Answer: Disappointed with Vaser Lipo Results I am sorry to read of your disappointment. With any surgical #procedure and #revision, there are some risks of unhappy outcome or other complications which your surgeon should discuss with you during your consultation. Typically, it's best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision. As with all #cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. It may be best to consult with a different surgeon for revision treatment. Your procedure should always be performed by a Plastic Surgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in #vaser #lipo. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for another revision procedure

Answer: VASER Hi Definition Liposuction / Body Contouring with Fat Grafting -- HI DEFINITION REVISION VASER Hi Definition Liposuction is a very meticulous procedure and when treating the arms, this should be performed by an expert. You can try external devices like sculpsure/ultrashape/venus legacy/vanquish for improvement but nothing will get you closer to optimal results without a surgical intervention by a revision expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: I had Vaser Lipo on my upper arms which weren't overly large. I just wanted a more toned appearance, poor results Thank you for the question and photo. I agree with you, this is a very poor result done by someone who has limited knowledge of the basic procedure. Now add a powerful tool like VASER into the hands of a poorly trained surgeon, the results are not surprising. It is not the tool that created the problem, but the surgeon's poor understanding of the basic technique and underlying anatomy. These are very difficult to correct and suggest that you seek a second opinion and not go back to your first surgeon. I usually recommend patients that they go back to the original surgeon to attempt correction, but in this case with these results, it might be a mistake.

Answer: Botched Arm Liposuction? So sorry that you're having to deal with this issue. It must be very frustrating to feel self-conscious of your arms and to feel limited with your wardrobe. Yes, it does appear to be a poor liposuction result. I know you want to get this looking better as soon as possible, but it may be best to wait around 9 to 12 months for the scarring to soften. Otherwise, going back too early will result in liposuctioning a concrete mess and not extracting very much fat if more liposuction is needed. In your case, it may also be necessary to use a special cannula to break up the scar tissue and to mobilize the fat in the area in order to move it into areas where there are indentations or craters. An in-person evaluation is needed to give you the best personalized advice. Make sure you go to a plastic surgeon who is skilled in revision liposuction, particularly of the arms, as the arms can be a bit tricky as they are cylindrical and not flat. Best of luck to you.
