Best type of lipo for hips/flanks?

Question

I've read many surgeons on this site talk about it being the surgeon's skill more than the type of lipo that matters to getting a great result. So assuming you have a board certified, experienced plastic surgeon, is there one type of lipo that tends to get the best smooth contour, least lumps, best complete reduction of fat, etc. for the flank area? I've read on here that Vaser is supposed to be good for flanks? Does any method have an edge?

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.What distinguishes the Vaser lipo procedure is its ability to differentiate targeted #fat from other important tissues; such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Innovative VASER #technology breaks up fat while preserving these other important tissues to promote smooth #results and rapid healing. There are three types of #Vaser Lipo.

According to a randomized clinical trial comparing VASER liposuction versus traditional liposuction, the VASER liposuction group produced more skin retraction and is associated with less bleeding.  According to Dr. Jewel's study involving over 70,000 patients, VASER liposuction is safe with minimal or no contour irregularity.  The surgeon's skill is indeed important, and there's different methods involved such as the 4D VASER Liposculpture.  Good luck and may God bless you.Dr. DLC

I suggest posting pictures. A hi definition liposuction surgery can be used in the right situations and candidates to fully remove all fat and contour the body.  I suggest you see this type of expert as most people just remove some fat but do not give a very significant transformation.  If you are looking for more than I would consider VASER hi def (see my yelp).  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Certainly, the most important determinant is the experience of your treating surgeon. We have utilized all forms of liposuction devices and we have found that our best results have been utilizing vaser. The patient's tend to have less bruising and swelling and a quicker recovery.

Thank you for your question.  I perform Vaser liposuction on patients who are looking to contour their bodies by having fat removed.  Vaser allows the surgeon to more effectively break down the fat by delivering ultrasound energy to break down the fat.  It is especially beneficial in scar tissue cases which makes traditional lipo more difficult.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
