Hello! I've met with 2 PS who I really like, I want to have lipo of my flanks and upper/lower abs. One surgeon uses a water lipo machine and the other uses Vaser. I don't have a large amount of fat, just a little belly and muffin top I can't get rid of... Which method of lipo would work best for me?
