Am I a good candidate for Vaser Lipo for my saddle bags? (photos)

Question

No matter how much weight I drop the size of my saddle bags will not budge. I fairly lean everywhere else. Am I a good candidate for Vaser lipo?

Kimberly Butterwick, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question and photos. Based on the images, it appears you might be a very good candidate for liposuction to treat your saddlebags. I offer Awake lipo for this purpose, which uses tumescent fluid to loosen fat cells for easier removal. The process results in less trauma to surrounding tissue and may require a shorter recovery time for some patients than traditional lipo techniques. It can also be done using local anesthesia, which reduces risks during and after treatment. 
Liposuction uses micro-cannulas inserted directly into the treatment area to gently suction away unwanted fat cells. Many patients find the skin conforms easily over the new contour, but I also offer non-surgical options in skin tightening to put the finishing touches on a body sculpting treatment when necessary. ThermiTight and Ultherapy are two popular choices for this purpose. 
My best advice is to be sure you work with a doctor who is both board certified and highly experienced in the lipo technique they use. With the right doctor and a treatment plan tailored to your precise needs, your liposuction procedure should be safe and effective.

Thank you for your question and photos. Looking at your photos you are a good candidate for vaser liposuction and Renuvion It can sculpt and shape multiple areas in a single procedure, immediate and precise sculpting of delicate areas of the body. Realistic curves and definition, even for hard-to-fix spots. Give you smoother and more predictable results, enhanced skin retraction (skin tightening) with minimal pain, swelling and bruising. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who will explain the benefit of both procedures. All the best

When we perform liposuction to the lower legs, microcannulas are used to remove fat very superficially without damaging the tissue or causing any scars or irregularities. Multiple energy devices are used to melt fat and tighten skin, which is especially needed in this small, sensitive area. Precision and skill is vital to get the best outcomes.Coolsculpting and Kybella are non-surgical options that can also be used for fat reduction in the knees.
I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert to determine the best course of treatment for you. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. You appear to have youthful skin elasticity and could be a good candidate for liposuction of your outer thigh saddlebag areas. I recommend consulting with a experienced liposuction surgeon who can physically examine you to determine the amount of fat vs bone structure you have in these areas. Vaser liposuction may provide a nice result, however tumescent liposuction may be a good option for these areas also. Good luck!

The ultimate treatment for saddlebags and your back and belly is high definition body contouring using VASER liposuction and scarless skin tightening using Renuvion which will result in transforming your torso, saddlebags, and buttocks. Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring specialist.
