Is the Vaser lipo better than the Smart lipo system? Can someone tell me what's the difference and what type usually works best for getting rid of fat around the belly and chest?

Answer: Different Technologies for Different Patients Thank you for your question. VASERlipo and Smartlipo are tools to improve the outcome of liposuction. VASER uses ultrasound energy; Smartlipo uses a laser. VASER's ultrasound energy breaks apart fat before removal for less trauma to the surrounding tissues. Smartlipo's laser energy does the same, with the added bonus of some skin tightening, a nice benefit when it's used on the abdomen, arms, legs and neck. Both methods are effective, but they are used for slightly different reasons. The choice essentially comes down to the surgeon's expertise and preferred technique. I recommend consulting with a few different liposuction surgeons for an opinion and explanation of their preferences before you move forward with your procedure. Good luck with your decision.

Answer: Vaser vs Smart Lipo? I've been performing lipo for almost two decades and have used every major technology currently available (smart lipo, vaser, PAL/tickle, water jet, manual conventional, and manual microcannular). They are all capable of producing excellent results, but they are not really necessary in experienced hands.Vaser and laser (smart lipo) aren't actually technologies which remove fat - they liquify the fat partially using heat and the fat is extracted by standard liposuction afterwards. I haven't seen any difference in results between either technology compared to each other or compared to manual (standard) liposuction except for speed. Manual liposuction is fastest and laser lipo (smart lipo) is slowest. The recovery is identical in terms of pain, bruising, swelling.Your best recommendation would be to focus on finding an experienced surgeon with a large portfolio of excellent results. If the surgeon can't deliver excellent results, all else is meaningless.

Answer: VASERLipo makes more Sense to me than SmartLipo Liposuction works. Do enhanced techniques enhance?Enhancements:1. SmartLipo and LaserLipo. Both use heat at the tip to change fat. 2. VASER Lipo. Uses ultrasonic energy at the tip to change fat. Here is an unscientific observation: Self Reporting RealSelf patients who feel their treatment was
