Thanks for your question.The technique does not determine the safety and success of the procedure. All forms of liposuction: traditional, ultrasonic, laser, waterjet etc. utilize different tools but essentially, the actual suctioning of fat (which is the most important part of the procedure) is the same. It is really the skill and experience of the surgeon that determines the safety and outcome.Aloha,Shim Ching, MD
Hi MariaLiposuction results depend mostly on surgical technique. The addition of energy sources (laser, ultrasound/Vaser, etc) help add skin tightening but increase your risk of other problems.The safest choice is to have your liposuction performed by a Specialist Plastic Surgeon in a fully accredited hospital, with a fully qualified anaesthetist performing your anaesthetic.Another option you could consider is CoolSculpting. It is non surgical, permanent fat removal. It works great in the stomach areas, and the Cool-Mini applicator (designed for under chins) has just been released.Good LuckDr Gavin Sandercoe

Thereare endless methods but how good is the PS that is what finally matters.And how closely you following his instructions up to at least 3 months after the procedure.
Liposuction performed by a qualified experienced surgeon ina fully licensed surgical outpatient hospital is as safe as it could be. Ananaesthesiologist should be present as well. What instrument is used forliposuction whether it be traditional, laser or ultrasonic is less importantthan the surgeons experience. Surgical technique, experience and patientselection is paramount.

Thank you for asking about your swollen vocal cords after intubation.I am glad things are improving.Throat lozenges and pastilles, warm tea with lemon and honey, a humidifier to avoid dry air and talking as little as possible will all speed your recovery.Let your surgeon know what happened -...
