Vaser Lipo vs LipoPulse and Body Jet?

After I had my consulation, my doctor would like to use Body Jet (as opposed to Vaser Liposuction) for my upper/lower stomach, lower back, and flanks. He is also going to use LipoPulse on my thighs. I am not as familiar with the Body Jet or LipoPulse. Will these procedures be effective? Can someone please give me their opinion?

A: Try a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hi!  LipoPulse and Body Jet are marketing gimmicks.  I don't know any experienced board certified plastic surgeon in New York who uses these things. Tumescent liposuction is safe and effective. My website has links to the plastic surgery societies where you can get the name of a surgeon near you.

A: Body Jet, LipoPulse

Body jet is a new liposuction technique that uses a stream of fluid to break up the fat as it is being suctioned. LipoPulse is a needle free method of delivering mesotherapy.  Mesotherapy is not FDA approved. I would recommend that you make sure that your surgeon is board certified in plastic surgery.
