Vaser Liposuction - would liposuction on lower legs cause loose skin? (Photo)

Liposuction will always generate some loose skin. How much skin retraction you get is impossible to know. I have found that VASER does seem to induce more skin contraction than just regular liposuction.

Hello ,
Thank you for your question.
VASER liposuction can be an effective option for reducing soft fat in the calves and ankles, especially if your skin shows some elasticity, as you mentioned with the pinch test. While your age (58) may limit skin retraction slightly, VASER’s ability to stimulate collagen may help improve firmness. If the bulk is mostly soft, non-fibrotic fat, and your concern is mild sagging when seated, results could be favorable. However, if loose skin is a significant factor, combining VASER with a skin-tightening treatment like Renuvion may offer better results.

After liposuction your skin retraction will be influenced by several factors. Some include age, skin elasticity, and amount of fat removed. Your surgeon can let you know during an examination if you are a good candidate for surgery and what you can expect in terms of results. After surgery it is important to closely follow your surgeon's instructions for optimal results.

VASER liposuction can improve lower leg contour by about 60%, especially in areas with soft fat and mild skin laxity. It gently removes fat while stimulating some skin tightening, with the best results achieved through careful technique and proper post-op care.
