Possible to See Results After 1 Vaser Lipo Session?

Question

Is it possible to see Vaser liposuction results for the abs, love handles, flanks, and inner thighs in 1 session? Some clinics that I've spoken to said that it's possible, while some said otherwise. It's governed by the amount of tumescent fluid that is allowed per kg. of my weight. I'm 1.72m and 82 kg. Can anyone advise?

Thank you for your question regarding if it’s possible to see results after one VASER liposuction session. In my practice, I usually only need one session of VASER liposuction to get patients their desired results. It depends on how much fat you have. If you have lots of excess skin, you might need a lift and reduction instead of just liposuction. I see that you asked this question in 2009, and there have been many updates in laser liposuction since then. However, it’s still a great machine that I still use today. I performed over 1000 VASER liposuction procedures and have hundreds of before and after pictures on my website to look at. Please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Thank you.

Vaser liposuction, also known as Vaser #lipo, LipoSelection or Liposuction, is an advanced body #contouring procedure that selectively removes unwanted body fat. An alternative to the harsh techniques of traditional liposuction, #Vaser lipo uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology designed to gently #reshape your body. Vaser Lipo  is capable of removing fat from resilient areas providing a smoother and slimmer results. Some #areas of the body Vaser is applied to include the face, chin, neck, arms, back, abdomen, "love handles", buttocks, thighs, hips, saddlebags, knees, and, the male chest during Gynecomastia surgery. An ideal #candidate for Vaser Liposuction is a person in good health who seeks a minimally invasive way to remove stubborn fat with less downtime than traditional #liposuction. Vaser is ideal for those seeking improved definition of muscles and contouring. Those who seek increased sculpting of are ideal vaser lipo candidates.Following your #vaser procedure, the final results are typically most noticeable 2-4 months later. If you are unsatisfied with your results at that point, it's best to contact your board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options for improvement.

Dear Sylvia,
Unlike the multitude of the "noninvasive skin tightening" techniques out there where you may need a map and a flashlight and a tour guide to tell the BEFORE from the AFTER pictures - this is NOT the case with VASER liposuction / liposelection.
The results are immediate and are NOT "governed by the amount of tumescent fluid that is allowed per kg. of my weight". Every liposuction technique is associated with post-operative swelling. If your surgeon uses drains or leaves the liposuction ports open (efficient but messy) there will be much less swelling and the results will be OBVIOUS.
Good Luck.

Vaser liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to free the fat in specific areas. It is absolutely assured that you would see results with Vaser Liposuction after one treatment.  If you don't see results, then the doctor is probably not doing much.
