Some #areas of the body Vaser is applied to include the face, chin, neck, arms, back, abdomen, "love handles", buttocks, thighs, hips, saddlebags, knees, and, the male chest during Gynecomastia surgery. 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.

It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews.

VASER can be a powerful tool. In my opinion, it can be too powerful to use in the face.While the VASER breaks down fat selectively, my concern is it can also break down tissues such as parotid glands and other vital structures in the face.To find a talented plastic surgeon, I suggest you start by going on local review websites such as Yelp, RateMDs, etc. Check your surgeon's credentials and confirm that they are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Experience makes a difference. I would recommend looking for someone who has a minimum of 10 to 15 years of experience after their training. You may also want to consider looking for plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons who will focus more extensively on facial work only. Facial plastic surgeons will most likely not carry board certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery but rather the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.This is just my personal opinion, but I think you will find it is backed up by many. Avoid surgeons who do not belong to either one of those two societies.Consider consulting with more than one plastic surgeon. Look for results in before-and-after pictures. Make sure you have a sense of trust and confidence and that the surgeon seems to be a patient advocate first and foremost.This is not the place to look for bargains.As one of my professors used to say, "Don't look for bargains when shopping for parachutes or cosmetic surgery."You may also want to check in the patient forums on RealSelf.Sometimes asking your primary care doctor for a referral is a good idea as well.In New York City, consider a consultation by Dr. Sidney Coleman. While his expertise is in fat transfer, he has much experience in assessing patients' overall need for facial volume corrections.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
