Jeff Angobaldo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Select your surgeon
carefully.  Make sure the surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  Unlike a pair a shoes, the results of surgery are not
returnable.  Make sure your surgery is performed in an accredited surgical
center or hospital.  Best Wishes

I appreciate your question.

Vaser assisted liposuction utilizes ultrasound to emulsify or melt felt prior to removal. It is also used to etch or define the muscles and normal anatomy to enhance the results. I use a specialized technique to remove the deeper fat areas and sculpt the superficial fat, so that one can achieve the goal of having not only a flatter stomach but also a more defined and curvaceous body if wanted. I can use this technique on the arms as well.

I also use the fat removed to graft into the pecs for men or breasts for women as well as into the arms and other areas to further enhance muscle definition.

The best candidates for the procedure already have a good muscular base.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery and high definition body contouring.

Best of luck!

There are very few doctors in the US that are trained to do VASER hi def 4D contouring. I suggest you only go to an expert.  In my practice we do more than anyone in the country and I combine skin tightening/tummy tuck, breast surgery if needed on the same day.  Please seek a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

I think the better question is which American board of plastic surgery certified surgeon in Chicago or the Midwest is a good fit for you. Traveling outside of the United States for medical care is always risky. If you have a complication you will want your surgeon and staff readily available to take care of you. Please be careful.Best

Thank you for your question about liposuccion.
My main advice is to carefully choose your surgeon, make sure to ask if he or she is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Also, travelling abroad is not ideal for surgery, not only for the surgery itself but the follow-up and possible complications.
