Is Vaser liposuction a good option for me? (Photo)

Thank you for your question regarding whether you’re a good candidate for VASER liposuction of the abdomen. In my opinion, you have excess skin and fat of the abdomen as well as muscle weakness. This is why your belly sticks out. You would do much better with a tummy tuck. VASER lipo will only take care of the fat. It will not contract the skin. I would recommend muscle tightening. Therefore in my opinion I would skip the VASER lipo and proceed directly to undergoing a tummy tuck with muscle plication. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding whether you’re a good candidate of VASER liposuction of the abdomen.

HelloThank you for the question, you have some excess skin above the c section scar. Vaser liposuction is a good choice to improve the shape. As you clearly mentioned the scar needs to be revised too.

Hello @Diligent265189 thank you fort your question and showing your picture. Vaser is an excellent surgical technique to improve the proportion of fat in the tissues. And it will depend on the surgical expectations to consider or not in your case a mini abdominoplasty, because when removing part of what holds the tissues of the abdomen which is the fat may present some more flaccidity generating inconformity in the final result of the process. Since you have a cesarean section you can think of performing a less invasive technique in which this is improved by generating a scar just a little longer than the one you already have and you can plicate the muscle to improve your diastasis. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

Hi thanks for your enquiry.
According to the pictures, in my opinion the most suitable option should be tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty) and Vaser liposuction on flanks and possibly back area.
I am Vaser lipo surgeon and not specialist in abdominoplasty procedure however I work in collaboration with plastic surgeons specialised in this procedure. The key here is to understand what you would like to achieve, what are your expectations. In my clinical practice, if a patient refuses to undergo for tummy tuck surgery, then after a careful medical assessment, they could be a possible candidate for Vaser lipo for the circumferential torso, abdomen, flanks and lower back in order to improve the overall silhouette and body contour. The combination of Vaser lipo with J plasma- Renuvion will allow to increase the probability of skin tightening. My experience is not only fat removal but also body contouring.
Compression garments, manual lymphatic drainage sessions after the surgery and healthy diet and exercise can also help. However, your saggy/excess skin and in the abdomen and possible "mucle separation" will not improve and so if you are unhappy after 4-6 months then you should consider surgical treatment to remove the excess of loose skin. The above approach (Circumferential body Vaser lipo) is an option for many women who want to improve their body contour/silhouette with less scars and avoid tummy tuck.
I would strongly suggest to make a consultation with an expert Vaser/ body contouring surgeon for a medical/surgical assessment in order to consider the best suitable treatment.
Hope this helps,
Best Wishes,
Mr Giuseppe Fiore

Thank you for your question and photo. Based on this single view photo, you are a good candidate for VASER Hi Def Liposuction 360 degrees. This is a 3D reshaping as opposed to what your surgeon is planning for you. The C-section scar can be greatly improved as well.
See a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.
BTW, the VASER is a tool, and will not lead to the same results if your surgeon does not know how to use it correctly.
