Does hi def Vaser lipo really tighten skin better than other forms of lipo?

VASER is an incredible tool when used in the proper scenarios.  Yes, it will tighten skin to some degree but plastic surgeons who make great claims that it will tighten skin incredibly well are misleading you.  VASER will tighten skin when it is brought very close to the surface such as in high-definition cases.  However, for generalized liposuction cases the skin tightening received will be minimal.  It will tighten skin more than traditional liposuction, but if skin tightening is what you are after, there are better options such as BodyTite.  VASER and BodyTite in together provides very powerful skin tightening.  So to answer your question, no, it is not that good regarding skin tightening.

Personally, I use Vaser ultrasound liposuction for the majority of my cases. It easily removed stubborn areas of fat with great skin tightening. (Which traditional liposuction does not offer).An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations. 

I have seen in 10 years of using Vaser that skin tightening is excellent, however the provider must assess the patients skin turgor to see if the skin has the ability to pull back and give a good appearance. Hope this is helpful. JB

Vaser liposuction, also known as Vaser #lipo, LipoSelection or Liposuction, is an advanced body #contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, #Vaser lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently #reshape your body.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. Vaser Lipo  is capable of removing fat from resilient areas providing a smoother and slimmer results. It is common for reducing love handles, extra skin along the bra line or flanks on many female patients. Additionally, it is often applied to the reduction of male breast surgeries, called gynecomastia surgery. Meanwhile, Vaser Hi-Def  targets both deep and superficial fat cells which is found around muscle tissue. This is suggested to tone and defined rather than reduce fat when not necessary. Finally, Vaser #4D, although similar to Vaser Hi-Def works well with the existing muscle tissue.. However, it results in more natural appearing definition to those areas, being treated. Vaser 4D is often applied to treating abdominal region to improve definition.  Additionally, it's not uncommon for Vaser Liposuction to combined with fat transfer which removes and transfers fat to another area of the body. 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

Greater skin tightening (up to 50% more) can be achieved with VASER than with other types of liposuction, as the ultrasound energy can be safely applied in the tissue layer just below the skin. However, the degree of skin tightening is dependent on a number of variables (age, body area, skin quality, amount of laxity), so VASER can't be relied upon to get the amount of desired skin tightening in all circumstances. It's not unusual to use a combination of treatments to get the best results. As always, evaluation by a qualified surgeon is necessary to assess your individual needs.

Hello RecoveringSelf,
Thank you for your question. The VASER is an ultrasonic unit that uses heat and vibrations to break up fat deposits without damaging surrounding tissues, thus making the procedure gentler on the patient and surgeon. There are many benefits to VASER Assisted Liposuction including a natural and smooth end result and 53% more skin tightening.

The VASER Hi Def Liposculpturing system uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently reshape your body. What distinguishes the VASER Hi Def Liposculpturing procedure is its ability to chisel out six pack abs, pecs, lats, obliques (as well as other muscle groups).VASER technology is also able to differentiate targeted fat from other important tissues – such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.
I hope this helps to answer your question.

The benefits of VASER is the minimal potential for damage to nerves arteries and lymphatics using the technique while being able to maximize fat removal and skin tightening. The settings and probes are adjustable making the technique more versatile. Peer reviewed clinical studies have shown theee to be less blood loss and pain competitively as well. Hope this answers your question. 

Vaser lipo can definitely tighten your skin but adding J plasma simultaneously will maximize skin tightening. Please see a high definition liposuction provider that provides both Vaser and J Plasma procedures.
