Considering circumferential Vaser lipo what are the risks? How much pain will I be in after?

In the right hands, VASER is a safe procedure. Pain can be variable for patients who have had liposuction. If necessary, this pain can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications and neurontin. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. It can take 3-6 months for final results with liposuction. I suggest lymphatic massage, hyperbaric oxygen, and RF treatments like venus legacy to help reduce any swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I have been routinely performing Vaser ultrasound 360 liposuction for over 10 years. It is vastly superior to traditional liposuction and helps me give fantastic results.Vaser safely helps with thick tissues such as flanks and back, also tightens skin such as abdomens. Permanent scar tissue and nerve damage are extremely rare and unusual.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations. 

You should consider Vaser circumferential liposuction which will provide you transformative results. When considering Vaser liposuction, you should try a Vaser specialist. As an official Vaser trainer, I have worked with surgeons from all over the world and have seen varying skill levels. Look at before and afters with a critical eye. Pain is minimized using Experal which keeps you numb for 4 days as well as customized compression garments with foam in lays that minimize pain. Finally, a regimented lymphatic message program over the first 10 days is critical to achieving high definition liposuction results. Please make a skype or facetime consultation with a Vaser specialist to ensure that you get the best results.Respectfully,Dr. MowlaviRealself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee

All patients develop scar tissue and nerve damage from liposuction. The nerves regenerate and sensation comes back to normal within a few months.  The scar tissue will soften up and matured over the next couple of months. Risks vary from minor imperfections to death.  Realistically liposuction is a very safe procedure with remarkably few serious complications. The most common complication is poor outcomes when the procedure is done by someone who does not have talent or experience.  Patients often describe the sensation after having liposuction as overdoing it in the gym when you're out of shape. Patient's describe a certain muscle burn that is the worst in the morning and gets better as you start moving throughout the day.  Just like over exercising the pain decreases over the next few days and a week later patients are mildly tender and can generally go back to daily activities. Most patients to start light exercise by two weeks. The recovery varies significantly depending on how aggressive the procedure is being done. For patients who need aggressive liposuction it to get the best results recovery will be a little more intense.  Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D. 

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Vaser liposuction is a safe procedure which allows removal of significant amounts of fat with minimal postoperative downtime. Many individuals return to normal activities in less than one week. Safety is increased if the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Strict state mandated protocols control the nature of the infusion solution utilized and the amounts of fat that can be removed at one time. Pain is managed quite well with medication. Complications as you describe are quite rare.
Set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss further.
