I know of no contraindication with a pacemaker, but you should check with the manufacturer and receive clearance. Thank you for your question and good luck.

VASER NOT for patients with PACEMAKERS
Hi there-
Because the VASER uses ultrasound energy, you would not want to do this if you have a pacemaker regulating your heartbeat.
On the other hand, it is important to understand that the benefits of the VASER may not apply to you.
The truth is that I am a huge VASER fan- I think it is the safest and most effective of the alternatives to tumescent liposuction available- but that doesn't mean I think everyone should have it...

Vaser Liposuction with Pacemaker
Just obtain a cardiac clearance from your cardiologist. I just operated upon a 24 year old with a pacemaker for an exchange of deflated saline implants, open capsulotomy, revision areole, smart lipo with no issues. Best of Luck.

Liposuction and pacemakers
Vaser liposuction is out of the question as has been said. You don't state what was the reason for having the pacemaker and you don't list your age or give us a photo. I would say that unless you were a phenomenal candidate for liposuction with minimal extra fat and great skin elasticity you would not be getting a home run result and it would not be wise or worth taking the risk. Ask your cardiologist.

Vaser and Pacemaker
Barbie,
Vaser is generally not recommended for people with pacemakers. Traditional or power-assisted liposuction can also yield great results. Power assisted liposuction involves an auto-reciprocating cannula and nearly eliminates surgeon fatigue which can sometimes limit results.
Good luck!

Vaser Liposelection: an liposuction option
Vaser is ultrasound-assisted liposuction and is NOT for people with pacemakers. If you are otherwise healthy and are medically cleared for elective plastic surgery, then you might consider traditional liposuction with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon (not a "cosmetic surgeon", as they often aren't plastic surgeons at all!).
