I was diagnosed with lipedema and secondary lymphedema in my legs. I'm desiring full leg/circumferential (thigh, hips, knees, shins, calves) liposuction. I also had gastric bypass 15 years ago. I know I have skin laxity in thighs. Will VASER 1- correct the lipedema and give debulking results? 2- tighten the kin enough or only deflate it... requiring thigh lift? 3- average cost of full leg lipo? 4- how many required surgery's?
Answer: Vaser Liposuction for lipedema That's a lot of questions packed into one. Let's take them one at a time. Congratulations on losing weight. Another side of congratulations on being able to keep it off. Unfortunately, you will experience laxity of the size. Vaser is designed to loosen up fat tissue prior to liposuction. Vaser by itself does not remove the fat; it just liquefies it. Then we perform traditional or power-assisted liposuction to remove it. I do not see that Vaser explicitly tightens the skin. It can help some, but this is not a primary function of Vaser. There are better devices to tighten the skin. Most likely, if you do not use that power device, you will have to live with looser skin. The cost of liposuction can vary from $20,000 to $30,000 for Lipedema. Usually require more than one surgery. Some surgeons will do five or six if they operate in their surgery center. The surgeon who does high-volume liposuction, like me, can usually accomplish that in two surgeries. A lot of patients who have symptoms can have their procedure covered by their insurance. I provided a link to our website below. Happy to help you if you're interested.
