! Thanks for reading!

Vaser Liposuction is Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction
