Worried about Vaser liposuction pain
I am considering Vaser Liposuction on inner thighs, love handles and a little on the tummy. I watched a Vaser Lipo procedure done on a man's abdomen and chest yesterday and he was approximately 5% of the time in real pain. It put me off. Can anyone share their experiences with me to advise me? I am not great with pain.

Perhaps you would do better with a general anesthetic if you are very sensitive to pain. Vaser is not a pain free procedure post-op but I find patients generally don't have as much discomfort as with other lipo techniques. No patient has ever told me that the pain was so bad they'd never do it again. Most are ultimately pleased with the results.
