I want your honest opinion on arm Vaser lipo and J-plasma for skinny arms? (Photos)

You are a great candidate for high definition VASER liposuction. Your arms do not appear to have an excessive amount of skin or fat, so they can be addressed with high definition VASER liposuction and renuvion j plasma skin tightening. The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Forget about trying to choose which equipment is better. None of those devices are needed or necessary for arm Liposuction. I speak from first-hand experience having Owned J plasma and first-hand experience with vase are starting in the 1990s.

What you do need is to find a local plastic surgeon who has extensive experience doing arm liposuction.Arms should be treated circumferencially. They can’t be technically difficult and are prone to having contour irregularities and indentations if you go to a provider who doesn’t have sufficient skill and experience.

The fat on arms comes out to easily and doesn’t require energy equipment like VASER. Personally I saw zero skin tightening using J plasma. What I did see those patients having significantly more pain during and after the procedure and prolonged recovery‘s. There are also long lists of undesirable side effects that come from using this device and it has virtually zero benefit especially in areas like arms. The skin tightening the company claims just doesn’t materialize. This was proven time and time again when I on the device from subjective and objective measurements.

I have since sold that device and I suggest you don’t opt for it.

Take a peek at some of my arm Liposuction results posted under my profile on real self.


The following is a list of general recommendations for those seeking cosmetic surgery. If you follow these you should have a pretty good shot at getting good arm liposuction results.
1. I recommend patients avoid traveling long distances for elective surgical procedures. There are of course instances where there is a lack of local talent and traveling to some degree is inevitable. If traveling for the procedure patients should be ready to travel to have the consultation, post operative appointments and follow up should there be issues or complications.
Patients sometimes do not appreciate the importance of in person consultations, that complications do happen or the number of people who have issues with their results or need revisions.

2. Schedule multiple consultations with different providers in your area who seem to have a good reputation for the procedure you’re interested in. Starting with at least five consultations seems like a reasonable number to me.

3. Whenever possible schedule in person consultations.
4. During in person consultations ask each plastic surgeon to show all of their before and after pictures for the procedure you’re interested in.

The goal is not to see the best results of their career but to get an idea of what average results look like and get some type of confirmation of how many of these procedures that provider has performed.

Ask to see results that were not as good as the doctor would’ve hoped for and talk about the differences in outcomes.

Honest and experienced providers should have no problems presenting this type of information.

A highly experienced plastic surgeon should have hundreds of before and after pictures for the procedure you’re interested in. At a minimum at least 20+.

5. Read all the reviews on various physician review websites paying close attention and avoiding providers with any significant number of justified negative reviews. Providers with an abundance of reviews often have aggressive marketing campaigns.

The plastic surgeons I respect most all have the single variable of not having justified negative reviews on their online profiles.
In my opinion justified negative reviews are far more telling than an abundance of positive reviews.

6. Avoid scheduling for surgery or making a deposit on the day of the consultation. Give yourself some time to think about the decision and make sure you finished all scheduled consultations before committing to having surgery that will permanently and irreversibly change your body.

When in doubt slow down and schedule more consultations.

Choosing the right plastic surgeon is the single most important variable to having a positive experience.

7. Don’t go chasing after technology or names of certain equipment. Instead focus all your efforts on finding the most experienced and talented board-certified plastic surgeon.

Best,
