Is Vaser liposuction as effective as regular tumescent liposuction?

July 27, 2015
Asked By:champagnepearls in Ottawa, ON

I have the choice of either type for lipo to my flanks and back. The Vaser price quoted was much higher than tumescent, with a claim of skin tightening and less bumpy. Is this true or just some marketing hype? This it to be performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck and I'm worried that if I choose Vaser, I will be leaking fluids all over the place. This poses as problem as I will be alone for these procedures and am worried about infection and cleaning. Thank you
