Would I be a good candidate for Vaser Lipo or liposculpture? What’s the difference between the two?

An ideal  #candidate for Vaser Liposuction is a person in good health who seeks a minimally invasive way to remove stubborn fat with less downtime than traditional #liposuction.  Vaser is ideal for those seeking improved definition of muscles and contouring.  Those who seek increased sculpting of are ideal vaser lipo candidates.
There are three types of #Vaser Lipo. Each benefit patients differently depending on their needs. It is usually recommended that patients who have recently experienced weight loss and massive weight loss (#MWL) remain consistent at their weight for at least six to twelve months prior any cosmetic surgery. This includes post-pregnancy. Such will better ensure longer lasting results of the procedure without risking the fluctuation and stretching of the skin tissue. It's best to begin consulting with a board certified plastic surgery to learn if you are a candidate for liposuction. If so, you will then learn more about which #technique will work best for you and your goals. It is important you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with #vaser #liposuction. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation. Information that you read online may not apply to your personal situation.

Thank you for your questions regarding liposuction or liposculpture. During liposculpting or traditional liposuction, an incision is made and tumescent solution is injected. Once the tumescent solution has settled 15-30 minutes, a liposuction cannula is inserted and fat is removed. This is liposculpture or traditional liposuction. VASER Liposuction adds another step. After the tumescent solution is injected, the VASER probe is injected. VASER emits ultrasonic energy to help melt the fat and heat the skin. Melting the fat with the VASER yields more fat during the liposuction procedure. Heating the skin with the VASER maximizes skin contractility and skin shrinkage and overall gives better results than traditional liposuction. After the VASER probe has been used, traditional liposuction cannula is inserted, and more fat is removed. Therefore, traditional liposuction is a two-step procedure: injection of tumescent solution and fat aspiration. Vaser liposuction is a three-step procedure: injection of the tumescent solution, melting the fat and heating the undersurface of the skin with the VASER, and fat aspiration. In my opinion, VASER liposuction gives a more superior result than traditional liposuction. It increases the fat yield and maximizes skin contractility. When seeking liposuction procedure seek an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon with many years of experience. If you have any other questions regarding VASER liposuction or plastic surgery, call my office. I hope I answered your question!

Hello jasbrooks,

Thanks for your photos and questions! Based on your pictures I would say that you are a good candidate for VASER Liposuction. If you are frustrated by the resistance of certain body areas to diet and exercise, VASERlipo may be the solution. I’d recommend you consult with your plastic surgeon about your particular needs and expectations. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.

For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, depending on skin laxity. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thak you for your question and provide us with your images. Liposculpture or conventional liposuction is use to eliminate deposits of fat located in different parts of the body, and lipovaser is also use to get fat out of those regions with little fat, it can be anywhere on your body, is less invasive,  powerful enough to remove fat from any area of the body and soft enough to treat delicated areas and protect other tissues from demage.

Based on your pictures you  appear to be a good candidate for a lipovaser of the abdomen (3D), back and waist. VASER is a procedure that works really good but you have to wait a least 1 or 2 months to see the results, also you need to know that everyones body respondes differently.

All the best!!

VASER liposuction performed by an expert VASER specialist is the gold standard in contouring. Any other terminology is vague! Please make a consultaiton with a vaser specialist to get a definitive recommendation.
