Loose skin and lines after Vaser lipo. How do I improve this? (Photo)

Thank you for your questions and photos.  Any type of liposuction, including Vaser, can leave you with loose skin, especially, if you already had some loose skin to begin with.  Vaser does result in more skin tightening than liposuction alone and can sometime take up to one year to see final results.  At 6 months post-surgery, most of your swelling should be gone, but not all.  There are several non-surgical devices on the market for skin tightening (and endermologie is not the best, in my opinion).  At my office, we have been getting great results with Thermi250.  The minimally-invasive treatment, ThermiTight is perhaps the best device currently for skin tightening.  This treatment is done through just a few needle-holes in the skin using local anesthesia (similar to liposuction).  There is very little down-time and risks of the procedure are very low.  Other devices include: Venus Legacy, Exillis, Viora Reaction, Tru-Sculpt, Thermage, VelaShape, and others.  Non-surgical devices work pretty well, but often also rely on the patient's ability to heal and form new collagen, so results are not necessarily consistent from one patient to the next.  Another possibility is that you could have areas of residual fat - this is something your surgeon should determine.  All surgeons can get sub-optimal results on occasion.  The best surgeons recognize this and are willing to do what it takes to make things right.  So, if after 9-12 months, you are still not satisfied with results, then let your surgeon know this.  Chances are, he or she will make sure you are happy with results.

With non-surgical treatments, skin tightening can be done with a combination of vanquish, venus legacy, exilis, celllutone/Zwave. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
