Water Lipo vs. Vaser Lipo: which is better for me? (Photo)

Question

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? I like that the water lipo is gentle with less down time, but I like the skin tightening possibilities that some seem to get with Vaser. I just can't decide!! Thank you for answering!!

Hello, and thank you for your question. I have utilized both devices and find the vaser device to be far superior. The water device is a good device for harvesting fat for fat grafting but otherwise I have been disappointed with it. It should be noted with full disclosure that I have been utilizing  vaser device for over 10 years and I believe I would be considered biased on this subject. Best of luck with your decision.

Choose the surgeon who you think is most talented.The technology has little to no impact on the outcome in relation to the skill of the surgeon.Do not rely on any of these technologies to leave any significant skin tightening.I say this after having performed over 2,000 liposuction procedures in the last five years, including using VASER, smart liposuction, laser liposuction, Tickle liposuction, TriSculpt and AirSculpt.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
