Can Vaser Liposuction cause skin sagging? (photo)

A thorough evaluation of your skin laxity, muscle tone, and adiposity through a consult would be most beneficial to you. If liposuction is coupled with skin tightening technology, loose skin concerns can be addressed.

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.

Removing subcutaneous fat can create some skin compromise.

Generally speaking well done liposuction should not create skin laxity.

Certain areas respond better to liposuction than others. Inner thigh is an area that tends to not deliver results similar to our patients had hoped for and an attempt of getting quality results by being aggressive inner thigh Liposuction can lead to skin laxity issues or contour irregularities.

I suggest scheduling multiple in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons who have extensive Liposuction experience. During consultations ask each provider to show their entire collection of before and after pictures of liposuction of the anatomic areas you’re interested in having treated. An experienced provider should have a collection of before and after pictures that reads like a telephone book.

There is no particular advantage in recovery to using VASER.

From a patient’s perspective there really is no one single device that has any significant advantage over another.

The single variable that matters is who does the procedure not the equipment used to.

Choosing the most experience and talented provider regardless of what equipment they use is by far the most important decision you can make and I would focus on that exclusively.

Best,
