Vaser lipo has left me with hideous creases and lines and I'm deeply unhappy, had two lots of it! What can be done? (Photos)

Question

What would you recommend to get the legs looking better, I hate them, they had no creases prior! It's like too much Vaser lipo was performed. The guy repeated the process after I pointed out I was very unhappy. It cost me £5000 and I'm disfigured- won't swim or show my legs anymore

Sorry to see this result, but it is not the fault of the Vaser apparatus, this problem is from over suction of the superficial skin. It can be easily corrected with repeat gentile suction. Hope this helps. JB

Depending on the degree of extra skin and/or fat following vaser may determine if further treatment and perhaps a different treatment may be required as a revision. With that said, lifting those areas of the body in conjunction with liposuction can provide better results for some patients. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. Typically, it's best to wait 6  to 12 months based on the reason for #revision. It's suggested that you begin by consulting with your doctor or a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in greater detail.

Hi DavidB,I am sorry that you are not happy with your results, unfortunately, it was not the vaser that left you with your current results.  Vaser used in the the right hands and proper area will lead to very good results.  I would say that at this point since you have had 2 treatments with vaser you are left with mostly skin laxity and will require a procedure to remove the skin now.  Alternative is to find a new provider and go for a consult and see what other options you have!

Hi There, 
I am sorry you are having to go through this. Though the Vaser delivers high frequency ultrasound which helps skin tighten, the skin in the inner thighs does not contract as well as other areas. I do not recommend further liposuction to correct this, rather a thigh lift to remove the excess skin. This procedure does carry a scar that runs down the inner portion of the thigh from the groin. There are treatments to help minimize the appearance of scar, however. 
Hope this helps,
Javad Sajan, MD

I am sorry you are unhappy with your results.  The good news is that, if you have a consultation with a physician who is very experienced in Vaser Lipo, they should be able to offer some solutions.  For example, if they go back in and use the ultrasound energy to break up the fat in the area, they should be able to suck some out and reinsert it into the creases and areas where you are too hollow.  If you go to a physician that also offers J Plasma, then they could do skin tightening as well, which would improve the appearance.Best of luck to you.

You have redundant medial thigh skin which will require a medial thigh tuck to correct. If he hadn't taken that much fat you would have complained that he didn't take enough ! What you need to do is to just complete a medial thigh tuck to eliminate the small amount of redundant skin.

Inner thighs are typically not great areas for liposuction as a general statement.
People with tight skin will do better.
People with loose skin will have mediocre results at best with the potential of passing disfigurement.
Your primary reason for the look of your inner thighs is most likely skin laxity.
An inner thigh lift could help but you would definitely need an examination to determine if this is a realistic option for you.
Overly excessive liposuction it's difficult and at times not possible to correct.
My guess is the second VASER treatment made things worse.
Avoid further liposuction and consider skin surgery.
It's unfortunate when doctors, hopefully a board-certified plastic surgeon, don't have enough experience and recommend procedures that are bound to fail.
