Vaser for lipedema: is there a special type of lipo for people with lipedema?

July 11, 2020
Asked By:Missngm

I found out I have lipoedema. It's uncomfortable and swollen. I would like to liposuction on my full legs & bottom. For me, there would be health & cosmetic benefits. I spoke to a surgeon who said can do Vaser Lipo in 1session. My concern is that I read it has to be a special sort of Lipo for lipedema as they have to be careful not to damage the lymph system which irreparable. Is this true or will any Vaser do? Do I need a lipedema expert or is an experienced surgeon enough?
