Vaser 6 months post op. Any input on these results? (Phtoo)

looks like you need a revision and needed internal heating with plasma to get a better outcome. Best, Dr. Emer.

Unfortunately your results do not display any definition or contour. I encourage you to consult an expert on VASER if you are considering revision surgery. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

If you want us to make an assessment on the outcome of a procedure then you need to post proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have those then ask your provider to forward the ones they took.

A seroma needs to be treated by aspiration on a regular basis until no fluid re-accumulates. This can mean visiting the plastic surgeons office every couple of days for weeks.

If this is not done aggressively early after surgery the fluid collection will become encapsulated. Once in capsulated it cannot be treated by aspiration any longer. Because of the encapsulation the fluid will simply return.

An encapsulated seroma can only be treated by surgically removing the capsule then typically placing a drain.

Your surgeon is responsible for the outcome of the procedure and you are responsible for choosing that surgeon.
