VASER is effective just about anywhere that standard liposuction is effective.
But there are certain theoretical advantages that VASER has over standard liposuction, and so it may have a relative advantage to standard liposuction in some areas more than others.
Because VASER "melts" fat, it is effective in fibrous areas of fat. This is common in the back, in the male chest, and in revisions. Since VASER is less likely to damage blood vessels than standard liposuction, it may...

Vaser works best for these three areas:
Vaser can be used all over the body but I have found it works best for three areas. All of these areas share the characteristic of having dense, tough, fibrous fatty tissue that is hard for other types of liposuction to treat. The #1 area that I like to use the Vaser is to treat male breasts with Gynecomatia. #2 is flanks or love handles, especially in thinner patients, men, and Asian women who tend to have more fibrous fat that is difficult to suction with other...

VASER lipo is safe and effective in all areas of the body. It can be confusing with all of the machines being advertised... Please read the following, which will help you understand...
Tumescent liposuction... VASER lipo..... SmartLipo.....Cool lipo... pro lipo....Slim lipo... Water Jet lipo.... ?????
What does this all mean? If I don't get Smart lipo does that mean I'm dumb? If my surgeon recommends Slim lipo does that mean he/she isn't a "Pro"? It truly is a ridiculous situ

VASER LIPOSUCTION BEST METHOD FOR LIPOSUCTION
I perform Vaser Liposelection every week in my plastic surgery practice of over 22 years. I use the Vaser liposuction machine first to break up the fatty fiberous tissue in the hip, back ,abdomen and thigh area. Then I normally follow with the traditional tumescent method to remove the fat. This is a very effective and successful method for females and it is especially good for males who have more dense fatty tissue in these areas. The other advantages of Vaser quicker recovery time...

Vaser ultrasound can be used on any area for liposuction
Vaser, or ultrasound assisted, liposuction can be performed in any area that is regularly treated with standard liposuction. Vaser works especially well in areas where there is dense connective tissue such as a man's chest(gynecomastia), the flanks and the back. It can also be used to improve skin tone and can be used to improve lax skin in the neck, abdomen, and arms.

VASER lipo works on any area
VASER liposuction works well on about any area of concern where there are unwanted fatty deposits. The nice thing about this system is that it comes with small, medium and larger probes. The smallest probes are good for the neck and calf/ankles. The medium problems are good for most other areas. VASER melts fat using gentle ultrasonic energy allowing the fat to be removed with less trauma and swelling.

VASER Liposuction is Effective in All Areas of the Body
VASER Liposuction / Liposelection works extremely well in ALL areas of the body.
After putting TUMESCENT SOLUTION (local anesthetic with adrenaline to reduce pain and bleeding0 the VASER tube is passed through the fat and using sound waves SELECTIVELY blows up fat cells. Regular liposuction or power assisted liposuction (PAL) are then used to remove the fatty fluid with much less effort, bleeding or swelling.
Although the VASER works well in ALL areas of the body it works extremely well and...

Areas where Vaser Liposuction works best
I use VASER Liposuction routinely for my patients. I use it all over the body and neck. The areas I have found it most useful are the lower back due to its more fibrous nature, men's chest when doing gynecomastia excision and sculpting (or etching) the abdominal wall for definition (Hi Def).
The reason it works well in these areas is that the ultrasonic waves break up the fat and make it easier to remove. I feel I am able to remove more fat easier and with less trauma. This allows for...
