When Will I See Vaser Liposelection Results?

Liposuction should not be carried out to achieve weight loss. The advantage of Vaser is to use a pulsed ultrasonic energy to cavitate fat in fibrous areas and possibly to promote skin contraction.

Of course, to get the best result one needs to alter their diet and exercise habits so that they don't continue to gain weight.
