Is vibro liposculpture a good method to get a slim body (with a small bump of a belly) tight? What is the downtime like?

VibroLipo is not a procedure used in the U.S. However, there are a variety of liposuction techniques approved by the FDA that could produce excellent results for you. I use the Awake lipo technique in my practice, which can be performed using local anesthetic and boasts a relatively short and comfortable recovery process. Before performing the procedure, I infuse the treatment area with a tumescent fluid that loosens fat cells prior to removal. This results in less trauma to surrounding tissue and excellent results. 
It is difficult to determine whether you are a good candidate for liposuction without at least a photo or two. I can tell you that this treatment is designed to remove stubborn areas of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise. Based on your description, it sounds like liposuction could produce the results you want. Make sure you work with a doctor who is both board-certified and experienced in body contouring to ensure an optimal outcome. 

 I tried to find the device you've mentioned from a Google search but could not. Various checking devices that people stand on kept coming up. If this is a marketing ploy for liposuction then I'm guessing it involves some form of Power assisted liposuction and renamed. Possibly tickle Lipo or microaire PAL or power assisted liposuction. These are great machines and make my life easier. Are used them on an almost daily basis. They by no means give better liposuction results. The provider determines the results not the brand of equipment used.  Based on very limited information you have given and no picture no one can tell you if you're a good candidate for this procedure or not nor what type of results you can achieve. We're still guessing as to what the actual treatment is. I suggest consulting with board-certified plastic surgeons in your area to get accurate assessments. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.

Dear Moreinfo,
Hello and thank you for your excellent question. In general, liposuction is an excellent way to improve your figure. Vibroliposculpture is likely a technique that uses a specific liposuction device called "Tickle lipo" or "Air Sculpt". It is absolutely safe. You may want to look into a body contouring procedure that combines liposuction with laser, radiofrequency (RF), and acoustic therapy to produce the best balance of fat reduction and skin tightening and smoothing for your body type and anatomy. We use a proprietary liposuction technique, combined with Emsculpt to help each patient reach his or her desired result. First off, all devices and instruments used are FDA-approved. We start your treatment with Emsculpt to help strengthen your abdominal muscles, augment your buttocks, and reduce any diastasis or abdominal muscle laxity that you may have. This is particularly important for patients who want convert a “round” abdomen to a “flat” abdomen. Emsculpt has been proven to be able to do this based on peer-reviewed research. We then use Smart / Laser Liposuction or VASER (ultrasound) to reduce dense, fibrous fat, and stimulate collagen formation; Radiofrequency-based skin tightening to maximize skin contraction; and Ultrasound, RF, or subcision (Z Wave, Venus, Cellfina) to treat cellulite, maximize fat reduction, and smooth out any irregularities postop. These procedures are usually performed in the office, with only local anesthesia. Patients go home the same day as surgery, do not need any narcotics postop for pain control, and can return to light exercise and work two days after their procedure. In my practice, we select the appropriate treatment for each patient based on their skin quality, amount of fat and surgical goals. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. Preoperative visualization with Crisalix can simulate what your body will look like after surgery and can help you make your decision. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. Good luck!

Best,
