Vaser Lipo Complications and Side Effects

VASER liposuction is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure. However, as with every surgery, there are some risks such as fat embolism, numbness, infection, pain and bruising, excessive loss blood, deep vein thrombosis, fluid collection (seromas), blood collection (hematomas), anesthesia related complications, fibrosis (internal scars) and contour irregularities. Most common effects experienced by VASER Lipo patients (redness, bruising and swelling) typically subside within 1-2 weeks after surgery, as the patients’ bodies adjust to the new contours and the incisions heal. An experienced and specially trained plastic surgeon can help diminish those risks significantly. Contact your surgeon promptly if you notice an increase in swelling, pain, redness, drainage, or bleeding in the surgical area, or if you develop fever (above 100.4 F), dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.

Thank you for your question. 
Primarily, as being a liposuction surgery, the side effects of all other liposuction operations can also be expected on VASER Lipo but they are less with Vaser Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction. 
VASER Lipo is safe and effective cosmetic procedure and the side effects are rare. 
The side effects are typically swelling which peaks at 48 hours and then disappears step by step in 3 weeks and 6 weeks skin contradiction can be evident and this is usually completed by 14 weeks.

Side effects associated with Vaser Liposuction are typically no different than that of traditional liposuction, but are significantly LESS in their presentation in most cases, involving less bruising, swelling, drainage and typically less downtime. Vaser employs ultrasonic energy to break up and remove fat in a more thorough and more evenly while resulting in less damage to the surrounding tissues.When you make the decision to have a cosmetic procedure of any kind, your surgeon and/or surgeon's staff will schedule a series of follow ups after your surgery to ensure you are progressing optimally. Additionally they will give you guidelines for when it is appropriate to follow up with out of the ordinary concerns, such as fever, vomiting, chills and the like.  Make sure that you communicate any concerns directly with the care team for direction moving forward.
