I'm interested in removing my genetic double chin with vaser liposuction. However, I've been reading up on the potentiality for necrosis to occur with liposuction. What's the likelihood or such a thing occurring? I'm young (24), don't smoke or drink and I try to eat a whole foods plant based diet as much as possible. Any insight would be much appreciated - thank you.
Answer: Vaser liposuction and skin necrosis Skin necrosis can occur with over use of vaser liposuction. Vaser creates thermal energy which is essential in skin tightening. However, overuse of the device and over suctioning can deprive the overlying skin of tissue oxygenation and hence skin necrosis. Adequate but judicious use of the device can provide great results with minimal risk of skin necrosis especially in young healthy patients.

Answer: Skin Necrosis is Rare Skin necrosis is always a possibility with any type of liposuction, VASER is no exception. With that being said, skin necrosis is a very rare complication of liposuction. Anytime a section of skin is undermined and the blood flow potentially disrupted, there is a chance for skin necrosis. The neck has a robust blood supply and the likely hood of skin necrosis occurring is exceedingly low.

Answer: Neck Sag -- Fillers Like Belotero, Silk; Fraxel or Erbium Laser; Botox/Dysport/Xeomin; Sagging needs Neck Lift, Renvion/Vaser facetite + liposuction is better than vaser. ive been doing vaser and other energy based devices for 13+ years. never had a necrosis and the chance is minimal if this is done right that Is why you see an expert (see link provided). With significant neck sagging you would need a neck/face lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). at the same time lasers (fraxel, co2 or erbium( or microneedling RF (fractora, intensif) can be . performed to improve the crepe skin or wrinkles. You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach: 1. micro needling and lasers for texture 2. botox, disport or xeomin to help platysmal bands 3. intensif or fractora RF microneedling for crepe skin and lifting 4. fillers like belotero, restylane silk, juvederm volbella to improve lines and folds 5. neck/face lifting if sagging is prominent or early starting +/- platysmaplasty (muscle tightening) 6. J plasma/Renuvion, thermiRF, inmode facetite for internal tightening 7. ultherapy and thermage for external tightening 8. regular Venus legacy, exilis ultra, or inmode forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness 9. PDO novathreads or silhouette instalift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production see an expert for a full evaluation and treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.

Answer: Vaser liposuction extremely safe In my experience over 12 years of thousands of Vaser ultrasound liposuction cases, it is extremely safe.Tumescent solution and proper surgeon‘s technique protects the skin and tissues from injury.Vaser is very effective for chin/neck area and can even be performed under local.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who regularly performs Vaser procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your concerns, options and expectations. We are also offering virtual consultations.

Answer: Double chin and Vaser assisted liposuction The chin is probably the most delicate area that we treat with liposuction and we therefore use low energy settings and thin cannulas. The more fat in the double chin that can be removed, the more significant the change in the person's profile. It can be rather dramatic and satisfying to both patient and clinician. Your age and lifestyle also contribute to a good outcome. Regarding your question about necrosis: This extremely rare phenomenon would occur with extensive burns as caused by over zealous superficial vaser at high energy and/or the liposuction stage is performed too aggressive and too superficial. Simply find a liposuctionist with experience and who had treated many chins and you will be fine. It can be a life changing experience and the result is visible to the patient every day being an exposed part of the human anatomy, the face&neck region.
