Can I have Vaser Liposuction with a pacemaker?

I know of no contraindication with a pacemaker, but you should check with the manufacturer and receive clearance. Thank you for your question and good luck.

hello barbie1658You should go for an in-patient consultation with a board certified PS who would give you the best answer. #pacemaker #liposuction

Hi there-

Because the VASER uses ultrasound energy, you would not want to do this if you have a pacemaker regulating your heartbeat.

On the other hand, it is important to understand that the benefits of the VASER may not apply to you.

The truth is that I am a huge VASER fan- I think it is the safest and most effective of the alternatives to tumescent liposuction available- but that doesn't mean I think everyone should have it...

The average woman who is a good candidate for liposuction in general would probably get an equally good outcome with ANY machine- as long as the surgeon holding the device is an ethical, skilled, experienced and Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

It is only if patients have scar tissue, are men, or the area to be treated is fibrous that the VASER would definitely offer an advantage.

Provided these don't apply to you, I would find a good surgeon and have tumescent liposuction.
