Vaser lipo now or Aqualyx/Kybella in future? (Photo)

simplelivingplsNov 11, 2020
I always have flanks. I was leaner before lockdown because of gym and less bored eating. I planned to do Kybella or Aqualyx for the stubborn fat. I have gained weight due to lockdown. The love handles are more prominent. The cosmetic surgeon thinks Vaser will work well. Lockdown has lifted so I will have routine and gym again and plan to lose weight. The flanks will remain to some degree though. Vaser or Kybella? Thank you.

Great question. Often times, "droopy" skin forms either skin laxity or redundancy. The difference between the two is that skin redundancy is skin excess, which is best treated via excision. Skin laxity is looseness of skin, but not necessarily an excess. This is best treated with Renuvion J...

Great question. VASER, on its own, should not create any discoloration to your skin. VASER uses ultrasound guided energy to emulsify (or liquify) the fat. The steady and constant movement of the probes in a fanning motion minimize the risk of thermal or burn injury to the overlying skin. In...
