Vaser Method Affects Viability of Fat for Butt Enhancement?

Thank you for your question. Thus far, the viability of harvested fat for fat transfer does not seem to be negatively affected with Vaser in conventional mode. Fat can be harvested in a more gentle mode, but this seems to not be needed. A very busy practice in Columbia of Dr. Hoyas has been doing fat transfer for years with Vaser in a very high setting and has not had any fat viability issues. They use 90% in Continuous mode, not even using Vaser mode, reduced to 60-70% as was thought... more

Hi Sophie, There have been no studies conducted or published in medical literature that state that VASER liposelection affects the viability of fat cells harvested for fat transfer. At the same time, there are none that say that it does not.

After harvesting the fat, VASER assisted liposuction is done for body contouring. more
