Vaser Lipo as an addon?

VASER is a device that uses ultrasound energy to emulsify the fat.
To review- in most areas of our bodies, our fat is divided into three layers: superficial, intermediate, and deep. As with all lipo procedures, we first start with the infiltration of tumescent solution. This allows for numbing, vasoconstriction (decreasing bleeding), and engorging the fat cells. What takes place next is the differentiating factor.
Some surgeons will go straight into liposuctioning the fat. This is traditional lipo. It can be done either through the assistance of PAL (power. assisted lipo) which decreases the number of passes the surgeon has to make to remove the fat, or merely hand held lipo, which is just a cannula connected to a suction device. Fat removal is generally limited to deeper layers of the fat to avoid contour irregularities.
Other surgeons, including myself, elect to use VASER prior to liposculpting, I am able to go through all layers of the fat, including the superficial layers, and can maximize my fat extraction. I can also introduce abdominal etching as well. I have great videos on my website that review these topics in much greater detail.
In my practice, after tumescent, VASER, and lipo are completed, I then use Renuvion J Plasma or BodyTite to tighten the skin.
Hope this helps!

All forms of liposuction are basically the same. It is based on a small stainless steel tube connected to a source of vacuum this pushed back-and-forth through the fat gradually removing small particles of fat with each pass. The brand names of various technologies come in the form of secondary treatments typically done just before or just after the actual liposuction. In the case of VASER and ultrasound probe is passed through the fat before the fattest removed with a regular Liposuction Cannula. Some people feel that adding this ultrasound pre-treatment allows them to remove fat more effectively. In the end it’s not the VASER that’s removing the fat but a traditional Liposuction Cannula. The same is true for laser assisted Liposuction such as the brand name smart Lipo. with that procedure a laser fiber is passed through the fat either before or after regular liposuction.
There is a third fairly common type of Liposuction called PAL or power assisted Liposuction. in this modality the actual liposuction cannula itself is different in that it is attached to a device making it vibrate very rapidly.
In the end what device is used has very little influence when you compare to the impact provider selection house. A talented experienced provider can deliver quality results on a regular basis using any form of liposuction. An inexperienced or less talented surgeon will not be able to deliver superior results no matter what device they purchased.
Liposuction results are highly provider dependent and delivering it consistent quality Liposuction results is more difficult than most people believe including plastic surgeons.
Liposuction results are highly provider dependent and delivering it consistent quality Liposuction results is more difficult than most people believe including plastic surgeons. results from these procedures regardless of what the name of the device is called are permanent and more or less irreversible.
If done incorrectly patients can be left disfigured.
Anybody interested in getting Liposuction should consider that this procedure has more variation in outcomes than any other plastic surgery procedure purely based on provider selection. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of properly vetting plastic surgeons to find someone with sufficient skill and experience.
Defined the most talented and experience the provider I suggest patients have multiple in person consultations with local board certified plastic surgeons. During consultations ask each provider to show their entire collection up before and after pictures. an experienced surgeon should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 sets a before and after pictures. Being shown a handful of pre-selected pictures which most likely represent the best results of the providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider. we should also ask providers to show as many pictures as possible of patients with similar body characteristics to your own. you may also want to ask providers to show examples of excellent outcomes, average outcomes and less than outcomes. finally I recommend reading all reviews on various physician review websites avoiding providers for any significant number of justified negative reviews. The absence of justified negative reviews is more important and more telling than having an abundance of positive reviews.
Once done correcting poorly done Liposuction is extremely difficult. Best,
