Should I go for Vaser or BodyTite? (Photo)

Question

I had classic liposuction 1,5 year ago, but Im not satisfied with the results. For this year and a half i tried a lot of non/minimal invasive procedures such as prp, body threads, cryolipolysis, mesotherapy, lypolitic.... but nothing really helps. I'm very disappointed with unevenness of the abdomen and especially with that depression on the top. Im thinking now to do another procedure, but is it better for me to do Vaser or BodyTite? In my country there is no combined vaser/bodytite procedure.

this needs a revision procedure and in my option to really get "tight and flat" you are going to need a tummy tuck with liposuction and renuvion.  Body tite in this scenario will do minimal without liposuction and with liposuction will not do enough to get you the "best" result.
You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Looking at your photo, we are curious to know if you got lymphatic massages after your traditional lipo procedure? We recommend that you must get a package of lymphatic massages after your procedure otherwise its very possible for your tissue to harden and cause lumps to your stomach.

We perform body contouring revisions every week from patients who have been treated with traditional liposuction. There is absolutely no option but VASER liposuction to achieve perfection after what you have been through. VASER is the only modality that is able to remove the residual fat, scar tissue, and help tighten your skin. You should consider a virtual consultation with a VASER master to appreciate the changes you can expect.

body tight is a skin tightening radiofrequency treatment often done at the same time as liposuction.  VASER is an ultrasound assisted device used immediately before liposuction to help remove fat more aggressively.  They are two totally different technologies and should not be compared.   For people who have skin laxity adding a body tight can give slightly better results.  The only variable that matters is who does your procedure. Find a plastic surgeon who is done thousands of liposuction cases with a proven track record of consistently delivering top-notch results and you’ll be fine.  Regardless of equipment any provider who doesn’t know what they’re doing is going to put you at risk of having an undesirable outcome.  Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Hi and welcome to our forum!
From your photos, it appears that there appears to be a significant residual abdominal fat repository present. 
Vaser liposuction utilizes ultrasound to semiliquify the fatty tissue into which it comes into contact, facilitating easier removal with a liposuction cannula. 
BodyTite utilizes radio-frequency energy to tighten skin by stimulating collagen production, often performed in conjunction with liposuction.
The type
of liposuction is not as important as the experience and expertise of the
surgeon behind the instrument. Seek an experienced board certified plastic
surgeon. Look at his / her before and after pictures.
15% of cosmetic procedures require a secondary touchup.
